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.”
“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.” Another reason for moving quickly: It’s unclear whether the election results would make it harder to confirm Barrett before the end of the year if Democrat Joe Biden were to win the White House and Democrats were to gain seats in the Senate.
Let's make it if you don't believe in God,you can't run for public office
Wondering if ACB has suspicions of being used as an implement to effect a WH/GOP strategy Vs. being wanted for being an unbiased juror in the highest court of the nation.
This pronunciation of USASupremeCourt is other Step to walk tranquil, to back to a Democratic World way. Inside a Nation where the Justice is a Science applying in right way: the Democracy is safe and the door to the human integral develop is open CNN ABC dw BBC MIT Yale
Judge Barrett is correct. Supreme Court is not there to MAKE or CHANGE policy. It is there to JUDGE right vs wrong and produce justice based on the findings, period.
TnGovern
What! I understood the Supreme Court was the unelected ruler of the country. They should follow the law not make the law.
JimLaPorta They do have to decide if policy is Constitutional. What's her definition of right and wrong?
JimLaPorta So she’s going to perjure herself?

JimLaPorta Worthless rhetoric.
'to tell' 🤔
'Trying' as hard as I can not overturn ACA & Roe but couldn't overcome the urge...sorry. I will keep 'trying' for the next 50 yrs. Amy.
Someone please admit that If the roles were reversed the democrats would be pushing their justice through.
Ohsure. She will say whatever she needs to say, then take my health insurance away !!!!
Isn’t she applying for a job where the goal is to make sure if a wrong has been done to someone, it is corrected in compliance with the law?
rweingarten So what is the Supreme Court there for?
Is she kidding?
The Supreme Court does, however, have a fairy solid history of undergirding and perpetuating wrongs in public life.
She’s right
She’s right about that.
She is unfit to serve.
😒 maybe we should pray things away
Yeah lying. Remember Kavanaugh.
It's legitimate to say that courts do not make policy. They are, however, guided by precedent. Judge Barrett has criticized Justice Scalia as 'faint-hearted,' and argues for 'fearless originalism' not guided by even well-established precedent.
Wait one sec. It's either Judge Barrett does not know what a judge does or she's lying. When a judge, at the appeals or Supreme Court levels, interprets the law or gives an opinion on a certain situation, they are creating a 'governing law', case law, the policy for that issue.
How did AP obtain her remarks before she actually speaks them
The real issue is what happened in 2016, just 10 days after Scalia's passing on Feb. 13. 2016. No hearings, no voting, 11 months of blocking Merrick Garland, who had prosecuted the Oklahoma bombing case. Please read, especially the 1st paragraph.
That’s right. They apply the law...
Historically, the courts have been complicit in perpetuating wrongs e.g. Dred Scott, Separate but Equal, gutted voting rights. Hippocratic oath docs take says, 'Do no harm'... The courts have done a lot of harm to Black ppl Judge Barrett it's time to right some of those wrongs!
If this so called judge had any integrity or good judgement, she would recuse herself from her nomination after her inauguration disabled the White House and all of the Head of the US Government. Unless that was the plan,then this is even scarier!
You mean Amy Covid Barret will continue to super spread an infection?
Liars. That is precisely the reason she is there. She is a radical, nominated in desperation by a party who’s fundamental reason for being is deception in order to undermine the wellbeing of our democracy for personal gains.
Barrett is correct. The Court should uphold the Constitution. If we want policy, we should turn to Congress.
So you are remarking for her before she can make her remarks? Because we should believe that she is sharing her opening statements with you?
Gay marriage isn't a fucking policy decision, it's a human right decision. You cant leave gay marriage up to the states, why? Because half of America is back assword and would never pass such legislation. Thats why we need SCOTUS to rule on such matters.
Every single SCOTUS nominee says this in hearings. Then later court decisions reveal the truth about judicial advocacy.
How does SCOTUS nominee policy on POTUS creating vaccines from his abortions 🤔 source: techreview
Barrett and the HouseGOP SenateGOP should have the ethics and integrity to withdraw this action. NOW is the time for a Covid relief bill, Main Street is suffering. This is really disgusting and irresponsible of the Republicans to push this forward. The right thing to do is wait
“Obtained” how?
Bye bye gay marriage smh VoteBlueToSaveAmerica BidenHarris
It is the job of politicians to make policy! Duh!
I hope that they ask this woman who is so adamant about protecting children about bringing her own children to a crowded event where people are not wearing masks, then sends them to school to infect teachers and students. Does she consider that adequate protection of children?
Guess she's saying there's no reason for the courts and she doesn't need to be there.
