Amy Coney Barrett was supposed to be the payoff for conservatives. She was our gal, right? The “ghost” of Justice Scalia, haunting the hallowed halls of the Supreme Court as a brilliant originalist, a serious Catholic jurist, a mother of seven, and a Trump appointee who’d help lock down a 6-3 conservative Court and finally stop the left from using judges as a weapon.
That was the sales pitch.
But that’s not what happened. Now, years later, a whole slew of America First voters are wondering what the hell happened.
What exactly did we get with ABC, besides a “yes woman” for Justice John Roberts?
When the big America First cases hit the High Court, the kind of cases that define whether the Court is willing to confront the machine that’s twisted American politics into a pretzel, Ms. Barrett seemed to end up right where we didn’t want her: sitting next to waffler and Deep State crony Chief Justice John Roberts and the three left-wing justices.
We were onto ACB’s establishment pattern from the jump. At the time Trump was deciding on his next pick, we published a piece that rallied hard for a much better pick. Judge Bridget Bade.
Revolver:
In Bridget Bade, President Trump has the opportunity to nominate a true daughter of the key swing state of Arizona, born, raised and educated in the Grand Canyon State and embodying its traditional Southwestern values of law, order, liberty, and sovereignty on the border. Not only does that fit perfectly with the current state of the campaign, it significantly lightens the lift of getting the Supreme Court vacancy filled quickly. The same Senate we have now already confirmed Bade to her current seat on the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit by a vote of 78-21 — more Democrat votes for than against — and courted almost none of the controversy Barrett and others on the shortlist did in their confirmations.
Here’s the kicker: Judge Bade is not a compromise choice. She’s not some softie “establishment GOP type” liable to go the way of David Souter or John Paul Stevens after a few trips to opera at the Kennedy Center. While extraordinarily well qualified — cum laude from Arizona State Law, clerk for eminent Reagan-appointed Judge Edith Jones of the Fifth Circuit, DOJ Honors during Bill Barr’s first stint as Attorney General, and elected member of the prestigious American Law Institute — she’s no ivory tower academic. Bade is not another “conservative legal movement” darling, haunting the pages of law reviews with elegant solutions to novel questions of administrative law. She’s not even a member of the Federalist Society.
What Judge Bade is is nothing but the genuine article: a no-nonsense, read-it-how-its-written, law and order jurist in the proudest tradition of the old Southwest, and in the very same spirit of President Trump’s America First campaign.
You don’t have to take our word for it. Bade’s solidness is written indelibly in her record from the earliest days of her career.
And speaking of ACB patterns, they showed up again this week in two major cases that hit directly at the heart of the Trump America First agenda.
In Watson v. Republican National Committee, the Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted even if they arrive after. Barrett wrote the 5-4 majority opinion, joined by Roberts and the Court’s three liberal justices.
Amy let us down, yet again.
But she wasn’t done…
Then came the birthright citizenship ruling, where the Court rejected President Trump’s effort to end automatic citizenship for children born in the US to illegal aliens or temporary visitors. Roberts wrote the majority, and Barrett co-signed, along with the Court’s liberal wing.
Amy let us down, yet again.
So, for conservatives who thought Barrett was going to come in like the ghost of Scalia, this was a gut-punch of a reality check.
ACB isn’t Scalia’s successor. She’s more like Roberts’ long-lost twin, at least when the case hits the core of the America First movement.
And that’s why this new viral clip about Barrett’s background and her very intense establishment orbit is hitting a nerve with a lot of people who are looking to connect the dots on ACB.
Of course, the X user hasn’t magically uncovered a signed memo proving that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney secretly installed Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court to undermine Trump… that’s not how DC works.
But after you look at all the connections, relationships, and who ACB is closest to, you’ll realize you’re not crazy to notice there’s a pattern.
Barrett assisted George W. Bush’s legal team during the 2000 Florida recount while she was a young lawyer. McConnell’s former chief of staff said McConnell called Trump the night Ruth Bader Ginsburg died and told him, “You’ve got to nominate Amy Coney Barrett.” Barrett’s reported $2 million book deal came through Javelin, a literary agency tied to Bush and Rumsfeld. Her father worked for Shell Oil for nearly three decades. And just last month, Barrett appeared at the George W. Bush Presidential Center to discuss her book.
But there’s a lot more dots, which is why this clip is worth watching.
Johnny St. Pete:
WOW… NOW ITS ALL STARTING TO MAKE SENSE.
What if I told you that Amy Coney Barrett WORKED ON GEORGE BUSH’S 2000 LEGAL TEAM?
What if I told you that as a young attorney she assisted during the Florida 2000 recount on the Bush side?
What if I told you on the night of Justice Ginsburg’s death Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell called Trump to say “YOU HAVE TO NOMINATE BARRETT”?
What if I told you his #2 John Thune was a key supporter in getting her confirmed to SCOTUS & appeared to take a large lead with press?
Why was it so important for them to SQUEEZE her in 8 days before the election? It’s almost if they knew Trump wasn’t gonna win 2020.
What if I Told you she got a $2 MILLION dollar book deal in 2021? What if I told you her literary agents were Javelin?
