Amy coney Barrett

Hate group leader Brian Brown issued a statement:

"This is the Supreme Court nomination that could finally bring us a reversal of Roe v Wade and usher in a pro-life majority on the Court. It could also pave the way for the restoration of marriage to our laws and scrapping the illegitimate, anti-constitutional imposition of same-sex ‘marriage’ on the nation.

It will mean that religious liberty will be restored to its rightful place as a foundational constitutional right, and that the fake “rights” that are constantly demanded by the left – including special rules for homosexuals and the so-called transgendered – will no longer see the light of day."

And half of DL just had a collective orgasm.

Cornyn and Tillis were both asked about overturning Roe today and they both declined to comment. Said they were pro-life.

Cornyn will swing right back to being pro-life as soon as he wins his election, and Tillis will vote for Barrett in the Senate after the election, and after he has already lost his seat.

Sounds fair.

There has to be a massive turnout to get rid of Trump and put in a Democratic Senate. Then we can talk about what to do about the crazy shit this dingbat dominionist is going to push from the Court. And yes, it will probably mean adding seats to the Court.

I am not actually sure how a literal overturn of Roe v Wade would play out politically. I imagine it will be chaotic, with some states forever lost to the Republicans as people rush to elect legislators who are pro-choice.

Bring up her crazy ass bullshit handmaid's tale religion, whenever you can. if not in the hearings themselves, than in every comment outside the hearings.

And also, again and again and again, ask her about health care and if she'll kill it. She will do that shit where she can't comment on anything that might come before the Court but so what? Keep asking, in as accusatory a way as possible. Let people know that voting to confirm her means voting to take health care away from millions of Americans.

The Dems can't attack her for her religion. They just can't - there are, unfortunately, too many religious people in this country, and not all of them are Republicans.

So instead they need to hammer her on judicial philosophy, and specifically, how she would reconcile her belief in stare decisis with her potential ruling on a case that would overturn Roe v Wade, or one that would reverse Obergefell or Lawrence.

by Anonymousreply 19September 26, 2020 12:18 AM

Well, they should hammer her on everything, but above all on ACA. We know she'd overturn it. We know she'd essentially outlaw health care for millions of Americans currently getting it. We know she'd throw it away, in the middle of a pandemic, because of wingnut ideology. Democrats have to make that clear whenever possible. It won't defeat her, the fix is in. But they have to saddle every Republican who votes for her with that.

Basing an opinion on how someone looks is rather like racial profiling, isn't it?

Objections should be based only on1) her judicial qualifications, 2) her ability to set her personal opinions (you know the old saying, Ppinions are like arseholes, everyone has one) asdie and adhere to the law, and 3) her frankness in disclosing those opinions under public questioning.

Overturning Roe v. Wade or any other previous judgement is not a matter so easily done and any politician worth his salt knows that once you set precedents like that, the next one up can do so, as well. Precedent is more dangerous than anything else - not to mention the revolt by the citizenry in subsequent elections.

Roe v. Wade has been quietly eroded throughout America at the state level, so far as I can tell. Using the SCOTUS to hammer that last nail in would be, in my view, politically unnecessary given the erosion at the state levels, create more problems socially and in subsequent elections than anyone needs, ditto gay marriage.

Both the hysterical predictions of the halt of progress, and the dreams of the rigntwing nuts at this appointment, should it occur, are overblown.

A far more likely occurrence, however, on the negative side, is the continued partiality toward letting corporate interests off the hook and further detriment to the economic power of an already moribund labour movement in America, which would effect absolutely everyone: gay, straight, black, white, yellow, brown, trans, etc.

There really are more alarming and broader issues at stake in a stacked conservative court than gay marriage, and I say this as an eldergay, and abortion.

The real path to control and power is economics and cui bono and all that.

There was a lot of hand-wringing worry over Jack Kennedy' campaign in 1960. Would he take orders from Rome? Would he oppress non-Catholics?

Sixty years later, five of eight Supreme Court justices are Catholic. With Barret, it would be six of nine, two-thirds Catholic. I have nothing against Catholics personally, but a super-majority of Supreme Court justices of the same religion does not represent the country. IIRC, the US is just, roughly, one quarter self-idenitified Catholics.

But what is the case for her that will be presented in the hearings? And what will the Democrats do to make her looks bad? It's probably not going to have anything to do with her background:

[quote] There’s little doubt about Barrett’s popularity among her Notre Dame colleagues and students, who have voted her three times as professor of the year. A 1997 graduate of the law school, Barrett was recruited back in 2002 to join the faculty. She has continued teaching since being confirmed to the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in 2017.

[quote] Barrett, the oldest of seven children, now has a large family herself, with she and her husband, Jesse, raising seven children in South Bend, including two adopted from Haiti. [She also is raising a special-needs child.]

[quote] "What greater thing can you do than raise children?" she told the audience in Washington. "That’s where you have your greatest impact on the world."

[quote] One of Barrett’s former students, Krista Cox, said she found Barrett to be "immensely fair" when she attended law school about 15 years ago. "I don’t think she was one to let her own political ideology or Catholicism tint or change the way she approached the law," Cox said. "My interactions with her in the classroom are just that she was a brilliant legal mind, but she didn’t try to persuade someone to the correct political way to view this."

[quote] Notre Dame colleague on Barrett: "She’s mind-blowingly intelligent, and she’s also one of the most humble people you’re going to meet. Judge Barrett is the complete package."

This will be a tough one. Democrats will almost surely need to focus on her writing and judicial opinions and the dangers they pose. This doesn't look like Brett Kavanaugh, ver 2.

More Barrett intel from Slate. ACB opposed the appointment of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court because his appointment would "dramatically flip the balance of the power on the court."

