In 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

WASHINGTON - In 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.

During her 2017 confirmation hearing for her current post, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein told Barrett,"The dogma lives loudly within you." Barrett told the senators that her religious faith would not affect her decisions as a judge. In 2018, Barrett was among the 7th Circuit judges who sought reconsideration of a decision that invalidated a Republican-backed Indiana law requiring that fetal remains be buried or cremated after an abortion. The Supreme Court in 2019 reinstated the law.

Barrett indicated support for gun rights in a 2019 dissent when she objected to the court ruling that a nonviolent felon could be permanently prohibited from possessing a firearm. After serving as a Supreme Court clerk for Justice Antonin Scalia, a stalwart conservative who died in 2016, and working at a couple of law firms, Barrett returned to Notre Dame as a professor until joining the bench.

Barrett has also spoken publicly about her conviction that life begins at conception, according to a 2013 article in Notre Dame Magazine.

Imagine that, someone to push for brotherly love, and harmony, and unifying our nation, respect and caring for each other; these are things the left fights against, this is how ridiculous they are.

CULT

Dramatic gasp

The liberal media have frequently described Biden, in an approving way, as a 'devout Catholic.' So why is Barrett's devout Catholicism suddenly a problem? The only difference is that Barrett really IS a devout Catholic. Biden merely claims to be.

WILL SHE SPEAK IN TONGUES ON THE BENCH IF SHE MAKES IT...?

She is very much out of the norm - her views are way way out there! THUMBS DOWN

Hopefully she's got enough intellect and ethics to know that her own views should not factor into a court judgement.

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. 🤔
