Britt Grant and it's not even close

But it is close, in terms of Senate confirmation, so it's doubtful she'll be the nominee. BG hearings would be all about gay marriage and she'd be on the defensive; some squishes in the GOP would vote no, and there'd be no hope at all of a Dem vote for her. Besides, Pres. Trump's looking for experience and she hasn't as much as some others.

For that matter, I'll be amazed if he picks Barrett.

Either way I'm not hopeful. Women judges disappoint. It'll be a Souter moment...that will last 30+ years. She'll make Jeff Sessions look like a brilliant selection.

Britt Grant and it's not even close. Why They Oppose Britt Grant

Opposed Gun Safety: Ms. Grant worked on a brief in the case Friedman v. City of Highland Park, Illinois,[28] in which she challenged a local ban on AR-15 assault weapons – the type of weapon that has been used in several school shootings in recent years, including Parkland, Florida in which 17 people were killed. The Seventh Circuit upheld the ban, and Ms. Grant asked the Supreme Court to overturn that decision because the state of Georgia believes that nearly any restriction on gun possession is a violation of the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court rejected her argument.

Which is precisely why we need someone like her ON the USSC.

And labeling it "gun safety" is disingenuous; gun safety is having one when you need it and only using it appropriately.
