Amy Coney Barrett is a front runner for President Trump's Supreme Court nomination. Here's what you need to know about how she made it to the top of the list. 👇

at Barrett’s 2017 Senate hearing for her Seventh Circuit nomination as possible evidence that she believed Catholic jurists must either adhere to church teachings or recuse themselves.

Patrick Schiltz, now a federal district court judge in Minnesota, also joined the Notre Dame law faculty in 1995 and championed Barrett, according to former colleagues. Schiltz, whose chambers did not respond to a request for comment made over the weekend, had clerked for Scalia as a D.C. appeals court judge, before helping prepare him for his nomination to the Supreme Court, where Schiltz then clerked for Scalia again.

It has become common, as competition for elite clerkships has intensified, for endorsements from professors and former clerks to be instrumental to securing a spot. But Barrett’s peers described the effort that Notre Dame professors put into promoting Barrett’s career as extraordinary.

Scary crap

THE INSANE GERMANS FOLLOWED HITLER, & INSANE AMERICANS FOLLOW INSANE tRUMP. RE-IMPEACH CORRUPT trump AND republicons. FIX CLIMATE CHANGE, NOT ELECTIONS. CON REPUBLICONS KNEW ABOUT CORONA VIRUS FOR YEARS & DID NOTHING BUT CUT THE CDC, VACCINES, W.H.O., ACA HEALTH CARE IN THE

There is NO 'Separation between Church and State' as there should be according to the constitution.

Amy may be 4 pro-life but she is also 4 the poor, the homeless, she won’t accept taking away people their Heath care N she is not 4 walls! If she is a true Catholic like me she should know what Jesus wants from her N not what Trump wants from her! She will do the right thing!🤔👏

There is no replacing RBG

Why does she hate women?

Under the extreme circumstances of this nomination (impending election, majority unpopular President, disingenuous Senate majority and leader, etc., etc., ad nauseam) it is troubling that this nomination would be accepted. It's clearly being made for crass political purposes.

Tic tic tic tic.....news flash, the left is against highly educated women....ok run with that, see where it gets you.

Communism u mean!

Great now let's dig into the 'hand maiden' stuff the right wingers are staying up nights scrubbing from her records.

One more Federalist Society flunky.

Her scholarly writings place many of her religious beliefs at issue -

Smart women scare liberals

Love it America will keep on the right path for decades to come!!!

Lock it in, this is your final answer.

Extremism. Rigidity. Authoritarianism.

In other words, she had the glassy-eyed look of a fanatical True Believer and anyone could see it.

Proud Catholic

Wonder how well she knows Donnie?

In a democracy, grooming leaders sounds antithetical. We should not all look alike or sound alike, have the same views for a democracy to work. But the Federalist society has had one image of America, and that is completely against what a democracy is all about.

Fuck American medical system! Fuck American medical efficiency! Fuck American medical procedures! Too slow and irresponsible! Should allow foreign hospitals and doctors to join American health market to improve competitiveness!

She best enjoy her existence on this plain. Her soul isn't going to enjoy where it goes in the afterlife. There are consequences for missing the mark.

Impeached Presidents should not pick SCOTUS judges.

Do Not Fill the Seat. Do Not Support this Nomination. WeThePeople RoeVWade UnderHisEye VoteHimOut RGB

Conservative Catholics have been plotting a take over of the Supreme Court for that long. Why? Because they are ignored by society as a whole, are unelectable, but have a deep-seated need to control people's nasty nasty private parts.

Just remember, Hell is empty. All the devils work for Trump. Does this woman want to do his bidding?

realDonaldTrump made the right decision in chosing Amy Coney Barrett. She an originalist and not far off on any ideological scale.

IT DOESNT MATTER ABOUT ABORTION YET. IT MATTERS FIRST ACA AND THEN IT MATTERS ABOUT THE ELECTION. HE IS AEATING HER SO HE CAN TAKE THE ELECTION WHICH WILL BE CONTESTED BECAUSE HE IS ALREADY SOING THAT. WAKE UP

Oh brother! She's an excellent pick. She is very fair and sticks to the law.

How does Politico allow SchreckReports to write such a bigoted article? That Catholic culture warriors plan their conquest of the Federal Judiciary decades in advance? More likely, a Rhodes College/Notre Dame grad, w/ 5 pregnancies, and dull record, is lucky, not a conspiracy.

she just looks like a witch to me

Without reading it is the answer promising to help him stay in power if he loses the election?

Thats good to know. I'm liking her more and more.

ofdonald

realDonaldTrump you going to throw free wire hangers to women?

She believes MEN are better than WOMEN. 🖕🖕🖕🖕 HER

Hello, Aunt Lydia.

