ACB is a fake judge accepting nomination from an impeached and corrupt autocrat who the majority of Americans never elected as President. What an opportunist to get a seat she could never hope to get under fair circumstances when she even said Merrick would have altered the balance of the Court because he was more lib than Scalia; well what about you? You are the exact opposite of Ginsburg! A fake and corrupt judge accepting a corrupt nomination. Shameful.

We also have her history to judge her by and she’s definitely going to end up legislating from the bench.

Good now let’s see if those words have staying power..

...but it happens

Something her predecessor did constantly.

Liberals white females 🤯

AP saying everything done by Trump is bad. Poor journalism

I hope she realizes that there is always a tweet.

“A judge may never subvert the law or twist it in any way to match the judge’s convictions from whatever source they derive.” --Amy Coney Barrett Exactly opposite of how the Ds try to use the SCOTUS.

Here’s another Not sure about Dems Are you?

Convictions should derive from constitution. NOT politicians

That was before she ran into Trump. Seems everyone in the Trump orbit sells their souls. DumpTrump2020

💩🤬👿🤮😡

Her words in 2016 were to wait until after the election to fill Scalia's seat yet when the same situation arises 4 yrs later and her name is in the pot then it's ok. She now is no longer credible as a person or a judge.

IOW ' I shall judge as massa trump tells me to.'

When Democrats nominate Justices to the Supreme Court they always receive significant Republican support - When a conservative Justice is forwarded total slanderous chaos ensues - extreme radicals have taken control of the DNC

Amy Coney Barrett: -She’s a woman, so they can’t hire their usual fake sexual assault victims. -She has two black children, so they can’t smear her as a racist. Taking early bets as to what the Democrats will cook up to try to stop ACB...

emarvelous But in 2016 she said a SCOTUS should not be nominated in an election year. What about those words? She also said she'd honor RGB but is going against her dying wish. So yea, another gop liar.

Reading these replies it's apparent this doesn't register as possible for the left. They proudly declare their personal convictions and look to further them. A nonpolitical office is a foreign concept to them.

This will be Catholic law...similar to Islamic Law. Religious law.

Liberals seem to be the only ones making comments. You have not taken over the great country of the Republic of United States Yet!! Soon you will scurry back to your rat holes were you thrive on living off other people misery.She will make a great Justice! Long live this Justice

All Americans can hope for is that the ENORMITY of being a Supreme Court Justice presses on Barrett. And that it forces her to be diligent to adhere to the Principles of the Constitution and will prevent her from being swayed by Trump's partisan politics.

After the most “christian conservative lady G, hypocrisy” your word no longer matter.

Here's another one: Actions speak louder than words.

Noticed her son w/ Down's Syndrome who's immunocompromised and the rest of her kids at risk to COVID had no masks on? Why? Her lack or critical thinking in a situation like that tells me she's not qualified to be on the bench! She's JudgeCovidiot

Stop normalizing a fucking coup.

Bravo Judge Barrett

emarvelous Also notable quotes from Amy Coney Barrett. Hypocrite. Opportunist. Liar.

Her rulings contradict her statements.

Ok yall got me with all the Handmaidens Tale gifs🤣🤣

emarvelous If Democrats don’t get loud and violent in the streets you deserve what you get. This woman will assist trump in his killing of all democrat families

I knew Ruth Ginsberg, Ruth Ginsberg was my friend and you, Amy Barrett, you're NO Ruth Ginsberg.

People will say anything to gain power. Manipulation is their game.

Thanks for providing the source information (the story) without the editorial. It’s what I think AP used to be about. This was a flash from the past.

She is going to be great!

Bitter much AP

Separation of Church and State. What happened to that?

All the things she stands for I'm in complete agreement. She deserves to be on the court and will be an important addition. The country is based on checks and balances. Right now the Democrats have been taken over by anarchists and must be stopped

If only fundamentalist christians actually believed that...

She lied.

Anyone game in seeing if she keeps her word?

I mean, I agree with the quote. I’m not sure her record shows that she does.

Hollow

“Notable”.

Down with Amy 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Barrett has only been at the Appellate Court since 2017. That is not experience enough to be a Supreme Court Judge unless you are trying to put in place a Court only loyal to Trump, I honestly Believe she is giving foot work to the American ppl so that she becomes a justice.

Worth noting Chief Justice Roberts once advocated for term limits of SOTUS judges............

These people have a tendency to lie. I’m just saying.

She will go back on that faster than her “we can’t seat a judge.” Comment from the Obama administration. She has been waiting for this opportunity to inject her nonsense beliefs into the country.

Yea, right...

Yes!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍MAGA😊😊😊

Fucking loud, guttural L.O.L. This human represents fear, and the absolute LACK pdx separation of church/ state. Looking forward to joining satanic_temple_ ASAP.

Amy Comey Barrett's 'People of Praise' Cult and 'A Handmaiden's Tale' seem very much alike, except for the racial segregation.

Let’s see if she is true to her word

You can’t believe that. She wasn’t groomed for this job because People of Praise loves SCOTUS. This is decades in the making to kill Roe v Wade.

I am the constitution

“RBG will be replaced by a woman who walked through every door that Ginsburg opened for her so that she can promptly use her position to shut them all for others behind her.” Not my words, but too good to not post.

And the assault begins... EnemyOfThePeople

Another liar.

Republicans were warned. They didn't listen. Now they better pray to whatever demon they believe in that democrats don't take back the Senate or the conservative supreme court is going to get purged.