Remember the days when the AP was a trusted source for news? Those days are gone. EnemyOfThePeople
Trump is an transactional President he never does anything for free because it makes him a sucker and a loser. Wonder what she had to give him to get the nomination Did she allow you to grab her
Code for doing away with gay marriage. Code for repealing Roe vs Wade.
With all due respect to the presumptive new member of the SCOTUS... bullshit. AmyConeyBarrett
Uh,huh...
great! 大法官的职责是解读上帝的秩序和戒律，不是观看人们的right every wrong.
She's a looney tune
Mind readers icoming
What she means is that courts shouldn't try to make policy that she disagrees with.
Correct, courts purpose is to interpret the current law and apply it to seen cases.
Barrett- “why should courts try to help people”
Sounds right to me.
Nobody gives a single shit about female Pence.
She will lie to get where she wants to be.
I’m expecting her to lie as Kavanaugh did to get the job. She will then immediately get to work setting policy and “righting the wrong” of Roe v. Wade. Leave it alone. America doesn’t want your conservative overreach.
So...only decisions that agree with HER opinion of right and wrong? I hope to God her nomination is blocked.
Except....that's literally the point of the courts.....to right the wrongs and make policy decisions beneficial to the right people if need be.
She’s still going to Hand the Election to Trump and Destroy ACA. So 👎🏾 her.
No just the wrongs that are the majority.
She’s right
How did she get her law degree?
Courts aren’t here to right wrongs ? Just WTF are they for then ?
Do you agree with ACB?
Lol. She has had 3 years of being a judge. This will be a nightmare.
True statement. Doesn’t matter what she says though. She will be the next justice.
Shut up, Ridiculous ACB
Its called the law. They don't make up the law 🤣 dumbasses on here will no doubt disagree
She should be brought up on perjury charges after her first decision that demonstrates that this is an absolute lie...
Right. Mexico will pay for the wall
They’ll say whatever they think needs to be said...just ask Barr
She can say that all she wants, but when you can tell how someone is going to rule because of their political or personal philosophy then you have an ideologue not a jurist.
she has dicta out there that questions Brown V Board. That should be disqualifying
Excellent
we all remember gore verus bush,,so her statement is false,,it is and was the decision of the scotus/.get the truth & your facts straight/.
She shouldn’t even be considered before February 2021. StopActingLikeThisIsNormal
Cant trust a religious nut.
Does she think SCOTUS will be presiding over jury trials?
Righting every wrong in public life, is called Justice!
Actions speak louder than words. She says one thing but does the opposite, just like the party that nominated her.
😂😂😂
ACB=zero credibility
Damn....with that radical right bitch, we could have segregation and Jim crow back. Luckily the voter will speak so loudly this year, not even republican voter suppression, gerrymandering and rigging will stop the tsunami. Oh, and elections have consequences.
hahahahaha ... isn’t this just a retelling of the John Roberts lie that we all fell for once: “Judges and Justices are servants of the law, not the other way around. Judges are like umpires. Umpires don’t make the rules, they apply them.”
Same iteration as the remarks of the last half dozen or so nominees. It sounds eloquent, judicial, and is actually the correct answer. But it's also a lot of fluff and loose enough to be interpreted in many different ways.
It's the standard playbook. Pre-confirmation: 'I'm here to call balls and strikes from a constitutional perspective.' After making the SCOTUS: *Runs to the mound and rips out the pitcher's heart* 'This is my game now, mother truckers! We play how I say we play!'
Follow up: What about courts codifying wrongs?
She shouldn’t get to tell senators a god damned thing.
Another 'use my words against me' lol The standard GOP go-to now.
Typhoid Mary speaks
Courts are designed for the purpose of righting the wrongs in our public. That's the policy of decision making.
“Why did I do it though? Listen, I’m not perfect. And my faith tells me that I can be redeemed through... abcxyz...” She’s factually right, but she’s lying if she says that she’ll hold herself to that standard. Just another tactic to get her confirmed to SCOTUS. .
These nominees tell people what they want hear. Watch what they do no what they say
Lol, say anything to be confirmed!
She says as she tries to criminalize the gays and execute women who need an abortion
Hired
Unless you’re a liberal....then the government should make everything right and provide for them.
Here we go again, empty words during opening statement followed by the total opposite on the court and of course medias are falling for it 🙄
Says the woman that wants to destroy the rights of woman.
OMG Susan Collins has a doppelgänger...Coney Barrett twisting in the wind to make the medicine go down
Not 'every wrong'? Which wrongs? Sounds evasive.
So the usual B.S. that every nominee says before they get on the court and do the exact opposite?
“You see, the Supreme Court shouldn’t have made a ‘policy decision’ in Roe v. Wade, and as such we must overturn it” - ACB, in the future
'Now confirm me to SCOTUS so I can turn every woman's womb into state property!'
This is a load of trash
