Negative article....we can do better than this.

[Jane Long]

Oh, goody.

I’ve been anxiously awaiting to see what NYSlimes take is on ACBs views.

.

NOT.

[11th_VA]

Off topic : the next few weeks/months will determine which way this country goes. We’ve reached a fork in the road - it’s either left or right ...

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Oh, it will get nastier… you can bet on it.

If she is confirmed, she would move the court slightly but firmly to the right

If (and it's a big if, given the inconsistency of "conservative" SC jurists over the last 50 years) she votes consistently as a conservative, Barrett would eliminate John Roberts' role as swing vote and finally, at long last, cement a conservative majority on the court.

Given the Reagan, Bush I and Bush II presidencies, conservatives should have been able to count on a solid majority for decades, but O'Connor, Souter, Kennedy and now Roberts doomed that effort. Conservatives have done their job supporting these presidents and their SC choices only to be let down and betrayed again and again. Barrett better be worth the support. Same goes for Gorsuch and Kavanaugh - given what they went through and what conservatives had to go through in support of them, we need much better from them than Gorsuch's transgender legislation-from-the-bench.

Pure unadulterated crap from the number one crap purveyor. Enough from the Walter Duranty “news source”.

“...she would move the court slightly but firmly to the right...”

They have to say this. Otherwise, they would be admitting that Ginsberg was a far left radical.

making compromise less likely

I don't think the justices are supposed to debate and "compromise." They just have to apply the law.

>>If she is confirmed, she would move the court slightly but firmly to the right,<<

And all these years, the rats stood firm and forced the conservatives to the left. So what’s the problem?

If she is good enough for DJT she is good enough for me!

Trump is the most successful president since Washington.

Shes the right choice

[cdpap]

They will never learn. Just as rush said they could vote for her without any hearings. She just had hearings for her appt to the federal judgeship she has now. The hearings were held in front of the same senate panel and voted on by whole senate. They probably could have deemed her already advised and consented to if they wanted to(or had the balls to).

abortion = killing innocent humans

This is a constitutional right?

[Pollster1]

If she is confirmed, she would move the court slightly but firmly to the right, making compromise less likely and putting at risk the right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade.

The Court is not supposed to compromise. Their Oath is:

““I, _________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as _________ under the Constitution and laws of the United States; and that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

I see nothing in there that even permits compromise.

Judge Barrett’s judicial opinions, based on a substantial sample of the hundreds of cases that she has considered in her three years on the federal appeals court in Chicago, are marked by care, clarity and a commitment to the interpretive methods used by Justice Antonin Scalia, the giant of conservative jurisprudence for whom she worked as a law clerk from 1998 to 1999.

To me, this is the key statement...and why they fear her. She can read.
