She has stated over and over that the role of a justice is not to make policy. It is simply to apply the law, as already written. She is right.

Like the part of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act that was invalidated by the Citizens United decision?
Like when the Supreme Court struck down most of the Voting Rights Act?
Like when the Supreme Court gave the election to George Bush?

Funny how the conservatives on the Court always "interpret" the Constitution in support of their desired policies.

Oh, please! And liberals don’t interpret in their favor??

That's not what the Supreme Court is for. Does she know that?

Wait: you want the Supreme Court to make policy? Why?

Yes. Democrats want the SC to make policy. THEIR policy. They seem unable to grasp that policy is not the role of the SC.

Uh, Trump said out loud that he wants the SC to confirm his presidency in a contested (or "contested") election.


Au contraire mon freir, she can only hear herself in her echo chamber of lunacy. She hears no one else.
Can you even hear yourself?

Same with court packing. It is only the right talking about it and bringing it up.

People on the left have repeatedly talked about court packing.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) signaled openness on Wednesday to expanding the Supreme Court amid what she called a “crisis of confidence” created by Republicans in the nation's high court.

Bloomberg reported that Harris, asked in Nashua, N.H., whether she would support adding as many as four justices to the bench, said she was "open" to the conversation.

"I’m open to this conversation about increasing the number of people on the United States Supreme Court,” the 2020 presidential candidate said, according to Bloomberg.

Harris also expressed openness to limiting how many justices one president can nominate and applying term limits to justices, according to the news outlet.

And, as for religious freedom........ "The dogma lives loudly within you. And that's of concern." - Dianne Feinstein

This is great. I hope they restructure the Court. Republicans have been packing the court with nut jobs for too long.

To apply it, you must be able to interpret it. To interpret it, you must be knowledgeable of it. To provide an opinion, you should at a minimum have credibility in doing each of those things. She doesn’t.

Kamala is a better suited scotus.

Oh wait - you were serious?? Barrett is a serious Constitutional scholar.

But she’s barely been a lawyer.

She has only been a judge for 3 years?! That is crazy to be a Supreme Court judge with only 3 years experience! Why are they not making that in itself more of an issue???

Who you got? 😏

She has a blended family? Are some of the children hers from a previous marriage and some of them her husbands from a previous marriage?

DP. Yeah, as far as I know, she doesn't have a blended family.

Why did PP call it a blended family? hmm...

Because she adopted kids and PP misused the term.

Yeah, it's been pointed out that PP misused the term. We knew that. What we don't know is *why* PP chose to use that term. I'm guessing that PP, like ACB, thinks its ok to use racial slurs against POC, as long as they do it with a smile on their face so nobody's feelings are hurt.

WTF?? The term “blended family” was misused. There was nothing nefarious intended. But trust a nutty liberal to twist it into something it’s not.

I think it's pretty clear - securing access to white babies by outlawing contraceptives. Allowing states to swoop in and declare women unfit so that their children can be taken from them, banning gay marriage, banning gay adoption....

Good grief. The lunacy lives loudly within you.

I’m not sure why her family is mentioned at all. The Republican Senators are slobbering all over her about it and it should be immaterial to her opinions and credentials.

They should absolutely be focused on the merits of the appointment, above all her thin judicial experience and seemingly low-impact scholarly record. I can find only one pub that is reasonably well cited.

Ironic that Blumenthal is asking questions about missing documents (church and work) when he lied about going to Vietnam.

Have they brought up the fact she belongs to that cult yet and is a handmaiden?

No, he said he wants nine justices in place in case the SC has to decide the election, rather than have it go 4-4. But your version makes for some great outrage, amirite?

Curiously, eight justices in place and 4-4 was just fine and dandy for his last election.
