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.

Amy Barrett is a Catholic, Catholics do not speak in tongues.
In my defense their was an earlier article that said what I repeated. And actually what I said and you criticized say pretty much the same thing. So it comes down to semantics
Amy Barrett is a Catholic, Catholics do not speak in tongues.
I believe she is a member of People for Praise, a ‘Charismatic Catholic’ group that does believe in speaking in tongues.

The actor Martin Sheen is a complete nutter, except he is against abortion.
Grant's the only judge I've seen actually get a letter from the left begging the Judiciary Committee not pick her.
I like that.
Check her out.
Gorsuch has shown deference to the left recently in one of the more egregious examples of overreach (adding Gays, lesbians & transsexuals to the Civil Rights Act of 1964).
Give me a cranky curmudgeon who does not care what people think.
I concur - Catholics don’t speak in tongues. But I’m not sure what to make of her alleged membership in this People for Praise group. It sounds to me like a fringe group of Catholics, who are neither approved nor rejected by the Catholic Church, and some of whom do indeed practice glossolalia.
My concern is that Dems and the media will use this to frame her as some kind of nut-job.
I say ‘Bring It!’. Their attacks fail just like the Kavanaugh attacks.
“Give me a cranky curmudgeon who does not care what people think.”
Agreed. At least we have that in PawPaw Trump!
Well every poll I have seen has Trump leading amongst Cubans and Venezuelans. Even the fake news polls.
“Intelligent people know the judge was bound by Supreme Court precedent.”
That is not an “intelligent” statement.
Judges are NEVER “bound” by Supreme Court precedent. A “precedent” can be undone, and precedents have been undone. They are done win the legal logic of a ruling does not rest on a precedent and takes a different approach that challenges the reasoning of a precedent.
The use of Supreme Court “precedents” is founded neither in law or the Constitution. It is mere “tradition” with later judges hesitant to tar the reputation of their predecessors.
Each session of the Supreme Court is no different that each session of Congress. They are a new court, and not bound by prior decisions anymore than each Congress can be bound by something they don’t agree with from a prior Congress.
My very limited understanding is that, that group believes that the wife should be obedient to the husband. I don’t see it as a big deal but you are certainly right that the D’s will try and paint her as some king of nut job. And like you I say “Bring It!”.
Because women are a significant component of the swing vote, and the half tuned in sexist Feminist brain washed types may be appeased.
As much as I want to puke about it, this is where we are.
Immediate no for me.
If it ever becomes necessary to use nuclear weapons to defend America, there will no America left, let alone a Supreme Court.
Decisions on using nuclear weapons,if it came to that, will be lightnkng quick.
Well its a good thing you are not president then isn’t it?
Ephesians 5
19 Speak to one another by the songs in the holy writings, and songs of praise, and Christian songs. Sing and make a joyful noise in your hearts to the Lord.
20 Always thank God the Father for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 Give way to each other because you respect Christ.
22 Wives, obey your husbands as you obey the Lord.
23 The husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church people. The church is his body and he saved it.
24 Wives should obey their husbands in everything, just as the church people obey Christ.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church people. He gave his life for the church.
26 He did that so that he might make the church people holy, when they were washed with water by God’s word.
27 He gave his life for the church so that one day he can look at the church and see that the people are great and wonderful. The people of the church must have no dirty spot or wrinkle or any thing like that. But they are to be holy and good.
28 So husbands should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself.
29 No one ever hated his own body. But he feeds it and takes care of it.
30 In the same way Christ takes care of the church because we are parts of his body.
31 The holy writings say `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother. He shall be joined to his wife, and the two of them shall be like one person.’
32 This is a wonderful plan of God. I am speaking here of the plan about Christ and the church people.
33 However, each one of you should love his wife as he loves himself. And the wife should respect her husband.
Doesn't every conservative nominee get all that?
Didn't the Judiciary Committee get literally hundreds of letters from far left groups not to pick Kavanaugh?
