Chuck Schumer hits Supreme Court contender Amy Coney Barrett over abortion, Obamacare

Washington Examiner ^

Man, if he’s singling out a specific judge, Schumer must both fear her greatly and have some info about her chances of being selected. This abortion thing feels tailor-made for the Susan Collins-type of the Republicans in the Senate.

Before Trump’s Election, Amy Barrett Said She Was Worried About Both Trump And Clinton Picking SCOTUS Justices

>> They are already starting the attack on her.

The Democrat Thug Party’s war on women.

My initial impression ... This isn’t the right time for Barrett.
She’s on YouTube ... lotta info. Impressive judge
Fwiw

[Impy]

Joan Larsen may be the go to. She was confirmed rather easily to the Appellate Court and is only 3 years older.

[GonzoII]

This is the woman democrats/FReepers fear the most. They are already starting the attack on her.

[GonzoII]

Dems should be careful, a Harvard professor commenting on her abilities said she’s “scary smart”, this woman can hold her own

[Political Junkie Too]

I don't know much about the specifics of these people, but I do expect a pre-emptive psyops war to make Trump's most threatening choices appear to be the most unacceptable.

Also look for the corresponding stories pushing the candidates that are deemed acceptable to the Left, with supporting polls to astroturf the public.

As with any other breaking news, I won't rely on the early reporting to have any veracity at all.

My money is on Kavanaugh, with Barrett a close second.

[NorthMountain]

[T]he DC parents’ forum seems to consist primarily of foul minded, poisonous leftists.

[NorthMountain]

I guess she's not worried any more: he nominated her for the federal bench, and made sure she got confirmed.

Barrett: I'm worried about who Trump might pick ...

Trump: You were right to worry. I'm picking YOU!

[AuH2ORepublican]

Your strategy makes sense, but since Larsen wasn’t one of the four judges with whom Trump met, I don’t think that it will be her (unless there’s a second round of meetings).

And I agree that 49 certainly isn’t too old.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

They are already starting the attack on her.

A red herring by Trump to get the usual Dem suspects into this mode before the games begin?

[campaignPete R-CT]

2nd round coming up

In my mind, Hardiman ... Kettledge look like solid candidates

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

they are just scared because Gloria Alred won’t be able to dig up 3 or 4 women to falsely claim they were raped by her....

[I want the USA back]

Good. Means she is eminently qualified and needs to be confirmed.

She was a clerk to Antonin Scalia. Good. This will make up for the democrats having him killed.

[Kickass Conservative]

Chuckie thinks POTUS Trump is bluffing a Straight while he is really holding a Full House.

[plushaye]

So the attacks begin. Schumer knows. Collins probably blabbed. President Trump already met with Collins/Murkowski to see who they would support and rumor is it’s Judge Amy. On the other thread, I talked about the great ‘optics’ choice she would be for our side - young, beautiful, scary smart law prof, Catholic, Scalia clerk, constitution-textualist (Scalia influence), mother-of-7!

There’s another angle. She’s the evangelical and catholic choice, and would energize the base before the midterms. I think the smart money would be on her.