She'll be a great Justice

Why her Such an important job... with a huge family life Isn't that what's wrong with alot of children today? Work before kids

But, Wow. Bigoted attacks on Catholics and Christians now from liberals like SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer JoeBiden HillaryClinton RepAOC AOC SupremeCourtJustice

She wants to let mothers die to appease her religious extremism. She is pro forced birth even when the mothers life is in danger. She’s an absolute psychopath. AmyConeyBarrettPsychopath

You're worried about religion based decision making and zealotry, huh? ARE YOU REALLY? 'Biden, who carries a rosary in his pocket and attends Mass every Sunday, is known as a deeply devout person of faith...the most overtly devout Democratic campaign...'

”John 15:18-21: “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.'

3 years as a federal judge? She definitely said nice things about Trump so she deserves it. Who needs qualified people on the SCOTUS?

Hysteric leftists have already attacked Amy Coney Barrett as a 'Catholic extremist,' 'Jesus freak' and Handmaid's-esque religious bigot. Wondering if they will pull a 'Kavanaugh' and roll out some crazy accusers...

Don't trust . Fake News

Women hatin women is the kinda woman we need judging women...

Oh how Handmaids Tale of Trump and this disgusting choice!

If Republicans just care about power then we need to play by their rules. We need to vote Dems in up and down the ballot and then do everything. Make Puerto Rico and DC states, Green New Deal, $15 dollar minimum wage and balancethecourts

It is what it is! Yes, it was the American people that voted for Trump in BUT...A lot of Democrats, independents and the Bernie club members stayed at home or wrote in 3rd party candidates. Not voting in Elections can have severe consequences!!

We need to know what rulings/decisions she's made that run counter to her religious beliefs. If she's ever ruled based on her religious beliefs, she's then forced her religious beliefs on the subject(s) of those rulings/decisions. Do members of SCOTUS have the right to do that?🤔

A privileged woman sending poor women back to butchers and back alley abortions 🤮

Can’t see them overturning R v W. no way. BUT the abortionists HAVE gone way too far, no one can honestly deny that.

Groomed to bring to life The Handmaid's Tale.

BLACK BABIES MATTER - PPFA abortion on demand offered to blacks in inner city is BLACK GENOCIDE. Thanks to realDonaldTrump SCOTUS will now defend black babies. senatemajldr senateGOP do you think SenSchumer would hesitate to confirm an abortion on demand Justice for Obama?

Hell no

To Dump Trump because he's Trump and to Dump Biden because he's going to raise your taxes... Please vote for Make America Amazing on November 3rd 2020 Get your money back AMERICA get your money back AMERICA...and sure don't let BIDEN take no more

Anyone else think she has crazy eyes? There is something diabolical about her look. Doesn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy! CrazyEyesAmy

Got_It 👊🏻 TrumPutin2020 🇷🇺

She is allowed her beliefs, she is not allowed to bring those beliefs to her rulings. The fact that she has proven unable to be impartial makes he unqualified to sit on any bench.

Hey leftists, I hope you enjoy watching this women sit in RBG's former seat and undo much of what RGB did as a justice.

politico : This is a sensible judgement by President Trump in appointment of Amy Coney Barrett. Her three years as a top judge is an important choice especially on her decisions on ABORTION to make it legal and inform parents on preceding from hospitals!🤳🇺🇸

Under his eye...

Waaaaay too inexperienced for the Supreme Court. But, now that the Republicans have stained the Sup Court with their political desires, they are unlikely to stop. America will become the land of back-alley abortions. Thanks to hypocritical politicians and supposed evangelicals.

I think it will be Lagoda. Fl. Hispanics are critical to realDonaldTrump re election. Evangelicals will vote for Trump regardless.

She has been groomed since when?

Sounds like the death knell for Roe v. Wade.

Kneepads.

She could be the 2nd coming of Jesus & Dems will find fault no matter what...Dems now desperately interviewing her grade school friends to see if she stole pudding at lunch

All I need to know is that a traitor nominated her

Politico, a minion of the wall street arm controlling the democratic party. I have to apologize to myself for following such garbage. unfollow.

You might as well nominate her husband as he’ll make the decisions.

I‘m sure she’s some religious zealot which just what you want in an impartial arbiter of the law. Look harder at her background for some QAnonsense

WONDERFUL!!!

Her KOOKY religion will dictate what others get to have for FREEDOM.

Another ANTI CHOICE nut job.

right wing, religious fanatic, unqualified, anti democracy, antiother who intends to kill ACA & Roe, & oppress anyone who doesn't believe what she does, including women who believe in Choice, & religious freedom..

I hope she is squeaky clean. A shame she will be assaulted by the left.

Who will perform all those abortions for Republican women?

RIP separation of church and state :/

Well, she's young so her Trump views will be with her on the supreme Court Bench making decisions for many many years...

Any questions from Judiciary Committee members about her Catholic faith should be quickly rejected and labeled as anti-Catholic as they would be if she were Jewish subjected to anti-Semitic questions. IngrahamAngle SenFeinstein SenWhitehouse realDonaldTrump LindseyGrahamSC

She is a nut job.

Ugh. The female Mike Pence and the polar opposite of RBG. She probably wants to see “The Handmaid’s Tale” re-made one day as a documentary.

She promised to vote on his side in a contested election, to dump the ACA and Roe v Wade.

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.
