Amy Coney Barrett’s former classmates and even sorority sisters signed a letter to the president of her alma mater, Rhodes College, resorting to some far-left smear tactics to oppose President Donald Trump’s nomination of Barrett to the Supreme Court. Among other things, the alumni’s letter savages ACB for speaking at an event sponsored by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), citing the far-left scandal-plagued smear factory the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) accusation that ADF is a “hate group” worthy of inclusion on a list with the Ku Klux Klan.
The letter’s signatories say many of them were “contemporaries of, friends of, and even sorority sisters of Amy Coney Barrett” and that, “despite the respect that many of us hold for her intellect, and even the friendship that many of us held or continue to hold with her, we are firmly and passionately opposed to her nomination.”
In fact, the alumni declare themselves “firmly and passionately opposed to Rhodes administrators’ attempts to embrace Amy Coney Barrett as an alumna of our beloved alma mater. We oppose this embrace because we believe both her record and the process that has produced her nomination are diametrically opposed to the values of truth, loyalty, and service that we learned at Rhodes.”
Under the heading of “truth,” the alumni accuse Barrett of having “obfuscated” her position and record on “issues related to Rhodes’ LGBTQ and female alumni.” ACB’s former classmates note that the nominee pledged to uphold Supreme Court precedent — such as Roe v. Wade (1973) — during her confirmation hearings for the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, but in a 2013 Texas Law Review article, she said: “a justice’s duty is to the Constitution” and therefore it would be legitimate to strike down a precedent in conflict with the Constitution.

The Yale kids did the same to Justice Kavanaugh.
Here is the letter from her fellow former alumni at Rhodes College (you can see the signatories in that letter) :

The signatories condemn Barrett for belonging to “the Notre Dame chapter of the anti-choice group University Faculty for Life” and argue that the Federalist Society would only approve a nominee who “is willing to overturn or seriously curtail Roe v. Wade.”
Naturally, the alumni do not admit the fact that Roe v. Wade rests on extremely dubious reasoning, twisting the Fourteenth Amendment to include a right to abortion even though America was tightening abortion restrictions while Congress passed that amendment.

Like Trump, Amy Barrett has all the right enemies.
Have they started having the Two Minutes Hate yet?
Is it illegal to be pro-life?

And?
Rhodes College is one of the most liberal colleges in the South, a perfect little liberal arts school for rich young men and women where they can meet and marry someone of their own social class.
“...despite the respect that many of us hold for her intellect, and even the friendship that many of us held or continue to hold with her, we are firmly and passionately opposed to her nomination.”
Sheesh. With friends like these...
RE: Rhodes College is one of the most liberal colleges in the South
That is would allow a pro-life group to exist on campus means that there’s still hope for this school.
What about Norte Dame, where ACB got her law degree? It’s supposed to be one of America’s foremost Catholic Universities...
Sorority sisters on a Catholic university campus came out against her for being pro-life. Some “sisters!”
Rhodes is Catholic?
I was shocked tbe Notre Dame faculty all wrote in support of her.
but in a 2013 Texas Law Review article, she said: “a justice’s duty is to the Constitution” and therefore it would be legitimate to strike down a precedent in conflict with the Constitution.
I smell some book deals in the works.
As predictable as the sunrise/sunset.
