‘Fill the seat’: Will Chamberlain notes that Amy Coney Barrett has already gone through Senate confirmation hearings
Twitchy ^ | 09/19/20 | staff

We’d like to see the Senate seat President Trump’s nominee to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as quickly as possible — it could have even longer-lasting implications than a Harris-Biden administration would, as there would be a check on their power in the Judicial branch.

We’re not sure who the nominee will be, but Judge Amy Coney Barrett has been on the short-list for a Supreme Court seat for a while, and Human Events editor-in-chief Will Chamberlin reminds us that Barrett already went through Senate confirmation hearings in 2017 when she was named to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The Senate confirmed her then, so why not let those be the hearings and just have a vote?

[Have a look at this. Britt Grant was Solicitor General of Georgia at the time: one of the filers of this brief against an AR-15 ban.

At 42 years of age, she’d be a wonderful addition to the SC. However, I think electoral politics will probably take center stage. Also, Trump likes the Ivies. Neither Grant nor Barrett is an Ivy League law grad. Lagoa is.

Did she get in on the Hispanic quota? Who knows? Besides the issue today, literally weeks from an election, isn’t how Lagoa got her Ivy League degree - it’s whether she’ll get Trump over the top in FL and other states where even a small swing in the Hispanic vote would make a difference.

Whoever it is, has to be a lawyer. A person who does not know the law cannot be a SC Justice.

Lagoa looks like a great choice.

No doubt that she’s good in re. the 2nd Amendment. Anyone interested should have a look at articles on the 2nd Amendment at the site that I linked to.

Do you have to be a lawyer or attend law school to be a Supreme Court Justice? ... A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law. Many of the 18th and 19th century Justices studied law under a mentor because there were few law schools in the country.

So to further subvert the Constitution, Schiff is putting together an impeachment hearing against Barr and Trump, if Trump moves forward with a nomination. This is an absolute rape of our country.

That was then. No one would expect to have a shot at SC Justice without a thorough knowledge of the law. So, suggestions of people who have NO law background are naive, at best.
