Bork in 1987, was already cited as misstating facts, to come up with some preconceived result he wanted. The height of unethical [or the aforesaid mental condition], he'd even do that in court cases before him! “'He is ruthlessly result-oriented,' complains one attorney, who accuses Bork of deciding the outcome of cases in advance even if it requires misstating arguments presented to him.”—Ted Gest, “A New Majority Moves to the Right,” 103 US News & World Report (#2) pp 28-29 (13 July 1987). Of course, a propensity to doing this (lying) in even ONE case, serves as an absolute bar, disqualification, to being a judge on any court, much less the Supreme Court. America has had enough of that type of judge, see case list of anti-factual Supreme Court decisions, at our Tiffany site. “It should . . . . make you more suspicious of all legal and judicial institutions. Trust no one in power, including — especially — judges. Don't take judicial opinions at face value. Go back and check the transcript [record]. Cite-check the cases. You will be amazed how often you will find judges 'finessing' the facts and the law. Too often, legal observers take as a given judges' intellectual honesty.”—Prof. Alan M. Dershowitz, Letters to a Young Lawyer (Basic Books, 2001), p 11. See also “A Lawyer's View of the Justice System,” by Joseph H. Delaney, in Analog Sci Fiction and Fact, Vol. CXVIX No. 7 & 8 (July/August 1999). A “reputation . . . for truth and veracity . . . so notoriously bad that [a lawyer is] not to be believed under oath [surely, in decisions]” is to be disbarred, not be a lawyer anymore, says the Michigan Supreme Court, In the Matter of Mills, 1 Mich 392, 398 (1850). That would include disbarment of judges “misstating arguments” in his cases.

Note other morality-professing types, also smokers, tobacco addicts, e.g., William Bennett, Jesse Helms, Henry Hyde, Trent Lott, with their assertions having the same flaws as shown above. Note that professed pro-life or "religious right" types (the term is "Pro-Life in Name Only," PLINO) such as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell,   John Hagee,   Ralph Reed, Kenneth Starr, Ronald Reagan, Pat Buchanan, William Bennett, George Bush I and II, Rush Limbaugh, Jesse Helms, John Ashcroft, Mitch McConnell, Karl Rove, Randall Terry, etc., take misleading views and positions of the type herein exposed. They don't expose the tobacco connections above-cited; yet they profess to be 'pro-life'! Aiding and abetting the mass obstruction and deaths as above shown, is that really pro-life? Ask yourself, are they faking concern? Addiction explains smokers' disinformation. But these other people, don't they know better? They profess to teach! "The abortion issue provides an example of how rightist politicians use religiosity in pursuit of political goals. In the late 1960's, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and other conservative leaders supported a woman's right to safe and legal abortion.," says Prof. Michael Parenti, Ph.D., Land of Idols: Political Mythology in America (New York: St. Martin's Press, 1993), Chapter 1, "The Politics of Religiosity," p 42-43. "While governor of California, Ronald Reagan supported and signed into law one of the nation's most liberal abortion bills. Roe vs. Wade was decided by the Nixon-appointed Burger Supreme Court. In December 1969, while serving in the [U.S.] House of Representatives, Bush endorsed free choice on abortion," says Parenti, Myths, supra, p 179. "Conservatives had long maintained that the poor produced too many babies. More abortions would mean less children on welfare. But conservatives also cast about [1 Peter 5:8 style] for noneconomic issues that cut across class lines such as school prayers, homophobia, sexism, pornography in the arts, racism, affirmative action, family values, and fear of crime issues that might win support from modest-income voters who would otherwise have no common cause with the Right. When they discovered that working-class Roman Catholic and fundamentalist Protestant votes could be gleaned on the abortion issue, rightist politicians soon became supporters of compulsory pregnancy, in what was one of the most dramatic flip-flops of modern American politics," says Parenti, Myths, supra, p 43. In the 1980 presidential campaign, "[e]verywhere [George H. W.] Bush went . . . he was followed by prolife demonstrators. [Bush asked] 'How am I going to get rid of these people?' [Answer] 'Change your position.' . . . He wanted to be president, and that is what the party activists required of him," says Robert D. Novak, The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years Reporting in Washington (New York: Crown Forum, 2007), Chapter 28, p 341, citing his Completing the Revolution (1999). Republican Presidential Candidate (2012) Willard ("Mitt") Romney has a long record of holding typical conservative pro-abortion views. See "Romney Invested in Medical-Waste Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses, Government Documents Show" (Monday, 2 July 2012). He "had been part of an investment group that invested $75 million in Stericycle, a medical-waste disposal firm that has been attacked by anti-abortion groups for disposing aborted fetuses collected from family planning clinics." Romney's pro-abortion activism paid off handsomely, reaping "tens of millions of dollars in profits for Romney and his partners." Romney, age 65, continues to hold his formative years standard 1960's-1970's conservative Republican pro-abortion viewpoint, thus proclaims that he will not, if elected President, take any anti-abortion measures, 10 October 2012). Rev. S. R. Shearer