This is a play to get these women on board the Trump Train. Ignore the tweets and focus on the policy. Barrett turns off the pro-choice former democrats that voted for Trump in 2016 though. They only care about the economy, immigration, and trade. He has a coalition. The campaign determined Barrett adds more conservative religious women than subtracts moderate ancestral democrats. I hope they are right.
God Bless her. The Rats will put her reputation, and her families reputation through the ringer.
Another Roman Catholic.
good luck to us all on 2a
How do we know this is not fake news?
I was pulling for Lagoa.
Excellent choice!
Great! Go Trump! Go Amy!
Caution....”This is CNN” reporting this insider news.
Which selection do you agree with?
They Hate Trump and the Republican party with unbridled passion. Come to think they Hate American just as much.
Funny how those two things go together.
Praying it will be Sidney Powell!
If true this is great news.
” Barrett turns off the pro-choice former democrats that voted for Trump in 2016 though. “
How many of them would be voting for Trump anyway?
If Feinstein questions her religion as “dogma” again, I would say, “Ms. Feinstein, I resent the fact you reduce my faith to ‘dogma’. I demand an apology”.
As I see it, the KEY is winning re-election and not nominating a flaming Leftist, like Souter...and certainly, Amy’s record is far better than Souter’s non-record.
No, she won’t be perfect, simply because Tribalism seems to ALWAYS prevail (even once for Clarence Thomas, but thankfully that was it for him) - but the key here is to have someone fully qualified, who will make it very hard for our side to either stall or vote against, and she certainly fits that bill.
There will be more seats for Trump to fill in the future, but the fuse is too short to nominate someone who hasn’t, yet, been fully vetted...as that could EASILY delay the confirmation, which would suck.
“Barrett turns off the pro-choice former democrats that voted for Trump in 2016 though.”
Even if Roe vrs Wade is overturned it goes back to the states so most pro-choicer’s really have nothing to worry about since no states will ban all abortions. I wish our 2A rights were as secure.
IMO, the biggest PLUS with Amy is that she already sent thru the hearing process very recently, and she could be confirmed IMMEDIATELY.
This isn’t about politics as it is choosing the best Constitutional representative for the court, which is Amy. She’s more of a strict Constructionist than Kavanaugh. She’ll be aligned with Alito and Thomas. I think it will be a fantastic pick!
Better pick than Lagoa if true, but this is CNN, so its source could be nothing
