It’s astounding to consider that many of the people showing up to D.C. to pay homage to her as if she’s a saint, are there b/c of the right to kill babies.
Blows my mind.
And that is why they are so insane about this election. Disgusting.

I was going to bump this thread to the top simply to preserve the excellent write up for later reference. But now I have a question for you, as well:

You don’t think a pudgy Latina is eye candy?

ACB is a lousy stock on the NYSE, but a great pick for the Supreme Court.

Welcome UBER-NOOB. Did you sign up here solely to promote Lagoa? IMHO, she has too many questionable connections that have been pointed out. The last thing we need is a new justice that will slip-slide away to the Left once on the bench.

I’m for Amy Coney Barrett or Britt Grant (who you conveniently left out of your write up).

He should appoint Biden so Congress will finally investigate his rape accusations.

“Personally, I’m hoping for Barbara Lagoa:

1. Solidly conservative; 2. Only 52, so should have a long career ahead of her; 3. Was already heavily vetted for her 11th Circuit nomination; 4. Was fairly recently confirmed to the 11th Circuit by an 80-15 vote....”
****************************************
Confirmed 80-15? That’s token opposition in this era. The true Constitutionalists have opposing votes in the 40s. The many DemocRATS who voted to confirm her know some things about her that we don’t.

>> A Latina firewall from the Rats...

Kinda sucks this is part of the calculus, but it’s about survival — whatever it takes to crush the Rats.

They say age makes a difference. You want someone young so they will have longer years in the Supreme Court:

Bridget Bade, 54
Barbara Lagoa 52
Martha Pacold, 41
Sarah Pitlyk, 43
Alison Jones Rushing, 38
Kate Todd, 45
Amy Coney Barrett, 48
Allison Eid, 55
Joan Larsen 51
Diane Sykes, 62
Margaret Ryan, 56

Amy is 48 and a southerner

She is not from Indiana merely lives there

She’s Crescent City native

She’s rock solid

And comely. And 48.

Amen

And Barrett is far prettier

Not that it matters

I want her mind and soul commitment

Not another worm like Roberts

Rushing clerked for Justice Thomas so she would be great. Unfortunately, she is only 38 years old.

Bridget Sheldon Bade is a candidate of the McCain/Flake wing of the Arizona Republican Party. She would be another Sandra Day O’Connor.

It's hard for me to pick among the list without knowing about their case loads and opinions.

I've seen ACB speak when a law professor and she seemed thoughtful although she was mostly talking about Scalia's judicial philosophy and less about her own. I'm hoping for a straight shooter, not someone who will be too outcome focused and not another GOP nominee who will go wobbly. I at least think she recognizes that GOP nominees tend to be more diverse in philosophy and temperament (Thomas vs Souter) than Dem nominees.

There are a few I'd prefer are not chosen.

A female Thomas would be even better.

I think Trump’s pick will be one of the new ones on the updated list. It was no coincidence that he released the list right before she died. He knew her days were numbered.

It is hard to trust anyone on a list, looking at the record of the GOP and SCOTUS picks. I want someone who is not afraid of being hated by the seeming liberal majority of the country. I also think two issues that are immensely important are the Commerce Clause (which has been expanded by the Court to mean anything Congress wants, they can do) and immigration & borders. We are near the point of no-return in terms of the invasion, assuming we haven’t passed it.

“Unfortunately, she is only 38 years old.”

Well, if she’s like Thomas, then being “only” 38 for a lifetime gig might not be a bad thing.

I’d like to know how many if any of them have been on the Council for Foreign Relations.

I prefer Lagoa. She has seen communism and knows it’s horrors.
