If confirmed to the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett could culminate a decadeslong quest to ensure a conservative imprint on American law, affecting the role of government, the rights of individuals and the interpretation of such long-debated constitutional terms as equal protection, due process of law and cruel and unusual punishment.
Most Supreme Court appointees since 1969—15 of 19—were nominated by Republicans, but conservatives have fallen short of fully displacing numerous progressive legal doctrines that took hold...
The subtitle can be used on RBG
“Speculating about congressional desires is a dicey enterprise, which is one reason among many that we should stick to the text,” Judge Barrett wrote [ironically] earlier this month.
It ought to acknowledged that SC decisions have overturned because they were indefensible. Remember the decision that said, essentially, that a black slave was like a cow. You stilled owned the cow even if the place you visited outlawed cow ownership.
Why aren’t you reporting on the millions of ppl out of work about to lose everything We have over 20 mill w/cmprmsd immune systems THAT CANT WORK, most had 2 work 2 jobs B4 Covid! UI only pays PART of one salary! We R about to lose everything n MSM needs to be reporting this!!
There was no precedent to Roe v Wade... it was a classic example of 'legislating from the bench.' And a horrific tragedy, as abortion is one of the worst genocides in human history. I would suggest the precedent of Roe v Wade also be summarily discarded when it is reviewed.
How fun! A Constitutionalists nominated by someone who never follows it and trashes it daily. So hilarious I forgot to laugh.
All women in the midst of motherhood should be banned from any work outside the home until the youngest turns 16. The children don’t deserve a mother who splits her attention and the nation doesn’t deserve a SCJ who is naturally more fixated on her children.
In your opinion.
Is it OK for us to check the author of the article to see how they slant issues in their articles?
Stare decisis is Latin for 'to stand by things decided.' In short, it is the doctrine of precedent. For detail:
They can place a hold on her which is a Senatorial procedure/parliamentary thing BernieSanders can explain or set me straight
Taking away health care for 22 million people in the middle of a Pandemic . Smart
Why does it seem like every headline nowadays is poorly worded. This is terrible.
Once again: the right is serious about power. The left is only serious about theory.
Trump said it. Ted Cruz confirmed it. She will always be seen as the justice thrust upon America to corrupt the political election of a president. Period. Doesn't matter what she ever says or does from now on. We know why she's nominated before Ruth's buried.
Kickass, 83.5% of true Americans believe in her and the constitution.
'conservative imprint' in this case is a euphemism for the 'Far Right Wing Federalist Society's 1%ers thumb print'
God help us
It's like playing Dodgeball and we get the last pick. Trump 2020 Amy c. Barret 2020
When has American law never been Conservative? 😆 🤣 Just because civil rights laws passed & some people got some rights in the past few decades does not mean anything changed lol. Guess ya'll can't wait to go back to the heady days pre-1960s.
BS Not a conservative videoing but judges who interpret the law as written as opposed to the liberal members of the SC who believe that they make policy
Now we get to see a bunch of old white racist men set back America a generation. Feminist represents represionists. She may be smart but she doesn’t represent my ‘smart’.
Nice
*fingers crossed*
So in other words, an Amy Coney Barrett costume for Halloween should rank as the scariest one of the year.
Liberals wanted to remove child pornography laws and lower the age of consent to 12. Liberals want to chop up 1,000,000 babies every year because it's fun. A Liberal court would be OK with burning buildings, looting and rioting. I don't have a problem with new court!
Outstanding !!!!!
What does is mean? WTF? It means we are going to slow down the communist take over of the USA. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke Doesn't anyone think of their children's future under the new democrats.
There is no constitutional limit on the number of Supreme Court justices- and the number has fluctuated down the years- until 1869. It has remained at 9 since then- but there is no reason the incoming Democrats couldn't appoint however many they wished to? 13 sounds about right?
Have to wonder whether Trump engaged with Barr and the guys in any Oval Office “locker room talk” about Amy Coney Barrett before introducing her in the Rose Garden. If he did, Trump knows of course that his fellow Republicans would surely have no issue with that.
Phyllis Schlafly is dancing in her grave !
Dems will expand the court of they win
When confirmed will ...... It’s going to happen no matter how hard you tweet....
Fact Check: Roberts isn’t a Conservative. The jury is still out on Gorsuch & Kavanaugh.
No she won't. She's on the wrong side of history. Most Americans do not agree with her. Eventually that will matter. No court can continue to make decisions against the will of the people and survive.
American lawmakers should just make more, better American law.
