It will be nice to have one woman in the majority when the Supreme Court finally overturns Roe v. Wade.

Plus a female nominee makes it hard for bleeding-hearts Collins and Murkowski to oppose
If Bloomberg is supporting her - then NO.
This is not going to be a popular thing to say here, but abortion is considered by 79% of the country to be legal. If Trump appoints a judge who overturns that decision the GOP will lose, the Democrats will win decisively, and the limits currently on abortion will be lost, quickly.

“makes it hard for bleeding-hearts Collins and Murkowski to oppose”
I’d like to believe that. I really would.
Exactly!! Automatic dis-qualifier.
Bloomberg is not supporting her. The article is from the Evansville Courier. Barrett is from Indiana. She clerked for Anthony Scalia.
Never build a policy on the squishy, amoral middle.
See my post number seven.

No, it would not.
The Justice should not be elected based on skin color, ethnicity or sex. Identity politics is deranged nonsense invented by the left to make themselves feel better since they feel guilty for just being alive.

It should be considered by 100% of the country to be legal - because it IS legal.
That doesn’t mean it’s right (it’s not - it’s murder), but who can deny that it’s legal?
Not too much on her conservative principles and values. We don’t want any more faux conservatives likely to sucumb to identity politics.
Of the five on the (reported) short list, Judge Barrett is my favorite for one simple reason.
Brett Kavanaugh, 53; Amul Thapar, 49; Amy Coney Barrett, 46; Thomas Hardiman, 52; Raymond Kethledge, 51. She is three or more years younger than the others, and women tend to live longer than men. Assuming all five are equally qualified, and in particular that they have demonstrated a sustained philosophical support for originalism, she’s likely to have two more presidential terms on the bench in which to protect the rule of law than any of the others.
RBG is 85, and Breyer is 79. That very likely means at least two more nominees for President Trump, more if he gets to replace an originalist with a younger originalist. Imagine SCOTUS in the 2024 election with 6 of 9 younger Justices appointed by President Trump, plus the squish, Roberts, plus Kagan, plus the Wise Latina (or not, if she fails to keep her diabetes under control). America’s enemies will be two or more decades from regaining any influence in that venue.
Wow, a non-homosexual women who believes in family. What will the Democrats do?
Warren was a dolt, it was bad law ( W.F. Buckley pontificated about it for years ) and none the less, it is now become engrained in our culture on steroids that it is some new constitutional right that our founders forgot about. Yes if overturned it will raise heck. What will have to happen is a heart and sea change in peoples minds as to what this is, and they don't want it occurring anymore, G-d only knows when that will happen.....
Just a wild @$$ guess here, but medical technology maybe the solution. Fetus transplants to those that can't conceive and transplant to those who wants a baby. We thought Star Trek was crazy with all the devices and other than the beaming we have them. We transplant everything else, why not this....
She’s 45, clerked for Scalia, and was confirmed just last year for the seventh circuit. It will be hard for democrats to claim she’s unqualified.
Let’s not go down the path of relitigating abortion. Republicans will lose and have lost that one.
DO you have any idea how expensive a procedure like that would be? Who is going to pay for all these transplants?
What is her views on 2nd amendment? On immigration or, rather presidential authority? On commerce clause?
No more women!
