This should be an immediate disqualification. Do not want a Supreme Court justice who has such little respect for civil liberties.

All I ask that you read the case on your own. The opinion or even the summary. Make your own decision rather than relying on these concern troll articles.

She didn't write the opinion, and the opinion is not an expression of support of lockdowns. The IL Republicans crafted an incredibly weak argument specific only to churches that does not pass constitutional muster. A 3 judge panel (with two Trump appointees) unanimously agreed that the IL Republicans had no argument to stand on.

You can read it at the link below. Note that Judge Wood wrote the opinion, not Barrett. Then make your judgement.

I'd love to see one opinion that shows ACB is not a strict constitutionalist. I've actually written about one of her opinions for a legal audience, so I have a lot more trust in her.

What's your defense for the other 10+ cases that Barnes references in his tweet thread? This woman makes RBG look like a libertarian.

I'd have to check, but Barnes has misrepresented this case pretty heavily to criticize ACB, and he's not a disinterested party (recall, he has cases in federal court.)

Do you have a link to the tweet? I don't have time to search through Barnes' twitter

I didn't criticize ACB, I literally just asked for the Barnes tweet so I can see the argument against her.

In other words, sir.... This is a Wendy's.

Always trust the Scalia clerk.

He doesn't hire moderates. I'd be more concerned with Gorsuch and Kavenaugh than Coney Barrett, both of whom clerked for Kennedy.

See that's your problem. You are no better than a Democrat in that you want someone else to tell you what to think.

MAGA people are better than that.

Fuck ACB! The left loves her, that's all you need to know. Judge Lagoa please. Latina immigrant from Cuba that hates communists.

If the left loves Amy so much why did most of them vote against her (55-43)???

Lagoa sailed through senate confirmation 80-15 with plenty of D support. She's a Jeb appointed shill.

I am feeling it. Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a John Roberts wolf in sheep's clothing. Go with the better pick, Mr. President. Please select Judge Lagoa. Plus I would really love to see the Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee go after a Hispanic female whose parents were escaped from Castro's Cuba. That will really sit well with Hispanic voters this November.

Judge Lagoa would be weak on birthright citizenship and DACA.

SixteenBeatsAOne 1 point ago +1 / -0

. . . but the Lagoa pick would bolster Hispanic voters nationwide. And it would certainly help Pres. Trump in the swing-state of Florida.

2
synd1050 2 points ago +2 / -0

no. I don't want any pandering. Pandering is not a good strategy and pandering is what is causing so much violence on the streets. Hispanics want law and order also like whites; you have to remember that half of the Hispanics also identify as whites. Lagoa is of Cuban heritage like many Floridians Hispanics. We need more white votes than Hispanic votes at the moment. We need someone who will fight against big businesses, big tech, affirmative action, and diversity quotas, birthright citizenship, mass immigration, and other conservative issues. People prefer strength than appeasement and this mostly applies to Hispanics.

If that is the criteria, then the best person to be named to replace Justice Ginsburg would be Sen. Josh Hawley.

synd1050 1 point ago +1 / -0

yeah. I don't know whether Hawley would want to become a judge now.

In Illinois. The people are so used to losing.

That they want you to wear a mask, and support the mass hysteria.

Honestly living here is like dying slowly. You do it once, and regret the whole time.

Mudlord, get out of there! I left many, many years ago, and couldn't be happier. You have no idea just how oppressed you are until you leave. Prayers for you Pede, it is a difficult place these day. :)

Her ruling basically said the 14th amendment doesn't exist. Incompetence.

At least at this stage of the pandemic, Jacobson takes off the table any general challenge to EO43 based on the Fourteenth Amendment’s protection of liberty.

As much as you probably don't want to hear it, it was most likely the correct decision considering the evidentiary record was incomplete.

Stickman's decision i vs Wolf in PA with a full record is very strong and further enhanced by denying the stay. This decision is super strong and will be supported by the SC...it is the decision to have going forward.

She is strong on 2A and Immigration and most likely Roe, and also she has suffered the slings and arrows of the media much more than most of the other judges on the short list.

People think the Donald doesn't get astro turfed, but it does. Anybody remember the wall to wall Mattis hype on T_D? This is basically the reason I don't trust the Amy Corny Barrett hype. Looks too much like astro turfing advertisements to me. Like I know all of you are into politics, but you don't really expect me to believe that thousands of you are on some random judge's dick? Color me skeptical.

We need a radical fighter for freedom and liberty. We need Thomas Jefferson on the court.

Keep out all invaders, smash the violent criminals, leave everyone else the fuck alone. How hard is it to be a politician???

Pick Bade, Lagoa or Rushing.

RenaissanceOfHope 1 point ago +4 / -3

If ACB gets picked, it’s time to fight the confirmation.

People of Praise believes in Opus Dei, and Opus Dei believes in the church bossing the citizens around. She will rule according to her religion and NOT the constitution.

Lagoa or Rushing could be decent choices, but I agree with the left in terms of ACB would be an absolute monster.

Rushing is the best.

Okay, I just don’t want same sex marriage, anti-discrimination protections in employment/housing, or transgender rights taken away.

I fully support religious objections on things like wedding cakes and the like. If they don’t want my business whenever I get married, I don’t take it personally but they may lose my revenue for that one time event.
