President Donald Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, will tell the Senate Judiciary Committee on Oct. 12 that the Supreme Court shouldn’t try to make policy.
“I have been nominated to fill Justice Ginsburg’s seat, but no one will ever take her place,” Barrett writes in her remarks, which she is expected to present to the committee.
Her remarks will present her legal philosophy and will stress that she is a proponent of the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s legal theories. Barrett previously was a legal clerk for Scalia, who died in 2016.
“It was the content of Justice Scalia’s reasoning that shaped me. His judicial philosophy was straightforward: A judge must apply the law as written, not as the judge wishes it were. Sometimes that approach meant reaching results that he did not like,” Barrett writes.
“Courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life. The policy decisions and value judgments of government must be made by the political branches elected by and accountable to the People. The public should not expect courts to do so, and courts should not try.”
Barrett, a mother of seven, will also touch on her personal story.
“I am used to being in a group of nine—my family. Nothing is more important to me, and I am so proud to have them behind me,” she writes.
Barrett will deliver her statement to the Judiciary Committee on Oct. 12 in a session that will last four days. The GOP’s leadership said they are trying to get her confirmed before Election Day on Nov. 3.

Like with abortion.

I will watch but will have to leave the room when Harris goes through her nasty routine - the only one she knows. I wonder if she’s heard all the criticism about her behavior in last week’s debate. If so, I guess we’ll see if she learned to keep her smugness, condescension, and obnoxious faces and remarks to herself...I would wager it’s not possible for her to change one iota!! She is one reprehensible individual..I’d rather spend time with Hillary...
She couldn’t have had a better mentor.
For which we all must thank and praise the Lord of all.
Let’s see....Have any USSC case been overturned....only about 200.
She really sounds like a good nominee. ( as for her predecessor, the following seems quite apt:

Heard Sean Hannity today with a great point (not a fan of his, but did agree with this).
The Dems consider Roe v Wade as “law” which can’t be changed due to Stare Decisis.
Not true with Citizen’s United - or the 2nd amendment, etc. Only “laws” leftist judges created.
Automatic disqualifies for Dems.
Overturn R v W. It is the root cause of all the division and hatred in this country.
No such thing as “settled law.” Laws and even Constitutional Amendments can be repealed. Returning R v W back to the states is the real pro-choice argument, one that Republicans should have made all along.
“”I will watch but will have to leave the room when Harris goes through her nasty routine “”
I hope Harris helps us uneducated deplorables out with the big words like she did in the debate last week.
I didn’t know what debt or bounty meant but she splained them so as I could understand.
Why the cloaks USSC? C’mon man. Wear blue jeans, a striped shirt and a whistle around your neck. You could be like the NBA ref’s. You blow some calls. Let’s look at the replay...or is it “settled law”. Nice gig, robes.
You punks put on your panties just like us...one leg at a time.
Hey can we take our cassettes and BOOMBOXES to Pre-Planned extermination centers in lieu of the 1973 Penumbra decision?
Ladies & germs...start your boomers...

Poor Lady is going to have a lot of $hit shoveled at her by some of the senate slugs very soon. Mostly from the unamerican communist leftists.
And it didn’t have to be that way. McConnell could have avoided the upcoming grotesque circus.
I foresee the first stoning on the floor of the Senate judiciary committee.
Good thoughts there.
I agree with you.
“I hope Harris helps us uneducated deplorables out with the big words like she did in the debate last week.”
EXACTLY.
Michael Kools Pence calmly takes a pack out of his inner suit pocket...unwraps the package...takes one out...lightly taps in on the end...like Willie Wood...and smokes the Camel.
I didn’t cum here to be lectured by you Pence. Ok Camel...so it was good for U2?
Spot on! How about re-writing R.v W. As written now it is bad law.
