USAID

On March 5, the Supreme Court compelled the Trump administration to pay nearly $2 billion to USAID contractors. Coney Barrett has voted against Trump on a range of issues that impact wide areas of U.S. life.

Coney Barrett provided the key vote, siding with the three liberal justices and Chief Justice John Roberts to hand the Trump administration a major loss.

Wonder what the left has on her? They got to Roberts very quickly too (Many think he adopted his kids illegally as I recall). I may be misremembering. I am getting old and have many more senior moments.

The problem has been since the Bork days, the right has to grovel and make excuses and plead with the Dems that “our nominee isn’t really conservative, the nominee won’t hurt Roe v Wade, the nominee is really moderate and reasonable.” They nervously wait for a few Dems to allow them permission to have a Roberts or Barrett confirmed.

The left confidently plants another unqualified DEI woke nominee who sails through: Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson. They ALWAYS vote leftist and woke, with or without use of precedents and citations from previous debates on the issues. Just “feelings”.

She should have remained in The Minors rather than being brought up to The Show.

I’ve heard that about Roberts too. At this point l would have to say Barrett is Trump’s biggest mistake because we are stuck with her for decades. Wray and Sessions/Barr were just as bad but temporary. It’s obvious she hates Trump so that means 5 of the 9 SC Justices hate our President and that is what awaits him at the end of the appeal road

Her first act was to recuse herself and allow Pennsylvania to proceed with the 2020 election fraud.

The pro-life squad only cared out about ostensible pro-life credentials. So they pushed hard for Amy Coney Rabbit. Myself and others warned about her here on FR. But no. "pro-file pro-life pro-life". As bad as libertarians.

Note I'm pro-life but I also see the big picture. Encouraging the confirmation of a socialist judge doesn't help anyone.

Yep, she’s a mistake. A better pick would have been that Cuban-born judge from Florida. I got the impression she had a great appreciation for American liberties. She probably would have ruled more conservatively, IMO.

“Trump has a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court”

I have read that it is because of the protesters outside of her home.
She supposedly is tamed down because she fears for the safety of her family, mainly her kids.

I say, then it is time for her to step down, for the safety of her family, and let someone else in that has balls (pun IS intended).

In Texas v. Pennsylvania, all three Trump appointees joined Roberts and the three Leftists in refusing to hear the case. Thomas and Alito wanted to hear the case. They thought that was their obligation, since suits between states go straight to SCOTUS.

Is this some other case against PA in which Coney Barreet recused herself?

Well, she is owned by the DNC so I guess it was a mistake. She’s a treasonous biatch.

What do they have on her? Nothing, she is a feminist... simple as that. She was picked for her sex.

She is a radfem, they don’t need blackmail. When she went to her swearing in, she jumped into the drivers seat of her minivan and made her husband ride passenger. She had her kids in there including the obligatory Haitian orphan that all woke women have.

When Ketanji Brown had her party after the swearing in, Amy Conehead Barrett called her woke friends and had woke “Hamilton” cast members come sing Hamilton songs.

I’ve seen nothing to suggest she is anything but a typical deep stater and likely feminist.

Anyone can see the court is not 6-3 conservative and it hasn’t been that for awhile.

They keep pushing this false fact.
