Amy Coney Barrett’s ascent to the Supreme Court is not yet assured — but it could have earth-shaking consequences for American law

is likely anytime soon. Indeed, it’s far from clear that either of Trump’s prior nominees—Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh—would favor such a step.will endure in some form, as she declared that the landmark ruling’s “fundamental element, that the woman has a right to choose abortion,” will likely remain. “The controversy right now is about funding,” she added. “It’s a question of whether abortions will be publicly or privately funded.

“I think we’re in entirely new territory,” said Lawrence Gostin, a global health law professor at Georgetown University. “Covid-19 has proved to be so politically charged that we see a flood of litigation,” he added. Although the court often bats away those emergency requests without comment or noted dissent, the justices divided 5-4 earlier this year as it turned aside challenges from churches in California and Nevada complaining that they were being unfairly targeted by lockdown orders.to grant broad leeway to state officials, while the rest of the court’s conservatives sharply dissented over what they viewed at second-class treatment for religion and the religious.

It appears the GOP would have come up short in the case regardless of how Barrett viewed the issue, but her move to buck a Republican Party-backed suit related to the virus is worth noting.If Barrett makes it to the high court before the election, she might barely have time to catch her breath before hearing arguments in what is viewed as the biggest case on the court’s docket for this term: a Trump administration-backed challenge aimed at taking down the Affordable Care Act.

Barrett also signed a protest against Obamacare’s birth-control mandate on the grounds that it violated religious liberties. This summer, the justices greenlit a Trump administration regulation granting employers wide exemption not to comply with the law’s requirement for cost-free contraception for their workers. But the bench didn’t resolve all the legal questions raised by the polarizing case, and the policy is almost sure to come before the Supreme Court again.

Of course, many other election-related issues regularly reach the court, including redistricting and voter identification laws. Barrett is a conservative who would be joining an already reliably conservative court on those issues and she’s unlikely to reach the bench in time to rule on a flurry of emergency petitions expected to arise in the coming weeks relating to changes various states have made to voting procedures as a response to Covid-19.

We hope so...

True.The actions of this administration have highlighted the need to bring the entire court system into the 21 century so that the courts represent all the people.The Supreme Court must be expanded 2 be ethnically, racially & ideologically diverse, with an equal of women & men.

Yes! Following the laws is radical for DEMOCRATS

We better pay attention! SWO332 EbonnieProf

These things always get overplayed. Judges that make it to the Supreme Court are not so predictable. They begin to realize that precedent matters and that they don’t want their decisions to be looked at as fleetingly political events to be brushed aside a few years later.

Great.... less legislating from the bench.

When justice is sided justice ⚖ 😪 😔

Republicans is killing democracy in front of the whole world.

Trump loves Totalitarian Leaders, he hates Democracy.

Having out of date ideas just doesn't make any sense in 2020. doesn't matter if you're conservative or moderate or a liberal.

More stupidity

Trump 2020✊🏽🇺🇸

Dems need to pack the court with 2 more seats. Why 2? If Obama’s pick was allowed or RBG’s seat was filled by Biden, that would be a 5-4 conservative advantage or 55%. Now it’s going to be 6-3. If dems pack the court with two seats, it will go to 6-5 or 55%

Yeah like law and order....as it should be

She might actually rule that the Constitution (and the laws passed under its purview) actually MEAN what they clearly state.

NoAmyCoathangerBarrett

American law has little to do with the rest of the planet.

Women's right are going down the shitter BIGLY. Does she believe a husband can be charged with the rape of his wife? Doubtful, he is her master.

Hell yes it would. And will!

Yep, she is going to uphold it per the constitution

Commies shiting their pens

Here's hoping...

Hope trump gets a bad case of covid19, ,...karma or ,...the world would rejoice,..all but a small % of deplorables

she is wonderful, and her family is wonderful...90% of Americans can see that....'Go for it all you Anarchists'...you will lose votes substantially.

“Earth shaking” 😂

realDonaldTrump demands loyalty fair question is what did she promise TrumpLiedAmericansDied to get the nomination?

Gayle King is Donald Trump’s secret weapon in his re-election bid. No Gayle, neither you or any group have exclusive rights to words. Any word.

I like her. Of course, I admit I don't understand politics!

we can only hope

Ok?

ETTD - that includes Justice in America and the SCOTUS

Was she part of a submissive ritual?

Sadly, it is assured. Nothing will stop GOP Senate from confirming her nomination. Heartbreaking.

If you want to know what it was like in the 1950's. You will soon find out with Justice Serena Joy on the bench. She will turn back all our progress and rights. UnderHisEye BlessedBeTheFruit
