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.

Too bad There aren’t more like Janice Rogers Brown
Cite the government mandated shut-down precedent.
Why do we have to capitulate to the leftist “woman” movement all the time? It is killing us!!!

I agree. I am a woman as well, at least the last time I checked. :)
Women tend to put emotion ahead of logic. I can take only so much of the “feelings” part of a situation. Arguments must contain reason and evidence.
Perhaps I am a strange lady, but I love men for the way they tend to sift through the issues without all the emotions.
FILL THAT SEAT!
Before Nov 3rd!
Do 32,000 New Democrat voters fall in your scenario?
Waiting for the perfect SCOTUS candidate is like waiting for the perfect POTUS candidate.
It ain’t gonna happen. We just need one who is generally strongly Conservative and will not stab us in the back.
These FR purity tests are counterproductive.
I don’t trust her — there’s something about her background all the way over to her fake smile. She wants power and stands so still and is always looking at the camera to make sure a photo is taken of her... maybe she is super conservative and will do away with Roe/Wade poison — I don’t know... but I do know that my senses are telling me there is something about that lady that I do not trust... these things are learned from dealing with various types of people across various cultures and countries — and it’s what has kept me alive!
This was a ruling on the Governor’s legal authority to impose a lockdown.
It was about the state and Federal Constitution, not feelings. She was Scalia’s intern and is a strick Constitutionalist with many rulings and opinions.
Joke post?
You can always look at ACBs stellar record in the District and Circuut Courts instead of spewing misogynistic nonsense.

Arguments must contain reason and evidence?
So why is there no reason or evidence in your argument?
It’s early....
Judge Jeanine Pirro or Sidney Powell
It really pains me to say this, but I feel that I must.
I remember there were objections to JFK’s Catholicism - to the effect he would heed the Pope in his governance.
Well with Pope Francis, now I’m worried.
Women on SCOTUS never have worked well for conservatives. That includes S.D. O’connor.
And ANYONE who was/is in favor of the lockdown is not a patriot.
Sandra O’Connor is a pro-abort but was confirmed with conservative votes. People thought that since Reagan made the appointment, O’Connor’s pro-abort position didn’t matter. Can’t imagine why
That is a very good reason for her to be on the Supreme Court, given that you are a leftist. We want to choose strict constitutionalists who are not liked by leftists
there’s something about her background all the way over to her fake smile. She wants power and stands so still and is always looking at the camera to make sure a photo is taken of her...
Seriously? Will you excuse me while I laugh?
I would not put it past some grandstanding democrat to ask Barret for a “demonstration of speaking in tongues” for the committees consideration. I wonder how she’d handle that.
I concur
As much as I am pro life
