I can tell you as an attorney licensed in 3 states that has not been my personal experience. Could also be dependent on which states we are referring to, however. It could also be a difference in specialty.

Well, bottom line, arguing someone lacks judicial experience when they have been a judge for 14 consecutive years is an absurdity. Murkowski and Collins also voted to confirm Kagan who was never a judge.

God's word is offense to the flesh, the carnal mind being enmity with God.

The fact is Scripture "groups all women together".

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Eph. 5:22-24.

Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
1 Peter 3:1-6.

admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
Titus 2:2-5

Etc., etc...

The Women's Movement is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil where the serpent still deceives Eve. Have you been deceived?

Still very risky political move by Trump - seemingly short-term gain to help win the election (unnecessary for Trump to win - he’s already bagged it - probably in a landslide - he’s listening to some bad advice IMO) with a good chance of bad long-term results.

Women are notorious for being equivocal (”woman’s right to change her mind”) even more than men.

“Turn Left Upon Entering the Supreme Court” is the rule. Is she the exception? Hiring a woman here is not the best idea IMO.

Oh, or God’s sake. I said lacks FEDERAL judicial experience. It’s not a disqualifier by any means, but can be used as an excuse for a senate fence-sitter to vote NAY on confirmation.

“Murkowski and Collins also voted to confirm Kagan who was never a judge.”

Collins and Murkowski were not fence-sitters on Kagan; they both thought she was just grand.

You claimed that Collins and Murkowski would vote against her for supposed “lack of judicial experience” after being a judge for 14 years when Kagan who they supported had zero.

Nope. I'm a homemaking traditionalist conservative & Christian caring for my wounded warrior husband. We can't have children, but I would certainly love to. I don't recall the Bible ever saying a woman was banned from being a judge or holding elective office or stating her own opinions. I just simply disagree with the idea that a female is incapable of standing for right & wrong all on her own. The most important roles in a woman's life should be being a wife & mother. Likewise, the most important roles in a man's life should be being a husband & father. Just as much as the women's movement has sabotaged women generally with their Marxist thinking- so too has the modern male ethos strayed from its original role. Modernism has infected both genders & made them stray from the path. All I'm saying is that you are way too concerned about the gender of the judge. You should accept a traditionalist, conservative fellow traveler as an ally- no matter their form. In case you haven't noticed- you aren't capable of a majority all on your own 🤔

I care about the truth.

I think I’m in good company.

She probably would be if she were to replace Ruth Ginsberg.

No excuse for women to abandon their God-given roles as homemakers and lovers of their husband and children.

Likewise...


There is no excuse for men to abandon their God-given roles as home protectors and lovers of their OWN wife and children.

Elsie, my history with you has made me feel like you are not a goof faith poster. Maybe I’m wrong. I’ll try this. If nothing back in good faith form you, I’ll move on.

Women en masse change the subject of and excuse their rebellion to flaws in the man. But the Bible does not say so.

The woman and wife is subject to the husband and the man unequivocally (barring abuse), and the man is to love the wife unequivocally, but all in the Lord. It simply cannot be done outside of reliance, trust and surrender to the Lord.

But the issue of the day, as it was at the beginning, is the rebellion of today’s Eve to which today’s Adam is acquiescing as in the beginning. The decrepit and bloody Women’s Movement has deceived today’s Eve like the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil did then. And today’s Adam goes along with it as he did before.

Among other things, the satanic Women’s Movement has turned mothers into murders of their own children.

Humble repentance to the Lord (not to man) is desperately needed. I pray it will happen soon. I have reason to believe it will. The prodigal son (in this case daughter but also son) need to come to herself (and himself) and return in humility to the Lord. What a blessed day that will be. The stoppage of the bloodshed of the slaughter of innocents will be a banner day in America.

That’s “good faith” which means you stick to the subject and reasonably attack my rationale with a supportable argument of your own, not ad hominems, deflections, and subject-changing like the Left.

