1. the video description explains exactly why she was on that plane…

2. Ted Olsen…..you fraud. You know Barbara wasnt on the plane.

3. Ted Olson, the traitor who went on every network (including Larry King) and told the world his wife called him from Flight 77 (hit the Pentagon) and laid the foundation for Muslims with box cutters hijacking airliners… The FBI, in the 2006 trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, under oath, made clear his claimed calls were of 'zero duration' – they did not happen. He lied! He cried fire in a theater and the world didn't jail him for life?! 9/11 is a lie based on this criminal's introduction to the great conspiracy. He didn't even mourn his dead wife; instead, he re-married another young, blonde lookalike (20 years his junior) like they all do…these alt-right, women-hating pervs.

4. Olson’s analysis of Kavanaugh’s hearing conduct is weak and almost embarrassing…

5. Bork just came across as a man who enjoyed gamesmanship too much. He didn't come across as prudent, cautious or contemplative. He conducted his interviews as if he enjoyed attention more than he enjoyed being a public servant. That made him dangerous to the people. He had an ego so enlarged he tripped over it.

7. What goes around …………

8. A conservative? Accused of sexual harassment? Name a better duo. I'll wait.

9. BRILLIANT MAN!
   His beautiful wife Barbara was killed on 911. I believe she was on flight 77.

10. I was 14 when Borg was nominated by Reagan for SCOTUS.
    I recall Kennedys viscous comments. Although I was 14 at that young age I realized it was a terrible injustice.
    What the Dem's failed to foresee that tactic turned thousands of teens throughout America into future Conservatives.

11. Ted Olson's Report of Phone Calls from Barbara Olson on 9/11: Three Official Denials. it has also been contradicted by the FBI. According to the FBI, therefore, Ted Olson did not receive a single call from his wife using either a cell phone or an onboard phone.

12. Dem nominees generally are political hacks put on not to defend but to change the constitution, they deservie only derision and ridicule. The supreme court is a catch 22, if 5 of 9 agree to say up is down then by definition the constitution says up is down. Scurrilous bums

13. Bork made himself unsuitable for the Supreme Court when he bowed down to Nixon and fired Archibald Cox in the 'Saturday Massacre' and then claimed he only did it because Nixon pressured him and he was going to resign afterwards. And then wrote later in his Memoirs that Nixon offered him the next Supreme Court nomination. I don't care what brilliant writer he was. He showed he could be corrupted and bullied. And Republicans need to get over defending him

14. Democrats is leaning the china 🇨🇳 way control. The government people to work for them by force.
    Deny them to work them.
    Is china way of do things that person do not want to do.
    Democrats leaning china way to control the government people.
    To change the White House 🏠. Using what what ever it
    Take cover up there wrong doing. To get Trump out of the white house

15. Mark my words; the next Democratic male nominee to the USSC WILL be accused of rape.

16. I think Jefferson was opposed to creating the Supreme Court, and he fought John Marshall over whether the Court should have the power to overturn acts of Congress.

17. Bork's name became a verb.

18. Is noone going to comment on how ridiculous his hair is???. How dellusional do you have to be to look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that looks good??? Lol

19. "Trail of Tears?" This reporter needs to read on history. The comparison is really hollow.

20. It would've been an interesting tradeoff. Griswold and Roe would've been overturned, flag burning would still be illegal, Lawrence and Heller would've went the other way. What do conservatives care more about, abortion or guns?

21. So lemme get this straight….
    Kavanaugh is revenge for something that happened 4 decades prior?

    And Barrett is revenge for Kavanaugh?

22. I wish that all men in positions of power would take a class and listen to professionals in this field (working with women who have been sexually assaulted, raped or harassed) and listen to some of the victims and what it’s done to them psychologically and emotionally and then maybe they could learn that no woman is going to testify falsely about assault. I’m not talking about “buyers remorse”. I think there are some women who make a bad decision and have sex and think they’ll get something from it like a promotion, movie part, whatever and when things don’t turn out the way they bargained for then they FEEL taken advantage of and they turn it into something it’s not. That’s very different from sexual assault and workplace harassment.

23. The more republicans on the SC, the more power goes to big corporations.

24. Bush v Gore was a disaster.

25. This poor dudes birthday is September 11. And on 9/11 his wife Barbara Olsen was killed. She was on one of the airliners.

26. I’m

27. The man, Robert Bork, defended the Jim Crow laws. You have got to be frackin kidding me.

28. He couldn't understand it? Think about why people were so offended by this pick. Come on

29. Revenge is a non-virtuous concept, almost evil. Love how PBS equates Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation with revenge. Well done.

30. Bork had proven to every voter in the country that he was morally bankrupt and ethically challenged (understatement.) Plus, he was the opposite of a centrist. It was just a dumb choice and I can't believe these guys still won't admit it.

31. Ted Olson is among the most intelligent of conservative legal minds. Sadly, he also lost his wife on 9/11. She was a passenger on one of the planes. Some silly soul called him in RINO in the comments below but folks who just dump nastiness are online addicts seeking their dopamine fix. That also heightens limbic brain function at the expense of higher functions, hence the catchphrases with no intelligence attached. Bork was about Nixon pure and simple. And Olson declined to join Trump's legal team. Hence the venom from Trump zombies against him.

32. Merrick Garland was a travesty. McConnell has destroyed the Senate. He has acted only for his party and not for his country.

33. It is especially interesting when he is asked about Kavanaugh and how the Kavanaugh he know was not the person that Ford testified him to be. He said the same thing about Thomas. What conservative men don't understand is that when men interact with other men- and when they interact with other women – that same man could be vastly different. Abusive men are socially considered to be the "salt of the earth". It does not mean they don't abuse women. For this reason, I sadly feel conservative men will never understand or believe women. Olson will never see the side of conservative men that are abusive – they are smart enough to know not to bring that side out.

34. Democrats use politics of personal destruction and outright lies to assume power.

35. "A society deadened by a smothering network of laws while finding release in moral chaos is not likely to be either happy or stable."

    -Robert Bork
    
    Former Solicitor General of the United States

36. WOW The DNC's tools of destruction by personal assassination with a war room of Hollywood elites and Liberal money, supported by the ever so fake, Media Liars.

37. Merrick Garland forever.

38. I found the person conducting the interview to be bias towards the views of Mr. Olson. Not what I have come to expect from Frontline. And no questions about the controversial 2000 election decision by the Supreme Court, and Mr. Olson's part in that case? Pathetic.

39. Bush V Gore destroyed the Supreme Court’s reputation.

40. Wow , bork fired the special prosecutor ? I forgot that detail…on that Saturday night ? …bork borked the prosecutor …that was the Lynch pin …

41. Robert Bork never lived down the reputation of being a political hack and front man for Nixon at the height of the Watergate scandal. Had Bork done what his superiors did and resigned rather than fire the special prosecutor to protect a criminal in the oval office he would have been placed on the Supreme Court without a single dissenting vote.

42. It was a pathetic, shameful display by the DNC. I remember all the "celebrities" coming out to tell everyone "he wasn't the guy", even though they had no clue what they were talking about.
