Judge Amy Coney Barrett has emerged as the choice of Conservative Twitter to be the successor on the Supreme Court to replace deceased former justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Friday after many bouts of cancer.
However, Barrett’s record is troubling on many issues, with a ruling that gives Democrats in Illinois blanket authority to shut down society based on COVID-19 mass hysteria standing out as particularly heinous.
Barrett concurred with the majority in Illinois Republican Party et al. v. J.B. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois to keep the illegal lockdown in place and allow Democrats to rip up the Constitution under the guise of safety. She hid behind the precedent of Jacobsen v. Massachusetts (1905) in an attempt to avoid culpability for her decision.
“At least at this stage of the pandemic, Jacobson takes off the table any general challenge to [Pritzker’s executive order] based on the Fourteenth Amendment’s protection of liberty,” the majority opinion read in the case.
It continued: “[W]hile in the face of a pandemic the Governor of Illinois was not compelled to make a special dispensation for religious activities, see Elim, nothing in the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment barred him from doing so. As in the cases reconciling the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses, all that the Governor did was to limit to a certain degree the burden on religious exercise that [the governor’s executive order] imposed.”
While Barrett rolls over to the far left and allows Democrats to rip up the Constitution, other judges are actually living up to their oath, such as the Trump-appointed District Judge in Pennsylvania, William S. Stickman.

Bork likely would have gotten a majority in Casey...that would be big. But there is good evidence that Bork may not have sided with the majority in Heller. If so, then not only would a SCOTUS Bork have been replaced by Obama, but perhaps he'd have gutted the palladium of the liberties of our republic.
I don't want to start a war over Abortion vs the Second Amendment. But in retrospect, getting "Borked" may not have been all that bad a thing.
Mrs Mith strokes again.
I agree with you. All any of us can do (including Trump) in this all important decision process is “guess” based on a few tidbits of facts. One tidbit is that at some point in her life Barrett elected to hyphenate her name. Lagoa did not. Is that an indicator that Barrett is more of a Feminist than Lagoa? Who knows? But, all things considered, I suspect she is. So, I vote for Lagoa.
“A Cuban would understand why well meaning restrictions on hostility to individuals.”
Like little Senator Marko Rubio from Florida?
I have never seen Barrett’s name hyphenated.
What kind of organization is Big League Politics?
That tells you when you need to know about this ‘journalist’
bump
She’s a good pick for SCOTUS.
“...and she’s married to another lawyer, “
Who was Counsel to Fla. Gov. Charlie Crist. (D)
Your point being?
Lawyers, Doctors, Insurance companies.......one feeds the next in a big circle where they all benefit..
with US PAYING THE BILL !!!!
“Sidney Powell”
YES!
I don't want to start a war over Abortion vs the Second Amendment
Neither do I, but I think that abortion is a huge cultural problem, whereas Second Amendment rights are a Constitutional discussion.
The state should definitely cease funding planned parenthood 100%.
Sidney Powell is rock solid plus she is mature.
All the Amy Barrets in this country could cost us the election. She will be another Roberts on the Supreme Court, when we need a real conservative to neutralize the actual Justice Roberts.
Read the decision. The article is completely fraudulent. ACB and that court were bound by USSC precedent. That decision proves she’s not an activist judge; that she’s the very kind of judge we want.
I’ve had the same opinion. I hope it’s just my imagination, or that she is a big head-fake by Trump. But after this spring and summer, judicial tolerance of lockdowns is the biggest issue for me.
They’re not conservatives. They’re far leftists that come here acting like they’re conservatives to stir up trouble. They’re plants. It’s part of the information warfare/psyops the Marxist Dems and their main strategist for gen stanley mccrystal are running.
Good point!
