I think they will follow the Kavanaugh playbook and track down anybody she might have dated in high school or college. They will try to find out if she was a "good [Catholic] girl" or if they can find a boy to say she had premarital sex, or "fooled around," or behaved in any way opposite to religious living.

Dirty. But I can see the Left doing that.

They will go after how she adopted two children. If done wrong, they will say she is a human trafficker like Roberts.

“I predict the Dems will argue that since Trump is under investigation for impeachment he should not be able to put forward another SC nominee until impeachment investigation/proceedings have concluded.”

Huh? Investigation for impeachment? Who did Trump impeach?

"The next confirmation hearing will be worse. There is more at stake for the Dems. Trump and hs/our nominee will prevail."

My take on this?
* Roberts is a squish, they got something on him.
* So at best the Court is 4, 4, 1 and Kavanaugh is untested so even that is a stretch.
* I have been saying this since even Justice Kavanaugh got on the court, and no one would respond, it's is looking like my 4-4-1 take on things isn't off.
* So we get A.C.Barrett and we then become 5,3,1.
* "LS" had a great thread on twitter of where he thinks it will end up, go read it.
* Breyer is 80, the Wise Latina diabetes, is a problem and Thomas wants to retire and go RV-ing.

If PDJT gets re-elected (I think MI is a gonner, it is going to be hard to pull off) he has the possibility of getting up to 3 more.

No wonder their are apoplectic, they might be Progressive Loons, but even they can see what is coming over the horizon...

They went after Roy Moore for dating small-town high school girls when he came back from Vietnam, so why not go after Barrett when she was young, too?

Moore had gone straight from high school to West Point to Vietnam to law school, and missed out on dating in his twenties during the 1960s. I'd bet that most women his age in his small town were married when he returned, so he looked younger. The left turned this into a deviance because Moore was a righteous religious man, which is why he went into the MPs in the first place.

Don't think they won't try to use Barrett's religion as a weapon against her, too. They used Romney's reputation against him, Kavanaugh's against him, even Palin's against her.

They will be ruthless and unscrupulous against Barrett, and with no shame in doing so.

Justice Ginsburg will be lauded no end by the Left until the day she dies. The very next day they will heap scorn upon her by the truckload.

Please excuse my clumsy grammar. I can see how you could be confused.

My prediction: they will talk nonstop about Trump’s illegitimacy and the need to counteract his picks by expanding the court the next time the dems have control. They know they won’t be able to block another Trump nominee but they will condition the public to accept court packing.

Do you not understand the highly “ethical” conduct of democrappers?

Count on them to provide creative Ginsbergs long after the honorable justice has assumed room temp. Why might Justus Roberts approved her work from home status?

I predict there will be no mechanism to verify the elder Justus writings will be her own—just that of law clerks or local DC city council members for many years after she succumbs. It is also safe to predict that the hoodwinked repubs will quite readily permit the hoodwinking to keep the base pacified.

It might have been nice if this Lindsey had been around for the past 15 years.

I’m really liking him now. I wish I coulda liked him longer...

Maybe. It is a tough secret to keep. Requires significant discipline, and a dedicated team.

Just barely possible.

Ironically, Bill Clinton was under DoJ investigation over Whitewater when he nominated Ruth Bader Ginsberg in June 1993.

It would be a bold move to claim Trump can't make a nomination while under investigation to replace a Justice who was nominated by a President under investigation.

These children are from Haiti, I assume the Rats don’t want to open any investigation on adoptions in Haiti (Clinton Foundation, I’m looking at you).

She also has a special needs child, let’s see what the Rats can do with this.

I think ugly is the right word for what’s coming if Judge Barret is the nominee. Sex as a negative only works against men; with a woman it backfires. Insulting a religon popular with 1/4 of the population, and particularly Latinos is not helpful either. It will be extremism this time and a roll out of the “War on Women” once more, but the height of the furor will be nothing we have ever seen. The violence of the protests, not their theme, will be the strategy.

Yes the Dems have a real problem on their hands now. A good portion of Dem voters are getting fed up but an even larger segment are demanding a guillotine be set up on the White House lawn. If they cater to one, they lose the other and they need both.

I get feeling that Graham is not going to let that crap go on under his leadership. Thank goodness.

Primary question is if she, Barrett, is willing to be run through the chipper shredder that the rats have created for just this purpose.
