No downside but personally I prefer Barbara Logoa. She brings the added problem to being a Latina female to Democrat’s bashing party. Just my Opinion.

There was a post on Sunday warning against ACB on account of her deference to the pope and the bishops on some issues (not traditional Catholic doctrines but things like opposition to the death penalty and pro-immigration).

The only thing I worry about is where does she stand on “social justice” crap.

Catholics seem to easily fall for that crap. .

I also have reservations about her being a Catholic.

But then.... Clarence Thomas is a Catholic too. And his record is superb.

+1!

When? When will someone nominate a regular old Christian to the Court?

And not a protestant either. A Bible believing evangelical.

I haven’t seen anyone play the “deference to the pope and the bishops on some issues” card since Kennedy was running for president 60 years ago. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

And not only that, i.e., following the plurality of the Founding Fathers (there only were three Catholics).

It was hundreds of thousands of evangelicals and protestants, crawling on broken glass to the polls in 2016, who literally put Trump in the White House. How about a little respect for us?

Well now you’ve said it. I was just hoping for someone who might be called a “Protestant.” But really, those who gather as a local independent Scripture-based assembly of Christ-followers are not “Protestants” or “Reformers” (who protested against the errors of the Romanists and sought to return the State Church to its former state), but are just, as you say, regular old Christians, governed by the Bible and led by a lurality of spiritually mature elders for the purpose of helping our neighbors come to Jesus for a new, spiritual birth, and to learn how to live an abundant life.

Second Amendment.

What is her stance? I’ve heard nothing.

war is war. At some point everyone has to realize that and act accordingly.

The West started kicking Islams ass back to the stoneage, as soon as they STARTED FIGHTING back. It’s past time that we started fighting back using the left tactics, and kick their butts back to the stoneage along with Islam.

real catholics vs fake catholics.

REAL ones are amazing. You can tell by the number of kids she has, Barrett is a real one.

I agree. We have enough Catholics and Jews on the Court. How about some good, old-fashioned Protestants for a change? We’re waiting.

What was with this woman’s smeared up eyeglasses? She looked nuts. Nobody who wears glasses all the time wants the lenses smeared up with finger prints or grease or whatever was on hers.

Yeah, let’s have a hot looking judge. And if she’s brilliant, imagine her impact on twitter!

That would be Trumpesque.

I just watched a clip of her being raked over the coals by Al Franken. It was not encouraging.
On being asked why she gave a talk to some group he considered a “hate group,” she could have said it’s often beneficial to talk to people whom you don’t agree with; that it’s hard to change their thinking if you don’t speak to them.
On being asked if she was lying when she said she doesn’t “vet” groups before she speaks to them, when she later said she does try to find out something about them if she knows nothing about them when invited — she could have said there’s a difference between finding out basic information about them, and “vetting.”
Her actual responses were rather feeble.
If you can’t handle an SNL comedian... :(

In retrospect what a very, very wise thing it was to nominate this woman and get her confirmed.
