Subject: How is the Supreme Court confirmation going to go?
ACB owned the democrats! She is many levels beyond them as an intellectual and in competence. Harris looked like a fool. ACB will be confirmed easily.

For goodness sake, if the ACA is unconstitutional bc the Ds did such a terrible job writing it and rushing to pass it, appellate judges and SCOTUS are just supposed to ignore that? How about Congress does their job and does it well in the first instance.
How about republicans actually repeal it and replace it? Instead of running to the court to legislate?

It is so discouraging to me to see groups on the left say, “We want diversity.” But let that diversity come from a woman who is on the political right, and their heads explode.
I find it so interesting that they have tried to use this focus (Barrett’s personal faith) to evaluate your professionalism as a judge. They are doing to you *exactly* what they say they despise.”
This is a great statement.. So true. And, glad that Blackburn pointed it out.
Where did any of the democratic senators questions her about her personal faith?
The only people talking about her faith were republicans.

BS. The issue is her stance on how she treats women, not that she’s a woman herself.
Just because she has a vagina doesn’t mean she couldn’t do great harm to women.

I don't think trying a case is a notch in the belt necessary for any appellate jurist. In fact, getting away from that dancing bear and stupid light show is a good idea. Anybody that has ever tried a case, even a "big one" in federal court, would probably tell you that.

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.
That's not what the Supreme Court is for. Does she know that?
We know that liberals don't believe this is what the court is for. PP is correct. You believe the court is there to write law.
According to Republicans, the SCOTUS is supposed to be full of activist judges to overturn laws they do not like. They do their typical projection by saying it is the liberals who want activist judges, but, as is usual with them, they accuse the other party of what they are the ones doing.
They want judges to push their activist, conservative agendas to overturn laws, even when doing so is not in keeping with what the majority of the American people actually want.
They want judges to do things like say corporations are the same as individuals.
The GOP are simply FOS.
Don't gaslight us. The reason it SEEMS like originalists are activists is because they have to be ACTIVE to fix all of the activism that subverted democratic majorities in the 1960s and 1070s with the liberal Warren and Burger courts. If the libs hadn't messed with it to start with and just passed amendments rather than "discovered rights" to change the Constitution by fiat, we wouldn't be here. There wouldn't even be a federalist society.

Liberals simply want to legislate from the bench. If this was a liberal nominee, they’d be fawning over her.
Why don't you tell everyone how de-segregation is legislating from the bench?
Since you appear to be obsessed with segregation and fear-mongering that it could ever return to the US, here’s what ACB had to say about Brown v Board of Education:
Brown, Barrett said under questioning from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is among a handful of cases considered "super precedents" in the legal community because "it is unthinkable it would be overturned."
Barrett said Brown "is precedent." In a previously written article, she said that "it is super precedent" and that because "people consider it to be on that very small list of things that are so agreed upon by everyone, calls for its overruling do not exist."
