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.

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.
