" ... This open court seat is the most important development since, well, the last seat opened. Why? The Supreme Court has too much power. Congress has failed to legislate as it should, and the Supreme Court has turned into a super-legislature.
Some people think this open seat has caused mayhem because the Supreme Court has become too political.
Certainly, the Supreme Court can appear political when handling cases, but it has less to do with the nine justices being overtly partisan and more to do with the fact that they often handle overtly political topics that are meant for the legislature.
This point of view is not new. During the hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which were a catastrophe, many made the same observation. Kim Holmes, the executive vice president of the Heritage Foundation, wrote, “Ever since at least the 1960s (and frankly even before) we have increasingly allowed the Supreme Court to decide controversial issues we have been unwilling to solve legislatively.”..."

Supreme Court battles escalate because the judiciary legislates
If she had adopted white kids, she would be racist. She is now careless and needs to scrutinized on how she has traumatized the kids.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.

Bill Maher calls her a f—-king nut! Didn’t see that one coming. His main objection seems to be that she’s a devout Catholic.
Maher rips Barrett, Trump's expected Supreme Court pick: 'She's a f---ing nut'

Well, I knew a few months ago, when he actually had the moment of lucidity speaking out against the Dems for all the lockdowns, that they would get to him and he would go back to spewing this type of disgusting vitriol. I said then, yeah this is great but he is still one of them and an overall POS.

The point about the congress not acting is incorrect imo.
Under the Constitution if the legislature cannot pass something then that is that, for the time being.
Under our current derangement it is ignored and the supremes make something up or the looney occupying the White House at any given time makes something up.
Which is why I am all for more conservative justices

My sense is that she knee-jerks in favor of the Govt no matter the context.
Pro-lockdown (takes contrary position to Barr on this), pro-forced vaccines, relaxed 4A standards for entry. She has favored the Govt in nearly every single Civil Rights case she's paneled. Same for uncompensated takings. She also sided with the city of Chicago when it prohibited pro-life activists from exercising their free speech rights (1A). She also has a tendency to favor the large corporation.
While I readily concede she would be 100x better than whoever Biden pulled out of his rear, at the same time, I just dont think she is the deep-throated conservative we seek. I have begun to fear she might be another John Roberts, which would be the choke of the century if so. She is more Roberts than Bork. I want to Bork them.
1A Dameion Perkins v. Milwaukee County, No. 18-3710 (7th Cir. 2019)
takings Christel Van Dyke v. Village of Alsip, No. 20-1041 (7th Cir. 2020)
Pro-life march Price v. Chicago, No. 17-2196 (7th Cir. 2019)
Vaccines. Here she touted Jacobson, the decision that green-lit forced vaccines and carved out an emergency exception to Constitutional protection in "public health" or "emergency" cases used to justify forced sterilizations and detention camps https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000174-572b-d057-a37d-7fef3ec60000

The question I want to know is will she do the right thing when Flynn's case gets there because we sure as hell can't trust Roberts.

My hope would be that the entire Court would dump on the actions by the trial court judge and subsequent erroneous attempt to finely narrow the scope of the appeal by the Circuit Court

It sounds like Barrett has a tendency to back law enforcement like most conservatives have. She might take it a further than I would. However, in the current climate of mindless cop-hatred dominating our cities (the main places in the country that have substantial from problems), I would much rather have a judge who's overly deferential than one who follows the current mob of freaks running our major cities.
But if the process was squeaky clean, one of the most partisan Democrats in Washington would be voting for her, right?
Barret has 7 kids, 2 of whom were adopted from Haiti
I already feel bad for all those children, especially for the latter two, for what the Democrats are going to put them through
I know what this is about. Transracial adoption is somewhat controversial on the Left. White liberals and moderate blacks tended to be all for it. No reason not to be racially discriminatory about whom you adopt, and I suspect that for some, there's a bit of a virtue signaling opportunity. However, black radicals didn't like it, because it tended to impact the black child's cultural identity. He didn't act "culturally black." He acted white like his parents, so they were hostile to it. They viewed that as "traumatic." Nowadays, I'm not sure where the woke white Left is. They're probably leaning toward the black radicals.

I would broaden it from cops to the Govt. And from there to simply authoritarian power generally. That is what I was trying to show above, a pattern from the spectrum of cases cited. Examples -- takings and lockdown orders (large corps too). I know she was born in the South but when I lived on the East Coast I found this to be a general trait of people from the Northeast. They were much more accepting of federal govt power than were Americans who, let's say, grew up west of the Mississippi River. When these type of cases matriculate up, Barrett is going to side with the Court liberals (and Roberts too probably, lol). On this, I am willing to make a small wager -- although it may take 10 years to settle the bet (by which time I will probably have forgotten it).
Do elected representatives still swear to uphold the constitution?

Blumenthal is known for his Stolen Valor scandal, where he lied and claimed he served in Vietnam, while in reality he stayed in the USA, safe and sound.
Doesn't matter, more mush from the whips. The Democrats, the media soulmates, and thousands of leftists nuts are going to make complete fools of themselves in the confirmation hearing, much to the benefit of Republicans in general, and President Trump in particular.
Probably why he picked Barrette - he knew she was the one most likely to get them to act crazy and claw at the Supreme Court door. Plus HICO's (Harpies in Cosplay Outfits), where a bunch of over-educated white broads dress up in costume and sway exactly zero voters.

Plenty of time to confirm Barrette between now and the election - Apex Predator will make it happen.
Isn't that racist?

Only honkies can be racist, so no.
American Democrat blacks would rather children in Haiti live in poverty and die in misery, rather than be adopted by a loving couple in the USA and given a wonderful home, if the parents are white. Their obsession about racial culture and blood lines would make them a great fit for working in a Ministry of Racial Purity.

My Lori Lightfoot loving Democrat sister-in-law adopted 2 black girls. She's one of 7 Irish girls. I'm going to have to let her know the trouble she is causing for the girls.
