THE GINSBURG RULE
Posted on 10/13/2020 8:20:49 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
The question and answer portion of Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court is underway before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Democrat ranking member Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) pressed Judge Barrett about hypothetical legal battles that she could be compelled to rule on if confirmed to the high court, including abortion, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and campaign finance. Judge Barrett came prepared for “gotcha” questions from Democrat members of the committee, but declined to answer hypothetical questions.
Judge Barrett’s avoidance of hypotheticals mirrors the rule established by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg during her own confirmation. Justice Ginsburg famously said that it would be wrong to preview how she would rule on certain legislative cases before she was seated on the bench.
In response to hypothetical questions, Judge Barrett told Sen. Feinstein that the only commitment on her agenda is upholding the rule of law.

The odious DiFi, hoisted on her own petard.
She can’t leave soon enough.
That is a good rule. Hypothetical questions are just ‘What ifs’, and ‘What ifs’ are for children and old people................
Not just a good rule...but from the Judge who the Dems uphold as a Savior of Women....which includes the killing of babies. Please tell me the logic in that.
Liberals are experts in the art of Cognitive Dissonance...................

Haven’t heard lately but undoubtedly they’d like to.
Trump’s really puttin’ a kink in their “Sell America to the ChiComs” plan.
Dem pretenders are no match.
Good old Ruthie... Who’d of thunk it... She was a Republican Manchurian candidate in waiting.
We just needed to activate her... First activation... Her offering guidance to the future Republican SCOTUS nominee.... Second activation... Not retiring when Obama was in office... Third activation. Not surviving while Trump was in office.
I wonder what secret word or phrase they were using to trigger her actions... My guess... ‘RBG’.
A judge shouldn’t know how they’re going to vote prior to hearing a case.
