Trump Just Buttoned Up 2020 With Amy Coney Barrett Nomination

Last Updated March 4, 2021 2:45 PM

Democrats are still beside themselves with frustration over the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing. Judge Amy Coney Barrett is to all appearances, the polar opposite of the notorious RGB. She clerked for Antonin Scalia near the end of the Clinton years. Her legal philosophy emphasizes “strict constructionism” or “originalism” above all.

So over the weekend, HBO’s John Oliver fumed at Barrett’s ascension to the high court. He called it a “[expletive] tragedy” and a “dark week” for America :

We’re at the end of a generational battle and the heartbreaking thing is — we lost. It’s going to hurt for a long time for a lot of people.

Judge Barrett's confirmation would move the nation dramatically right for a generation. https://t.co/EzSEIq8IHh

65 million American Catholics are going to be very interested to learn that @JoeBiden ’s Democrats think they can’t be trusted to serve as judges or in public office if they’re “too Catholic” – Democrat bigotry on full display with #AmyConeyBarrett

Supreme Court decisions affect our everyday lives, and the Constitution was designed to give voters a voice on who makes those decisions.

The Senate shouldn't act until after the American people select their next president and the next Congress.

Americans deserve to be heard.
