Amy Coney Barrett Is Not a Safe Pick for the Supreme Court.

Thank you.

:)

[Mrs. Don-o]

I read about 1/2 and am marking it to finish it, carefully, later. You’re right: Zmirak seems to be making a good case-— and, let me say, a courageous one.

[willk]

It is so sad how we on the right can’t trust anybody. Thank you McCain, Romney, Arnold S. the Bush’s and John Roberts.

Wasn’t Scalia Catholic?

IMO he was one of the best conservatives on the court.

[Mrs. Don-o]

That's a superficial reading of a rather careful and principled argument.

Scalia and Thomas ---in the "Catholic" category too, --- are cited by Zmirak as role models who understand the necessary difference between a jurist and a prelate.

[FreeReign]

Well, at least she will be an anti abortion hardliner.

[CincyRichieRich]

It seems when we are told one is a safe pick, the person turns out blackmailed or squishy.

So maybe go with one whom we are told is unsafe.

Perhaps the sources of such info are the problem.

[Flick Lives]

I believe the Left will go totally insane if control of the Supreme Court is at stake.

Will we be able to tell the difference from their current behavior?

[webstersII]

“Sounds like she would be an excellent heir of the Scalia tradition.”

Actually the article makes a good case for just the opposite.

Eff this goober Zmirak.

He retweeted Bill Kristol on Twitter.

[TBP]

Why don’t we look at her voting record as a judge?

[kiryandil]

Actually the article makes a good case for just the opposite.

Actually this front hole Zmirak retweeted Bill Kristol - which makes HIM a NeverTrump Front Hole.

[Clemenza]

How about no affirmative action female picks?

[Clemenza]

The first Catholic Chief Justice gave us Dred Scott.

[Dr. Sivana]

Was that your question that Mark Steyn answered in his current edition of “Mark’s Mailbox”?

[Clemenza]

America is not a Catholic country, so being a “practicing Catholic” is irrelevant. None of the Catholics on this site will tell you about how the Church held that “Americanism” was a sin: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americanism_(heresy)

[Clemenza]

America was founded on the principles of the Anglo-Scottish Enlightenment and our legal system is English common law. Any justice who has faith otherwise is not qualified.

[Ancesthntr]

“I would strongly prefer seeing a supreme court candidate who is an open supporter of the Second Amendment, an active gun owner, a carrier, maybe a competitive shooter, someone who has had a lifelong ownership, use, and respect of guns. Too many of our supreme court candidates never had a gun and thus no respect for them and their role in our nation’s history.”

good catch

[PIF]

How could we possibly contradict him? < /s >

Right, with those legal credentials ... I mean the authorship of books & screenplays no one has ever heard about ... a long years in schools and academia and no real life experiences, he is definitely an ‘authority’ worth listening

do I need any tags?
