A Democratic senator who lied about his military service for decades is now calling on his colleagues to thoroughly vet the background of President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.), a member of the Senate committee that handles legal confirmation hearings, said that Appellate Court Judge Neil Gorsuch will face tough questions about his background. He said the Colorado-based judge will have "every aspect of his background" investigated by Democratic committee members before his nomination to the nation's highest court moves forward.
"It is important that every aspect of his background be critically and closely scrutinized," Blumenthaltold the Wall Street Journal.

ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to our military, this "stolen valor" is the absolute worst lie that can be told.
ReplyDeleteThere are, I think, laws on the books that address this (but they may just pertain to the wearing of medals and ribbons).
The guy is scum. A cowardly scum.
Yes, I am a Vietnam era veteran. Even though I was assigned to a Combat Support Group in the Far East in 1968, I am the first to immediately correct anyone that calls me a "Vietnam veteran". I never touched ground in Vietnam, and I would never take away the sacrifice and bravery of men and women that did, by ever saying I was there.
