In September 2017, The New York Times reported that Barrett was a member of a small, tightly knit Charismatic Christian group called People of Praise;[68] members of the group swear a life-long oath to one another and are assigned a personal advisor (a "head" or "handmaiden") that gives direction on important personal decisions.
This is incredibly troubling and I'm a Catholic and registered Republican (but not a Trump supporter).
Go after her religion in the hearings- see how it works for you.
Republicans have no qualms about going after Muslim’s religion. Are you pointing out the double standard?
I don’t know what you are talking about- but as a person of faith I respect the faiths of others, unless it’s totally made up to use drugs, like Rasta.
Listen to you ragging about another religion. Shame on you.
All religions were made up for one thing or another, to control people, to control women, for politics. If you disagree, then you must think that religions outside of your own faith were as validly inspired as you believe yours to be. Do you believe that?

What’s with the GOP obsession with Catholics on the court?
Sorry, I was actually raised Catholic although I consider myself an atheist. I was reading about her and this was what was emphasized in the article
Oh sorry I didn’t mean you were obsessed. I meant the people who keep picking these psychotic nominees.
And her freakish adherence to religion is about the only thing about her.
Would you ever use the above statement to refer to a Muslim or a Jew?
If they are in a cult? Yes. I have a sibling who is in a Buddhist cult.

He needs to let the next President decide the nomination. If he doesn't, it will tear this country apart.
What makes you think McConnell cares about this country? He has no core beliefs beyond holding on to power.
Please/ he loves this country deeply.
You forgot the /s for sarcasm.
McConnell is out for one thing and one thing only, his personal enrichment and keeping power. This is what many people who know him personally will tell you.

His reaction was moving. Trump didn’t want this; he liked RBG in spite of the nasty things she said about him. And some of this things were really nasty. But Trump liked her; he truly did.
Trump doesn't like anyone except for Ivanka. I'm sorry, why would you believe he does?
DP. I actually think he might have liked her. He appears to have a love-hate relationship with strong women.
Mostly just hate from what I can see.

All Trump has to do is be fairly close in few key states and he basically wins the presidency. History will repeat it self. Another election 2000.
Just gently reminding that Harry Reid started this game. Cocaine Mitch tried to earn him but he wouldnt listen. You want someone to blame, someone to tar and feather...
Bring on the blood feud! Don't do the right thing! Just hurt the other side as much as you can! MAGA! We did it! We made America great again!
Do the right thing? Lol tell that to the businesses that burned down while Democrats stood by criticising the police.
Do the right thing. Lol.
Okay. As long as you tell it to the families of people who died of covid while Gopers stood by criticizing masks and social distancing policies.

If Democrats were smart they can use this. Trump will try to make the SC right wing for decades. But Dems have a chance at getting back the presidency and the Senate. With both houses they can do so many things. Bye bye filibuster for legislation. Hello long needed changes to strengthen our social safety net. Hello, expanded Supreme Court because the current court is extremist right wing BS that is slowly dismantling our democracy (money is speech? Wtf. Gerrymandering is fine? Wtf.).
But they won't because they are terrible at messaging and have based their strategy on attracting Republicans.
This isn't fair. There are many people who don't have enough stability in their life to vote. People who are truly struggling with life don't have the bandwidth to care about politics. I've been there. The game is rigged.
Thank you. This is why democracy is SO Dangerous. Elections are inherently anti- progressive.
History is anti-progressive. No matter what your governing system, there will be forces both for and against change and they always will battle it out.

It restores balance, fairness and the institutional legitimacy of the Court and Senate Frankly, 5-4 decisions are bad for the country.
That's the healing move though. The what's good for the goose is good for the gander move is expanding the Court since there are no rules any more.
That's just foolishness. The only thing worse than a 5:4 decision is a 5:5 decision.
No
You know they could, I don't remember the word, compromise?, and go 6-4 for binding precedent. 5-5 votes maintain the status quo and aren't binding.
