Amy Coney Barrett

[Old Man Jingles]

But it's impact on people who were not born to the same comfortable and privileged upbringing she was could be the ones most negatively impacted by her hard line conservative views. If the GOP somehow holds onto the Senate this year and she votes to strike down the two most impactful cases on the horizon , healthcare and reproductive rights and given the increasing political power of women and minorities the GOP might just come to regret putting this woman on the bench under the circumstances surrounding her appointment.

Don't think that they could be hell to pay for the GOP? Well, consider take at look at something here. According to a survey done by the Kaiser Family Foundation which is about as nonpolitical as it gets only 29% of Americans approve an overturning of Roe vs. Wade.

Look up stare decisis ... Roe vs Wade is settled law and the SCOTUS will not overturn it or even hear the case.

It is the Legislatures responsibility to enact laws to address the above mentioned people ... not the SCOTUS.

That disgusting class warfare narrative that radical left wing neomarxist Democrats like yourself push is a pathetic attempt at avoiding discussion of her obvious qualification for the position.

Hurr durr, white privilege disqualifies her, we need some ghetto thug pimp as a supreme court justice, that's the only way to fix da system homie!

Seattle Hires Ex-Pimp as 'Street Czar’ As It Moves to Fire 100 Police Officers

Seattle hired a former pimp who was once convicted for prostitution-related charges to serve as the city’s "street czar" while at the same time moving forward with legislation to fire 100 police officers.

Probably one of your top ten stupid statements. And there is a lot of competition. I am sure you will out due yourself later tonight. And tomorrow. And the next day. Carry on.

I was thinking of David Souter who drifted to the liberal side towards the end of his career. Also Chief Justice Roberts has side with the liberal Justices many times in 5 to 4 decisions. Being appointed to life some Justices feel like they are no longer beholden to their political masters and can vote the law and consider societal implications. Consider Supreme Court decisions concerning slavery in the 1800's compared to civil rights cases in the 1960's. Do you propose that the Supreme Court reinstates slavery based on the Constitution in the 18th centaury? Or that we not allow women the right to vote?

Your every post indicates your complete ignorance of the USA Government and it's processes and the non-overlapping responsibilities of the three branches of the USA Government - Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

I'm assuming you never took a Civics class in your school years. It shows.

And in spite of the Republicans campaign promises they never enact any legislature. They know it is a political third rail.

I assume by your reply you do not have a rebuttal. Back on the weed are you?

Your response is the same thing we hear out of your party. No platform, no policy, no vision just fear and more fear. My next door neighbors son in law is a U.S. Congressman representing a district in another state in about his fifth term. I was watching him today speaking to another conservative political action committee. What I heard out of him in his fifth term was the same thing I've heard out of him in his first term . Be afraid, be very afraid. The party has no new initiatives just doing whatever it takes to keep the white majority in power. Well, given the shifting demographics of this nation that might not be as easy a thing to do as it has been in the past.

The more diverse this nation continues to become the harder it will be to govern using outdated policies while trying to turn the nation into a police state will contribute as much as any other factor to the breakup of the union.

And America in the 21st century having to choose between a pair of disco era presidential candidates will not help it in it's efforts to find it's place in the change world order.

Nope ... just amazed at the implicit ignorance in your posts.

"can vote the law and consider societal implications." shows your implicit ignorance of the structure within which the Justices of the SCOTUS are by oath are bound to make judgements.
The Legislature makes laws!

Slavery was outlawed with the passing of the 13th Amendment and so has the same legal holding as the Constitution and due to the elapsed time is considered 'settled law'.
The right of women to vote became law with the passing of the 19th Amendment.

Your proposed scenarios indicates a great ignorance of how the USA legal system works.

5 star pick for SCOTUS. I had hoped she would get the spot last time over Kavanaugh... but it worked out even better this way. What better example could you find to defend the lives of the unborn than a mom of 7. Her career aside she is a role model and hero already for the way she has lived her life.

Finished law? Hahahaha! SCOTUS just a few months ago had to block a southern state's obvious back door attempt to restrict abortion . access . And every time a state or federal legislature tries to pass some form of progressive legislation the GOP immediately challenges it .

 

[DriveInDriѵeOut]

Your response is the same thing we hear out of your party. No platform, no policy, no vision just fear and more fear.

Unlike ignorant anti American democrats, conservatives do not want judges that push a platform, policy, vision, or fear.

You have just displayed perfectly why liberals should not be able to pick judges. Carry on.

So the SCOTUS did their job as they were chartered to do.

Published June 29, 2020
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday struck down a Louisiana law that could have left the state with a single abortion clinic, dashing the hopes of conservatives who were counting on President Trump’s appointments to lead the court to sustain restrictions on abortion rights and, eventually, to overrule Roe v. Wade.

Right, with RBG dead and the complete ideological opposite taking her place there will almost certainly be more cleverly designed state laws designed to restrict and or ban abortion rights legislation being assembled by a bunch of old white men in a some state legislature somewhere. Roe vs. Wade will never truly be finished law until all possible means of by passing it are finally exhausted.

Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1856)

Scott v. Sandford: In a decision that later was nullified by the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, the Supreme Court held that former slaves did not have standing in federal courts because they lacked U.S. citizenship, even after they were freed.

Legislatures had their laws concerning.

Not true, old rat breath, you are correct in principle but not practice.
While Roe will never be re-litigated, enough judicial rulings beyond Roe may be overturned.
Read the original Roe decision, see how far that decision has moved.
You need to understand where to attack, the Court when to grant cert.

The woman is a liberal. 7 kids, 2 adopted (from Haiti). Secondly, she’s a woman. No woman is reversing Roe v. Wade. A dumb pick by an idiot President. She went to college and graduated. You right wingers hate education.
Both Kavanaugh and Gorsuch have voted liberal. They’ve both made right wingers and Trump look silly for picking them. America is a liberal country.
