Opinion | Kristin Kobes Du Mez: Amy Coney Barrett's 'handmaid' history should be fair game for Democrats. - NBCNewsTHINK

dystopian fantasies torn from the pages of Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The fact that People of Praise is a closed group organized around a patriarchal leadership structure and bound together through vows of submission only escalates concerns that, once ensconced on the court, Barrett could turn dystopian fantasy into reality — or at least move America in that direction.

To conservative Christians, such alarmism only shows how out of touch liberals are with basic Christian teachings. Patriarchal leadership, female submission and

THINK Two thoughts: 1) Trump has packed the court with ideologues on the very fringes that would never get a vote from Democrats in any previous eras. (This is new). 2) The newest nominee is way out there....an extremist ......who is only confirmable now.

THINK The gloves are off until January 21, 2021

THINK If confirmed the separation of church and state will be history, as well as the rights of LGBT people and she will contribute to the destruction of our Nation and Democracy as she will be beholden to Trump and the far right as they destroy USA

THINK The'law'comes right from our Judeo-Christian heritage. America was founded under the sovereignty of God. Ruth would be proud of Amy. Ruth knew the God of Abraham, Isaac,&Jacob&now has the whole truth,praise God. Fear brings only torment, perfect love casts out all fear. Pray for

THINK Back in College I did a 6 week study of 8 Judges to see if their political ideology and personal beliefs played into their sentencing...conclusion it did. One Judge even went so far as to comedown on a defendant because he wore a sweatshirt with a football team he didn't like.

THINK don't discriminate her because of her faith do you have any other reasons why she shouldn't be a Judge on the SCOTUS?

THINK 'For many Democrats, however, Barrett’s faith raises serious questions about her ability to faithfully interpret the Constitution...There is the matter of her past role as a “handmaid” in the conservative Catholic group People of Praise,'...Another totalitarian pushed by Trump.

THINK A religious test is unconstitutional. But that doesn’t matter to NBC.

Is the Supreme Court Too Catholic?There have been more Catholic justices on the Supreme Court in the last 35 years than in the previous 200. The reason has less to do with religion than with the politics of abortion. Does it really matter if they are Catholics or Baptists? Micro-credentialing will be recognised by employers as globally accepted industry standard Young people are giving up on their dream job We must support upskill for job opportunities. Else risk losing their future and our economy. Oh please.

No 'dogma': Democrats walk tightrope on Barrett's faithAs they prepare to question President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, several Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee say questions about Amy Coney Barrett's Catholic faith would be inappropriate. margbrennan Is NOT about her faith! It’s about her ability to leave her religious beliefs at the door. Who cares where she worships, just be able to be open minded. And with her past,very strong opinions, it seems that is not her strong point. SCOTUS role is to rule using the law not faith I think it's fair game. No need to ask about her love for fiction. Try asking about her corporate love which have made her side with corporations more than with civilians. Oh, sorry. I forgot that corporate dems have no problem with those things.