reveals the actual pro-death beliefs of such people, in "How the GOP and its ally, the Religious Right, have created a Death Cult" (10 February 2012) ("Contemporary conservatism is bent on destroying the social safety net (basic programs such as Social Security and unemployment insurance). . . . As recent data suggests, poverty leads to death and a diminished lifespan. When the ... Republicans stand against food stamps, unemployment insurance, Medicaid, and other programs for those displaced by the Great Recession, through actions both direct and indirect, they are in fact killing people.") "Louisiana Will Stop Providing End of Life Care to Low-Income Americans" (20 January 2013) (Conservative Gov. Bobby Jindahl's policies mean that "low-income Louisianans with terminal illnesses, debilitating disabilities, and chronic long-term medical problems will no longer have access to the essential home and medical care that they need"). "My Family, Our Cancer, and the Murderous Cruelty of Conservatives" (Kurt Eichenwald, 15 July 2013) (Conservatives are shutting down health care facilities for the poor, with the result to kill them. One anti-abortion bill sponsor, Rep. Jodie Laubenberg, "the legislator who, famously in Texas, opposed state funding of prenatal care—essential for the health of babies—because fetuses “aren’t born yet.” Anti-aborts clearly have no regard for fetuses at all. They simply pretend concern, solely in anti-abort context, to scam their sheeple retard voters, conservatives who don't have the mental capacity to comprehend the anti-aborts hypocrisy and real agenda, aiding and abetting Big Business.) Terrance Heath, Republican Death Panels (Tuesday, 31 July 2012) ("They are the six Republican governors who have vowed to refuse the Medicaid expansion that will happen most other states, under the Affordable Care Act — Rick Scott (FL), Rick Perry (TX), Phil Bryant (MS), Nikki Haley (SC), Terry Branstad (IA), and Bobby Jindal (LA). These Republican governors are opening the "trap door" that the Supreme Court installed in the Affordable Care Act, even at it upheld most of the law. But it's the poorest residents in these states, many of whom are African American and Latino, and who would have gained health coverage and access to care, that will fall through that trap door.") Just as they long have, the modern "Religious Right" calling themselves Republicans, still want minorities to die, whether by abortion or by denying health care. The belief system supporting increasing death rate among the non-elite derives from the elite's education system, see background by Prof. Adam Howard, "Unlearning the Lessons of Privilege," Teaching Social Responsibility, Vol. 66(#8), May 2009) (has example of contempt of the affluent capitalist class for non-members of same). (See also Prof. Howard's Learning Privilege: Lessons of Power and Identity in Affluent Schooling (London: Routledge, 2007) ("Explores what educators, students and families at elite schools value most in education and how these values guide ways of knowing and doing that both create high standards for their educational programs and reinforce privilege as a collective identity. This book illustrates the ways that affluent students construct their own privilege.") Republican National Committee women employees' health insurance covers abortions, says Jennifer Nedeau in the article "Low Income Women Can't Get Abortions, But RNC Staffers Can" (12 November 2009). The "staffers of the Republican National Committee have had abortion covered under their insurance plan since at least 1991." "Hobby Lobby Hypocrisy; The Company's Retirement Plan Invests in Contraception Manufacturers" (1 April 2014) "more than $73 million"! "The company's owners argued [that the Health Care Reform Law] forced them to violate their religious beliefs [against contraception]. But while it was suing the government, Hobby Lobby spent millions of dollars on an employee retirement plan that invested in the manufacturers of the same contraceptive products the firm's owners cite in their lawsuit." The Supreme Court's "right to life" conservatives voted 5-4 to ignore the hypocrisy! See also John LeBoutillier, "McCain's Character" (11 July 2006). “When you head South, you're talking about two things—tobacco farmers and evangelicals,” said Ralph Reed (2000). This "Religious Right" / "Bible Belt" / tobacco role has been true for centuries! Under Democrats, abortion rates go down. "After reaching 25 percent from a high of over 1.6 million in 1990 [George Bush I immediately after Ronald Reagan], the number of abortions performed annually in the U.S. has leveled off [2012] at about 1.2 million a year," says U.S. Abortion Statistics By Year (1973-Current) (National Right to Life Factsheet, January 2012). This is a 400,000 decline once Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama took office. For background on, e.g., pipe smoker Gerald R. Ford, see Jason Miller, "And the Empire Mourned … Dissecting the Big Lie" (30 December 2006), and Joseph Nevins, Ph.D., A Not-so-distant Horror: Mass Violence in East Timor (Cornell University Press, 2005) and "Standards for Rembrance: Crimes Against Humanity From Ford to Saddam" (Counterpunch, 6-7 January 2007) cigar smoker Antonin Scalia, see Sean Wilentz, Ph.D., “Justice Scalia, a Chilling Vision” (New York Times, 8 July 2002). For related background on PLINO's, see, e.g., Prof. Edward Alsworth Ross, Sin and Society: An Analysis of Latter-Day Iniquity (Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1907) Prof. Michael Parenti, Land of Idols: Political Mythology in America (New York: St. Martin's Press, 1993) (cites "religious