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.
Lets get something straight, Barrett is not liked by liberals which makes us conservatives feel all gushy and stuff. Seriously, shes 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. Im sure shes a nice person but then Im 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 its 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 whats happening.
Diving deeper shows the whole state media hedging towards Barrett while dumping on Lagoa. Theres a reason for that and well 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 shes 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.
Amys a shiny object to that duplicitous culture posing as the conservative end of a self-imposed Swamp Aristocracy. Lets 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 Matthews tingle up his leg at the thought of Barrett and her apparent regard for the 1905 Jacobson decision (more on this below).
To Barretts 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, shes good, we like her, we really do, at least today we do.
Lets see how Barrett dances:
Um-kay.
So whats 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 cant 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.
Lets get a glimpse of Barretts 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 wheres the conservative values? They are likely there somewhere but they dont 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?
Amys been on the federal bench for three years. Shes 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. Ill give Amy a pass on her dance performance before that snake pit.
But overall, Id say Amy, you got three years of federal judgeship under your belt, youre 48 years old, come back in 10 years and show us your sword after we finish taking out Satans 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.
Thats 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 64, 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 dont back down)
Barbara is Cuban-American who is second generation of parents who fled Cuba, fled communism, shes fully anti-communist all the way which means BLM/Antifa arent finding a sweet spot in Barbaras world.
Barbara's been solidly anti-lockdown which we can infer flows from her parents 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 shes 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.
Not to belabor this but there’s something worth sharing that gives insight about assessing judicial appointments.
But first, I can imagine President Trump narrowing his choices down and say he comes to Barrett and Lagoa. There could be others I suppose but let’s say he narrows it down to Barrett and Lagoa.
So POTUS is there looking over their records, he’s discussing them with some of his amazing White House legal team members, he sees that both are incredibly qualified and will meet his standard of applying the law, not modifying the law.
So he looks at both their CVs, their positions, their publications, their presentations, their ability to manage clerks and be good justices and so on.
And I imagine he’s doing a lot of reading, and he sees they are in general equal and wonderful and meet all his criteria, And then he thinks of something no one else has thought and that is what about their families? What about their families living in DC for the rest of their lives?
So he sees Barbara lives down there in beautiful Miami and he sees Amy Barrett lives in Indiana and he wants to know how they feel about transplanting to DC for the rest of their lives.
So he turns to VP Mike Pence who was Governor of Indiana and he asks, “Ever get homesick for Indiana?” And the VP says, “Yes, absolutely.” So POTUS asks him what would make his homesickness go away and VP Pence says, “A dream job, a job having a great duty to the American people.” And POTUS says, “A dream job to uphold the Constitution and protect the freedoms of Americans?” And VP says “Absolutely.”
The above imagining might be way off but it wouldn’t surprise me if POTUS considered such matters given all other things being equal.
But to wrap it up as to Barbara Lagoa’s publications and writings. I know meaning I KNOW they are above substantial by a lot. No, they are not even close to ‘thin’.
Because in the body text at the start of this thread, it mentions “she served as an editor to the prestigious Columbia Law Review.”
Wow, actually Big Wow.
You see, if you get published in the Columbia Law Review, you are at the top of the heap. For Americans that are not cognizant of the field of law, think of baseball, think of Hall of Fame.
When you publish in the Columbia Law Review, you are considered Hall of Fame material.
When you serve as an ‘editor’ of that prestigious journal, you are inducted into the Hall of Fame as a baseball analogy to the field of law.
Now Amy Barrett is no lightweight wither. She was a Professor of Law at Notre Dame and by definition she was widely published as a result of that position. So there’s no doubt she has a legal mind on par with Barbara Lagoa.
So the more I think about it, it’s not so much about who is best qualified in terms of applying law and preserving the Constitution, it’s maybe more about who will have the more prominent historical face, the better quality impact on American history. That’s a tough one, that’s POTUS’s call.

Look at “Club for Growth” at the bottom of the article. Putting millions into promoting her? Brings open borders and China to mind.
You're arguing the chicken vs. the egg.
The right to be armed is the right to protect your own life. Without the right to protect your own life you don't really have any other rights. Take away the right to be armed and you're just a serf, a serf that can't defend the unborn.
Mao Zedong made the comment that "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun". Ignoring the fact that he was a communist monster, he was correct in what he said. No guns=no self determination despite what the marxist media would tell you.
So while you argue in circles about which one is more important consider that if your second amendment rights go away the rest of the rights the American people have essentially become suggestions, including the right of the unborn to life.
Fox News has deteriorated over the past several years to the point their conservative followers have moved on to other outlets. Tucker, Hannity, and a very few others still maintain substantial followings.
Your Fox link goes nowhere for me. Here’s all I could find:
“Conservative political groups including Judicial Action Network and Club for Growth have vowed to spend millions on promoting Trumps nominee, Politico reported.”
It’s not possible to see what you’re pointing out using the above blurb.
Your advocacy of Barbara Lagoa was just rejected at the highest level.
President Trump has nominated Amy Coney Barrett to be the next Supreme Court Justice.
I believe that she will do many good things for the Right to Life, the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment.
