Quote: Evenbob
"From guns and sexual assault on campus to health care and abortion rights, Barrett has shown herself to be a conservative jurist and legal thinker in her rulings and academic writings. The left see's Barrett as a socially conservative mirror image of Scalia, famous for his conservative approach to constitutional interpretation and passionate dissents from the high court's abortion- and gay-rights rulings. Barrett, like Scalia, is seen as an "originalist" or "textualist." It's a philosophy that looks strictly at the text of the Constitution or statute and tries to apply original intention from the framers."

She seems like the perfect pick.
I don't understand your dislike
of her.

Read her decisions and legal scholarship

RGB gets replaced on SCOTUS with Trump Nominee and Breyer doesn't make it 4 more years. SCOTUS goes 7-2 Conservative/Strict Constitutional Interpretation....
Biden will have stumbled through answers at several awkward moments during the Presidential Debates and look like a teetering old man when asked to perform as a functioning human in the public spotlight.

I don't get any of what you're saying. She seems over qualified. Even the entire law staff at Notre Dame has endorsed her. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Well, all major media outlets are reporting that Amy Coney Barrett is the pick

She basically rubber stamps anything the government does - including violating civil liberties

I am sitting this election out

Trump is a great businessman but he has surrounded himself with swamp creatures giving him horrible advice

Really appreciate your honesty Ace
Thank you very much
These are the Ace posts I like
Your honest intelligent thoughts rather then just a link
Thanks again

Limbag must be disappointed. I heard him giggling about hoping it would be a Hispanic judge from Florida.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
