I don't know enough about Amy Coney Barrett to have an opinion on her for the USSC, but the difference between the twitter impression and the Wikipedia impression is remarkable
Probably the biggest problem with her is that she's somewhat young and hasn't spent much time on the 7th circuit, which means there's less opinion to scrutinize and that she could be on the Supreme Court for decades
What people seem to love or hate about her is that she's a very devoted conservative Catholic in her personal life, but frankly she seems to have handled concerns about that just about as well as anyone could be expected to: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Coney…
This is the discussion that should be happening