leaders" who "evade social issues such as poverty, oppression and militarism [the beam], and [instead solely] on personal pieties, sectarian intolerance, and a prudish moralism. . . . Sin and virture are defined as private matters unrelated to economic issues. Thus a worker who filches something from the business firm is guilty of theft, but the firm owners who grow rich off the underpaid labor of workers [ James 5:1-5] are not considered thieves. Government policy that tolerates 'pornography' in art and literaturee is sinful, while government policy that pursuses wars of aggression and favors the rich over the poor is not. Virture is [solely] a matter of loving and obeying God, rather than [the Bible Society Management Laws] advancing the collective human condition," p 44. Cites Ross's Sin and Society, supra. For more, click here.) Chris Floyd, “Goobers on Parade: Fake Christians and Sham Southerners” (5 June 2006) (cites the fact that these people with a “fake Christianity and fake patriotism have been pulled out from under their muddy rocks and loosed upon the nation by cynical manipulators in the power elite, who have used them as blunt instruments to advance their own predatory agenda.”) [“Power elite” agenda includes supporting tobacco, and obstructing safety rules, adequate minimum wage, decent health care, etc.] The Religious Right / Bible Belt scam is carefully designed for distraction purposes. “. . . you don't have to be pious with us. Ma and I are a couple of old dragoons. We like religion; like the good old hymns—takes us back to the hick town we came from; and we believe religion is a fine thing to keep people in order—they think of higher things instead of all these strikes and big wages and the kind of hell-raising that's throwing the industrial system all out of kilter. And I like a fine upstanding preacher that can give a good show. . . . But we ain't pious. And any time you want to let down—and I reckon there must be times when a big cuss like you must get pretty sick of listening to the snivelling sisterhood!—you just come to us, and if you want to smoke or even throw in a little jolt of liquor, as I've been known to do, why we'll understand.” Quoted from Sinclair Lewis, Elmer Gantry (1927), Chapter XXIII, Section 2, paragraph 12, p 302. Reason: "the church is in bondage to Big Business and doctrines as laid down by millionaires," Chapter XXVII, last paragraph, p 364, with the goal “that workmen would turn from agitation to higher things, and work more loyally at the same wages” (Chapter XIII, Section III, p 195), says Sinclair Lewis, Elmer Gantry (1927). "The whole art of Conservative politics . . . is being deployed to enable wealth to persuade poverty [scam the middle class and poor] to use its political freedom to keep wealth [the rich and powerful] in power," says Aneurin Bevan, cited in William Blum, Killing Hope (Monroe, Maine: Common Courage Press, 2004), Chapter 3, p 34. The RTL / morality scam is done by such hypocrites for the purpose of conning their targets. And "regardless of what we [sane people] view as . . . arrogant folly and sub-intelligence. Forget about changing their minds. These Christians [sic] do not read the same books we do, they do not get their information from anything remotely resembling reasonably balanced sources [they] appear to be dangerously nuts [with their contradictory] Dominionism, Pretribulationism, Midtribulationism, and Posttribulationism, Premillennialism, Millennialism," says Joseph Bageant, "The Covert Kingdom: Thy Will be Done, On Earth as It is in Texas (25 May 2004). William McKibben, "The Christian Paradox"   (Harpers, August 2005): "Only 40 percent of Americans can name more than four of the Ten Commandments, and a scant half can cite any of the four authors of the Gospels. Twelve percent believe Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife. . . . America is simultaneously the most professedly Christian of the developed nations and the least Christian in its behavior. . . ." Rev. Melvin White, Religion Gone Bad: The Hidden Dangers of the Christian Right (Tarcher, 7 September 2006) Jack Clark, "How to Challenge Right-Wing Christians" (TNR, Thursday 29 Sept 2005) Robert Lanham, The Sinner's Guide to the Religious Right (Background) Rosemary Agonito, "Hey Wait; Jesus Didn't Say That. Time to Call Out the Religious Right (Tuesday, 10 July 2012) ("The religious right defines family as the nuclear family, insular and complete in itself – the basis of social structure and the path to salvation. But Jesus radically redefines family as the community, stating again and again that we are all equal bothers and sisters. He goes so far as to repudiate his own nuclear family. When Jesus is told that his mother and brothers are looking for him as he speaks to a large crowd, he asks, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” Then he turns to the crowd and affirms, “Here are my mother and my bothers. Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” Throughout his ministry, he reiterates that he has come to redefine the family – that all of us are bothers and sisters, worthy of love. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.” Indeed, when Jesus specifies who will “inherit the kingdom,” it comes down to feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, caring for the sick, visiting those imprisoned – all members of the family. “Just as you did it to one of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Jesus goes so far on a number of occasions to state that unless one is willing to leave behind biological family ties, he cannot be part of the new order Jesus has come to establish.")

