How is it that conservatives are snookered time and time again on judicial picks?
AMY CONEY BARRETT
Above is a photo of the ‘frontrunner’. Say what? Who is saying Barrett is the ‘frontrunner’? Why . . . fake state media, of course.
Let’s get something straight, Barrett is not liked by liberals which makes us conservatives feel all gushy and stuff. Seriously, she’s not a liberal pick but if liberals must, they will accept a deal with her as the pick.
But ask liberals if they will accept Barbara Lagoa and they will jump in their vans, show up at your home at 2 am with their BLM comrades and set your garden on fire. Seriously, they will fill their media about how Lagoa skins cute little puppies alive for her backyard barbecue roasts.
Yes, Amy Coney Barrett has an impressive background and has chalked up some great sounding achievements. I’m sure she’s a ‘nice person’ but then I’m sure Chief Justice John Roberts is also a ‘nice person’.
To see the real person, their true grit, we need to see a little about who their parents are and what influences are in the background.
To make a conservative assessment of Amy Coney Barrett, first start by observing who backs her, who promotes her. Conservatives will find the picture is not always good, especially in the last week.
Start with Newsweek, that bankrupt teetering sellout to liberal graft. Look at their recent headline:
"Amy Coney Barrett Clear Favorite Over Barbara Lagoa To Be Trump's Supreme Court Pick” According to … wait for it . . .
Betting website Oddschecker!
Uh-huh. Oddschecker. Well sunny beaches, guess it’s case closed.
BOZO BEZO WAPO is warming to Barrett. Look at their headline from September 20, 2020:
"Amy Coney Barrett, potential Supreme Court nominee, wrote influential ruling on campus sexual assault"
Yep, WAPO got her pegged as ‘influential’ on a favorite divisive gender narrative.
And it gets worse from there. Keep looking at recent headlines and it becomes clear what’s happening.
Diving deeper shows the whole state media hedging towards Barrett while dumping on Lagoa. There’s a reason for that and we’ll get some specifics, enough data to sway you to Barbara Lagoa in lieu of Amy Barrett.
But again, Barrett is not a bad pick on the surface, but she’s backed by the same groups that gave us John Roberts and Christopher Wray. The Federalist Society, a so-called conservative depot with address in that conservative bastion of conservativism known as the District of Corruption, is a social group established in 1999 by moderates skilled at dancing as conservatives. You get the picture. They pushed hard for Roberts, Wray, and others, and now they are pushing hard for Barrett. Um, not good.
Amy’s a shiny object to that duplicitous culture posing as the conservative end of a self-imposed Swamp Aristocracy. Let’s put it this way, if Billy Boy Gates the Psychopath had to settle for a Trump pick, he would be content with Barrett and in fact might even get a Chris Matthew’s tingle up his leg at the thought of Barrett and her apparent regard for the 1905 Jacobson decision (more on this below).
To Barrett’s credit, she holds well to some conservative values but it seems she will do so on Monday but then maybe reverse on Tuesday, and who the hell knows the rest of the week? No, she’s good, we like her, we really do, at least today we do.
Let’s see how Barrett dances:
Um-kay.
So what’s this about this Jacobson thing in 1905? Well, Amy has said the upcoming Bill Gates sponsored mandatory Mark of the Beast vaccine (I know, I know I appear as one of those Christian whackjobs who sees a devil behind every corner … Mark of the Beast yeah), Amy says the RFID-laced vaccine may be mandated based on Jacobson vs. Massachusetts (1905)
Uh-huh.
I love President Trump and so grateful he brought on Dr. Scott Atlas.
But …
POTUS can’t do an executive order to skirt SCOTUS when they go Jacobson on us.
And there we have young Amy affirming that Jacobson will be the cudgel. Ok, we see Amy carries a waffle iron in her purse.
Let’s get a glimpse of Barrett’s parental influences:
Michael was an attorney for Shell Oil, yay! Good solid corporate guy, and Linda was a stay-at-home mom (the most important job in life, seriously). Nothing wrong with these parents. But … where’s the conservative values? They are likely there somewhere but they don’t jump out at us. They did seem to do something most important and to their credit, they apparently instilled a belief in God in Amy, at least we hope so. But belief in God is a life-long learning process and believers are at various stages in the process. Where is Amy?
Amy’s been on the federal bench for three years. She’s waffled with her answers before the Senate Judiciary committee especially before Senator Diane Frankenstein of that decaying mass of Newsom climate change known as California. I’ll give Amy a pass on her dance performance before that snake pit.
But overall, I’d say Amy, you got three years of federal judgeship under your belt, you’re 48 years old, come back in 10 years and show us your sword after we finish taking out Satan’s army and their war against the innocents, abolishing their Planned Parenthood Industrial Complex, taking down their hell of child sacrifice and trafficking of fetal body parts for which a brave Christian is held hostage and faces 10 years of state prison in California for reporting such diabolical trade. Come back and pray with us, that God loves us when we love his creation and his creation is in the womb.
Now on to Barbara Lagoa. Or as Idi-Amin might say, "Baba Wagaga".
Appointed to Florida Supreme Court by Governor Ron DeSantis.
Justice Lagoa is a Cuban-American from Hialeah, Florida, where her parents instilled in her an appreciation of the freedoms enjoyed in the United States.
Columbia University School of Law in 1992, where she served as an editor to the prestigious Columbia Law Review
Justice Lagoa, 54 years old, recipient of numerous awards, was appointed as a U.S. Attorney in 2003 until her appointment to the bench in 2006. Over her 14 years on the appellate bench, Justice Lagoa has heard more than 11,000 cases and issued more than 470 written opinions.
