Barrett so far has resisted calls for her recusal, but for better or worse her confirmation probably wouldn’t have any effect on the outcome of the 2020 election — even in the unlikely event it came down to a Supreme Court decision. The Court has already heard a number of emergency motions concerning COVID-related election changes. In the most important of these so far, RNC v.

The task for liberals becomes so much harder with a conservative 6-3 Court. Keep in mind that even on a more closely divided Court, conservatives prevailed in major voting cases: the 2010 decision in Citizens United v. FEC holding that corporations have a First Amendment right to spend unlimited sums supporting or opposing candidates for office; the 2013 Shelby County v.

On Friday, the Court said that next year it would take up another case from Arizona that concerns the Voting Rights Act. An appeals court held that the state engaged in intentionally discriminatory conduct against minority voters by limiting the ability to collect absentee ballots, which were a tool, especially on Native American reservations, to get out the vote.

rickhasen We’d basically be going back to the 50’s and have to do this all over again.

rickhasen I know they don't say it now. But the court WILL be packed. Precedent was thrown out the window when republicans denied holding a hearing for Judge Merrick Garland

rickhasen More justices on the Supreme Court. More justices reduces the political impact of any one justice. ElieNYC is right.

rickhasen Democratic Congress will addess.

rickhasen she could just defer.. end of story

rickhasen It's a matter of simple math. We have the votes. We're jamming her through before the end of the month.

rickhasen This story is a great advertisement for our desperately needed national political divorce.

rickhasen God clearly struck Amy's Garden Party.

rickhasen LOL, I love how it's already a foregone conclusion in your minds that Kagan, Sotomayor and Breyer will vote however the Democrat party wants them to vote on any issue, including completely unknown election issues, but that it is only conservatives whose votes are unknown. Damning

rickhasen Finally a Catholic Theocracy ! - or Biden or Berrett I WIN ANYWAY

rickhasen Aren't we supposed to have equal representation under the law. Placing her on the court would totally distort that.

rickhasen

rickhasen Takin it all back to 60s,the 1860s.

rickhasen No. The ballot is a great system. If anything it should be similar to 2 form authentication. Major candidates should be voted upon with both paper ballot as well as electronically. If both don't add up it's invalid. Push inauguration a month later for proper vote counts. Leap

rickhasen Republicans despise democracy

rickhasen Deplorable. 😒

rickhasen yes, you'll never be able to vote if she's confirmed.... rolling of eyes

The Election And A Fresh Obamacare Challenge Loom Over New Supreme Court TermThe Supreme Court begins its new term Monday with 8 justices. And with a challenge to the ACA expected to be argued a week after the election, it could become apparent fast just how far right the court will move if Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed. They current SCOTUS is trying to undercut Obergefell Good. The ACA is a disaster and needs to be done away with. Sadly, the whole notion of needing to care deeply about there being 8 justices reveals the deepest problem with SCOTUS - we all have a sense how political appoints will vote prior to cases being heard. Rs have made it another legislative chamber. Dems must re-balance the court.

Supreme Court launches new term reeling from RBG's death and in political spotlightA short-handed Supreme Court, still reeling from the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, begins a new term Monday in the shadow of a bitter confirmation fight that is set to take place weeks before the presidential election. “Bitter Confirmation fight” = “Tantrum from the Left which will include an attempt to find anything to destroy a decent person” They are not short handed. Biden must be allowed to pick the next judge.

Supreme Court begins new term as election battle loomsThe U.S. Supreme Court begins a new term on Monday amidst a raging political battle over an open seat and a high-stakes push by President Donald Trump to have the justices adjudicate a possible contested election. Judge Barrett, GOP Senators who've tested positive for COVID (as a result of your WH intro for SCOTUS) have Congressional health insurance for preexisting conditions while you, if confirmed, will vote against the ACA, denying this coverage to millions of Americans. Uncool, Judge. Sorry communists, Trump will save our Republic. “They'll address matters of health insurance, use of force by police, military rape claims, religious freedom, grand jury secrecy, robocalls and faith-based foster care.”