In other words it aligns with the views of the silent majority
Americans must now all have Catholic believes? No I talk directly with God not telling a Priest. I take wine & wafer for my forgiveness not the Priest drinking the wine.
Desperately needed, because if the country wants to move in dramatically toward Progressivism, it should affirmatively vote to do so, not have it imposed from above by an activist court beyond the reach of the ballot.
Oh sorpresa, hay mujeres de ultra derecha.
I just left a conservative imprint in my toilet bowl.
How is it that even the WSJ didn't know that there was already a conservative majority on the Supreme Court for like decades?
ROCK and ROLL!!!!!!!
Excellent
🤢🤮 poor USpeople
What will happen to women’s rights, equal rights for all. This is a very sad time in America’s history.
Way overdue
'conservative' = constitutional
Great choice Mr. President.
Not if. When.
Do we really want someone who criticized John Roberts for supporting healthcare and believes that 70% of Americans are wrong for supporting Roe v Wade?
Better than letting things continue down the far left path, it’s starting to devolve into anarchy as it usually does
A court that does not reflect the will of the majority of Americans. Americans have already lost faith in the objectivity of the Supreme Court
There goes real freedom
Hoosiers are really going to like it when they lose their Healthy Indiana Plan and Medicaid benefits, which are largely funded by the Affordable Care Act. Congratulations on such a wonderful justice choice. Still waiting for Trump's perfect and wonderful healthcare plan.
Conservative and Libertarian are not the same thing.
That would be the goal. Everyone knows that
Trump is going to get two more after her. Psst, you lose. And you’re part of why. FakeNews
It’s not a conservative imprint. It’s upholding the laws as Congress passed them subject to constitutional scrutiny.
Supreme Court Justice replacement - Ginsberg vs. When and Who?
It's not just Roe that's in danger, it's Civil Rights, Equal Rights, hell why not just reverse Brown vs Board of Education and take us back to the 1950's. 'Happy Day's' my ass. What's next? A State religion? Is it too late for us to go back to England? SCOTUS
This is true only because libs want it that way.
SCOTUS was meant to be Neutral, not partisan and now will look like this for the next 30 years: Damn!
Its not right when the seats are stolen.
Great for assholes like on the opinion
Thank you SusanSarandon
The Supreme Court has had a conservative majority for over 20 years now
That she would even consider this nomination, against the wishes of the majority of Americans, from a vulgar, admitted sexual assaulter who would be indicted if not holding office of the president, is all you need to know about Mrs Barrett's character.
Why so quick to nominate a new justice, yet they can't pass a stimulus bill to help millions of Americans thru this pandemic? Easy answer, selfish self interests rule the day.
It should have been this way a long time ago. 'In God We Trust' and yet keep playing God. Wake up!
Is that a bad thing based on today's Depraved Criminalistic Behaviors.
Bollocks.
AmyCoatHangerBarrett
Thus affirming my deeply held belief that their complaints of liberal judicial activism were merely a projection of their aspirations once they held a majority.
Not necessarily. All judges can be removed. ZEALOTS do not belong there.
Correction, corporatist view... not conservative. Big business and big bankers not a history of constitutional findings as per the intentions of the founders
Welcome to great america another radical theocracy full of men with fragile egos that need to keep women in line... sounds like 🤔 hmmmm oh yeah middle east... we are becoming everything we fought agains.. fascist autocratic state... freedom was just an illusion...
Why is interpreting the law AS WRITTEN a conservative imprint. Shouldn’t it be that way 100%?
Exactly, whose quest is this? Not the majority of the country’s.
She is an originalist. The way it should have always been.
Sound about right. She is a true Patriot.
A imprint on a country where the majority of the citizens aren’t conservatives
Thank God.
Thank you Mr. President! potus realDonaldTrump vp gop Godspeed!
CyrusToulabi JudgeHandmaid who's only been a judge for 4 years, should never have been nominated 38 days before an election. BlockBarrett
The Constitution is the middle. Ms Barrett is not interested in a mob or a King. tt:AndrewCMcCarthy batchelorshow VDHanson
Protecting essence in virtues intrinsic to🇺🇸law from very start-ideals reasoned into law thru justification of principles that are at their core. Thus a system of law that has maintained most harmonious & cooperative civil society-adheres to norms Left will destroy-moral planning
About time
He may be had some sort of sexual relationship with her too, to keep her mouth shut should give her control of American security. He sold American future to a bi***, just to keep her mouth shut. Congratulations to American.
Why does the GOP hate America
Good!