Lack of FEDERAL judicial experience. They could use that as an EXCUSE to vote NAY on her nomination. Think about it: Murkowski voted NAY on Kavanaugh because she feared how he might rule on Roe v. Wade, and her Nay vote had nothing to do with the scandalous allegations of “gang rape” and the other absurdities; Collins voted AYE on Kavanaugh, but reluctantly. But Collins was not up for re-election during the Kavanaugh vote, but she IS up for re-election on the Barrett vote (or whomever Trump would have nominated); and because Collins has a very good chance of losing her re-election race she would more than likely cast a confirmation vote AGAINST a nominee who might oppose Roe v. Wade.

No. You are on a conservative website that allows its readers to take part in reading, posting, advocating & actively pursuing a conservative philosophy in all spheres of life: political, moral, cultural, economic, religious, educational, artistic& on & on. One of the basic things we all want is a government that represents & defends our values & ideas. Most of us are keenly aware that in order to succeed in that endeavor, we have to persuade others who are unsure of our what they believe in to give our ideas a chance. I don't have a problem at all that you gave mega traditional ideas about what gender roles should be. I agree with you in most ways. But when it comes to elective office & roles in government, we have to somehow put together a majority of people to elect & uphold those values- & I can promise you, not supporting an ultra conservative woman because you think she should be barefoot & pregnant wont get us there 🤦🏼

barefoot & pregnant

The 60's hippie image that brought us the Women's Movement and "justified" the bloody infanticide of tens of millions of the innocent unborn.

Among other things, the satanic Women’s Movement has turned mothers who should be loving and caring for their husbands and children instead into murders of their own children.

To the degree you're sympathetic to that cause, to that degree you complicit in the mass murder of the innocents, and are a useful idiot of the Left regardless if you're on a conservatives website or not.

Honey. I am pro life in all instances & fully opposed to the women's movement. I'm on this site because I am extremely right wing on every issue you could think of & need someplace honest to get news. I was raised listening to Rush Limbaugh on a daily basis & I'm just old enough to remember seeing Ronald Reagan when I was little. I don't believe anything the women's movement or the left puts forward. How you get that is puzzling. I seriously don't grasp whats so troubling about somebody agreeing with your point of view. It's like you lack an ability to reason. You hear me say "I agree with your views, but maybe don't lead with the women stuff. It may be true, but it's not the best selling feature for our side".....and what do you take away from it- "she must be a left wing women's movement person". Are you not grasping that I'm critiquing how it will come across on the current political stage. I'm not disagreeing with your moral view. 🙄🤷🏼

“But that hardly means that all women should be discounted due to that. If you use that logic, than any male will be perfect.”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3887748/posts?page=138#138

Hardly makes sense - a non-sequitur.

“your attitude to group all women together & label them as monolithic is offensive”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3887748/posts?page=160#160

Off track scripturally.

“In case you haven’t noticed- you aren’t capable of a majority all on your own”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3887748/posts?page=168#168

Completely off point.

“you think she should be barefoot & pregnant”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3887748/posts?page=176#176

Cheap shot and off point.

“I’m not disagreeing with your moral view.”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3887748/posts?page=178#178

Coulda fooled me.

Isn't this what I said?  “There is no excuse for men to abandon their God-given roles as home protectors and lovers of their OWN wife and children.”

And MM added: "... and providers for their family."




 
 
That’s “good faith” which means you stick to the subject and reasonably attack my rationale with a supportable argument of your own, not ad hominems, deflections, and subject-changing like the Left.

This is a reasonable request.

I'll try to keep from bringing personalities into it, or saying, "LOOK; a SQUIRREL!", or pointing out we are going to be getting some much needed rain today.


Oh; I also won't be pre-judging anyone on the basis of what many others have done in the past (although that might be a good way to bet.)

 

And the odds are very great that this woman will do what countless other have done in the past - Turn Left Upon Becoming A Supreme Court Justice - to which women are especially susceptible.
