I'm going to say something that'll likely be very unpopular: Are people seriously asking for Amy Coney Barrett to be appointed because she's a woman and it'll make Democrat heads explode?
Is that really all it takes anymore?
That's as bad as the identity politics the Democrats and their willing whores in the lying media.
I want someone who's QUALIFIED, I don't care what their race or genetically determined sex is. I want them to be a strict constructionist in the spirit of Antonin Scalia. If that's her, great however I really don't want the Republican Party to get tied up in the same identity politics game that the Democrats play. I really don't. They start that shit, they lose me - a fiscal and social Conservative who proudly cast his first vote for Ronald Wilson Reagan and voted for President Donald J. Trump in 2016.
The Trump kids want Amy. It’s a done deal.....just like Pence.
I agree. Any gender, race, or similar question is bad path and no better than Democratic identification politics, rather bias. I do think it will conflict them, but should be an ‘oh, by the way’, if mentioned at all. As I wrote, I am more concerned with her views on second amendment, on constitutional authority of president, maybe ask what she thinks of judicial legislating and usurpation of authority by judges setting national rulings that extend beyond their district.
If you look at some of the nonsense that has been written by U.S. Supreme Court justices over the last 50 years, I think it's safe to say that you'd get more logic and intellectual coherence out of the Supreme Court if lawyers were disqualified from serving as justices.
Think about that for a moment and realize how far gone the U.S. judiciary is right now.
I voted for Donald Trump because I don't want a politician in the White House.
By the same measure, I don't want lawyers on the Supreme Court anymore. This country would be better off with nine truck drivers on the Supreme Court.