[quote] Judge Barrett argued in 2016 that Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court was somehow to be viewed through the lens of raw partisan power: “We’re talking about him being replaced by someone who could dramatically flip the balance of power on the court. It’s not a lateral move.” But the fact that the voters should be allowed to select the nominee in 2016, and the voters—many of whom have already cast ballots—should not be allowed to select the nominee in 2020 (despite polls showing that most voters do not want a justice seated before the election) is also something that nobody mentioned in the Rose Garden (ACB's acceptance speech) either. It would seem that “dramatically flipping the balance of power at the court” is just different when Republicans do it.

R46 - Are you fucking kidding?! "White" America includes huge swaths of working-class AND middle-class people strangling economically over the cost of health-care and taking advantage of the ACA. See the information below.

This is the kind of mindless claptrap that brings down the level of political discussion on this site as the tribal bullshit takes over.

"White" America is being raped and pillaged by Big PhaRma and Big Hospital just like most everyone else. The cost of healthcare in your country is the primary component of America's standard of living as measured internationally coming in behind places like Denmark, Norway, and Canada.

Next time Trump whinges about why "we" don't get immigrants from Norway, someone should pull out the chart showing America in the bottom five and Norway or Switzerland in the top three, and the explanation of why.

Here, dumbfuck:

"Coverage gains were broad-based; the number of uninsured fell substantially among all Americans under age 65, for both men and women, and across subgroups based on race/ethnicity, levels of educational attainment, and states.

Among those gaining coverage from 2010 to 2015, 8.2 million (43 percent) were non-Hispanic white, 2.8 million (15 percent) were non-Hispanic black, 6.2 million (32 percent) were Hispanic, and 2.0 million (10 percent) were other non-Hispanics.

• The large majority (87 percent) of adults gaining coverage from 2010 to 2015 did not have a college degree. Among them, 6.2 million were non-Hispanic white and 7.9 million were nonwhite or Hispanic.

No one with these extreme beliefs ought to be confirmed for the SC.

R92, I knew Barrett was a conservative Catholic; I didn't realize that Barrett was a Charismatic Catholic. Charismatics (of any Christian sect) believe that they possess "gifts of the spirit," such as speaking in tongues, prophesy, snake-handling, etc. Her belief system is no different than many Protestant fundamentalists. That would explain why she doesn't believe in honoring precedent. She believes that she receives revelations from God, which are more important than trivial things like secular law.

This will not end well.

R93 Are you R47? I'm glad you've ascertained the difference. If you're not R47, I hope he sees the light as well. Frankly, I don't see how Notre Dame, or any mainstream Catholics can even consider her as a Catholic any longer. I wish a devout Catholic would opine, but from my knowledge of Theology, and general Catholic teaching, these beliefs contradict Catholic doctrine from Rome.

I may be mistaken, but other than a second coming of their Messiah, there are no such beliefs in Catholicism. Catholics I know have described this set of beliefs as a "Protestant Invention" which stems from a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of their scriptures. No Rapture with suffering and dying Jews, etc.

Whilst some do indeed believe a role is to be played by an Antichrist figure, this teaching is not central to the faith. I have also been told there is no belief in an apocalyptic style end of the world by mainstream Catholics, and that their Nicene Creed professes a world without end. Roman Catholics should distance themselves from Coney-Barret, and make these distinctions more widely known.

Dahlia Lithwick, a friend of RBG's writes a great takedown article of Trump's nomination, the Right's lack of originality and this woman who's job is to take down everything RBG ever did.

She’s a straight white man in drag

I hope she talks about her sex life and how she enjoys a big cock.

In 2017 Al Franken questioned Amy during her first confirmation hearing. He wondered why she spoke before an anti-gay group listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group.

I predict that this time she will be SWIFTY confirmed. No one, Republican or Democrat, will be able to stand listening to her voice for three days. "Just confirm her and get her out of here."

Amy apparently lied on her questionnaire submitted to the Judiciary Committee.

Amy thinks it would be appropriate to imprison any woman who doesn't use every single egg that was gathered for IVF.

You know, something Hitler would do.

Yes, E102. Lying is apparently ok in her world view, but not discarding an unused IVF embryo.

I think it is necessary to postpone any hearings for at least 14 days since Coney Barrett has met with Trump last week and she should self quarantine for 2 weeks.

I emailed Chuck Schumer to ask him to press this issue and fight for it.

We shall see.

Amy already had Covid-19 in the summer.

And now:

[quote] As the Supreme Court nominee, Barrett is now tested daily and most recently had a negative coronavirus test Friday morning, according to deputy White House press secretary Judd Deere.

Amy wants this seat bad. You know she would be more than willing to Zoom into the hearings.

Gurl, you better work Chuck Schumer!

Please email Chuckles Schumer to let him know that the entire Senate needs to self quarantine for the next 2 weeks before anything can happen with this Judge and her confirmation. Postpone bitches.

What exactly did they say? I read that she had it months ago.

Chuckles Schumer has a torrid affair with Amy Coney Barrett during a quiet Shabbas weekend in 2004. He still carries a torch for her. He won't do anything to stop this bitch.

R99, King Covid may intervene.

Her entire time on the SCOTUS will be tainted by the carnage of that nomination ceremony, esp. if Trump or anyone else dies. In no small part because she said she tested poz earlier this year. Is she Covid Amy? Who knows...

by Anonymousreply 112October 4, 2020 2:48 AM

I hope someone asks her, “Do you believe life begins at conception?”.

Does her pussay smell like lavender?

The fucking bitch SPEAKS IN TONGUES...

At least one person is speaking out:

"It has taken decades of therapy and hard work to overcome the intense feelings of shame and fear of damnation that she said marked her childhood. The Christian faith group, based in South Bend, Indiana, dominated every aspect of her early life, she said."
