"In 1988, Biden ended his search for the presidency when it was discovered that, in reciting the story of his life, he had plagiarized a speech given by Neil Kinnock, the leader of the Labour Party in Britain.

"When [Joe Biden] was chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the Senate, he worked closely with Ted Kennedy, and with malicious deceit, in defeating the nomination of Robert Bork. That led in turn to the nomination of Anthony Kennedy. Justice Kennedy would lead a defection of Republican appointees in 1992 to block the overruling of Roe v Wade.
And after securing the right to abortion for another generation, he laid the groundwork for removing, from the laws, any adverse judgment on the homosexual life. (Romer v Evans, 1996, Lawrence v. Texas, 2003). With that, he installed the premises that led, step-by-step to same-sex marriage (Obergefehl v. Hodges, 2015)."