See the answer by Eastern Nazarene College evangelical professors Randall J. Stephens (History) and Karl W. Giberson (Physics), writing in The Anointed: Evangelical Truth in a Secular Age (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2011), especially Chapter 6, page 244, the undereducated seek "cultural cues" thus believe "someone just like us" rather than experts "with whom we have nothing in common." The undereducated in short, go by prejudice, eiesgesis, tergiversation, B.S. This is a continuation of the approach and atttitude of the Old South's white trash, analyzed thusly: “The readiness with which Southern [Religious Righters] prefer the most false and audacious claims . . . exhibits a state of society in which truth and honor are but little respected,” says Lewis Tappan, Address to the Non-slaveholders of the South: on The Social and Political Evils of Slavery (New York: S.W.

(See excerpt from The Chronicle of Higher Education, Vol 52, Issue 42, Page B6: "And what about abortion, the issue that the religious right decided in the early 1980s was its signature concern? Since January 2003, the Republican and religious-right coalition has controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress—yet, curiously, it has not tried to outlaw abortion. Why? Could it be that its members are less interested in actually reducing the incidence of abortion itself (in which case they should seek to alter public opinion on the matter) than in continuing to use abortion as a potent political weapon?") See also Amanda Marcotte, "It Wasn’t Abortion That Formed the Religious Right. It Was Support for Segregation" (Slate, 29 May 2014) ("The religious right, who liked to call themselves the 'moral majority' at the time, actually organized around fighting to protect Christian schools from being desegregated.

This non-delivery "on their issues" can be understood by the fact that RTL's alleged issues, are a PLINO scam, not intended to be delivered on, but instead, to serve as a cover for RTL's policy to endorse anti-family, anti-union, anti-environment, pro-guns, pro-war, pro-tobacco candidates. Note this pro-tobacco-death behavior pattern rampant in the PLINO professed 'pro-life' movement. Note the disproportionate number of what our ancestors would call "Confederates" among them, people who typically cover up their real beliefs, and transmit their notions generation after generation. Notice it among them. Bottom line: the pretended 'pro-life'!! movement is the tobacco-death lobby by another name. Never met a tobacco-lobby view or line-of-reasoning it doesn't support! A rose, or thorn, by any other name. . . . Here in Michigan, July 2004, who were leaders against increasing cigarette tax? Many PLINO "right-to-life" politicians!!--intentionally losing an opportunity to help discourage smoking, holocaust, abortion. . . . RTL leadership refused to speak out. Foreseeable result: Causing much of the very evils they allege, claim, profess, purport, to oppose! Since the modern RTL movement came along in the 1970's, obstructing prevention, fighting the non-smoker movement, it has been aiding and abetting tobacco effects. Wherefore, abortions, drug abuse, AIDS, terrorism, etc. have come along, or vastly increased. Matural and probable consequences of obstructing prevention, are in law, intended. For more on their opposing prevention, see, e.g., "Why the Anti-Choice Movement Is on the Verge of Civil War," by Cristina Page (AlterNet, 31 July 2009). Such people who talk for morals, while behind-the-scenes, obstructing them, follow the classic Southern mole approach, used in slavery, and carried on for generation after generation, of professing to be for morality, liberty, etc., while sabotaging them! For background on this, see Rev. William Goodell, Slavery and Anti-Slavery (1852), p 131. False “Christians” have a record of turning others away from Christianity, currently, see Karen Horst Cobb, “No Longer a Christian” [25 October 2004] and historically, in the slavery era. See references by e.g., Pastor Brian D. McLaren, The Secret Message of Jesus (W Pub Group, 2006), saying “that Christians should be more concerned about creating a just 'Kingdom of God' on earth than about getting into heaven” (reference “Evangelical Author Puts Progressive Spin On Traditional Faith,” by Caryle Murphy, Washington Post (Sunday, 10 September 2006, p A1)). This rejects “'The modern [alleged] Christian formula of 'I mentally assent to the fact that Jesus died for my sins and therefore I get to live forever in heaven' . . . is entirely cognitive,' said Ken Archer, 33, a D.C. software entrepreneur who is studying philosophy at Catholic University. 'It's a mathematical formula [that] leaves the rest of our being unfulfilled.'” See also James Carroll, "The Many Forms of Fundamentalism" (Boston Globe, 19 March 2007).
