One of the liberal law professors that Jerry Nadler tapped for a starring role in the Democrats' impeachment circus is already saying Judge Amy Coney Barrett deserves to be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
In an OpEd for Bloomberg, Harvard Law professor and Democrat impeachment witness Noah Feldman writes that he is "devastated" by former Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death and laments the fact that President Trump now gets to nominate a third Supreme Court justice during his first term in office. Despite his frustrations, Feldman admitted Judge Amy Coney Barrett is highly qualified to serve on the nation's highest court.
"I disagree with much of her judicial philosophy and expect to disagree with many, maybe even most of her future votes and opinions," Feldman wrote "Yet despite this disagreement, I know her to be a brilliant and conscientious lawyer who will analyze and decide cases in good faith, applying the jurisprudential principles to which she is committed. Those are the basic criteria for being a good justice. Barrett meets and exceeds them."
Feldman recalls meeting Barrett more than 20 years ago when both attorneys clerked for the Supreme Court in the 1998-99 term. Feldman says that out of all the thirty-some clerks, who graduated top of their law schools and came from all around the country, Barrett stood out the most.
It must be hard for a Harvard professor to admit this, but Feldman wrote that Barrett was the go-to person whenever Feldman needed help understanding extremely complex cases, "especially one involving hard-to-comprehend statutory scheme."
"This combination of smart and nice will be scary for liberals," Feldman warned.
The former impeachment witness said the judge's deep commitment to her faith and conservative jurisprudence should not be treated as disqualifying. Feldman knows the process is political and with Republicans in control of both the White House and the Senate, fully expects Trump's nominee to be confirmed.

Because Liberals are neither smart nor nice.
All FREEPERS need to see what Wardaddy posted!!!
My, how political ideology dominates what used to be any semblance of common sense among those offering commentary on such events!
I think it is time to stop calling them liberals. They are MARXISTS! We must not forget their ultimate goal.
Help us out and tell us which thread and post number.
Where’s the link
HERE SHE COMES....#42.
HERE SHE COMES #42
Here she didn’t.
WHAT?
Your post didn’t have a link in it.
I think most agree that she will decide based on law.
So, this guy is going to disagree with decisions based on law. I wonder what he does want the decisions based on.
I just hope she doesn’t end up being too nice, if you know what I mean.
I’m old

YOU ARE A LOVE. THANK YOU.
And the link to that must-see is.....?
Based on law? We have a metric shit ton of horrible liberty crushing laws. I want decisions based on the original intent and strict construction of our Constitution. Read the words and apply. If you do that roe v wade is clearly unconstitutional law yet she has stated RvW is settled president. She is not a conservative if she has said that. Prepare to be very disappointed.
It’s in post #16...
