On Saturday, as many expected, President Trump announced that Judge Amy Coney Barrett was his nomination to fill the empty seat on the Supreme Court. On the grounds of her intellect and abilities, Barrett is a superb choice. All who have worked with her, regardless of their political leanings, admire her, both professionally and personally. Barrett’s also an excellent choice because the Democrats are incapable of refraining from attacking her on grounds that make the Democrats look awful. Trump must have known that the leftists’ compulsions would be their Achilles’ heels.
Barrett’s confirmation is a done deal because Sen. Mitch McConnell has been able to wrangle the votes he needs for Senate consent. We also know that there is no practical or constitutional reason for the Senate not to schedule a speedy hearing and an equally swift vote.
If the Democrats were sane, they would go on the record objecting to Barrett’s (to them) bizarre fealty to the Constitution. They would also complain, although they have no constitutional basis for doing so, that the nomination and hearing should have waited until after the election. They should then accept with some semblance of dignity what is a fait accompli and acknowledge that, under the rules governing our system for almost 230 years, you win some and you lose some.
But Democrats are not sane. They cannot stop themselves from the type of personal destruction tried to use against Justice Kavanaugh. Because Barrett is a model of rectitude, rape claims are out. Instead, they are alleging that she is a racist, a bad mother, and a religious fanatic. This post is a compilation of some of the Democrats’ most insane rants.
Bewilderingly, Democrats claim that Barrett is a racist because she adopted two children from Haiti.

She is a witch. Burn her.
They fall into the trap every time.
She is a witch. Burn her.
She’s made of wood?
She turned me into a newt.
Yes, yes. And if she floats she is made of wood. And wood burns....Burn her!
Attacking her for adopting 2 Haitian kids is a smart tactic.
/S
The Atlantic will run a long article telling us that she boils babies alive and puts poison in nursing home food. The nytimes will say how her nomination is proof of racism.
The empty taking heads on TV will say how awful it was of her to bring those black kids to this evil, racist country from that enlightened, wonderful, modern paradise Haiti.
Why put her and her family through this hearing? Fun????
I predict that CNN will be the first to break the story that she stomps on baby bunnies with golf shoes...just like Trump.
I have not heard if McConnell plans to hold hearings. He does not have to do that and it seems he has the votes for confirmation.
The only reason to hold hearings is that it could hurt democRATs with suburban female never Trumpers. I think McConnell should ask Amy what she wants.
I do not understand why they constantly hold these nomination hearings in an insane asylum. Seems like a better venue could be chosen.
Bkmk
Democrats object to white people adopting black babies because they see it as missed opportunities for abortions.
A Gingrich?
When we closed the asylums, the lunatics hit the streets and became the Democratic Party!
“I have not heard if McConnell plans to hold hearings. He does not have to do that and it seems he has the votes for confirmation.”
it’s standard operating procedure in the U.S. Senate to hold hearings in the Judiciary Committee for all Federal Judge nominees ... the rules of said hearings, including their scheduling, length and other procedural issues is up to the Committee Chair, presumably in consultation with GOP colleagues on the committee and perhaps the Senate Majority leader for important issues like SCOTUS nominations ...

Wonder what Mia Farrow Angelina Jolie would say?
Very small rocks.
