I believe Trump passed over Barrett because she hasn’t been at the appellate court level long enough to build a track record as a Federal judge that would demonstrate her legal philosophy.
I agree with ‘not been a judge long enough’ but in addition Barrett was a very important add for the 7th Circuit and until we have a better situation in the Senate she should stay there. I do think this November that there will be a significant pick up in Senate seats. I think the dems have really started to show their socialist true colors and #walkaway etc. are having an effect.
