'So-called tolerant' woke crowd take aim at Amy Coney Barrett | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says with “hateful leftists” it is never about principle; it is always about side. \n\nUS President Donald Trump recently nominated Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.\n\nMs Barrett is a staunch conservative, who is anti-abortion, pro-gun rights and has been a vocal critic of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.\n\nMr Kenny said Amy Coney Barrett will be “a black letter lawyer”. \n\n“She served as an associate to the late conservative Supreme Court Justice Scalia and shares his philosophy,” Mr Kenny said. \n\nMr Kenny looked at the response to the selection from the “so-called tolerant entertainment crowd ... the woke crowd,' the Democrats and their supporters who have attacked Ms Barrett for her religion and beliefs. \n\n“Imagine if these people suggested someone should not be appointed to the Supreme Court because they are atheist, or Buddhist, or Muslim.\n\n“It just would not happen, you know that, as it should not. \n\n“Yep, deify JFK, vote for practicing Catholic Joe Biden, cheer the Pope when he speaks about climate change or social justice, but reject Amy Coney Barrett because she is a Catholic.\n\n“With these hateful Leftists, it is never about principle, it is always about side.” \n\n Hmmm...hateful. Kinda like all those kind nutters celebrating Mikakos resignation. On what principle should a leader of a country dodge taxes, drafts, science and common sense. It really nothing to do with everyday Australians (& nor should it to Chris Kenny) whom the USA elect as POTUS. If it was not constantly in Oz media it would hardly rate a mention at pub. Regardless whom elected POTUS it generally does not alter too much in relation to Oz.

Rush to confirm Amy Coney Barrett 'may erode' public's faith in the Supreme Court | Sky News AustraliaThe haste in which Republicans are trying to rush through Judge Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation hearings could erode the public’s faith in the Supreme Court, according to Sky News contributor Michael Ware.\n\nOn Sunday, Australian Eastern Standard Time, President Donald Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.\n\nMs Barrett is a staunch conservative, who is anti-abortion, pro gun rights and has been a vocal critic of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.\n\nSenate majority leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate will vote 'in the weeks ahead' on Ms Barrett's confirmation, saying that the president 'could not have made a better decision' in nominating her.\n\nHis statement suggests he plans to ignore pleas from Democrats, including presidential nominee Joe Biden, not to appoint anyone until after November's election.\n\nMr Ware told Sky News the real issue with Ms Barrett's nomination 'is the rush.'\n\n'Is this rush, to put her in a position where she may be part of a court that may decide a contested election as we saw with Gore versus Bush with the famous hanging chads, will this hastiness erode the public's faith in the great institution of the Supreme Court.\n\n'Everyone here in America believes in the Constitution and believes in the Supreme Court as an honest arbitrator and the question is will the process for this particular nominee at this particular time, dig away at that public faith?' No it doesn't. Just following the Constitution. More repeating of fake news from lazy media. Its obvious Sky News knows nothing about the sentiment in the USA. Stick to your bias towards Labor in Australia and don't make fools of yourself by pretending to know international affairs. Why is still wheeling out Michael Ware?

'Certainly possible': Donald Trump says Amy Coney Barrett could help Supreme Court upend abortion lawsUS 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 return to the 19th century? 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. 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.

Andrews will ‘throw anybody under the bus’ to avoid taking responsibility | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews is only trying to “dig in and protect his job” as hundreds of Victorians have died from the coronavirus, with millions still locked down, according to state Opposition Leader Michael O’Brien.\n\nCounsel assisting the COVID-19 Hotel Quarantine Inquiry said on Monday the bungling of the hotel quarantine facilities led to all of Victoria’s 768 second wave deaths.\n\nMr O’Brien said the ensuing expansive lockdown did not need to be endured by Victorians, but it was “something we had to put up with only because of this government was completely incompetent”.\n\n“Incompetent to allow the second wave to occur through hotel quarantine, but then incompetent to keep us in the second wave through bungled contact tracing,” Mr O’Brien told Sky News.\n\n“It’s been a disaster from pillar to post”.\n\nThe inquiry heard evidence from Health Minister Jenny Mikakos on Wednesday, who after the premier fronted the inquiry and laid the blame on her feet, resigned on Saturday.\n\nMs Mikakos resigned to the governor rather than to Mr Andrews, and has indicated she disagreed with parts of the premier’s evidence.\n\n“It shows you how dysfunctional this government has become,” Mr O’Brien said.\n\n“Andrews is prepared to throw anybody else under a bus to avoid taking responsibility for what he’s done. Ultimately, he’s the premier, the buck stops with him.\n\n“This is the greatest public policy disaster in the state’s history.”\n\n DanielAndrewsMP michaelobrienmp Haha imagine thinking this guy can run a state. What a joke. DanielAndrewsMP michaelobrienmp What does it matter to him. Just piddle off and take your huge taxpayer pension DanielAndrewsMP DanielAndrewsMP michaelobrienmp Not just his job...HQ has massive smell of corruption about it.
