Trump's Supreme Court frontrunners: A mother of seven who adopted two children from Haiti and belongs to a Christian sect that inspired The Handmaid's Tale - and a Cuban American whose father was stopped from becoming a lawyer by Castro
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 20 2020

President Donald Trump's announced Saturday night that the Supreme Court nominee he plans to announce next week to fill the vacancy left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be a woman, spotlighting two conservative women as his potential pick.

During a campaign rally in North Carolina, Trump declared 'I will be putting forth a nominee this week, it will be a woman', later adding his pick would be a 'very talented, very brilliant woman' because 'I like women more than I like men'.

As he left the White House for the rally, the president identified two women as front runners: Amy Coney Barrett, 48, of the Chicago-based 7th Circuit and Barbara Lagoa, 52, of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit as possible nominees.

At least she was up-front about it, as opposed to a certain former Attorney General.

Agreed. This was expected and therefore strategy was not left to chance.

Thanks for bolstering my opposition to organized religion.

What I have found is that the only alternative to organized religion is disorganized religion. We are by nature religious--looking for transcendent causes to help organize our thoughts. Leftists often plainly state that their religion is what they call "progress"--for the sake of which they must eliminate actual religion and the family.

Progress for the Left is the idea that man has no inherent nature, and that the right dictator can make him perfect. But there are other utopian visions: Environmentalism; Libertarian Economics; Communitarianism, and so on.

Christianity and Judaism teach that man is inherently flawed and potentially saintly, and that vicious conflict and wrongdoing, even within our personal lives, are inevitable unless we "get over ourselves."

It's pretty accurate.

Your Post Tell Another Story JonPreston. About 50% of your posts use the word “I”. Your discourtesy to lewislynn betrays the spirit of this forum, disagree all you want but personal attacks are a leftist tactic:

Hi.

Methinks Communism is a cult and a sect.

Satanism to.

Oh, wow that makes so much sense.

Really? 60 years since JFK and people still believe government officials will bow to Rome? That is a lame stance in 2020.

So’s the pope. If she’s into personal (not sacramental) confession and speaking in tongues, that is NOT Catholicism. I stand by my objections.

I could respond on the merits, regaling you with Church Fathers, the Councils, their dates etc.. It would be a waste of time for both you and me

I did not argue based upon the merits of so-called Church Fathers or the Councils, but what Scripture teaches versus your authority, and I accept your cordial and wise retreat. May God peradventure grant you "repentance to the acknowledging of the truth." (2 Timothy 2:25)

It's quite appropriate to add personal opinion to a post but mindless hate, as was his case with Catholics, especially given DJTs pending Catholic SC picks, is quite different.

See the difference?

Confession is an integral part of the Catholic religion. The article claims she ‘believes’ in tongues. So what?
