Lagoa is also said to be a devout Catholic. Granted, though, she doesn't speak in tongues, if that's part of devout Catholicism. Educate me on the issue and the requirement that all Supreme Court justices must be devout Catholics.

People of Praise
Wikipedia
...People of Praise was formed in 1971 by Kevin Ranaghan and Paul DeCelles. Both men were involved in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, in which Pentecostal religious experiences such as baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and prophecy was practiced by Catholics.
...
History
Further information: Basic ecclesial community People of Praise grew out of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, which began in the United States in 1967 and saw Pentecostal religious experience and practices such as baptism in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues embraced by members of the Catholic Church.

"Private prayer language"
Searching for "private prayer language" on LexisNexis Academic in the "Major Papers" category, I found six hits, four of which refer specifically to the two votes mentioned above. The other two uses are both in quotations. One is from a 1994 story (Esther Talbot Fenning, "Charismatic Renewal: Movement in Worship", St. Louis Post-Dispatch, August 19, 1994), about practices in among Catholics involved in "Charismatic Renewal" (emphasis added):
Charismatics believe that speaking in tongues, healing and prophecy are gifts of the early church and are still available to people who are open to them, says Bonnie Dillard of the People of Praise, a prayer group at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in St. Charles.

"Most Catholic pastors are frightened of the Charismatic Renewal," Dillard said. "Part of the reason is that they've seen people get into it and go on to leave the church."

Dillard said that speaking in tongues and prophetic utterances also are disconcerting to some Catholics.

"Tongues is simply a private prayer language consisting usually of a few nonsense syllables," she said. "It has no basic function at large gatherings."

Will Lagoa remain conservative and could she possibly sway the wise Latina to be more conservative? Worth the risk. I would go with Lagoa.

Lagoa sounds horrible if she got a vote of 80-15. That means the Rats think she is fine. If the choice is between the two, Amy seems better, even though I now trust neither.

I like to think this will not be Trump’s last selection for the Supreme Court. If he places Lagoa on the court, whens the election, he will most probably have a chance to put Barrett on there also.

If we were intent on a conservative dedicated to an honest interpretation of our Constitution, then we would be shouting for Britt Grant to be appointed. That is, if we were absolutely certain that President Trump will be reelected after nominating her.

Britt Grant was Solicitor General of Georgia and one of the filers of the brief against an AR-15 ban.

What our political opponents (Democrats) think of Britt Grant:

Oppose the Confirmation of Britt Grant to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
https://civilrights.org/resource/oppose-confirmation-britt-grant-u-s-court-appeals-eleventh-circuit/

https://www.afj.org/issue/gun-safety/
“Britt Grant (Eleventh Circuit) argued that a city ordinance prohibiting possession of AR-15 style weapons or large-capacity magazines violated the Second Amendment.”

More on that (other issues)...

Oh, I’m saying a very small number know who she is, and they are probably set in their vote. I didn’t mean they would change their vote.

Very good and compelling argument.

But I think it will be ACB, partially to SPECIFICALLY tweak the democrats’ noses.

“Attacked LGBT Equality: Ms. Grant worked on an amicus brief filed by Georgia and other states in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges,[7] which established marriage equality in America. Ms. Grant argued there was no constitutional right to marriage equality...”

There’s quite a bit more about that and her work against abortion behind the link. There’s more proof of Grant’s conservative work than of any other potential nominee.

That is a “deal killer”. Nope, no sale.

Are you referring to the immigration issues? Haiti. Catholic charities.

If you are going to show up to make a theological point, try not to be Biblically illiterate.

Acts 2:4-6 (The day of Pentecost)
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.
5 Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6 And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language. (NASB)

Putting Lagoa on the bench isn’t necessarily short term thinking. If Lagoa offers a better chance of winning the election, Trump has four years to appoint Barrett. It’s likely he will make 4 more appointments in the next term. If Trump is not elected, those 4 appointments will be RBG clones.

I’m referring to fact that Jeb Bush is a RINO posing as a Republican. Nothing about him is real, he is pure phony.

If he nominated her, she is likely very similar.

I like Barrett a lot better for the Supreme Court. She will uphold the constitution. The Globalist Never Trump RINO’s are traitors to the nation.

What about Ron DeSantis? He appointed Lagoa to the Florida Supreme Court? Got anything other than logical fallacies to offer?

there are really only two justices with some likelihood to leave in the next four years. Clarence Thomas 73 who has been talking about it. and Stephen Breyer 82 because of his age although he seems healthy so only a moderately small chance.

There’s more proof that Grant would uphold the Constitution.
