I'd rather see a Protestant on the Supreme Court, one who doesn't have adopted third-world kids and potential sympathy for illegal immigrants, and certainly has a more established set of legal opinions. Amy has little to nothing in terms of established legal opinions and her allegiance to a cultish group like People of Praise suggest weak-mindedness which may have her flipping her opinions to get approval by DC liberals.

Raymond Kethledge would be good, but I'd settle for Amul Thapar despite his conversion to Catholicism and the potential for further creating a Supreme Court which is entirely Catholic or Jewish.

Agreed, it is odd that the Court has no Protestants, despite them being over 50% of the population.

Also, I would like to see a Justice that doesn't have a law degree from an Ivy League School like Yale, Columbia, or Harvard. But University of Kansas or something.

The Ivies have never been more alumni driven and anti-merit for a long time in their admissions process. The longer Supremes are only from Ivies, the longer it becomes a precedent.

Once again, adopting American kids is impossibe. Only foreign kids (no paperwork) will do

Agreed. Anyone who adopts 3rd world kids instead of American kids is a cuck (or cuckess?) who cannot be trusted.

Or maybe they just have a big heart. You win the internet for stupid comment if the day.

The problem is not with someone adopting children. Her adoptions may reveal risk that emotional appeals - such as showing a cute crying child from, let's say, Mexico - would cause her to disregard case law and Constitutional principles and make decisions which side with further illegal immigration.

Also, there's the vanity / social credit side of it. Adopting a white kid that's indistinguishable from two white parents don't really let your Facebook friends know that you adopted and are a good person.

Or, even a light skin minority from the urban core could have been a lapse in judgment from one of the parents and then their friends would assign all the social credit to the spouse that accepted their co-equal partner (and love of their life's) half breed bastard they brought into the relationship after one night of poor judgment.

That is a STRETCH. I mean, if we are deciding between 2 conservatives and its a close decision, maybe that could be a deciding factor. But compared to another RBG or Sotomayor she's a slam dunk.

Why not adopt an American child? Where the kid comes from has no bearing on the person having a big heart or not. If there are children in need of adoption in your own country why would you adopt from around the world?

Strange - Ihave NEVER heard the argument "adopting children is bad" until now.The idea that "adoption is bad" is a very leftist thought...

Do you know what it's like to adopt American kids? News Flash.. you can't

Please explain that to the four white children my wife and I have adopted. Two different gene pools but they look like full siblings and resemble my wife and I enough that we are rarely asked if they are adopted. They came from within our state.

The data shows otherwise.

The State Department releases statistics on foreign adoptions yearly. In Fiscal Year 2018, there were 4,059 foreign adoptions into the United States according to the Annual Report on Intercountry Adoption which tracks this. The Adoption Network estimates there are 135,000 children adopted yearly. Your statement that "you can't adopt American kids" is false. If you want to argue that it is unreasonably difficult to adopt American children, that would be a stronger argument and one few people would argue with.

Based on your name-calling and one or two sentence replies, I suspect you don't have the critical thinking skills to really formulate an argument to begin with.

My sympathies exactly, this lady is a no go given how much of an issue immigration is. We're already being literally overrun by socialists.

Eh... no thanks to that personally. We need more generational Americans on the SCOTUS who truly understand the Constitution and fewer foreigners.
