Judge Amy Coney Barrett will address the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, kicking off her first day of Senate confirmation hearings as President Trump and Senate Republicans push to rush the conservative judge to the Supreme Court.
Barrett will tell senators that “policy decisions” need to be made by Congress and the White House, and that courts are “not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life.”
So when a law is shown to be unjust, or harmful to members of our society we just have to lump it? Because it is what is?
I’m not clear on why I need to learn about her family’s life when she’s running for a position where her personal views will directly affect my family’s life. I’d much rather have her address that, but I suspect she won’t because she’s out of the mainstream with Americans.
Will she be able to visit with Graham personally since he refuses to have a Covid test?
Maybe she’s going to explain how easy it is to have all those children and a full time job without any help.
I suspect that even if a nuclear bomb destroyed Washington DC, McConnell wouldn’t delay these hearing if he were still alive. Expect a confirmation vote by Friday at the latest.
At least she’s learned to give more info in her opening statement for all the amateur contact tracers (a.k.a., the media) who will need to do follow-ups. Start looking up those friends. Incubation time from the Rose Garden can continue for another week.
Given her SUPPOSEDLY NON PERTINENT religious views, her “Originalist” views make total sense since the inference is they can do seances with the Founding Fathers who had no views whatsoever on adapting as times demanded, not at all by White Jesus amen.
This attempt at charm falls very flat. Using her children much like Sarah Palin to increase her likability is pretty hollow. And despite her professed religious objections to the death penalty, she has no problem lifting pauses to allow the feds to execute inmates.
