Oh look. It's this video again.

The same damn source with the same damn claims all day long. In the anti-ACB corner we've got... Barnes. And that's it.

Here is the answer on the lockdowns:

Lockdowns: Illinois GOP vs Pritzker

The Governor of Illinois issued a blanket lockdown on basically everything but left exemptions for religious gatherings and a few other things. The state republican party wanted to have rallies/meetings above 50 people and so they sued saying that it's not fair that they shouldn't be allowed to meet when churches could do so.

ACB and the other two justices said this was a horseshit argument since the 1A gives religious institutions special protections and insulation from the government. And it was.

The Illinois GOP appealed to the SCOTUS but Kavanaugh (who oversees that Circuit) denied the motion without comment. https://www.wsj.com/articles/supreme-court-rejects-bid-by-illinois-gop-to-avoid-limits-on-gatherings-11593906161

Spez: I would have liked a 100% "Fuck these lockdowns" attitude from her, but it wasn't the gloom and doom scenario that some have been asserting lately about how she's pro-lockdown.

She exercised judicial restraint. The question before her was "Is a political party eligible for the same exemptions and protections as a religious institution?" and she said "No"

I worry she could be female Roberts, but that's still a HUGE upgrade from RBG. I support our president's decision if he picks her. I prefer Lagoa myself.

The lockdown ruling was a little bit more nuanced than I thought. Even Gorsuch voted for applying the civil rights act to transgender people *rolls eyes.

I'd like to have another Thomas on the court, but I don't see anyone who is qualified and fits the profile that'll get someone confirmed in time.

I really hope Trump is going to pull a switch at the last minute.

Enough. This is Q stuff all over again. I had hoped we got rid of this before we came over here from Reddit.

What bothers me more than the individual pick is the unwritten rule that the pick had to be a woman.

I TRUST TRUMP. He's brought us this far, and he's the guy who will be ultimately responsible for this appointment. I think he knows a helluva alot more than (almost?) anybody here about Barrett or the rest of them.

I trust Trump, but who is he trusting? The same people that brought recommended Sessions and Barr I'm sure.

if ACB is Mitch's choice as reported

then it's not so hard to picture that if/when the election gets decided at the SCOTUS

JR and ACB join the remaining liberal 3 for a 5-4 ruling in favor of Biden..... allowing the left/msm to crow about how "bipartisan" it was

you know the deep state isn't letting him win if they have a way to stop him

and Mitch is most definitely part of the deep state.... and she's his choice

I do believe Sessions appointed Durham 2017. I do believe Amy isn’t the pick we need.

By a former Vet, Former IC, former elected official, former signals intelligence.

But don’t get distracted, I’m saying I’m proof your original perception is incorrect.
