💟 A person’s sense of justice comes from a variety of sources including faith traditions and secular education. Being Catholic, Baptist, Evangelical Christian, Muslim, Jewish, other faith, agnostic or atheist doesn’t disqualify a person from or qualify them for public office

When it comes to judicial nominees, generally speaking I look at their written opinions and other public statements to predict how they might decide important cases.

Therefore, I do not support Amy Coney Barrett. However, there is no nominee put forward by Donald Trump who I would support. Ruth Bader Ginsburg should not be replaced until the inauguration.

This is about precedent and fairness. McConnell and other R senators said there was a rule about holding hearings and voting on a SCOTUS nominee during the last year of a president’s term in office. What was good for Obama and Merrick Garland, is good for any Trump nominee

Also, the voting in our election has already begun. Follow the Obama rule. Wait until January 20.
