While President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett has stayed mostly tight-lipped throughout the week of confirmation hearings, her answers about certain legal precedents give at least some insight into which cases she believes were and weren’t wrongly decided.... [+]
Judiciary Committee on the third day of her Supreme Court confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill on October 14, 2020 in Washington, DC.Again and again over the three days of confirmation hearings, Barrett has responded to prods from Republicans and Democrats alike that she can’t answer in the “abstract” or mull on “hypotheticals,” citing late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s statement from her own confirmation hearing that a judge should give “no hints, no previews, no forecasts.
However, during questioning from Sen. Richard Blumenthal on Wednesday Barrett shifted from her hyper-cautious blanket refusal to comment on any cases to a revealing determination of some as “correctly decided.” Though she had previously determined it a “super-precedent”—a case that is so embedded in society it cannot be overruled—Barrett for the first time judged, a landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision to desegregate schools, to have been “correctly decided” by the court. , a 1967 civil rights decision that ruled it unconstitutional to ban interracial marriage.
conservative on cases relating to abortion, gun rights, immigration and discrimination. Sen. Amy Klobuchar pointed out on Wednesday that Barrett may become a deciding vote on the court.
She is a total embarrassment to our country today. She could not answer a softball question from someone who was going to vote for her. She could not remember what was in the constitution, the freedoms in the first amendment? For real? THIS is the best? Reminds me of DeVos.
The exceptions are on cases that she has either judged on or had commented on.

Where does Barrett stand on Brown v. Board of Education?Judge Barrett says she considers Brown v. Board of Education a 'super precedent.' Barrett added that a super precedent is 'a precedent that is so well established that it would be unthinkable that it would ever be overruled.' FILL THE SEAT! And this is why conservative judges or constitutional judges are wrong. They alone get to decide what is the law. When something is Super vs normal. 🤦🏼♂️ Barrett following Scalia’s *situational ethics* on precepts of “originalism” “strict construction” or “super precedent” precepts that would be abandoned by partisanship’s flighty whimsy!

Amy Coney Barrett Refuses To Comment On Protecting Roe V. WadeBarrett said she could not speculate on how she would decide on the case. Trump's Regeneron cure for Covid19 was developed using cells derived from aborted fetal tissue. Yes, Trump demanded they put aborted baby's cells in him to save him. MAGA2020 is a death cult. Christians are following a false prophet,adoring a false idol What a misleading headline. Typical and expected though. She said she would look at the constitution and precedent. How do you get away with this ethically? FILL THE SEAT! SHE IS AMAZING!

Barrett Says She Does Not Consider Roe V. Wade 'Super-Precedent'Amy Coney Barrett says she considers Brown v. Board of Education a 'super-precedent' — those cases 'so well settled that no political actors and no people seriously push for their overruling.' She does not consider Roe v. Wade to be among them. Fun fact: abortions will happen whether they are legal or not. Full stop. 'Replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Amy Coney Barrett is the equivalent of replacing Thurgood Marshall with Clarence Thomas. Making a mockery of meaningful representation with the worst possible version of tokenism available.' KaivanShroff Amy is a little girl with limited life experiences
