No thank you. Per Wikipedia...

The New York Times reported that Barrett was a member of a small, tightly knit Christian group called People of Praise.[9] Members of this religious group swear a lifelong oath of loyalty to one another, and commit to be accountable to a personal advisor (either referred to as a "head" or a "handmaid").[9] The heads and handmaids instruct the member on important life decisions.[9] Legal scholars say that such an oath raises legitimate questions about the ability to serve as an independent and impartial judge.[9]

The People of Praise appear to be some kind of bizarre charasmatic renewal group whose beliefs are rooted in the Pentacostal movement. We do not need another hyper religious Justice on the Supreme Court, especially with Roe v. Wade and LGBT rights hanging by a thread. Trump will probably pick a woman to persuade liberals to back down, but this woman sounds extremely problematic.

Justice Barrett has a great ring to it. Not to mention, the reaction of Dianne Feinstein would be absolute gold.

Definitely not someone with such a passionate pro life set of work

Nobody willing to overturn Roe v Wade will make it through the nomination process.

Huh?? That’s a good thing.

Coney Barrett isn't Ivy League but is very, very smart.

I agree. She didn't adopt any Haitians though.

OK, add Stanford and Chicago to the list.

She will be the pick IMO if thomas retires/dies (black men of his age and body shape don't have long life expediencies).

Not necessarily. Three Dems, including Tim Kaine, voted for her for the 7th Circuit.

The 7th circuit and SCOTUS are not the same thing.

She is a rockstar. Totally support her nomination.

Liberal Democrat here, thinking that if we have to be stuck with any of the uber conservatives on Trump's list, maybe Amy Coney Barrett is the best choice? That she will vote to overturn Roe is a given, of course, but as a mother of 7, including a special needs child and two adopted kids from Haiti, there might be some empathy within her that could pay dividends over the other nominees?

I think it says something that every member of the Notre Dame Law School faculty signed a letter in support of her 7th Circuit nomination. I'm not sure that would happen with a lot of law professors at a lot of law schools.

Thoughts?
