Though any confirmation fight in the midst of a presidential election will be hard fought, the battle is expected to be amplified if Barrett is picked, because of her track record.

To fill Kennedy's spot, Trump ultimately picked Brett Kavanaugh instead, an establishment Republican figure who angered some on the religious right for not being conservative enough even as he set off storms of panic on the left.Though any confirmation fight in the midst of a presidential election will be hard fought, the battle is expected to be amplified if

. In particular, critics of Barrett have zeroed in on her prolific academic writings, in which she raised questions about the importance of respecting precedent and referred to "unborn victims" of abortion.in Notre Dame's quarterly alumni magazine, Barrett is paraphrased as saying the landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade, the decision which legalized abortion nationwide, created "through judicial fiat a framework of abortion on demand.

Barrett said in a 2013 speech at Notre Dame, however, that it is "very unlikely at this point that the court is going to overturn Roe [v. Wade].". "It's a question of whether abortions will be publicly or privately funded." During the 2016 hearings for her nomination to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Democrats, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, pressed Barrett on whether her Catholic faith would cloud her legal judgment.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."

Don’t worry Democrats. Dirty little secret: all lawyers are Democrats or vote with them. They only get labeled conservative until they are voted in to lifetime appointments.

CHD Church & Dwight Company: it appears they manufacture Trojan Brand 😂

As long as she is a constitutionalist, thats our governing document that must be protected. Anyone trying to dismantle it can eat shit

Amy Coney Barrett's father is a Shell Oil executive. Shell Oil is also a major Trump donor. While qualified for being SCOTUS Justice is her allegiance to Trump above the U.S. Constitution? She, like Mitch McConnell, is a member of the Federalist Society.

It is time to have a beautiful woman on the Supreme court, the last one was O'conor .

Having a functioning brain is more important than having a vagina, in a nominee. Anyone Trump nominates will be as bad as Kavanaugh or worse.

Great choice 👍👍👍👍

so the DNC questions amy's catholic beliefs in judging fairly but not JoeBiden's? it's all a power grab by the left so they can cram their p.c. agenda down people's throats through the SupremeCourt.

Nice to take gender and sexual-assault charades off the table

This entire process is illegitimate by the republicans own standards

An absolutely qualified woman who happens to be absolutely beautiful, sorry just saying. She’s got my vote!

Overturn Roe Vs. Wade.

What were the results oF a comparative analysis of Ms. Barrett and other female candidates. It definitely shoUld be a woman.

Maybe we get RBG into a casket first ya?

I wonder if some guys will come out and accuse her of raping them in the 1980's.

A brilliant jurist who also suffered discrimation because of being woman that seems to be a very good thing and a wonderful way to honor Justice Gunsberg

The only thing that liberals hate more than a conservative woman is an attractive conservative woman and then comes a black or gay conservative - they hate them too.

Dems should flip the script and fast track her. 'Barrett is married to J.Barrett, former Asst U.S. Atty for the N. District of IN.He is now a partner at Legal in S, Bend, IN. They live in S. Bend, IN and have 7 children: 5 biological & 2 adopted from Haiti

She's got that Crazed QANON Glazed over look...and Robot Smile...

Amy Coney Barrett as a front runner? I say 👏👏👏👏 yes!!!!

How utterly inappropriate

Nice!

Great pick!

stockspastor Oops

Amy Coney Barrett is the right choice! Let the leftists go insane!!

It’s all about Roe V Wade. It’s all they care about

Democrats are already interviewing her HS and JHS classmates to see who she allegedly bullied and raped

I can tell just by looking at her that she got some real issues

Not if Dems have anything to do with it!

She's got those crazy Michele Bachmann eyes...

I thought the story was republican senators stepping up to say they won't confirm new justice before inauguration.

No thank you. I have Christian beliefs, but I know the difference between my beliefs working for a few and working for all.

Christian Taliban

Its alway the anti-abortion fucks

Acronym ACB. 🧐 $ACB

CNBC already started digging dirt about her🤷‍♂️? Not surprised at all🥱

No thanks

She has that white supremacist look. Don’t like her

Religion has zero place in politics. Zero!

Good. Get her in there ASAP! Another strong, smart female jurist. Best way to honor RBG!

Good
