Amy Coney Barrett is the Perfect Nominee for this Moment in Time

“Fainting Felon” is clever, but she’ll always be PIAPS to me.

[Jim W N]

Politically correct but substantively a woman Supreme Court Justice is a disaster.

[canuck_conservative]

Maybe Barrett will break the pattern.

Just can’t go on with all the SC women on the leftists’ side, the optics are awful, and it’s a tire iron that Democrats and their Media pals will always use to bash us.

Why can’t there be strong conservative women on the SC?

[SarahPalin2012]

Barrett is probably good, but for this seat, “probably” is not good enough.

[Arm_Bears]

Three words: Sandra Day O’Connor

[grania]

I so disagree. Give her time in her relatively new position to see how her conservative, pro-Constitution views hold up. As someone else on FR pointed out last week, when Ginsburg goes (one way or another) the outcry will be for a female to replace her. It’s best to save the best female for that point, who might or might not be Barrett.

[fritzthecat]

She may be qualified but please tell me of one past or existing female SCOTUS justice that was not a liberal. The three existing female SCOTUS justices would, I believe, influence her enough that she would “grow in office.”

[Sacajaweau]

Insufficient experience...

[bigbob]

So are FReepers who have a bias against women.

[PSUGOP]

Hardiman. Has experience Barrett lacks today, but will have when Ginsberg goes. Fav of Trump’s sister, was on short list last time which is why he was not interviewed this time around. Uncontentious nomination.

This will be a tough pick to get through. Next time it will be easy.

[richardtavor]

Clinton is “leaking” her impending Presidential run (again). I hope the Democrats fall for it (again), and have her suck all of the oxygen out of their campaigns.

[browniexyz]

Trump will definitely have the opportunity to do this then.

I have been so sickened at the public attacks on conservative women — Ivanka, DeVos, Sanders, Melania — I can’t stand the upcoming spectacle if Barrett is appointed.

But perhaps Trump will enjoy the optics of all the fem libs coming to pummel her.

[Jamestown1630]

There are some men on FR who believe that “strong conservative women” don’t exist. They think women are, by nature, weak in principle and intellect.

I don’t know anything about this judge, but some of the knee-jerk misogyny here is laughable.

I agree with you

[Brilliant]

I ageee she would be the best choice but I am not sure she’s confirmable. And if she fails then there will be no time before the election for plan B.

[agere_contra]

We MUST have a strong constitutionalist on the SC.

Does she qualify?

Literally nothing else matters.

[novemberslady]

Either way, if Barrett is the nominee, I will still be very excited.

"they will have people coming out of the woodwork to accuse them of sexual harassment or some other sorts of wrongdoing from many years ago that cannot be proven or disproven. For this simple reason alone, the President should pick Judge Barrett to fill this seat. As we saw during the 2016 election campaign, it is just too easy for the Democrats to go out and pay a woman or ten women to claim they had affairs or were sexually harassed by a male nominee."

Well, that's it then. Only women will be appointed to the Supreme Court from now on. The children of newer arrivals around the east and west coasts have spoken. Besides, Democrats know about the "woman's prerogative" and tendency. And they're banking on it.

[tennmountainman]

True. There will be no time. However, that could work in our favor in
a massive get out the vote in the coming election to insure we have more
Senators who can confirm after the election.
