Post Amy Barrett Supreme Court Nominee
Just read that her father was a big oil lawyer. He worked for Shell Oil in New Orleans there on Poydras all of his life. The father had no real-world legal experience. He was a corporate hack engrained with anti-environmental and big oil business ideology. She certainly absorbed all of that in her youth and adulthood and it will translate to her opinions on the bench if she is confirmed. Nothing there for the average American to be proud of. And she is a constitutional originalist. So the original constitution excluded blacks as human beings and relegated women to second class citizenship or as Borat would say, "Only bears and men ride inside of cars. Women on top." Being an originalist only means she will use the archaic language of the constitution to twist a decision to accommodate her core values. If she is confirmed the lives of women and the LGBT community will be for the next 40 years thrown back in time to second class status. The African American and other minority communities will be abused once again.

Abortion regulation like may issues - is and should be a State legislative issue....

The States have the right to control and regulate issues on abortion - Roe v Wade did not
guarantee an abortion at any moment a woman might choose to end a pregnancy....

Get over your imaginary indignations....

Let Democracy work....

Trouble is Democrats frankly don't like individual State democracy they want to dictate civic
policy nationwide.... But that is NOT what the Constitution says....

.......for a very long time. She will be the 3rd Justice for President Trump. What do you think are the odds of getting a fourth one during his second term? Maybe somebody of color? .....to replace Breyer. He’s likely the next one to kick the bucket. Dude is 82 years old. Talk about making Liberals cry!! Baaahahhhaahahahaha

why should trump select some one in his 30 days? It wasn't right for obama to do it but it is alright for the bully to do it?

Senate Democrats say they will boycott a committee hearing Thursday where Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination is set to move forward, a longshot attempt that is unlikely to stall the federal judge's confirmation to the high court.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to vote tomorrow afternoon on Barrett's confirmation to the high court, a vote that was expected to pass along party lines and send her nomination to the full Senate for a Monday vote — just eight days before Election Day.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Democrats on the committee said in a statement that they wouldn't show up on Thursday to grant these "sham" and rushed proceedings any legitimacy for a nominee that could "take away health care from millions and execute the extreme and deeply unpopular agenda" that Republicans have attempted for years.

"We will not grant this process any further legitimacy by participating in a committee markup of this nomination just twelve days before the culmination of an election that is already underway," the statement said.

Schumer noted on the Senate floor Wednesday evening that Democrats not appearing for the hearing would mean a quorum was not present and thus the committee would not be able to move forward on Barrett's nomination.

"The bottom line is very simple: We should not be moving forward on this nomination," Schumer said from the Senate floor.

The Senate Judiciary Committee's rules outline that at least nine members of the majority (Republicans) and at least two members of the minority (Democrats) need to be present to conduct business. The rules also state that nominations and bills can't move forward unless a "majority of the Committee is actually present at the time."

While Democrats boycotting the hearing would technically mean the committee's rules would bar Republicans from moving forward on Barrett's nomination, it's likely not to stop the process.

Sarah Binder, a political science professor at George Washington University and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, noted that "committee rules can't enforce themselves."

"Were a Democrat to raise a point of order in committee against proceeding, GOP majority could easily vote down the objection," she said on Twitter, noting that any attempt to enforce this rule would be quashed by Republicans who hold the majority.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, said the panel will move forward on voting with or without Democrats.

"Judge Barrett deserves a vote and she will receive a vote. Judge Barrett deserves to be reported out of committee and she will be reported out of committee. Judge Barrett deserves to be on the Supreme Court and she will be confirmed," the South Carolina Republican said. "As to my Democratic colleagues’ refusal to attend the markup, that is a choice they are making. I believe it does a disservice to Judge Barrett who deserves a vote, up or down."

Graham said he wasn't worried about the precedent it could set by going around the committee's rules on a quorum, telling reporters, "I worry about the game they're playing, and we’re not gonna. She deserves a vote."
