Here's one argument I heard for Mary's ability to intercede:

Typologically, the ancient Davidic kingdom prefigures -- is a model for -- Christ's Kingdom in Heaven (the New Jerusalem).

It was customary in ancient Semitic kingdoms for people to ask the Queen Mother (mother of the king) to intercede for them, as she often had much influence over her son.

In the New Jerusalem, Mary is this Queen Mother.

First this is the worst kind of eisegesis (A subjective method of interpretation by introducing one’s own opinions into the original)

Second Mary is no queen.

This leaves you having to twist scripture into a pretzel to get it to support what you’ve already decided.

In the New Jerusalem, Mary is this Queen Mother.

The NJ is here already?

Why do Catholics have such a low view of God and His promises and commands?

In the New Jerusalem, Mary is this Queen Mother.

Scriptural references for this title for her and her ability to hear and answer prayer are????
