Lagoa also got about 30 dem votes in her confirmation. Why??? What do they know that we don't?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britt_Grant

Born 1978 Elizabeth Britt Cagle[1] in Atlanta, Georgia, Grant attended The Westminster Schools.(Presbyterian) She received a Bachelor of Arts in English and politics from Wake Forest University in North Carolina.[2] She worked for then-Congressman Nathan Deal in Washington, D.C., and then served in various roles in the administration of President George W. Bush.[2] Grant received a Juris Doctor from Stanford Law School, where she was president of the Federalist Society chapter, and was thereafter a law clerk to then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.[3][4]

Georgia girl. Younger then Amy Barret, not Catholic. Nomination went through along party lines. Don't know much about her other than that.

No more Catholics. We have too many already. There are no longer any Protestants, and we need at least a couple, remembering who most of our Founders were, who wrote the Constitution on their Christian principles.

The same thing that the 11 Democrats who voted for Clarence Thomas knew, despite the fact that the Democrats had 57 Senate seats.

A vote against Lagoa might turn a critical ethnic voter bloc against them personally, ending their political careers. The Dems could easily have filibustered Thomas’s nomination. They dared not. Pols talk a good game about party solidarity. But when the going gets tough, it’s every man for himself.

I’d favor a Protestant for a change. The Court is overloaded with Catholics and Jews. Protestants are the most numerous Christians in this country. Why is there only one on the Court—Gorsuch?

I would go for someone other than Barret. Barret is a member of a nutty sect. It sounds like one of those New Apostolic Reformation groups that believe in modern day apostles that have powers as “little gods” to prophesize, heal, and even raise people from the dead. Some examples: Bill Johnson’s Bethel Church in Redding, California. It’s infecting Protestant and Catholic churches all over the world. She will be smeared by Democrats on that alone.
