Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg

[Cheyenne Bodie]

Looks like news is coming down that the wheels are finally in motion.

President Donald Trump will nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a deeply conservative opponent of abortion rights, on Saturday to replace liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, multiple news outlets reported Friday evening.

Sources close to the president told The New York Times that Trump met with Barrett this week and was impressed by her.

Barrett, whom Trump appointed to the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in 2017, is widely viewed as an ideological heir to conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who Barrett clerked for in the late 1990s.

If confirmed, the 48-year-old judge would shift the ideological balance of the court sharply to the right, giving conservatives a 6-3 majority.
(...)

Republican leadership, led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, has vowed to vet, hold hearings for, and confirm Trump's nominee before Election Day, which is just 38 days away. The average Supreme Court nomination process takes about 70 days. Two Republican senators — Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine — have said they don't support a vote on the nominee before Inauguration Day.

With what little i know about Barrett...I can live with that. Of course I was ok with the Roberts pick and look how that turned out.

However ACB wrote an interesting 2A dissent that suggests she is solidly behind the 2A so I guess that's a chance we will have to take.

 

[P-Squared]

I truly hope that she, and her family, are prepared for the forthcoming shit show. It's going to be rough, but I want, and pray for her to stay the course.

 

[Jigstick]

I’d hit it

 

[W54/XM-388]

The good news is that she recently just went through a full on mud slinging, so she is probably well prepared.

I don’t know the Senate rules here. If the Dems start to Cavanaugh her can Lindsey Graham just shut down the hearing and go to a vote?

There is nothing in the constitution that says they have to hold a hearing. If they had the guts, they would just go straight to a vote. That way, they cut out all of the nonsense and grandstanding from the Marxist side of the aisle.

 

[Samuel Whittemore]

Excellent! Watch the Dem's faces writhe and whine, contort, teeth gnash --as they pound their rattles on the high chair table.
That's the fun part... Here's a little animation I added some text to just for the occasion..

 

[seanh]

He should have nominated himself

Can he nominate more than one person and let the Senate pick? If so, that would be too funny... he and Amy. If he loses the election he gets the confirmation.

Probably couldn't happen... Still funny though

 

[Nik H]

I like the tactic.

The Dems now have to defend a two pronged attack. SCOTUS and the Presidential election.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[SilentStalkr]

Told y’all it’d be Friday afternoon.

It is interesting that Doug Jones (D- Alabama) has come out saying he will vote against any SCTOUS nominee.

Last time I was in Bham (actually Vestavia, but whatever) all I saw were Doug Jones yard signs, so I felt like he was ahead at that point.

He is in a big battle for his seat. I believe he has been behind in the most recent polls but this pretty much seals his fate IMHO. Welcome to the Senate Tommy Tubberville.

Perhaps some of you guys in the Heart Of Dixie could comment if I am wrong. Other dems in tight races better be careful

 

[Snipe260]

Jones ain’t nothin but a cum gurgling cocksocker!

 

[High H2o]

I wonder how they are going to try to Kavanaugh her...

 

[AirborneOkie]

Ready for them to get her in!

Let him dig his own grave. Tubs, or any non-liberal, for the win.

Apparently the first thing those vile pos are going to go after are if she legally adopted 2 of her kids from Haiti.

Jones says he won't vote. Typical for his lame ass. He is gone in November. Homeless.

 

[army_eod]

No hearing. Just vote.

 

[Bigfatcock]

I wonder who they’ll find to say she raped them?

 

[357Max]

Somewhere right now an operative is showing pictures of young boys (he may remember) to a Catholic priest.
You know the one that's been hearing Judge Barrett's confessions.

That's probably giving them to much credit. More likely they'll just make some BS up!

There are slimy strategist on both sides of the aisle. Some on the right would no doubt like to see Her Kavanaughed to drive suburban woman away from the DemonicRats.

Fuck that, grow a pair, vote on Her asap!

Absolutely has to happen before the election!! It may be key to deciding the election outcome & our last hope for 2A should Trump not prevail.

Interesting to see what marginal rhinos do.

Mitt Romney surprisingly said he was onboard.
Now he wont need to kill himself

It's funny how the Regressive Left is all about women and blacks until they're Conservative.

I believe that kind of stuff is what gave them Roberts explaining to them how they could shove Obamacare down America's throat even though the piece of legislature he was supposed to rule on that day was unconstitutional, and illegal as hell - it mattered not; but hey, if he could save himself a scandal who cares if the country slides into socialism. If anything with adoptions isn't kosher it is actually better it comes out before than to have quivering Nancy the Queen of Icecream have another arrow of blackmail in her "quiver".