That’s a lot of experience as a judge, lots.
Her background puts her conservative credentials in BIG BOLD COLORS.
Early in her career she was a pro bono lawyer who represented the Miami family of Elián González.
In April 2019, Lagoa wrote for the unanimous court when it found that Governor DeSantis acted within his authority by suspending Sheriff Scott Israel for his response to the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
In November 2019, Lagoa participated in oral arguments concerning an advisory opinion on whether the governor could require those felons whom voters had re-enfranchised through 2018 Florida Amendment 4 to pay fines before being allowed to vote.
On September 12, 2019, President Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Lagoa to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. (POTUS knew where this lady was going)
In July 2020, Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee wrote directly to Lagoa urging her to recuse herself from a challenge to felon disenfranchisement in Florida due to her earlier participation in a related matter on the Florida State Supreme Court. (Lagoa declined to recuse herself and her response was a doozy) In September 2020, Lagoa joined the majority when the en banc circuit, by a vote of 6–4, upheld the constitutionality of the law the Florida legislature had passed required re-enfranchised felons to pay all financial obligations, including fines, fees, and restitution before being allowed to vote. (This lady don’t back down)
Barbara is Cuban-American who is second generation of parents who fled Cuba, fled communism, she’s fully anti-communist all the way which means BLM/Antifa aren’t finding a sweet spot in Barbara’s world.
Barbara's been solidly anti-lockdown which we can infer flows from her parent’s values with lock-downs viewed as a horse of fascism by any other name. And Amy? Um … not so much, she could be for lock-downs on Tuesday but maybe by Friday she’s not for them but come Monday ,,,,
Like Amy Coney Barrett, Lagoa is a practicing Roman Catholic, who cites Catholic education as instilling "an abiding faith in God that has grounded me and sustained me through the highs and lows of life.” Good on both of them!
Justice Lagoa is the one who unsealed the Epstein records in Florida which is a big deal in fighting organized pedophilia. Justice Lagoa worked in tandem with the AG in the Virgin Islands in the whole matter of Epstein Island.
But Barbara would best be chosen for now with Amy coming up for the next go-round.
And then after that? Because there could very well be an after that.
Why there's Sidney Powell who would be an Icon either as a Supreme Court Justice or as an Attorney General following Bill Barr should he retire in POTUS's second term.
Future for justice looks bright!
Pile of dog crap
Barret is a great pick
Barbara is a great pick as well
Why do we still listen to fake news?
I heavily disagree! Lagoa was confirmed to the court by an 80 to 15 vote. Democrats love her, and we should have a problem with that. I would rather President Trump nominate a woman previously confirmed along party lines, and not one that Democrats previously crossed party lines to confirm. We don't need another turncoat Supreme.
Agreed.
You posted this once and it was removed......are you looking to get banned?
Hey dummy!
It was I as in MOI that requested it be pulled.
Because I hit the post bouton by mistake before it was ready.
Now go back to sleep.
Praise Jeebus, you're so much smarter than the rest of us.
We are all like little special-ed kids compared to you.
You should have a blog so you could teach us to be smart.
We all so stoopy.
Do you actually try to force your IQ lower or were you just born that way?
her nomination was reported out of committee by a vote of 18–4.[22] On November 19, 2019, the Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a vote of 80–15,[23] and on the next day, November 20, confirmed her nomination by a vote of 80–15
I don't post threads pretending to educate people
after insulting their intelligence. So there's that.
Show us your Captain Smarty Guy badge.
They love her? or are afraid to vote against her?
Good point but Barrett clerked for Scalia and the Democrat Senate hated Scalia whereas they ned Florida and knew Lagoa was popular there.
Still Barrett gathered 55 votes for confirmation so there were a group of Democrats that voted for her.
She also was voted in late 2017 when the Russia Hoax was in full swing and the Democrats were grouped a rabid pack of zombies.
Whereas Lagoa was confirmed in early 2017 soon after President Trump had taken office when everything was sunshine and roses.
Don’t fall for the vote tallies, Democrats hate both of them.
Oh my! Don’t tell me, your father failed to whip your behind when you stepped out of line?
See #13.
The vote tallies were all about the timeline in 2017.
If the times of their confirmations had been reversed, their vote tallies would have reversed as well.
Barbara Lagoa got 80 votes for confirmation - so what in the world makes you think the left would go nuclear over her, while accepting Barrett? Lagoa is the typical GOP “stealth” pick that always comes back to bite us in the butt. See: Warren Burger, David Souter, Anthony Kennedy, John Paul Steven...
#13.
She was confirmed in very early 2017 when Trump was in a honeymoon. All newly elected Presidents get a honeymoon but Trump’s was cut short by the Russia Hoax.
By the latter part of 2017, the Democrat Senate was in full attack mode on anything Trump. If Trump said he was for blue skies and sweet red roses, the Senate Democrats would have said he was a traitorous Russian puppet.
And along comes Amy and BAM!
I can tell you with absolute certainty, however, that either of them will make a better one than Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Joining what I see is a last minute GOP-e campaign to replace Barrett with Lagoa as the nominee?
I’ll pass... as I suspect most others would.
no link
I think they are both great picks. Trump sometimes does the opposite that he tends to let people believe.
My only thought, is if Barrett is questionable, why did she have 43 votes against her?
Trump is giving us the idea it will be Barrett, but I’m thinking he’s going to pull a switcheroo, and pick Lagoa.
I also think he’ll leak out the pick tomorrow morning.
