She clearly hated Trump, I don't think anyone would dispute that. You can hate Trump and hate the modern DNC, though, they don't have to be mutually exclusive. I'm not in any way suggesting that she was doing any of this to help Trump and the GOP further any of their goals, I'm only implying that she hated the modern iteration of the Democratic party more than people expect.

Generic Conservatism didn't bother her all that much; she sided with Justices like Clarence Thomas on a regular basis and even some of her dissensions and opinions fall near the Moderate/Conservative side, so it wasn't as though she saw Conservativism as some kind of "ultimate death of America" situation. She did not, however, fly off the rails and fall neck-deep into Social Justice.

My argument isn't that she necessarily wanted the Conservatives or Donald Trump to "win", it's that she saw the logical conclusion of Social Justice as a dead end to her legacy because they have no interest in preserving the ideas that she had, they were only interested in preserving the image they made of her. Social Justice is a complete juxtaposition to like 80-90% of her dissenting opinions and these same people constantly talk about packing the Supreme Court until they've effectively destroyed it.

If you destroy the Supreme Court, you destroy Ruth's legacy. She may not have liked Donald Trump, but I'd wager she liked that idea less.

Pretty sure she was just half off her rocker, high in pain meds and her own farts.

Oh no, due process and the belief in innocent until proven guilty instead of subjecting kids to the kangaroo court of public opinion where the woman always has to be believed and the guy just has to shut up and be declared a rapist. Only an absolute asshole would think something like that also Ginsberg believed the exact, same thing when it came to Title IX so shut up, go back to the drawing board, and try again.

Just a reminder to everyone that Biden/Harris only plan to strengthen Title IX.

These people are sounding really desperate for anything negative whatsoever they can make stick to Amy Coney Barrett. Now I know she's a good choice.

She's young, she looks stable, she has a couple good ideas.

I don't think they're trying to get RID of Title IX, just reform it to combat the damage #MeToo has caused for it.

IDK. The anti-religion articles are nice and the anti-due process ones are even better, but I haven't seen any articles about "weapons of war." That would really seal the deal for me.

Are they even trying to frame it as a bad thing there because the only context that implies that is the fact that it's wapo

You're fucking retarded.

Its not saying "I won't rock the boat."

Its saying. "I will follow the basic legal principles that are required of me, as an inferior justice of the united states of america."

An appellate court judge MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST follow faithfully apply precedents from the surepemc ourt, even if they personally disagree with them. Thats why its called MANDATORY authority.

Trying to use this as a purity test to disqualify someone from being 'christian' enough for the spot just shows that you are too ignorant to even be trying to makin those sort of decisions

I get you have a completely superficial understanding of the role of federal appellate judges, but holy shit do you not understand the implication of her statements.

Its not saying "I will follow the basic legal principles that are required of me, as an inferior justice of the united states of america."

Its saying "I will follow Roe v Wade and in doing so I will not vote similar to conservatives on the Fifth Circuit in Whole Woman's Health or June Medical Services." Even you should be able to comprehend that as an assurance she will not rock the boat on abortion, unless you disagree as to the Fifth Circuit's rulings in those cases.

I don't really think either of these things rules out a re-litigation of Roe but also indicates a non-ideological ruling regarding abortion. I don't think that's a bad thing considering I want originalist Justices, and it takes some of the bite out of the Handmaid's Tale hysteria. It's better from an election standpoint.

Its better from an election and confirmation standpoint and that's arguably the issue. This is a rare opportunity to strengthen the Supreme Court's conservative majority and the only nominees being discussed are recent additions to the federal judiciary who are virtually complete unknowns on most constitutional issues. We have 2-3 favorable federal decisions from each and their responses to written questions during the nomination process. Hence my concern about this opportunity being wasted if Barrett or Lagoa turn out like Souter, who had significantly better educational and judicial credentials than either.

I think these people have such strong reactions because they don't like being reminded that they killed their baby. Deep down they know they did, and if anything reminds them of it they have an understandable meltdown. Tragic really.

Let's say you got drunk one day and killed a child playing in the road in a drunk driving accident. How would remembering it make you feel?

Sounds like "Fuck you, dad!" to me.

Also, they chicks need to know something. You can have abortions, just make it quick and stop waiting until it becomes late-term. And for the love of God, don't celebrate having one.

Not to mention, and this is one issue that astounds me how stupid people are, Roe v Wade being repealed will not mean as soon as the gavel hits the table that women throughout the land will be arrested.
It will go back into the States' authority as to whether the practice is deemed legal rather than having a federal mandate.
Some States will keep it legal, others not.
Just another way for weak minded imps to have their emotions steer their decision making rather than reality.
