Trump's Supreme Court frontrunners: A mother of seven who adopted two children from Haiti and belongs to a Christian sect that inspired The Handmaid's Tale - and a Cuban American whose father was stopped from becoming a lawyer by Castro
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 20 2020

President Donald Trump's announced Saturday night that the Supreme Court nominee he plans to announce next week to fill the vacancy left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be a woman, spotlighting two conservative women as his potential pick.

During a campaign rally in North Carolina, Trump declared 'I will be putting forth a nominee this week, it will be a woman', later adding his pick would be a 'very talented, very brilliant woman' because 'I like women more than I like men'.

As he left the White House for the rally, the president identified two women as front runners: Amy Coney Barrett, 48, of the Chicago-based 7th Circuit and Barbara Lagoa, 52, of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit as possible nominees.

Atwood did not say she based it on Catholicism. This is what she said in 1990.

-

Her tale draws on details and artifacts from history and from many cultures. References, descriptions and borrowings include a Berlin-type wall, slave-breeding practices, chemical pollutants that affect human reproduction, Government birth and enforced-abortion decrees that draw from similar rules in Romania and China and codes of puritanical religious conduct that are found in fundamentalist Iran, Quaker Pennsylvania and 17th-century New England, where an ancestor of Miss Atwood’s was once sentenced to hang as a witch. The white hood placed over the head of those being hanged in her tale is derived from 19th-century Canadian executions.

Yes, People of Praise.

It arose in the wake of the second Vatican Council.

Best article I’ve found so far is the following (it’s the Wash. Compost, but it actually plays things pretty strsight, surprisingly):

So-called Charismatic Movement. I have zero use for it, personally. Your mileage may vary. Some assembly required. (Just kidding!) OGINJ

Barnes is a big time gambler and usually backs his predictions with his money.

The program he does on People’s Pundit Daily is called “What are the odds?”

Great, they are pro life.

Which one of them are rock-ribbed 2nd amendment supporters?

Do they support queer marriage? Affirmative action? Property rights?

I would rather have Ted Cruz or a man that don’t base thinks on ‘feelings’.

38 years old vs 48 years old. Both good ages but 38 would give a long time on the bench.

Hope they are also checking their medical records and health lineage.

Or to be more fair, British media does not like Christianity.

Neither one is 38. I believe the ages are 48 and 52.

Second Amendment
In Kanter v. Barr, 919 F.3d 437 (7th Cir. 2019),[51] Barrett wrote a lengthy dissent in favor of gun-ownership rights for felons.[51] Barrett stated that while the government has a legitimate interest in denying gun possession to felons convicted of violent crimes, there is no evidence that denying guns to nonviolent felons promotes this interest, and that denying such rights is a violation of the Second Amendment.[52]

British media also has a sense of humour, and the Brits like their humour dry. I suspect that the writer is parodying the outlandish attacks that can be expected on the nominees and Trump and Americans can’t see the dry wit.

(I am American born, and on one line have Mayflower blood, but have spent the bulk of the last 3 decades in Ontario-—and also remember well my great grandfather who was from London Eng).

Knowing how Trump operates...its gonna be a black woman.

It’s perfect.

ACB is a jab...the dems are in overdrive doing research on her....and his pick will be an uppercut....a knock out blow.

They painted themselves into a corner with Trumps brush and paint.

BLM this!!!

I think that Barrett’s answer is brilliant.

Realize that the dictates of Rome are a lot more complex than the latest lukewarm distillation of them that has been spewn out of the mouth of a Roman official, and Barrett knows that.

I NEVER think of Catholics as conservatives. Their Pope is a Communist. . .

I suggest you think again. Nothing is more conservative than an institution so old and rooted that the occasional nutcase (looking at you, Holy Father) has no power to "fundamentally transform" it.

Human nature is flawed and blessed, and Popes and Presidents come and go. Only God, who joins His Sacrifice to ours, has the power to fundamentally transform anything--starting with our souls--and welcome us home.
