Amy Coney Barrett's America

[Issa]

"So that’s that then. The confirmation hearings are over and it is almost inevitable that Amy Coney Barrett will be confirmed as a supreme court justice before the November election. Barrett will shift the supreme court from a 5-4 conservative majority to a 6-3 super-majority, a move that could fundamentally reshape America. Goodbye civil rights, hello Gilead.

You’ve got to hand it to the Republicans really; they get things done. They don’t care about being called hypocrites. They don’t care about ignoring Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish that she not be replaced until after the election. They don’t care about common decency. They don’t care about democracy. They just care about power – and they will do whatever it takes to get it."

Goodbye civil rights: Amy Coney Barrett's America is a terrifying place | Arwa Mahdawi

With her confirmation all but inevitable, how bad will Barrett be? It’s hard to say for sure – but it doesn’t look good

No, Republicans and conservatives don’t care about any of that.

let's pack the court later....ya didn't wanna listen and wait till the new president is elected. Don't cry later.

FDR, with the House and Senate being Democratic, tried to pack the court to gain an advantage and public opinion, strongly Democrats, stopped him. Lots of things you can think of doing but lots of things may fail to happen because public opinion is against packing the court. Everything has a reaction, good or bad.

I'm 100% sure that most Americans against appointing a supreme court judge days from a major election. I'm also certain that most of Americans would like to pack the court to balance it and not leave it 6-3 as cons want to.

With the exception of roberts who is a gadfly, conservative black robes are strict constructionists who do not make up law that isnt there

in the past liberals have achieved socisl change through activist lib judges that they could not pass through congress

that will be far more difficult now

I'm sorry, but "Ruth's dying wish" is not policy, nor how the process works.

You would be wrong, only 38% of Americans are in favor of Trump replacing Ginsberg, not anywhere near your 100% sure number. Replacing a Supreme Court justice been done many times during an election year and given the chance, the Democrats would have done the same.

Only 32% of Americans are in favor of packing the Supreme Court, so on both counts you are wrong. Nice to know your ideas are a minority opinion. Got anything else you are sure about?

If she gave a shit about the Constitution, she would refuse to be considered citing the Republicans' actions on Garland.

Republican actions were perfectly consistent with the Constitution.

In 2020 not 2016. Where in the Constitution does it say that the Senate majority leader gets to decide if the nominee gets consideration?

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A slim 51% majority of Americans support federal judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the U.S. Supreme Court seat left vacant by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death last month. At the same time, 46% of U.S. adults do not want Barrett to be seated, and 3% do not yet have an opinion of her nomination.

The Constitution gives the current senate the right to confirm or reject the nominee. The Republicans are in control of the Senate and the Presidency and we damn well know that if the situation were reversed that the Democrats would do the exact same thing and I’m in full agreement. Each party feels that their ideas on how to run the country are superior to the other party. So, if you deep down inside felt America would be better off with appointing a nominee from your side of the aisle, then you have an obligation to get that nominee before the Senate. Polling on fair or not fair is useless and a stupid way to run a country.
