I'm not arguing against her credentials here though I'm very concerned that there's literally nothing published on her views specific to the Second Amendment. She's also a recent Federal Bench appointee with little experience, also concerning.

My points that I've argued across multiple threads here on FR are specific to:

1. PDJT and Republicans shouldn't get caught up in identity politics here. Don't nominate her because she's a woman, if she gets the nomination it should be simply because she's qualified, period. That means being a strict constructionist and originalist.

2. The argument appointing her would be "shrewd." As I pointed out above, at least four "shrewd" appointments made by Republican Presidents have been IMO complete disasters for the reasons I stated.

3. Appointing her because of the "politics of it" (making your political opponents look bad for opposing her) is also the exact wrong reason to appoint her. Actually, not just her, ANYONE who'd be appointed for the "politics of it."

PDJT has the Senate and if necessary should press Mitch McConnell to exercise the nuclear option to get the next USSC Appointee through. The Democrats opened that door with Harry Reid. No more playing nice with the Democrats, ram it down their sorry ass throats that we own the USSC now and there are two things they can do about it: NOTHING and LIKE IT.

Nothing against Barrett here at all. I'm simply arguing against Identity Politics which is the product of the Democrat Party and I sincerely hope my President, PDJT doesn't play that game.
