The Heartlessness of Amy Coney Barrett’s Originalism

The nominee embraces originalism and claims it’s a neutral reading of the law. Here’s what that misses.
On Day Two of her confirmation hearing for a lifetime appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge Amy Coney Barrett laid down a few markers about her judicial approach: She would not say that Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Obergefell v. Hodges,
and Heller are “super”-precedents, because each is subject to challenges. She did claim that Brown v. Board of Education and Marbury v. Madison are settled law.

The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a nonpartisan, nonprofit group that came into existence in 1963 at the request of then-President John F. Kennedy, opposed Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.

In a 22-page report, the group said that while Judge Barrett is “competent to serve” on the Court, a thorough review of her authored opinions, legal articles, and statements showed that she failed to demonstrate “respect for the importance of protecting civil rights.”
“Judge Barrett’s record demonstrates that she is predisposed to side with law enforcement at the expense of defendants’ constitutional rights, and with employers and business interests in disputes with employees and consumers,” the report stated.

While she waited in line, she said, a woman recognized her as the wife of Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) and began yelling insults at her, including racist slurs.

“She said, ‘There’s that n-word that Fetterman married. You don’t belong here. No one wants you here. You don’t belong here,’” Fetterman, who was born in Brazil, said in an interview with The Washington Post.

“The fact that she was so comfortable and bold to just do it to my face with an audience … that was really scary,” Fetterman said.

How did he Save Christianity???
Walk on water?
Turn water into wine?
Part the seas?
Resurrect over 214,000 + dead?
Perform miracles & wonders
Heal the sick & blind?
Feed the poor & care for the suffering?
Wash the feet of his disciples?

Please explain in detail how your father saved Christianity @EricTrump

Since you're a theologian, please explain how biblical teachings; RE lepers were separated from the people due to disease & correlate to today's pandemic of social distancing...

@EricTrump Doesn't that "Good Book" say "God is a spirt" & you must worship him in spirit & in truth?

I don't recall that "Christian" book saying he lives in houses, churches & temples & therefore you must go to these places to worship him...especially during a pandemic.

Republicans Are Suddenly Afraid of Democracy

msn.com/en-us/news/opi…
Republicans who trashed checks and balances for four years in order to consolidate conservative power will suddenly rediscover them. Not to constrain presidential abuses, but to thwart the popular will—first by trying to send the election to legislatures and courts and then,
failing that, by blocking every move of a Democratic president and Congress.

Biden and his vice-presidential nominee, Senator Kamala Harris, should remind voters that Republicans, not Democrats, have turned the Senate into a body that produces no legislation
