Really proud of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. She will be confirmed and make an excellent Supreme Court justice. If you want more like her committed to protecting our God-given rights under the Constitution, don’t vote Democrat. Re-elect Trump-Pence and a GOP Senate.

"Barrett's statement on originalism leading off the hearing was one of the strongest statements in modern history." Jonathan Turley

Barrett's statement on originalism leading off the hearing was one of the strongest statements in modern history. The statement that meaning "does not change" with time is unambiguous and open. That confirms the transformative impact of this nomination for the Court at the outset

— Senate Republicans (@SenateGOP) October 13, 2020

"Judge Amy Coney Barrett "has received extraordinary testimonials from her colleagues and students, who say she is brilliant, conscientious and kind," Rich Lowry writes in the New York Post.

" "The opposition has countered with a dog's breakfast of nonsense, including that her confirmation hearing can't be held in the middle of a pandemic." Meanwhile, "the Senate Judiciary Committee has already been holding hybrid in-person and virtual hearings all year. There is no reason the committee can't do the same with Barrett next week." "

West Wing Reads

The Republicans are giving the Democrats a great deal of time, which is not mandated, to make their self serving statements relative to our great new future Supreme Court Justice. Personally, I would pull back, approve, and go for STIMULUS for the people!!!

 Amy Coney Barrett to tell senators: Courts 'should not try' to make policy

"Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett will tell senators that courts "should not try" to make policy, leaving those decisions to the political branches of government, according to opening remarks for her confirmation hearing obtained Sunday by The Associated Press.

"The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, set to begin begin Monday as the coronavirus pandemic sweeps across the country, are taking place three weeks before Election Day and after millions of Americans already have voted. President Donald Trump nominated the federal appeals court judge soon after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died.

" "I have been nominated to fill Justice Ginsburg's seat, but no one will ever take her place," Barrett will tell the committee, according to her opening remarks.

"Barrett says she has resolved to maintain the same perspective as her mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who was "devoted to his family, resolute in his beliefs, and fearless of criticism." " (cont'd)

"She speaks extensively of her family in the statement, and says she will never let the law define her identity or crowd out the rest of her life. She says a similar principle applies to the courts, which 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," she says. "The public should not expect courts to do so, and courts should not try."

 The left is depending on insults and lies in its bid to stop Amy Coney Barrett

"The Supreme Court fight of the century is, so far, a fizzle.

"The ratio of progressive outrage over the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to supposed reasons the US Senate shouldn't confirm her is completely out of whack — there's a surfeit of the former and almost none of the latter.

"Barrett has received extraordinary testimonials from her colleagues and students, who say she is brilliant, conscientious and kind. The opposition has countered with a dog's breakfast of nonsense, including that her confirmation hearing can't be held in the middle of a pandemic — when the Senate has continued its business since the pandemic began.

 Cotton's initiative will track attacks on the nominee and provide rapid response to push back

"Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton announced the launch of a "Supreme Court War Room" on Friday to help Republicans fight back against Democratic attacks on President Trump's impending nomination to fill the High Court's seat left vacant after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

"The campaign-style war room will track attacks on the nominee and provide rapid response to push back, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

^{Three Supreme Court Justices Were Confirmed In Less Than 45 Days, Including Ginsburg}

"Three Supreme Court Justices, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away on Friday due to complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer, were confirmed by the Senate within 45 days of their formal nomination date.

"According to Senate records, Justices Ginsburg, John Paul Stevens, and Sandra Day O'Connor were all confirmed in a short period of time. Stevens's confirmation in 1975 took 19 days, O'Connor's confirmation in 1981 took 33 days, and Ginsburg's confirmation in 1993 took 42 days."

Here's who might succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court 

"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death on Friday at 87 is sure to spark a battle over who will fill her seat.

"Here are some of the judges who could be in line to succeed her on the high court, should President Trump choose to nominate someone:

A judge on the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, Barrett was on Trump's shortlist for his second Supreme Court nomination, which ultimately went to Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.

"A graduate of Notre Dame University Law School, she clerked for the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia and then spent two decades as a law professor at Notre Dame.

"Barrett, 48, is a favorite of the religious right, and her deep ties to her Catholic faith earned her a grilling from Democrats during her confirmation hearings to the federal bench. California Sen. Dianne Feinstein memorably told her: "The dogma lives loudly within you, and that's a concern."

"Barrett responded: "It's never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge's personal convictions, whether they arise from faith or anywhere else, on the law." "

Update 20 Sep 2020

Trump campaign dismisses Democrats' SCOTUS outrage: A president is elected for four years, not 'three years, nine months'

"After Democrats became infuriated by President Trump's signaling that he will move forward with a pending nominee to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the president's campaign responded by pointing out a commander-in-chief is elected for four years, not an ambiguous three-years-and-change.

"Trump 2020 communications director Tim Murtaugh told "The Fox Report" on Sunday that it is the Constitution, not the calendar, that determines when a president may nominate a Supreme Court justice.

" "The Constitution is very clear, the president selects a nominee and the Senate provides advice and consent, those are the rules -- and the only rules -- [and] the president will do his part," Murtaugh said.

" "We elect the president for a term of four years, not three years and nine months, or whatever the Democrats would want the president to behave like." "

"Murtaugh, who previously worked for former Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Pa., said Trump has a Constitutional duty to fill a vacant seat and ignore any complaints from the other side of the aisle.

"To that extent, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden spoke in Old City, Philadelphia on Sunday and declared that Trump's main impetus for deciding to select a jurist so soon is wielding his executive power.

" "I don't believe the people of this nation will stand for it," the Delawarean claimed. "It's an exercise in raw political power." "