Your choice of photo shows your bias. She does not look like that.

She's lying.

Maybe it would be better to run headlines that talk about the judge's record instead of quotes that could easily be lies. smh

NOTABLE LIES

Amy Coney Barrett - Pro Life, Pro Gun Lobby! Sorry, I don't quite get that one!

Yeah? So what? Plenty of public figures, GOP politicians and conservatives in or near the Trump administration, have all said one thing done another. What’s notable is how many bald faced liars populate the Trump administration.

No person of integrity would have accepted that job only days after RBG passed away and just before the election. ACB has none.

Hypocrisy embodied.

Why is pretending that this isn’t a complete disgrace to the judicial system, and that Barrett won’t be a complete shill for the Republican Party and Corporate America. Fascists are taking over America one step a time and you willfully pretend it’s not happening.

imagine the Democrats act like this justice dictates the way the other 8 justices vote! and they think realDonaldTrump is confused!

Never thought we would see the return of kitchen table abortions but it's here. ConeyBarrett

Notable bullshit from Amy GOP

In less than four years under Donald Trump we are witnessing absolute White Power. Dominated on all fronts by white power - without the liberty to even protest white power. It's even uncomfortable for some white people. That's what they meant by

She a right wing extremists who is willing to hand the election over to trump All those so called pro-life ppl out there aren’t so pro-life when they support a man responsible for the 200k+ deaths in six months through malfeasance and sadism Cruelty is always the point w/ trump

Amy Coney Barrett is a part of a sectarian religion that demands she surrender autonomy and willingly calls herself a 'handmaiden.' This is a disqualifying lifestyle for a Supreme Court nominee, who will make laws that affect the USA for many years. TrumpIsATraitor

Sounds like exactly what we need. Thanks

I'll anticipate her hypocricy. Bad choice. Wrong person for the right job. Barrett socially & culturally underdeveloped w/ bias towards religious extremism beliefs. She has spoken publicly of her pre-21st century beliefs on women's rights. She's archaic in thought & practice. No.

Forgive me if I have no trust in the words coming from Republicans. They'll say whatever is needed however if you want to know how someone will perform a job, looks at what they've done in previous jobs. All this talk about religion and children is nothing but a smoke screen.

Feels like the end of my insurance

What is the law young lady! A piece of paper written by white aristocrats with huge holdings of land stolen from natives cultivated by imported slaves & people who considered women as unequal & playthings & many with mistresses? Or laws enacted by mostly white men in Congress?

You should mention the first things she did was not follow the virus guidelines set by the president and his team. So it's not looking good for the Future of the highest court in the land. But Tom Cotton doesn't care about things like that.

We’ll see about that. Her stance on catholic judges abstaining from death penalty cases, but somehow not on abortion cases is... troublesome.

Paranoid liberals already on the attack. Did you see Hirono on CNN. I give Wolf a little credit for exposing her. She got awkward when asked about the impressive record and history of amiable arguments from peers. Yet this hypocritical Senator could only revert to fear! 🙄

Truth! Something RGB did not do in many instances.

Notable quotes...Imbalance on the court is not a good thing.

Funny that her stances seem to convey the opposite.

Shameful to go against the will of the people especially while they are voting. Barrett will always be known as a disgrace to American democracy

'The country will burn.' That is the response I've seen most regarding this nominee. Trump hates America. He has worked hard to destroy it. I fear with this move, he will succeed. May God have mercy on us all.

She even looks evil. The destroyer has come into our mist. Life will never be the same after this. The sick and dying will grow so quickly after she takes away our health. And she’ll be rich and so her decisions won’t touch her and her family. But for americans it’s a wrap..

Damn, now if only they acted upon what they say. Wasn’t her that said that Obama should get justice pick because of...... She sure as hell don’t give a shit about it now. So her words aren’t “notable,” especially since the mean 💩.

She's full of:

She’s on the court ! It’s a done deal. Concentrate on the election !

Stop the Process now, finish it after the Election

The fact that Barrett would even accept this nomination under these circumstances tells me all I need to know

You mean the same way fundamental religions do it?

great combination of intelligence and procinples.

That is the media’s job since 2000

LOL. It is the Supreme Court's job to interpret the law. And they can and do reverse their own rulings. The shortest reversal was literally 11 months apart. Yes, judge, you can be wrong when you make a ruling. Get used to it.

Amy Coney Barrett clear favorite over Barbara Lagoa to be Trump's Supreme Court pick: bookmakersThe serving U.S. Court of Appeals judge is considered the frontrunner to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last week. The right pick is whoever is the most ideological, backward and committed to rolling the clock back to the 1870s. We need more poverty, sickness, and pollution in America. USA! There you go Florida, LAGOYA is Hispanic so no chance in DontheCon’s eyes that she is worth it. Hope you remember this. DontheCon does NOT like you

Amy Coney Barrett: 5 things to know about the potential Supreme Court nomineeAs the public waits for President Trump to announce his pick to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, there’s a buzz growing around Amy Coney Barrett, a respected jurist and conservative darling. The number one thing to know about her is that if she is picked, it will have been for the artist of the deal. Barbara Lagoa. Trump needs to pick up Florida. Since peopleofpraise members believe women have to abide by their husbands, wouldn’t her rulings not be hers and instead her husband’s? She’d seek out his counsel and he’s not the one being confirmed.
