Blind Former Law Student Calls Amy Coney Barrett “One of the Kindest Individuals I’ve Ever Known”
Life News ^ | 10/15/2020 | Micaiah Bilger

A major problem arose during Laura Wolk’s first few weeks of class when she lost access to the assisted technology that she relies on because of her blindness. Struggling to keep up, Wolk said she turned to Barrett, one of her new professors, for help.

Wolk said she expected that Barrett would listen to her problems and then direct her to another office or individual. Instead, she said Barrett promised to advocate for her, and she did.

“’Laura,’ she said … ‘This is no longer your problem. It’s my problem.’ I can’t capture adequately the relief that washed over me at her words,” Wolk said. “She is a woman of her word.

To this day, I do not know what Judge Barrett did to solve my problem. All I know is that the technology arrived promptly, which in turn allowed me to excel and to place me into a position that eventually allowed me to apply for a position on the Supreme Court.”

This judge is the real deal...and yet that low IQ streetwalker from Hawaii asks her if she’s ever sexually harassed anyone.

Put a kind, smart, successful Christian mother in front of Democrats, and they try to verbally rape her.

Democrat politicians are plainly demonic.

Good story, but the headline made me laugh. Made me think of “Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.”.

We found a way to cope with all this anti-Trump stuff going on by being in flag waves. Our County GOP & local Tea Party have two going on this weekend. It’s more fun than you can imagine & most cars going by are THRILLED to see us.

Yeah, it was just something that popped into mind when I saw the “one of the kindest” phrase, heh.

So glad you reminded me of Raymond Shaw. I know plenty of people, including relatives, who watch CNN & have been brainwashed to think Biden is great. There was even an incident at a family funeral lunch between Trumpers & Trump haters.

It’s amazing all the DIRT and FAKE stories trying to stain ACB -— it was immediate... the LEFT has NO HONOR at all - and the media is complicit in this Marxist ideology of blackmailing and destroying someone because they do not hold the same mindset... shameful ... it is time to rid out Nation of this illness — take away their funding - take away their grip — and let me die in rotten rooms where no one goes anymore... it is about time stories like this are shared... at first, I admit - I did not know what to believe because of the onslaught of stories... but, as always, time has revealed the true intent of the LEFT and how they conduct themselves...

I was listening to local conservative radio this morning & learned this blind woman is from my area. Then I started searching for articles & found several good ones.
