After seeing the push here for Amy Coney/Barett...
Are some Freepers against our Second Amendment, perhaps because of Metropolitan lifestyles? Is it feminism? What's up with that?I don't think that's it.
More likely, some are hoping to gain a nominating edge by appealing to Dem identity politics. "She's a woman and a mother..."
I don't think that works very well, because Dems aren't consistent and have no problems with hypocrisy. It's all about what they can whip up the crowd with for the coming elections, now and in 2020.

Assuming she is right on abortion and gun rights and all other aspects of the constitution...I am totally for her not because she is a woman and Catholic, but because her womanhood and Catholic faith will send the leftists into another apoplectic seizure and they will freak the F put so bad it will drive another 5 million voters away from the Rats and at least half will join the MAGA army.

Thanks! I think you're right about some of them. At least one or two of them, though, might be coming from the radical left, or even batting for the other side, if you know what I mean. ;-)

Yep, just ask Clarence Thomas.
