It is so entertaining watching these poor liberal schlubs try to discredit ACB. They wouldn’t last five minutes in a debate against her.

I agree that she is smart woman, however, they fact that you support her doesn’t make you smart.

I find her repellent. A really bad person. Worse than Kavanaugh and that's saying something.

So much extremism here from the left. It would be frightening if it wasn’t so amusing.

I know right, poor women dying of abortions is our jam! Bring on the popcorn!

Your hyperbole and outright lies are not making the point you think they are. Posts like yours are the reason no one takes you seriously.

I was predisposed to at least like her even if I don't agree with her judicial point of view, but I am heartily sick and tired of Saint Amy.

She can't express and opinion on whether the President has the absolute authority to pardon HIMSELF? Ben Sasse asks her a Constitutional law softball and she flails around? "Forgotten" disclosures about her record keep trickling out? She was also a part of the Bush recount? Come on.

She's a bought and paid for Federalist Society stooge. These hearings are an embarrassment and an insult to the public's intelligence.

I am sure pp is a white male, they are the only ones happy about this.

Wow, you REALLY need to get out more. I’m the PP and a pro-choice woman. I take justices at their word when they swear to be impartial interpreters of the law.

I found it really distasteful that she was unaware that the constitution sets the date for voting for elections. But considering Thom Tillis said Election Day was November 11, and nobody corrected him, maybe the COVID was frying everyone’s brains...

Really? That's your big takeaway from this? Here's something that will blow your mind. The law is written in books so that we don't have to memorize it and can consult it when we have to analyze a particular issue.

You would be saying exactly the same thing about anyone Trump nominated, period. Nothing new under the sun.

And it’s pretty remarkable that she didn’t have to consult *any* books or notes - for three days straight.

Is there any evidence in her record that indicates she would be any good at debating? I will try my hand at a moot court against her. We write our own briefs - no law clerks, and she argues as an appellate lawyer in front of a panel chosen by the ABA. She's never even tried a case.

Why? Seriously. Did you take Trump at his word when he swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States? Aside from the fact that Barrett is not yet a justice, what would make you take any and all proposed justices “at their word when they swear to be impartial interpreters of the law”? I’m struck by you willingness to take this way beyond your assertions about Barrett to, apparently, anyone nominated, or at least to anyone sworn in.

Nope. While I think Kavanaugh and Gorsuch to some extent are the same they both had lengthy judicial records and Gorsuch actually worked at the best appellate firm in arguably the entire country before being appointed to the 10th Circuit. Kavanaugh was too political to ever be appointed tot eh federal bench and his temperament at his hearings soured me on him, but he has experience. Barrett has none of that - a short tenure at a law firm that merged with Baker Botts and then Notre Dame. She's the Sarah Palin of the judiciary. Sandra Day O'Connor she is not.

You mean it’s quite striking that there are actually people who disagree with you? Maybe step out of your very narrow bubble occasionally.

Pro-death of mother lifers? I don’t know many like you, thankfully. I will pray for your daughters.

PP here and I’m pro-choice. But I think it’s disgusting how Democrats like you have smeared this woman for her personal beliefs. And that you’re fear mongering that somehow she will attempt to overturn Roe. She won’t. And you know it.

No, Boris. I don’t believe you are pro-choice, no. It’s absolutely disgusting how you lie about her record and her public statements. She believes Roe and Griswald were wrongly decided. She doesn’t believe they are binding precedent. She is being put forward precisely because she has said this over and over again.

Um, I’m a lawyer from a middling law school ranked slightly higher than ND, and I know the president can’t unilaterally change the election date, and I’m a patent lawyer.

I have a bridge to sell you, supposed pro-choice woman.

Wow. That's a big nothingburger of a defense...because you can't defend her.