What if I told you that Javelin was founded by former Bush speechwriter Matt Latimer & Keith Urbahn, who was DONALD RUMSFELD’S CHIEF OF STAFF?
What if I told you her dad was an attorney for SHELL OIL that specialized for 29 years in Gulf offshore drilling contracts?
Who else did offshore oil drilling in those years? Bush’s Zapata PIONEERED IT & Cheney’s Haliburton which provided support services to oil rigs.
Now… what if I told you that Justice Amy Coney Barrett did an event for her book at the George W. Bush Presidential Center EARLY LAST MONTH on May 4th?
What I told you not only was Bush in attendance but she ADMITS she met and spoke with him prior?
Now what if told you her same literary agents at Javelin are JAMES COMEY’S book agents as well?
So Thune who was selected and endorsed by Bush & Cheney personally with events & fundraisers … who used to duck hunt with Cheney often… and who has been holding up “The Save America Act” was pivotal in pushing Barrett’s confirmation.
He also happened to succeed Mitch McConnell as Senate Leader … and the number #2 for the vote was TEXAS JOHN CORNYN?
Does anyone still think all these Thune/Bush Cheney connections and obstacles to Trump regarding fulfilling the MAGA agenda we voted for are a coincidence?
Who is REALLY leading the GOP? Does The Boss have shadow elements working against him?
Watch til the end because it gets even more unbelievable as it goes on but it’s ALL TRUE.
Nobody orbits George W. Bush and the GOP establishment more than Amy Coney Barrett.
And that establishment has always operated by controlling the Swamp pipeline. There was a time when they decided who got promoted, vouched for, and packaged as a conservative hero. Just look at the Heritage Foundation and who’s involved. Why are they helping to dictate who should be on the Supreme Court?
Yes, Barrett has voted with conservatives plenty of times. We’re not claiming every vote she casts is liberal. What we are noticing is that when it’s a big “America First” case, for the most part, she’s nowhere to be found.
DC Draino:
The data is out and it looks like MAGA was right about Justice Amy Coney Barrett
She’s a backstabber to the people who appointed her
The records show her agreeing with liberal justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan 82% of the time during her 2nd term, up from 39% in her 1st
She’s also the conservative ‘least likely to support Trump’ in cases that involve the president himself
What an ungrateful, Ivory Tower weakling
A justice can vote the right way on a dozen predictable issues and still fail the base when the issue is election integrity, executive power, birthright citizenship, or the survival of the country as a sovereign nation.
And that’s why who ACB orbits matters and might explain a lot more than we think.

Thanx for putting the word out on her
she’s a snake in the grass.
She did attend Rhodes College, a PCUSA affiliated college.
It was liberal when I was a kid in the 70’s and 80’s.
We made fun of it for their hokie ideas.
It used to be called Southwestern at Memphis, so we poked fun of them by saying “Southwestern, Southwestern, the school by the zoo! Where the girls are girls and the boys are too!”
Overton Park Zoo?..............
“She’s a snake in the grass.”
She’s a pain in the ass.............
Other than swallow another pair of TUMS, following that by twiddling our thumbs, there is not very much that can now be done about it.
This article would hammer every nail around the closing coffin of the GOPe, if not for the aggressive push backs of MAGA and President Trump
Judge Bridget Bade wouldn’t have been much better:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_S._Bade
“Notable rulings:
On March 30, 2021, Bade and Milan Smith held in a 2-1 ruling that California Governor Gavin Newsom’s restrictions on private gatherings, which limit indoor and outdoor gatherings to three households at a time, are constitutional.”
No more women on the court. They vote feelings instead of law and not a single woman on the court has even approached being conservative. Never again.
Shes a woman. They live in the world of emotions and feelings. Thts the only thing you can count on.
Yes, and the oldest flamingo has a band with the old OPZ on it, not the new Memphis Zoo band. I know my zoo history.
A female Roberts. One who has her cap set on becoming the first female chief justice, imo.
However, AI says:
Under Article II, the President may nominate any person to be Chief Justice —
—a sitting Associate Justice, or
—someone completely outside the Court (e.g., a lower‑court judge, attorney, academic).
There is no requirement that the Chief Justice come from within the Court.
Then, the Senate must confirm the nominee.
She was Hannity pick. Sean Hannity is a pandering idiot. Overturning Roe was not important and helped Democrats. The right to life movement wanted courts to go beyond overturning Roe, and now that Roe is gone, Dems are picking up governorships, attorneys general and house seats because of Roe. This court decision was a catastrophe.
hah!
Sandra Day O'Conner II. She is already a disaster, but she'll get even worse as time goes by.
Starts at the C. Goes to the U Next to the N And finishes at the T. All the while skipping past the C O MMI E. BUT it made it past the commie owners of her imported children.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s voting record is predominantly conservative, with empirical data showing her voting for conservative outcomes in roughly 60% to 76% of ideologically divided cases.
So I think the jury is still out :)
She’s a WEAK LINK! NO MORE GIRLY MEN OR GIRLS!! WEAKLINGS!
Ketanji will be Chief Justice before AMY.
