Media assault on Amy Coney Barrett begins as Trump weighs decision

Coney Barrett facing criticism from Dems over her religion

On 'Fox News @ Night,' panel debates the potential Supreme Court pick's popularity with religious conservatives.

A media campaign has erupted against Amy Coney Barrett, even though President Trump hasn’t actually nominated her to the Supreme Court.

Barrett is clearly the front-runner, having spent a second straight day at the White House as the president moves toward his Saturday announcement. And of course there should be substantial scrutiny of her record if she’s picked, given that replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a lifetime appointment.

But there are early signs this is going to be ugly, and that her religion will be front and center. That subject came up in 2017 when the Senate approved her as a federal appeals court judge in Chicago.

Newsweek jumped on the judge with a smear that turned out to be factually wrong.

Barrett is a devout Catholic, and the magazine described her (as previous profiles have) as a member of People of Praise, “the charismatic Christian parachurch organization, which was founded in South Bend, Indiana in 1971, teaches that men have authority over their wives. Members swear a lifelong oath of loyalty to one another and are expected to donate at least 5 percent of their earnings to the group.”

So she should be disqualified because of her religious affiliation? Isn’t that the essence of anti-Catholic prejudice?

Skip the hearings altogether and go straight to a vote. The circus is unnecessary.

“The LEFT is UGLY on the INSIDE AND OUTSIDE! “

The Left is EVIL, inside and out. And they serve the father of EVIL.

Our president doesn’t do what the media expects him to do. It wouldn’t surprise me if he lets the Democrats and the media froth at the mouth over ACB and, then, announces another nominee that no one expected. We will see...

Funny, Omar burning down everything with the “fuel of her religion” doesn’t seem to be a problem for anyone...

Hopefully next, “Robert’s to resign as evidence reveals he was blackmailed to support liberal positions. “

“and, then, announces another nominee that no one expected. We will see...”

I’m for Britt Grant or Tom Cotton.

If you want to LOL about insane left-wing bias about the SCOTUS candidates check out this site. I didn’t actually SEE the words, “poopy face”, but I expect they’re there somewhere.

Whoever Trump picks will be far and away better than anyone the DemocRats would choose.

Just look at Bye-Done’s list to see what I mean.

No, wait...

Shannon on Fox just said there is gonna be a fight for the supreme court appointment... since when does it HAVE to be a fight...

Put the stinking fight in you and get down and as far as the dems go to win... you go to make them lose!! make it short and make it fast.

our side is too polite and too nice to those who do not earn it... give it hard and give it as if you know what you are doing..

yeah.. I have had it today... I want the stinkin other side to lose in the first round..I want the cities and businesses to be restored and those accountable to be held and imprisoned.

Well maybe so. But Trump has been itching to nominate her. In fact he was quoted as saying he was saving her for RGBs seat when it came available.

What part of “no religious test” do these bigoted Demonicrats not understand?

AMY CONIN BARRETT is a Roman Catholic, not like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, etc. She is a real Catholic, not like those phonies. She adheres to all the beliefs of the Church, not just the ones that are not on the platform of the democrats.
