Amy Coney Barretts 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 Trumps nomination of Barrett to the Supreme Court. Among other things, the alumnis 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 Centers (SPLC) accusation that ADF is a hate group worthy of inclusion on a list with the Ku Klux Klan.
The letters 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. ACBs 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 justices duty is to the Constitution and therefore it would be legitimate to strike down a precedent in conflict with the Constitution.

Sheesh. With friends like these...
________________
That must hurt. Everyone liked her until she was offered the honor of being nominated to the highest court of the land. Then suddenly she is too evil for the position. Democrats have no sense of decency.
With ‘friends’ like this...
Or on the other hand - the great GM:
“I dont want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.
At one time even Larry Tribe admitted there is no basis for Roe in the Constitution, although he’d probably deny saying that today.
Everybody....THis is the perfect time to be building LISTS of NAMES , of all these people coming out against Trump and ACB.
ALL of them . Note who they are . Save these ,lists .
You never know
Mean Girls up to bat... like, she totally used my conditioner once without asking!
A pile of elitist pukes if I ever saw them. Complete and utter scum. These are the people who believe they should rule us all.
UPenn did the same thing to Donald J. Trump, after formerly having listed him on the Wharton School of Business web page as one of Whartons most distinguished graduates.
these far-left kooks can sign all the poison-pen letters they want, just so long as a bunch of them don’t get together and claim that Amy gang-raped them ...
According to the hateful SPLC, The Salvation Army is a “Hate Group.”

Anyone signing this petition should be deeply ashamed of themselves! They cannot “cancel” Amy Coney Barrett as an alumna of Rhode College:
....”As a member of the Rhodes College Class of 1994, she graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a Bachelor of Arts in English. While at Rhodes, she was elected to the Honor Council and to the Student Hall of Fame. She has gone on to a career of professional distinction and achievement.”....
Even if some of her fellow alumni/ae disagree with her political or religious views, they should still be proud of their fellow alumna’s distinction and achievements, both professionally and personally. After all, this attitude is one of the things that Rhodes College purports to teach.
If, on the other hand, they are too doctrinaire leftist to respect ACB in this manner, or of they have been paid by Democrat operatives or Sorosites to sign this petition, they can just SUCK IT UP and SHUT UP!!
And when ACB is confirmed, and compiles a distinguished record of judicial achievement, anyone signing this petition will have egg on their face PERMANENTLY, and have to bear their shame for years to come!!!!
Notice the part thats underlined. She didnt say that no quotes. They assumed that part.
Thinking of Notre Dame. My mistake.
Satan’s minions always at work.
And ultimately, neither Trump nor Kavanaugh nor Barrett was or will be stopped by these spiteful leftists. Still, when you look at someone like Amy, who by all accounts of those who know her is just an exemplary person, and then you see this kind of crap, well, it makes me angry on her behalf! To have a significant portion of her alma mater, fellow alumni, even classmates come out and denounce her, it’s just shameful. But then you step back and realize it’s not really about her... it’s about abortion.
no
Pity a stout branch won’t hold them all...
Wonder how many of them have abortion guilt? Probably a lot.
