Senate Hearings for Judge Barrett SCOTUS Nominee starts Mon Oct 12 2020 9am

The Senate hearing phase of the Supreme Court Nominee Judge Amy Barrett begins Monday Oct 12 2020 at 9am Eastern Time.

It's gonna get hot as Democrats have been foaming at the mouth and shouting and screaming and even telling some lies about how this Constitutional process works legally.

Judge Barret is considered a Conservative.

Democrats want everything on hold until after the election Nov 3rd.

Some have claimed it's not legal but it is.

The current Senate is in session (aka power) until early January.

The current President is in Power until Jan 20th.

Sour grapes dominate the MSM hissy fits as Trump has chalked up 3 SCOTUS nominees so far !!

Big controversies over Roe vs Wade (the abortion law) and over the ACA which has already been chopped up by the courts (incl the SCOTUS)

Other "issues" will be taken up by Senators like her Religion (Catholic) and who knows what else like energy and climate issues.

Lets hope the 3 Fumbling Californians (Feinstein, Harris, Pelosi) don't set up a fake smear like they did with Kavanaugh !!


Her Opening Statement is published.... Velly Intalesting !

President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, released the text of her opening remarks ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing on Monday.

Barrett was nominated by President Trump to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last month.

Barrett’s confirmation hearings are scheduled to take place before the Senate Judiciary Committee starting on Monday, October 12, at 9:00 a.m. and continuing through Thursday, October 15.

"Sauce" for the Goose ..

Judge Amy Coney Barrett is set to give a glimpse of her judicial philosophy as her Supreme Court confirmation hearing begins in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday.

"Courts have a vital responsibility to enforce the rule of law, which is critical to a free society," Barrett is set to say in her opening statement. "But courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life. The policy decisions and value judgments of government must be made by the political branches elected by and accountable to the People. The public should not expect courts to do so, and courts should not try."

Senate Hearings for Judge Barrett SCOTUS Nominee starts Mon Oct 12 2020 9am

Wonder if she'll get the Kavanugh treatment.

Monday is the day when all 20 Senators on the Judiciary Committee get 10 minutes each, to praise Amy Coney-Barrett, or perform their usual "Orange Man Bad!" routine.

Justice2b Barrett cannot speak until after the 20 Senators have finished. Probably not before 5pm.

I want to see what happens when (not if) someone decides to challenge Barrett's religious views. Lindsey Graham has already said that is unconstitutional and there will be "hell to pay" when (not if) they try it.

Barrett is in the house, along with her family. This should be interesting, watching the Democrats show their hatred of religion ("She's too Catholic!") and minorities ("She adopted Haitian children!").

Wow, I didn’t realize it had started so early, hopefully this will be a quick confirmation process. This is a pretty big deal and I am glad the whole of GOP is behind this process. This is what they were voted for, get to work.

She was already confirmed to the lower courts.

This is just more theatre, in my humble opinion.

Finally it begins.. I wonder if Shea Lebouf will claim Barrett attacked him in a back alley and raped him.

Hours of Democrats showing their true hatefulness.

So far Feinstein went after her for her opposition to the ACA. Somehow she still thinks that was a good idea?

TheRedneck

Someone please remind Leahy that the nomination didn't occur until after Justice Ginsberg was laid to rest, specifically out of respect? He seems to have forgotten.

TheRedneck

For those about to abuse themselves, thank you for taking the hit to keep the rest of us in the loop.

C'mon man! Republican Presidents are only elected for three years.

Sen. Leahy...on remote...sounds like he's got the Covid.

Notice the Dems have the same talking points? That memo circulating among Dems to throw in key excerpts.

Pretty gross, but they all come off the same, people notice, people talk.

One things for sure, the contrast is stark. Hoping a Dem realizes this farce and breaks ranks, that would be a career highlight.

Well if you listen to the news the state of Illinois seems like being a state of emergency with the colvin 19 virus attacking like one out of three people so it's it is possible he may be afflicted with the coronavirus.

Yeah, it seems they have decided to focus on the ACA and the Merrick Garland nomination. Apparently they paid heed to Graham's warning about bringing up her religion.

TheRedneck

So far lots of ACA reeeee! from the dems.

And the longer the process takes, the longer Kamala is off the road and old Joe has to work alone. Not that anyone shows up when they are together anyway like in...Arizona, was it?


Enjoy the show Dems, Trump don’t care how long you take to confirm ACB.

Why are they being mean to the nice lady?
Should she have worn her pink hat?

Democrats know that ACA is unconstitutional.
