Product Description
The un-told true story of how a bipartisan group of Pennsylvania women attorneys took on the entire U.S.Senate judicial confirmation process - and won.
Follow former Reagan White House aide Jeffrey Lord - now a contributing editor of The American Spectator - into the trenches of political rebellion. Read the details as a group of average Americans take on US Senators Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden, John Edwards and other household - and powerful - names.
Federal District Judge D. Brooks Smith, a Reagan appointee, was considered by his peers of Pittsburgh conservative and liberal attorneys, Republicans and Democrats alike, to be a "sterling" judge with an unmarred reputation. That is, until President George W. Bush nominated him to the United States Third Circuit Court of Appeals. His nomination - announced by the White House on September 10, 2001 - became a dramatic showdown between a group of average Americans and the most powerful Senators and interest groups in Washington.
From the promise of a personal phone call from the President on September 11th - a call which never came as America suddenly found itself under attack - to the suspense-filled conclusion, The Borking Rebellion is a dramatic and disturbing expose of Washington politics gone haywire under the force of powerful special interests who are "judge shopping" for their own agendas - an agenda secretly financed by left-wing billionaire George Soros.
The Borking Rebellion is told by the central character, Jeffrey Lord, who was there to witness it first hand - taking notes and investigating as the brutal assault on Judge Smith proceeded step by step. With the Supreme Court once again in the news, and fights over Obama nominees Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan in the headlines, The Borking Rebellion reminds again of the timeless nature of the ferocious power struggle between average Americans and the Washington Establishment.
