US President Donald Trump's latest Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, would give the nine-member court six conservative justices - if she is confirmed by the Senate.

A practicing Catholic, Judge Barrett has given rulings and written legal articles indicating her opposition to abortion rights.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-choice organization, ten states have legislated so-called trigger bans that would outlaw all or most abortions if Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court.There are two cases related to abortion rights before the Supreme Court, one of which challenges a 2018 Mississippi ban on abortions from 15 weeks.

“Mostly I'm looking for somebody that can interpret the constitution as written … and she is very strong on that.”Judge Barrett is Mr Trump's third Supreme Court appointee in his first term in office. The US Supreme Court bench as seen in 2018. If Amy Coney Barrett replaced Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg the court would have a 6-3 conservative bias.Mr Trump has said both judges were picked because of their conservative, textualist views on the US constitution, with the nominations preserving the court’s 5-4 conservative balance under President Barack Obama.

What is Amy Barrets thoughts on Trumps ' Grab them ( women) on the pussy' comment? Is that part of what a President of the ' I love America and I love the American Constitution' comment at WH ceremony represents?

Here’s a thought... Looks like men may have to take responsibility for what comes out of their dicks. It’s not just up to women...start wearing condoms!

And here is with the late news....

Good news

The Supreme court has had a conservative majority for a long time. What has that alleged ‘christian’ values influence done to ensure Black Lives Matter?

and hasn’t it made them squeal 😁

What is her stance on pussy grabbing?

Shouldn't they have an even balance of political views serving.

*when*

Isn't this the woman who came out during the last election claiming you can appoint a Supreme Court Judge during an election year.

Imagine an America where the people selected for the highest court in the country were selected on merit, rather than if they were an ideological warrior that would tip the court their way. Just imagine an America that was actually run intelligently like that. What a utopia.

She chose to have a number of children She should allow other women to choose how many they have. Not allowing abortion is fascist bastardry.

A return to the 19th century?

Amy Coney Barrett: Democrats say Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick threatens healthcare of AmericansChristian conservatives and anti-abortion activists have praised Donald Trump's choice, while Democrats and abortion rights groups are concerned the pick could result in a winding back of civil rights and liberties. Good choice 👍🏻 I’ve come to the conclusion that right wingers are only really happy when they’re bossing everybody else around and dictating how they should live their lives. But the same rules never apply to them. Why are the Republicans rushing to nominate Justice Barrett in an election year when they had refused to hold a vote for Justice Merrick Garland in 2016?
