Any and all opposition to her would be sexist and misogynistic and an insult to the #metoo and #bringbackourgirls movements.

Same as the first amendment. To them, it’s about protecting leftist speech but persecuting speech. They are only against activism when it’s their ox being gored (of course overturning Roe wouldn’t be activism, but you get the point)

NUKE the next pro-2A, pro-life SC justice in.

I wanna see Chuck Schumer AND Nancy Pelosi go ballistic.

Further, Maxine Waters can scream “PEACH FOWTY-FIFE!!”

I hate to tell you Chucky, but a plurality of people don't like you, and the same number of people who DO like you are on par with the people who have no idea who you are.

Per a recent Gallup poll...

House Speaker Paul Ryan House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer
% % % %
Favorable 40 29 24 29
Unfavorable 45 53 50 44
Unknown/No opinion 15 18 26 28
Net favorable -5 -24 -26 -15
Gallup, June 1-13, 2018

These data are from a Gallup poll conducted June 1-13, 2018, which also found that Americans know the two members of the House better than they do the two senators. Fewer than two in 10 Americans have no opinion of Ryan (15%) or Pelosi (18%), but more than one-quarter do not have an impression of Senators McConnell (26%) and Schumer (28%).

The last time Gallup measured opinions of all four leaders was April 2017. Although Ryan's net favorable rating has since remained roughly the same, Americans' assessments of the other three leaders have worsened significantly. In April 2017, Ryan's net favorable image rating was -7, Pelosi's was -14, McConnell's was -17 and Schumer's was -5.

The current net favorable rating for McConnell is the historical worst for him since Gallup's first reading in 2010, and Pelosi's is close to her -27 record worst in October 2010.

Separate, but equal needs to return in a modernized format.

Separate the liberal progressives and their ilk from our families. Just think of the benefits:

1. No more radical school teachers warping your kids’ minds.

2. No more dangerous public restrooms with lurking men, trash, dirty needles, people bathing in the sinks, etc.

3. Dining out in peace without being accosted by random stalker nutbags.

4. No more fits and SJW performing protest stunts at NFL games- you could actually watch THE game minus the fist pumping or twerking in the end zone.

5. They will continue to populate rat-infested cities and destroy them as we live in carved out niches of suburbia and the vast remainder of the country.

Separate but Equal could lead to peace among us. They continue to eventually dance off the cliffs in their destructive ways, but we are able to watch as spectators, as opposed to being drug into their complete cultural demise.

Are they using reverse psychology to trick Donald into picking her?

They want activist judges. They just plain love it when they strike down laws as unconstitutional. As for stare decisis and respecting precedent, is he saying the Warren Court should have stood on Plessy vs. Ferguson in their ruling on Brown vs. Board of Ed?

Projection by liberals again. Since THEY are activist judges, they project that activism on everyone else.

Barrett would be my choice in a few years with a more solid appellate court record under her - but I love the smell of leftist heads exploding - it smells like, sniff, sniff, Victory.

It’s doubtful Donald Trump will let himself get pushed around to the extent of delegating to Chuck Schumer the right to choose his Supreme Court nominee.

What will happen if Mrs. Barrett is chosen?

Chuck Schumer and the Democrats will go particularly berserk; they will turn into a bunch of hysterical Maxine Walterses; and their borking of Mrs. Barrett at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings will repel the vast majority of Americans, many to the point of going out of their way to vote for Republicans in November in order to restore basic civility to our national government.

Every foolish over-the-top attack on Donald Trump’s nominee will serve as a comic one-liner for Trump to deliver later with full scorn at his rallies around the country, bringing down the house.

Let the fun begin.

That’s the DC parents’ forum discussion on Amy Barrett as a scotus pick.

Thanks for the tell, Dims!

“...Here’s where she stands on Americans’ big issues...”

Yeah, because, clearly, allowing the murder of infants in the womb is a “big issue” to most Americans...

Democrats really are Ghouls. Why we put up with them any longer is beyond me.

We should treat them they way OBunghole and the rest treated us when they were in power.

Namely, “Sit Down, Shut the F*** up, we’re in charge, now suck on it while the adults get things done.”
