Dems accused of trying to extort witness for conservative court nominee

 Federalist Wire:

...

Who can forget when the Left went after Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process.

Democrats were dead set on trying to bring up false accusations of s*xual assault against the Trump-nominated justice in order to reduce the amount of conservatives on the bench.

They brought in Christine Blasey Ford who claimed that she was s*xually assaulted by Kavanaugh in high school during the 1980s. Ford was unable to provide any substantial evidence to that claim and Kavanaugh was eventually cleared and confirmed to the United States Supreme Court.

However, more revelations are coming out that suggest that the Democrats were heavily behind the scenes to try and get one of Kavanaugh’s friends to support Ford’s allegations as true.

Mark Judge, a journalist, spoke with Fox Nation’s Martha MacCallum during an interview and claimed that the Left tried to blackmail him and extort him so that he would help verify the allegations by Ford against his high school friend, Justice Kavanaugh.

“They thought, ‘Okay, if we can get Mark Judge involved in this, we can sink Kavanaugh. But we have to get Mark Judge involved in this this,'” Judge said to MacCallum during the interview.

Democrats found out about his alcoholism and used that as a way to try and extort him.

“And they thought it would be easy. They thought, ‘Okay, this is an easy hit. We will get Judge involved. We will get him down there in front of the committee. He’s a recovering alcoholic. He’s got a past we can comb through for days and this will completely implode Kavanaugh,'” Judge continued.

Judge also claimed that allies of the Left tried to get him to change his story in order to destroy Kavanaugh. They claimed that if he did that, he would be a “hero.”

“Several people said, ‘Yeah, you jumped on the bed and broke things up. You prevented this. You’re the hero here. You say that and you’re home free. I had journalists who I had been friends with sending me emails: ‘Do it, Mark. Do it for humanity. Lie about this for humanity,'” he explained to MacCallum.

To make this story even more haunting, Judge recalled how he received a very threatening phone call from someone with a California number.

“On September 24, 2018, my birthday, I got a call from a California number. They were brilliant enough to leave a message: ‘You like effing with people, Mark. I like effing with people, too. You better change your story,” Judge said.
...

This appears to be a desperate attempt by Democrats to keep a conservative off the court.  There should be consequences for this type of extortion attempt.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
