Opinion | Jill Filipovic: Trump Supreme Court favorite Amy Coney Barrett would be the ultimate insult to RBG. NBCNewsTHINK

She fought to break that cage open by, cannily, taking on a case in which the victim of gender discrimination was a man. From there, others flowed, and the wall of laws and rules enshrining disparate treatment of the sexes began to come down, brick by brick. Ginsburg did much of the dismantling with her own hands, but she was part of a long history and a larger trajectory.

And importantly, by the time Ginsburg gained a mass pop culture following, several generations of women had surged into the workforce and carved out a little more space and a little more opportunity.

THINK That’s the point, isn’t it? Remember the overarching credo: “The deconstruction of the administrative state”. The goal was identified early on, and the actions continue apace, unchecked by the so-called “checks and balances”. Sad....

THINK Wrong in everway possible. NBC, There were and will be Great women throughout our history.l Talking one up to the pinnacle of perfection, while trash talking the other, is the ultimate in anti-women rhetoric. Shame on you!

THINK hahahahaha liberals crying little babies! karma baby!

THINK Great amazing a so called news outlet would even have a story like this it just shows how bias you are

THINK Opinion: Americans selected a President and majority senators to rid us of judges who are wrong almost all the time like RBG. That’s why we put them there.

THINK RBG would not even be considered under a Pres Biden How ironic

THINK No matter who he picks you'll say it's an insult to someone who never did anything for the American worker

THINK Amy would not be where she is today if it was not for RBG.

THINK How is that? She is a woman. I thought RBG was for female rights?

THINK No one gives a shit to insult her she was not for the constitution or life

THINK Destroy? Her record shows she follows the constitution.

THINK The next pick must be able to look beyond personal beliefs to a world view that respects views and beliefs of every American.

THINK RBG would probably respect any Justice legally nominated by the President and approved by Senate.

THINK If only Jill hadn't written the umpteen hit pieces on Hillary back in 2016 we might not be here, but I digress...🤷🤦

IAmSophiaNelson THINK That’s sums up t.

THINK I would imagine that’s the idea.

THINK NBC is complete trash.

THINK Barrett isn't fit to polish RBG's shoes.

THINK Oh well

THINK No Nominee this President would please this Network and their DNC Bosses. One thing PMSNBC, your friend 'Lying Joe Biden', is now blaming Trump supporters for the Violence! Lying Joe knows who's paying these Terrorists and its his Far Left NaziCrat/ George Soros Party.

THINK senatemajldr (tiny letters, as to approach anonymity.) Why does Mitch McConnell make his speech’s from an empty chamber. The video usually reveals all. Do his fellow Senators behave in a way as to disrupt his voice (that deus ex machina voice seeming to appear out of nowhere)?

THINK Good.

THINK More demacrat lunacy, the belief that the seat should belong to a 'progressive'.

THINK I have not read anything like this, let me share.

THINK 2 minutes video no one should skip: Dr. Yan: the coronavirus was made in the lab to target human by the Chinese Communist Party!

THINK Nobody cares about her feelings. FillTheSeat

IAmSophiaNelson THINK So that means she will be the nominee.

THINK Why? Because she is a conservative that is against abortion? Over 50 million babies killed. Of course, rape and incest should be an exception. But not as a form of birth control.

THINK It’s sad. This woman gave so much of her life. Fighting for all the people. Like racism was fought for. Just to set it back 100 years. It’s always been there. Though most people suppressed it for peace. That bastard is going to destroy all we have left.

THINK

THINK I can think of some more insulting nominees. You have a really bad imagination.

THINK I thought liberals pushed tolerance. Wait, if it involves something conservative, tolerance doesn't count there.

THINK So what?

THINK I guess that means NBC news is against nominating another woman to the supreme court. Let the partisan vitriol begin.

THINK The Supreme Court isn't there to curate RBG's 'legacy'. It is there to serve the American people - full stop. This continued narrative that we need to somehow worship this woman and protect her seat is sick and has nothing to do w what that seat represents. Shame on you.

THINK This belongs in the discussion somewhere. In my youth, Earl Warren, former Gov. of CA, was Chief Justice. As it happens Dwight Eisenhower, who nominated Warren, was said to be dismayed to find Warren the equivalent to today’s Progressive! After being confirmed to USSupremeCourt

THINK That would be wonderful. It would be nice to have a supreme court justice who interprets the constitution as written

THINK I personally think that the ultimate insult to RBG would be dragging Judge Barrett through the mud because she isn't RBG. I fear that this is exactly what will happen.

THINK Why

THINK Thankfully, the press or opinions do not choose Supreme Court Justuces. It is a seat that is served, not owned. RBG is laughing in her grave at this.

THINK No one cares what rgb wants. She’s dead and it’s not “her seat.” But I don’t want Barrett.

THINK The idea with SCOTUS is to have people cry when you die, not when you’re appointed.

THINK 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗶 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 $5,500 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗿 cronin 𝗶 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 trader_conin_fx

THINK Or just a pick you don’t agree with .

THINK

THINK Typical N BS

THINK How is that? It has nothing to do with her. You’re making something personal that simply isn’t.

THINK No matter who would take her seat, the media and Dems will still go completely insane and cry.

THINK That old lady was no one special on GOD list.

Potential Trump Supreme Court pick Barrett known for conservative religious viewsIn considering Amy Coney Barrett for the U.S. Supreme Court, President Donald Trump has turned to a federal appellate judge known for conservative religious views who liberals worry could become instrumental in rolling back abortion rights. Barrett, if nominated by Trump and confirmed by the Senate Of course. Republicans ain’t gonna pick no liberal or moderate. Certainly not a Democrat, not even a conservative Democrat, if there’s such a thing. 🤔 Hopefully she's got enough intellect and ethics to know that her own views should not factor into a court judgement.
