Let's get down to brass tacks --
The communists have been trying to take over our country since world war two... and frankly, they're succeeding!
Senator Bernie Sanders is openly socialist, BLM is admittedly Marxist... and we have Antifa fascists as political enforcers.
Justice Lagoa is biased AGAINST communism and socialism... and THAT"S a bias on the court that I can live with.
She is a logical choice.
Yes, there are a lot of issues that us patriots champion... but if the communists -- under the guise of socialism take over -- these "issues" will be moot, because we well be a republic in name only.
Justice Lagoa's parents fled Fidel Castro's Communist government in Cuba to come to The United States.
Justice Lagoa is the product of her parent's American dream.
Justice Lagoa will defend our constitution and our American way of life.
President Trump has said: "America will never be a socialist country".
I would not be surprised if he selected Justice Lagoa for the Supreme court.
We will see!
Justice Lagoa's credentials
Excerpt:
"Justice Barbara Lagoa was born in Miami, Florida. She received her Bachelor of Arts cum laude in 1989 from Florida International University where she majored in English and was a member of the Phi Kappa Phi honor society. Justice Lagoa received her Juris Doctor from Columbia University School of Law in 1992, where she served as an Associate Editor of the Columbia Law Review. She is fluent in English and Spanish".

I say....... NO!
I say either is a great choice.

I agree with many of your points but this is Amy’s moment.
I’m embarrassed to admit i haven’t read about either one yet.
It would be great though if we bluffed who the candidate was, then did a switcharoo at last minute like this.
I agree, an emphatic No!
The court needs somebody with a fervent and personal hatred of socialism. That would be Lagoa.
But it seems that this is not her moment.
Your entire argument is based on your opinion that she is “anti-communist” based on her parents fleeing Cuba? Who says any of the other potential nominees are any less “anti-communist” than Lagoa? I see no evidence to back up this argument.
Lagoa’s resume is incredibly thin on important constitutional issues and she has only been a Federal Judge for a year. I say let her build her resume in the 11th Circuit. Right now, we really don’t know her. Several other candidates have much more impressive bodies of work that we can examine. Actual written rulings and opinions on cases involving important constitutional issues.
Lagoa might be easier to confirm, but if Trump can put a more proven judge on the court, he should.
Are you even still around? You asked people and should answer them. And the answer is no.
And donate $10 to freerepublic for a kind of silly vanity
“News”? Your opinion isn’t news.
This debate is moot, because, IMHO, both women will become SCJ’s, soon enough. I see the need for yet another new SCJ, just around the corner.
NO
Bump
Hi Mount Athos. Here are two good places to start.
Amy Cohen Barrett

Indeed, it mostly is!
It may be anecdotal... but it’s my experience that people that have escaped oppression — or have a family history of same — are often more appreciative of the freedom America affords, than those that haven’t experienced what it’s like to not have it.
You don’t have to look to far to see how unappreciative and spoiled so many in America have become.
Just my personal observations...
Thank you for your post.

The “news” is The POTUS appointing someone to the Supreme court tomorrow ... but thanks for playing!

“The court needs somebody with a fervent and personal hatred of socialism. That would be Lagoa”.
It isn’t rocket science...but sometimes the most obvious is the thing that is the hardest to see.
That said: I will support who ever President Trump nominates.

Over twice as long as you :)
I have answered!
Your opinion is noted.

Old news. But I guess it’s new to you.
Why are both names being raised? I thought Trump had decided to nominate Judge Amy. Is there still doubt?
