President Trump announces his Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, in the Rose Garden of the White House on Saturday.Olivier Douliery/AFP via Getty Images
From a White House Rose Garden draped with flags, Trump called nominating a Supreme Court justice one of the most important duties of his office and praised Barrett as a"one of our nation's most brilliant legal minds."Cheers rippled through the crowd of about 200 people when Trump finally said Barrett's name.
The judge said she has been inspired by Ginsburg's close relationship with Antonin Scalia, the late conservative justice for whom Barrett once clerked. "The stakes for our country are incredibly high," Trump said."Rulings that the Supreme Court will issue in the coming years will decide the survival of our Second Amendment, our religious liberty, our public safety and so much more. To maintain security, liberty and prosperity, we must maintain our priceless heritage of a nation of laws and there is no one better to do that than Amy Coney Barrett.
ncpr 'Fill the vacancy' maybe, but she will NEVER 'REPLACE' the true warrior for the rights of ALL women and humanitarian Ruth Bader Ginsburg! Her fights were never based on her religious beliefs.
It is too late. By next week, more than a million Americans will have participated in early voting.
Amy Coney Barrett looks a lot like Amy Adams.
RBG is probably rolling over in her grave... oh wait! That’s right, she hasn’t even been laid to rest yet. The GOP lacks the basic human decency to wait an appropriate amount of time before making their hypocritical power grab.
Another opportunity for Democrats, and especially disgusting Progressive to show us how LOW they can go. They will. Get Ready For Unhinged Attacks Shame on you for what you are going to do in coming weeks.
Dishonored Justice Ginsberg’s request/Hope!
👎👎👎👎👎👎
I would say RBG is rolling in her grave over the nomination, but of course, Trump didn’t even wait for her interment
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Vile.
I just can’t believe ANYONE with a modicum of decency would accept an appointment right now. To see her as anything but amoral and heartless is a mistake. NoScotusNow
Ouch
Thank God. Praise Jesus.
If she is as truthful to her religion as people say she is, she should do everything to avoid any association with a human scum who nominated her.
maybe she and Gorsuch can get together and explain how each has a seat
Super right wing wacko.
That is not a woman. Women have hearts where hers is missing.
Any real judge wouldn’t take an appointment now without knowing what’s expected of them. So she can fuck right off.
McConnell and Graham lied. Vote them out!
America will not be safe from Democrats who pledged to add seats and pack the court until they are resoundingly defeated in November. VOTE FOR AMERICA!! VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT!!!
Ah yes. The conservative majorities that represent our country. Because our country has a conservative majority. Right?
Barrett Oil company shill. Her father a lawyer for Shell Oil Company. Her agenda to pollute the air we breath and poison the water we drink.
There is no conservative majority - period. There are justices who legislate from the bench and those who don't. We all know who the legislators are...
Today’s Debate: Should religious extremists be allowed on the Supreme Court?
Holy shit snacks
Is it true that Amy Coney Barrett AND Brett Kavanaugh, and John Roberts all helped George W. Bush stop the 2000 recount in his battle against Al Gore, an election decided by 537 votes in Florida?
Just focus on the Senate... Pres. Biden can ignore the SCOTUS and there is NOTHING they can do about it if the Senate has a Dem majority. Thank you Andrew Jackass Jackson for showing the way! Each time Biden ignores the Supreme Court, Schumer can reiterate, 'this is the way.'
AmyConeyBarrett good mom... displays her common sense as she accepts nomination without ANY OF THEM wearing a mask...
TAKE BACK THE SENATE! MAKE IT BLUE
Wow, and he hasn't tried to 'grab it' yet? Kudos for restraint, donny!
The people who keep saying 'elections have consequences' can STFU now. First of all, the audience for that likely voted for Hillary. Secondly you should be saying 'this is what you get for not campaigning in swing states.' Stop blaming voters and blame those with power.
That sound you here is liberals' heads exploding.
An ultra-conservative who belongs to a fringe catholic cult. I encourage you begin hoarding birth control because after disassembing Roe v Wade allowing women to die, next step is a ban on birth control. god help LBGTQ. They will gun for you next to nullify any rights obtained.
'When ACB was nominated to be a judge on the 7th Circuit, every law clerk who had served with her at the Supreme Court, including Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s clerks, supported her nomination. “This view is unanimous,” She “is a woman of remarkable intellect & character.” ...'
YAY!!
I am sick to my stomach, so scary!
Here goes my health care
HandmaidsTale AmyConeyBarrett GOP
👎👎👎👎👎👎
Barrett is a reactionary - not conservative. Her views are a gateway to repealing key protections for women and minorities. This nominee is willing to take steps back, beyond Roe - which has been for 50 years. She will be loyal to Trump and support any dispute in November.
“Originalism” is a bullshit justification for terrible jurisprudence that only seems to be dragged out when it’s necessary to defend the indefensible. When the original language is too inconvenient, it’s disregarded.
she’s a republican, a soulless, power-hungry republican like trump and mcconnell and all the rest.
Trump has a philosophy? How? He can’t even spell any word longer than 6 letters! Bigly
She is not replacing Scalia. She is replacing RBG. She said of Garland that he was too far of a departure to replace Scalia. Again the hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty is disgusting.
if her philosophy is 'claims to be pro-life, dies anyway', then it could be worse
I don’t appreciate the Republican hypocricy and especially what they did to Judge Merrick Garland. But let’s focus on getting Trump, McConnel, Graham and the rest of the hypocritical morons/traitors out. It is not the first time we deal with a conservative court.
peopleofpraise
realDonaldTrump is fucing stupid. Why would you use your 'republicans need me to get this scotus seat' insurance card BEFORE being reelected?!!! After scotus seat, they'll ABANDON him.
Trump has a philosophy Watch this! 😝😷
🎉👏🏻
That statement is enough to terrify humankind.
We have to love the constitution of the United Staes of America.
But she said Garland couldn’t be nominated because he was too different from Scalia. Shouldn’t she be excluded for being too different from RBG?
What a great pick! God bless America.
Own the libs 😂
NPR has been all over this Barrett thing all week, like it was emails on a server or something.
She has the qualifications for her to deserve the role, but the way this is happening is awful, hypocritical, and they should’ve waited until the election.
F everyone and called it conservative or originalist or simple A$$ H%€!!
The cult grows bigger and bigger
So, lying bullshit.
This fuckin sucks man.
Can't wait to see the rampant infanticide in this country brought to a stop!
Its a cult. Not a philosophy. Imo.
Remember all of this. All of it.
I wonder how many abortions Trump has paid for over the years?
We are so screwed.
