    If there was a virtue test for voting, Trump would not be able to vote.

    We have already taken several steps back since Trump took office. But, that is nothing compared to what will happen when Barrett gets her hands on the SC. Every case since the 1950's for civil rights, woman's rights, gray/LGBTQ rights, immigrant rights, etc will all be overturned.

    Like anyone in the world would believe the Republicans at this point. Let alone Ted Cruz

    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/28/cru...ting-conditions-if-obamacare-struck-down.html

    “Every Republican agrees we’re going to protect preexisting conditions,” Cruz said, while criticizing Democrats for trying to make Barrett’s nomination into a referendum on health care. “What they’re talking about is what they think politically resonates, but 100 out of 100 senators agree we’re going to protect preexisting conditions regardless of what happens with Obamacare.”

    My question is this then. Why strike down the ACA? Why not make changes to it that would make it better and strengthen it? Why all the work to kill it? If they put this much effort into making it stronger and better there would be no problems.

    They are killing it to illustrate just how cynical the Republicans are about voter intelligence. These clowns expect the voters to actually believe they will do what they say they will do. This despite blatant examples of outright lying including the egregious Lindsey Graham flip flop on filling the Supreme Court slot. They say whatever the voters want to hear, and then conveniently forget about it when reelected. Or worse, they come up with some bull shit rationalization that that’s even more unbelievable than their promises. They’re hell bent on striking down the ACA because it is Obama’s signature accomplishment. In their tiny little minds we should have never had a black man for president, so let’s erase his victories and pretend he never existed. The supreme irony is that is exactly what is going to happen to Donald J. Trump when he is finally evicted from the People’s House he has been squatting in (and trashing)....It is so mind boggling how uninformed and sheeplike the American right wing is. And these are the folks who are going to make America great again???? No wonder we’re not only in the toilet, but halfway to the sewer........

    There are conditions to everything but you don't have to prove them for a right, you do have to prove them for a privilege. To deprive a right you have to prove a condition was not met.

    She is endorsed by openly racist anti immigration group.

    She ruled against granting a green card to the wife of a naturalized citizen from Yemen. ICE had denied the request by claiming they had tried to smuggle their two children into the US. Although the couple provided absolute proof that the children tragically had died in an accident.

    A Trumper.

    2 years, 10 months, 23 days.

    This is how long Amy Coney Barrett has been a judge.

    It was October 31, 2017 when she was confirmed as a circuit judge for 1st judgeship.

    Does this seem a little light on experience?

    Can you guess who she was appointed by?

    White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is claiming that Amy Coney Barrett is a Rhodes scholar because she went to Rhodes college in Tennessee.

    'She also is a Rhodes scholar,' McEnany said of Trump's nominee. Barrett actually received her BA from Rhodes College in Tennessee.

    'You said Justice Barrett was a Rhodes scholar. I don't know if that's true,' Bloomberg's Justin Sink said to the press secretary.

    'That's what I have written here,' McEnany replied.