Good
The conservative majority was already there with Kavanaugh. This confirmation would further entrench a majority that’s already been won. Thus ensuring judicial dominance and rule by the minority.
Even though the majority of Americans have rejected conservatism.
the is a conservative supreme court now for over 30 years, contrary to the development in society (since 1988 conservatives have not won the popular vote except once). the senate even thought democrats are in the minority, they represent 15 million more Americans...
Elections have consequences
Very distressing......
Hope she doesn’t go Souter on us.
As per Wiki, 7 children from 8 to 19 and with one special care. How practically it is possible to do job by a SC judge with that condition !!!
Oddly by definition law in the US was intended to be conservative and to not be restrictive of a citizens life, liberty or pursuit of their own happiness.
As a 'majority' of the country weeps
US is imploding
Does the WSJ want to endorse the GOP coup for the USA to become a one party system? Why? What's wrong with democracy? Vote for Biden/Harris. Care for all. Reject the GOP coup. =
You mean “a constitutionalists imprint on American law.”
If
The weakness and uselessness of the party of opposition is revolting. The Handmaids Tale is one step away thanks for the Democratic Party. Shame. Shame. Shame.

No confirmation before inauguration. The voters deserve to choose who appoints Justice Ginsburg's succesor.
The United States of America accounts for about 4 percent of the world’s population but 22 percent of its confirmed Covid-19 deaths. That’s 100% on Trump. The most catastrophic leadership failure in American history.
You mean when.
*When
Please retweet and follow us. We need 1,000 more followers to help us REMOVE the most corrupt president in US history.
Republicans are rushing to put a justice on the Supreme Court who will back their lawsuit to overturn the Affordable Care Act, kicking millions off their health care and raising their costs in the middle of the pandemic.
What creeps me out is that she has talked with him&accepted the nomination even when she knows the majority of the people want to wait until after the election. So,she is taking advantage of the power of the scum that are complicit with a liar,pervert,cheater and psychopath.
Congratulations to Amey Coney Barret. I will pray for you. This is a magnificent achievement and across the world we celebrate great accomplishments regardless of the fact that we are not American. But excellence goes beyond geography
Must See!! Amy Coney Baretts Amazing Acceptance Speech of Donald J Trump's Election Nomination!
This is what it would mean: 'I love the United States and I love the United States Constitution. I am truly humbled by the prospect of serving on the Supreme Court.'
Her nomination is in sharp contrast to all that has been done by the women’s suffrage movement. I wonder if her husband gave her PERMISSION to take the job?!
Russian law
AMERICA!! We're back in ass kicking mode!
I am disappointed the MS Lagoa was not chosen who is the epitome of the American dream and is more well rounded.
Disaster and regression is the answer.
NoHandmaidJudge NoJudgeOfjesse DemocracyIsBeingSlaughtered
😷 There are many congressional Democrats who are drafting a NEW set of articles of impeachment for immediate debate & discussion. The goal is to block & stop ACB's nomination & confirmation in it's tracks. What does America think; impeachment immediately?
Yugggggeee
BREAKING! President Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett who graduated 1 in her class at Notre Dame Law School. Meanwhile, Joe didn't actually attend the school he claims!
Divide & Conquer. Wake up people.
I liked Amy’s warm speech. In Memory of Ruth who was a pioneer for woman. I think that Amy is a good candidate and that she will surprise many women.
Why rush Scotus nomination?, Wait after elections realDonaldTrump or are you afraid you will lose to JoeBiden ? Vote
Because nothing has changed since the Constitution was written, isn't that right? And the writers were so smart they could imagine what the country would be like 200+ years later and foresaw every possible thing that would happen. Right.
Not against you Judge BUT YOU should know better! GARBAGE AT THE WHITE HOUSE ALL OF THEM THAT SUPPORT THIS!!! HONOR RUTH'S WISH!!
HereHere! 😀👏🎬 RockTheRed!
Nothing good.
If she loved the USA and Constitution she would say to the occupant “ lets wait until the next president is elected!” VOTE! BIDEN/ HARRIS Amy McGrath / KY Jaime Harrison/SC Sarah Gideon /ME Mark Kelly /AZ Hickenlooper/CO Rev.Warnock/GA Cunningham/NC Bullock / MT MJ Hegar/TX
Her appointment means the law will be interpreted, not created, as originally intended by the Court.
Trump losers are happy.
Read it and weep libs!
What an amazing woman and decision.
Amy Coney Barrett is as right wing and as extreme as they come. We must do everything possible to stop her nomination. She will negatively effect the course of the country for decades.
