Amy Barrett Discussion Thread

[puniraptor]

The context wasn't one of the non-harrassing examples from my imagination, tho.

The latest polls show 51% of Americans support her confirmation, which is kind of surprising

She's a very smart semi-attractive woman with no hint of scandal. Kavanaugh's dumb ass set her up for a slam dunk.

Her support among Democrats has risen 18% to 32%.  I guess I’m surprised that’s happened given how she has been portrayed by prominent voices on the left.

What? How has she been portrayed and what prominent voices are you talking about? I haven't read or heard a single thing from a liberal that isn't simply questioning her record. It's you conservatives that insist on discussing things that are not at all relevant to how she applies jurisprudence.

Sometimes (a lot of times) you read things into my posts that I’m not saying and then start freaking out.

puni - how about some gems of the opinion so that we don’t have to read it?

This is all pretty LOL considering that all of the senate rules that would have prevented the pubs from confirming ACB were changed by the dems. Here's a little modern history: Start at 2:00

There is no chance Biden packs the court, so his refusal to say so really does kind of piss me off.

Pubs have really owned the dems on getting Supreme Court justices confirmed outside of normal procedure

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

It's actually a self own since I has become a norm.

I mean I asked you two questions and you didn't answer either of them, so I'll continue to take your post at face value.

I don't think there's no chance, I think it's a wait and see. He also doesn't control how this is going to roll out.

People freaked out about John Roberts, but for the most part, the freak out was unfounded. I think if things like the essential repeal of the voting rights act continues to happen, and more rights continue to be stripped, the dems won't have a choice.

I’ve seen multiple ads for ACB. I’m honestly surprised someone thought it was worthwhile to spend the money in TX for that.

I think it was national because I've seen them in California. Seems really strange regardless

Won't take long to test that settled law thing

[catastrophe]

That won’t get a bit of traction. That’s like the kind of “test” law that abortion activists would pass as a straw man.
