“none of the allegations has any substance or justification”
Last minute “plagiarism” smear against Gorsuch is denied by supposed “victim” - Hot Air
"Several publications were aware that a group of Democratic supporters were shopping around a smear against Supreme Court Justice nominee Neil Gorsuch this week in which they alleged instances of plagiarism in his published works. The charges stem from a few passages from his book on assisted suicide and an academic article published over a decade ago. The group finally found a customer at Politico who ran with the claims last night.
But how valid are these charges? Politico cites some sources (more on them below) who are claiming that the incidents constitute a violation of ethical standards, but that’s hardly the case. Ed Whelan at National Review notes the 11th hour nature of this smear and cites other academics who recognize when one needs or does not need to cite a particular source.
Dr. Chris Mammen, a fellow student of Gorsuch’s at Oxford, emphasizes that the “standard practice in a dissertation is to cite the underlying original source, not a secondary source, that supports a factual statement.”
Oxford professor emeritus John Finnis, who supervised Gorsuch’s dissertation and has reviewed the charges, says that “none of the allegations has any substance or justification” and that Gorsuch’s “writing and citing was easily and well within the proper and accepted standards of scholarly research and writing in the field of study in which he was working.”
From the FAKE NEWS 'Russia-Trump' non-scandal LIE to the last-second Gorsuch FAKE NEWS smear campaign, the level of desperation being demonstrated by the sore-loser, butt-hurt snowflakes through throwing FAKE NEWS shit up at the wall and hoping that it sticks is at record levels.
They have proven that almost nothing they say can be believed any more - almost a complete loss of credibility due to their psychotic triggered meltdown as a result of Trump's win.
AGAIN, this is another demonstration of why the Democrats have lost over 1,000 political positions in 8 years and why they have lost back-to-back historic, record-setting election!
