Explosive testimony proves Alito accuser is a liar

The Democrats have been on a mission to discredit the Supreme Court over the past few years.

And, as usual, they don’t care a whit about how they accomplish that goal. They are interested solely in creating a Narrative that suits their purpose, and not even remotely interested in ensuring that they are being truthful.

Not even a little bit.

We can all recall the outcry over Amy Coney Barrett’s appointment to the Court. In its wake the Left pushed relentlessly for expanding the size of and packing the Court with liberals.

That went nowhere because it is grossly unpopular. Despite a decline in support for the Court–driven largely by a massive propaganda campaign by the Left–Americans trust politicians even less than the Supreme Court. Congress has approval ratings hovering around the worst of the worst: Satan and the MSM.

So the Left has chosen a new tactic, or at least a revision of an old one: slander. Lie, cheat, steal, smear–you know the drill. Since the truth doesn’t work, and neither does hyperbole, just flat out lie.

And that is what they have been doing. And they have been caught in the act. Not that they will admit it, but it is on video for all the world to see.

On Thursday the Judiciary Committee held a hearing about the Supreme Court, based upon the accusation that Justice Alito leaked the Hobby Lobby decision to a Christian activist. The accusation was made by Rev. Robert Schenck, who claimed that a colleague had told him that Alito had leaked the decision to her in the months prior to it being released.

Both Alito and the woman to whom he supposedly leaked the decision deny it vehemently. The Democrats, very unwisely, brought Rev. Schenck before the committee to spin his tale. Under cross examination by Jim Jordan his credibility was shredded.

What Jordan demonstrates is that Schenck is an accomplished liar, as well as an utterly shameless one. He will simply invent a tale and sell it with a straight face.

Earlier Schenck had testified to a conspiracy to influence the Supreme Court organized by nefarious Right Wingers. It was sufficiently convincing that the Democrats made him a star witness in their kangaroo court hearings aimed at a Congressional takeover of Supreme Court functions.

The Left was utterly ecstatic about his testimony, because he said EXACTLY what they wanted to hear. Utterly indifferent to the truth or falsity of the claims, they eagerly spread them around the Internet at light speed.

A “Truth Bomb!” Uh, yeah, right. The guy is a proven fabulist. Yet the Left will take this story and run with it. They already have.

So how will the MSN cover it? Moments after the evisceration of Schenck by Rep. Jordan, the Washington Post plops the exchange paragraphs down in a story and described it thusly:

Jordan sought to undermine Schenck’s credibility as a witness Thursday by getting him to admit that some details in a book Schenck wrote about the court were inaccurate. “You got the key detail wrong and now you remember an additional detail,” Jordan said after displaying a poster with text from Schenck’s book. “We’re supposed to take your word over Justice Alito’s word, over Gayle Wright’s word?”

Is that technically true? Only in the most minimal sense. It was in the 7th paragraph of a long story, and they drop it after this and go back to the accusations against Alito and the Court in general.

Schenck also smeared Justice Thomas, implying that Thomas had been giving them a wink and a nod about how the pastors visiting were influencing the Court. It was a disgusting display, and a great example of the utter shamelessness of these people.

Still, the Left will shamelessly put their spin on this, and in all likelihood the MSM will back up their story to the hilt. Here’s an influential Lefty pushing the false Narrative AFTER Schenck’s credibility was totally shredded.

Schenck is another in the line of formerly Republican grifters who have found that they can get a much better deal from the Democrats than the Republicans. Not a shred of shame, nor any concern for justice. Schenck claims he was a pro-life activist at one time, but he has renounced his pro-life views and hooked up with Disney heiress Abigail Disney. He founded an organization with her help (i.e. money).

Disney again. Funny how that works.

Schenck wrote in the New York Times in 2019, after Disney funded his Institute:

Over the last decade, I have changed my view on Roe. I’ve come to believe that overturning Roe would not be “pro-life”; rather, it would be destructive of life. I have witnessed firsthand and now appreciate the full significance of the terrible poverty, social marginalization and baldfaced racism that persists in many of the states whose legislators are now essentially banning abortion. If Roe is overturned, middle- and upper-class white women will still secure access to abortions by traveling to states where abortion is not banned, but members of minorities and poor whites will too often find themselves forced to bear children for whom they cannot adequately care.

Another in the long line of pro-choicers whose #1 priority is to kill poor, usually black, babies.

I can’t look into Schenck’s soul, but I can evaluate his actions. Perhaps it was not the revelation of a large pocketbook that changed his mind, but an (im)moral awakening in his soul.

It sure looks more like the former than the latter. He has hitched his financial wagon to the Left-wing, and is doing their bidding. That is how I see it. I hope, for his soul, that I am merely being uncharitable.

But the evidence that he is a liar is indisputable. I know that won’t move the needle in the MSM, as they, too, have chosen their side and it isn’t the side of truth.
