A brilliant new documentary, "Clarence Thomas: In His Own Words," tells us a lot about the left's playbook.
Every American should see the new film, Clarence Thomas: In His Own Words.
It is a beautiful film about his life, told in his own voice. The reason it is so relevant is that his story, especially in the left's attempt to block his confirmation to the SCOTUS because he by then was a conservative black man, has lessons for today.
So what again did the left do? They began with the "let's get a woman to accuse him of sexual harassment" play. Out of nowhere came the loathsome Anita Hill to duly spill her fabricated tale of phony woe that was meant to stop his confirmation. Seeing these scenes from that "high-tech lynching," which it most certainly was, is an apt reminder of how far and how viciously the left is willing to go to get its way.
]Joe Biden, then the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is so sneering, so intent upon humiliating Thomas that one is reminded why he should never get close to the Oval Office again. Biden is truly a vile man.
And who are the racists in this tale? The truth of that is abundantly clear: It is the Democrats and the usual suspects in the media who cannot abide a conservative black man in their midst and will do anything, no matter how underhanded, to destroy such a man.
Fortunately for all Americans, they failed to quash Thomas' confirmation, thanks to the Republicans and eleven Democrats. Ironically, the vote count to confirm was exactly what the vote to acquit President Trump was on Wednesday: 52 to 48!
It is almost surreal to watch the scenes from the Thomas "trial" because it tracks so precisely with what the Democrats then did to Brett Kavanaugh.
Just when it seemed his confirmation was a done deal, the fraudulent Christine Blasey Ford appeared on the scene as a wrench in the gears with her absolutely unbelievable story about having been "molested" by Kavanaugh in high school!
Not a word she uttered was remotely credible but that did not matter to the Democrats on the current Judiciary Committee, not one bit. They behaved as though she was the innocent rape victim on an episode of Law & Order, SVU. She was nothing of the kind. As with what the Democrats did to Thomas in 1991, she was a hired gun, a willing participant in another high-tech lynching. These two women both allowed themselves to be used by leftists to achieve a desired end: To stop any justice they feared might oppose Roe v. Wade. That is what motivated the Democrats in 1991 and still motivates them today.
Thomas is a religious man, and just that is what energized them to implement their plan to wreck the Thomas confirmation. Kavanaugh, too, is a religious man and there is nothing the left hates more than people of faith. This is why they despise President Trump, too, and Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and Dennis Prager. Such men are the bane of their existence.
It is the scenes with Joe Biden that are the most infuriating. To see how he so thoroughly delighted - the looks on his face are unmistakable - in belittling a fine black man is beyond disturbing. Biden is not just incompetent and by now a bit senile; his demeanor then betrayed the fact that he is malevolent to his core. How he ever came to be Obama's vice president is a mystery. He is not a good person. That he came in fourth (so far) in the Iowa caucus proves that most Americans are smarter than democrats ever realize. Biden will never be president of this country.
All of which brings us to the Democrats' repeated attempts to impeach President Trump, each shot based on wholly fabricated nonsense. From the Russia hoax invented and paid for by the Clinton campaign to the most recent orchestrated scheme by Adam Schiff over a phone call. Each try is more feeble than the last and this one was the most ridiculous. Still, all the Democrats and one spineless and compromised Republican, 'Pierre Defecto," or rather, "Delecto," voted to convict despite there being no actual evidence presented beyond the opinions of some self-important foreign policy underlings. But Schiff, a man sorely afflicted with numerous mental maladies, and his fellow conspirators plowed ahead with the view that, again, Americans are stupid and would fall for their game just as the democrats in 1991 assumed they could sway public opinion against Justice Thomas. The current Democrats thought they could convince the American people that Kavanaugh had been, thirty years ago, an abuser of a young girl even though, like in the Thomas case, the charges were entirely fallacious.
In the end, the Democrats lost in each of these controversies.
Clarence Thomas has been one of the finest Justices in history. He has written over six hundred opinions (30% more than any other Justice), many of them dissents, and since the death of Antonin Scalia, he is perhaps the lone true originalist on the Court. The Democrats failed to prevent Kavanaugh's confirmation and lost again in their effort of impeach President Trump, an outcome that was certain as they began this charade. They have one playbook - destroy any opponent by any means necessary. But they never learn; they are stuck on stupid.
Presiding over Schiff's impeachment trial, Chief Justice John Roberts betrayed his bias when he refused to read Rand Paul's question about how the latest "inquiry" began, because it contained the name of the faux whistleblower. Like everyone else in the room, like everyone watching at home, he knew the name. His failure to read it aloud is suspect. President Trump, in the months ahead, should appoint Clarence Thomas as Chief Justice because he cannot be bought, not by partisan politics, not for anything. He loves and knows our Constitution and applies it unfettered by current ideological theories or partisan politics. See the film.
