@RandPaul

Congratulations to Judge Amy Coney Barrett on her nomination to the Supreme Court. I believe she will make an excellent justice that will serve our country and Constitution well, and I look forward to seeing her confirmed soon.

No surprise there. I could have seen him coming up with some objection over a speedy process, but not him having a problem with her as a justice.

But, he must also recognize that the country, and the GOP, is under attack by an unprincipled Dem-led insurrection. A conservative justice is a must here.

Interesting, because some on our side (e.g., Barnes) have been attacking her as authoritarian. Rand’s endorsement goes a long way to dismiss such concerns.

After being nearly lynched by a leftist mob in DC, I’d say that’s probably true.

Mr. Barnes does NOT like her and says she is another Roberts (unreliable)

Time will tell whether he is right..

This nomination is practically done.

Who the heck is Barnes and why should anyone care what he has to say?

With or without Romney, this nomination is going through.

I don’t like all these vague allusions to the time line. I want the Republicans to start committing to a pre election vote. Do they no understand how crucial it is?

Ok, but why is his opinion of any relevance? Every single conservative judicial outfit, including Judicial Watch, The Heritage Foundation, The Federalist etc have come out strongly for Amy Coney Barret.

I’m not sure what he did in the Covington case .. I thought that was some someone else (Todd McMurtry... the one who challenged Rep. Thomas Massie!).

Maybe he helped them I don’t know.

Umm, is he a lawyer or a used car dealer? It’s not easy to tell from his advertising.

Because a lot of people on the right follow him on twitter and he has raised the alarm saying she will be another Roberts (unreliable).

He has suggested she is pro-lockdown and pro-forced vaccinations and has a troubling record on civil liberties.

Most people (like me) aren’t going to read her rulings in detail

Time will tell if he’s right or not.

He is irrelevant. This nomination will go through, no matter what Schumer and the far left crazies do.
In addition, she will become another Scalia/Thomas.
I have no doubt about that whatsoever.

BARNES had nothing to do with Nick Sandmann and Lin said it often. Barnes represented other Covington hs students.