Exactly, give 'em some of their own medicine, pull a Harry Reid on them, introduce her, then immediately do a vocal vote and half way through it declare "The Ayes have it!" , do a swearing in and close down the day's business. Would be more fun to watch the left side of the Senate that day then witnessing when they come to clean the monkey house in the zoo with a high pressured water hose. I believe it would not be discernible from a pack of howler monkeys that day in any shape, or form - not audibly, not visibly. Ahhh, progressive decorum, or the lack thereof.LOL

 

[Sniperwannabee]

live stream for appointment

A lot of chatter that Sarah Palin has told Murkowski that if she dose not do the right thing then she is going to run against her and take her seat.

I believe we are in for more riots and looting as diversions from the results of that investigation, or maybe they'll have Biden perform some trained tricks to produce a "....squirrel!" for their Pavlov's voters, ...nothing to see here, ..move along! Pay no attention to the Biden behind the former iron curtain!

 

[W54/XM-388]

We should probably all consider calling our senators and urge them to vote and confirm Amy Barrett to the SC immediately.

When it comes to the 2A, I think it would be harder to find a judge up for nomination that understands the constitution better.

If you look up and read her dissent in Kanter v. Barr she was pretty forceful in championing the 2A as a FIRST CLASS right, actually supporting it as a "Natural Right" far more than quite a lot of the members on this side do.

I think she will be probably the best thing for the 2A in a long time.

 

[TexPatriot]

Fifty years ago she molested me in the 70's when I was in high school. She came to my house to speak to me about my alleged LSD and mushroom addiction and ended up annoying me.

I think she was on Ambien.

If any other victims are brave enough to come forward, contact Chuck Schumer @ chuckschumersucsdics.gov

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Trump STARTED his list of things she would support with... the Second Amendment. That was not by accident.

[Slash0311]

Just read a quote from Schumer on Fox News. He was saying that ACB would destroy everything RBG had "built"... How the hell can a conservative do that? Isn't a jurist on any court supposed to only judge cases on the merit?

His statement should be used to beat him over the head until he's unconscious. It goes to show they don't care about cases but rather changing things by decisions since they know they can't get the votes.

 

[SonicBurlap]

Here in Colorado Gardner is up for re-election, we are totally in luck because he has just awoken from his slumber and realized that he actually is supposed to be a conservative running for re-election in the Republican party, so I'm sure he'll vote for her as he has claimed he'll do - just to make sure he doesn't have to go job hunting. Every six years we can expect him to do something conservative; when he was a representative, not a senator Santa Claus came every two years to drop a conservative deed by Cory Gardner into our lap. In any case a SCOTUS appointment confirmation of Amy Barrett is on my wish list from Santa Gardner this year, although I would never vote for Hickenlooper anyway, what he did to Colorado is reminiscent of what Germany did to Poland in WWII.

Tell the senate,

AMY CONEY BARRETT

 

[varano14]

If the republicans actually follow through and pull this off it will restore some of my faith in them being able to get stuff done when it really matter.

Had the opportunity to hear speak at my Lawschool a year ago and she is as constitutional as we are ever ganna get. People presser her with questions clearly looking for a “political” answer. She politely referred them to the constitution with ever answer.

Heads were exploding.... it was one of the few enjoyable days in that place

She has two adopted black kids so they can say she is racist. What a wise pick.

Left beginning to twist that in ...3,...2, ...1, ...

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Left beginning to twist that in ...3,...2, ...1, ...

They already are... saying she only adopted them because it's what rich, paternalistic white people do when they want to tame the savages... Really.

Bring it on... it will open up a great discussion of the billions in stolen money the Clinton Foundation collected for Haiti and the many kids sold, traded, abducted into human trafficking. Great discussion to have!

How many of them were on Epstein island? Just wondering...

A buddy of mine says one of the remaining older guys should resign and Trump get one more on there. That's not going to happen; but, I was amazed at the suggestion. We all know Alito hates DC, Thomas is getting old, and Souter is 82 I believe. So, whoever is next President will likley get TWO justices. Maybe 3. If Trump wins again, conservatives gain in the Senate so we don't have to worry about the murCOWskies and the collins (she'll be defeated) and the other 2-3 liberals, then I say those 3 need a good originalist to replace them. Especially Thomas and Alito.

Thomas is certain to retire if Trump wins. Maybe not right off... but I give it 18 months.

IMHO Breyer is not going to stick around if he loses every decision and is in the minority. Not to mention he isn’t buying green bananas.

Potentially, Trump could have three more
Picks. To make it 6 of 9.... Court packing... good luck.

Nov.3 is critical!!!
