The biggest reason for Amy Barret is John Roberts. Plus the 2020 elections.

I don’t want to minimize the importance of picking a good constructionist justice for the long term health of the SC - or picking one who will do the right thing if there is a contested election - but President Trump also needs this confirmation to be a huge blow to the Democrats.
IOW, the more the Democrats hate Amy Coney Barret, the more I like her. I want to see the President and the Republicans shove this confirmation right up the Democrats’ you-know-whats.
The reason is, we need to hit them so hard they have no fight left in them and they finally give up this stupid resistance, violence and never ending impeachment BS.
The President used this strategy in the Middle East Peace talks. He made some very strong moves - moving the embassy, exterminating ISIS, coming out 100% pro Israel, and basically saying - this is the new reality - deal with it. All the anti Israel factions are throwing in the towel because President Trump made it so crystal clear where the US stands.
Maybe if he gives the Democrats a few good beat downs they will realize they can’t win and stop embarrassing themselves.
