Golly, “dramatically flip the balance of power” from 4 Ultra-Looney-Lefty Libtard Anti-Constitutionalists plus one Left-Centrist in Roberts plus 4 Constitutionalists - to a complete flip of balance to 3 Anti-Constitutionalists plus 1 Left-Centrist plus 5 Constitutionalists.
How dramatic. How will anybody be able to destroy the Constitution with such a balance?

After Dems Fake Claiming the last 6 months that all Senate business can be conducted in Virtual Session, now suddenly with a SCOTUS appointment they Fake Claim that an Advise and Consent Hearing cannot be done in Virtual Session.

Since some of them saw the debate, they claim that they could have gotten the virus from Trump through the TV. So they must delay Senate Confirmation until after they steal the Election.

Barrett Belongs to a Legitimate Hate Group
https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/alliance
-defending-freedom


Founded by some 30 leaders of the Christian Right, the Alliance Defending Freedom is a legal advocacy and training group that has:

Supported the recriminalization of sexual acts between consenting LGBTQ adults in the U.S. and criminalization abroad
Defended state-sanctioned sterilization of trans people abroad
Contended that LGBTQ people are more likely to engage in pedophilia
Claimed that a “homosexual agenda” will destroy Christianity and society
ADF also works to develop “religious liberty” legislation and case law that will allow the denial of goods and services to LGBTQ people on the basis of religion. Despite its regular defamation of LGBTQ people, the group has managed to win special advisory status at the United Nations, in the European Union, and with the Organization of American States. Since the election of President Trump, ADF has become one of the most influential groups informing the administration’s attack on LGBTQ rights

The Senate went into recess Monday afternoon following the news that at least three Republican senators were waylaid with Covid-19.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had a near-invincible upper hand to confirm Barrett, but now his control is far from certain amid the virus outbreak, which seems to have been spread rapidly by the very ceremony that kicked off the confrontation: a reckless White House party to celebrate the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

Both GOP Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine have said that it is inappropriate to go forward with a vote before the election. If they joined with Democrats to deny a quorum, they would be able to put their assertion into action.

How we define the truth matters, especially for someone serving on the supreme court.

Barrett’s anti-abortion views have come to bear in public stances. In 2015, she signed a letter to Catholic bishops affirming the value of “life from conception” alongside prominent anti-choice figures such as Marjorie Dannenfeiser, president of anti-choice fundraising organization the Susan B Anthony List. As a law professor at Notre Dame, Barrett was a member of the anti-abortion group University Faculty for Life, and in 2006, she signed a paid ad in a South Bend newspaper that called for “an end to the barbaric legacy of Roe v Wade". In 2013, she delivered two talks to anti-abortion student groups at Notre Dame. Barrett has also been critical of the Affordable Care Act guarantee that requires employers to provide birth control to their employees.

Like the late Justice Scalia, for whom she clerked, Barrett is a self-described textualist and originalist; she interprets the US constitution based on its plain language and an attempted understanding of the intent and mindset of the original drafters. Barrett has also written that, in her view, it is appropriate and legitimate for judges to overturn precedents when they conflict with their personal interpretation of the constitution.

I have a problem when evidence exists, in words and actions, that her faith paired with her legal theory might compel her to make decisions that would negatively impact the lives, agency and wellbeing of generations of Americans.

Charles Koch’s Big Bet on Barrett

For almost 50 years, the multibillionaire has been pushing for a court unfriendly to regulation of the market. He may be on the brink of victory.

Charles Koch has activated his political network to support Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination, and to tip the scales on her nomination battle in the U.S. Senate. While much of the commentary about Judge Barrett’s nomination has focused on the real prospect that Roe v. Wade may be undermined or overturned, Mr. Koch has other concerns. Judge Barrett’s nomination is the latest battleground in his decades-long war to reshape American society in a way that ensures that corporations can operate with untrammeled freedom. It may be a pivotal one.

Since the early 1970s, Mr. Koch has sought to dismantle most federal regulatory institutions, and the federal courts have been central to that battle. In 1974, Mr. Koch gave a blistering speech to a libertarian think tank, called the Institute for Humane Studies, in which he outlined his vision of the American regulatory state, and the strategy he would employ over the ensuing decades to realize that vision. On the list of government interventions he condemned were “confiscatory taxation, wage and price controls, commodity allocations programs, trade barriers, restrictions on foreign investments, so-called equal opportunity requirements, safety and health regulations, land use controls, licensing laws, outright government ownership of businesses and industries.” As if that list were not exhaustive enough, he added “… and many more interventions.” In short, Charles Koch believes that an unregulated free market is the only sustainable structure for human society.

The Koch network apparently has faith that Judge Barrett will rule in concert with these beliefs.

Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court hearing is a formality, but Democrats have one last card. Here is how to play that card:

Every day in 2016, Trump seemed to do something crazier and more extreme than the last. Instead of being a blessing, it ended up luring us into a game of self-defeating political whack-a-mole, pushing dozens of different messages against Trump that never really had a chance to take hold with the public. On the other side, Republicans were able to prosecute a single message that involved Hillary Clinton's emails. And we all know which one proved more effective.

We need to apply the lessons from 2016 to this fight and hit Senate Republicans where it hurts — over and over again. That means pushing a single, clear message that anyone who votes to confirm Barrett is really voting to take away millions of Americans' health care in the middle of a pandemic.

If we make it that simple, we can make it really difficult for Trump and Mitch McConnell.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court is Charles Koch's goal. Do you not realize that someone in your lowly position has surrendered to Koch? First, you gave away your life to people who employed you. They could do what they want to you while you are their employee. You avoid that by being unemployed. Next, you will give away your life to anybody with a gun and a bad temper. You can avoid that by making yourself passive, small and invisible. The US is already on the path to becoming a Jamaica, a nice place for the international rich who use it to hide their wealth from tax collectors, but for the lower 99%, a country with the second highest murder rate in the world.

Charles Koch will be very pleased when the lower classes kill each other to preserve Charles Koch's wealth and make his dream come true: few laws limiting what Koch can do and many laws limiting what the lower classes can do.

Millions of dollars are boosting Barrett's nomination - that money is flooding in because she has consistently been a corporate rubber stamp. The GOP doesnt want anyone talking about this record, because it shows that Barrett's nomination is a betrayal of America's working class.

6ix, you are poor because your head is full of falsehoods. It's very clear to me, but never to you, that Charles Koch will crush you into the mud and not feel bad about it while he freely helps people like me to get richer. Charles Koch tells everyone truthfully his goals. George Soros, similarly, tells everyone truthfully his goals. Koch looks bad because his goals are bad. Soros looks good because his goals are good, but these completely oppose Koch's goals. What is Koch to do about Soros? It is easy for Koch to find talkative agents to widely spread falsehoods about Soros' goals.

Despite her efforts to tell the committee as little as possible about her beliefs, Barrett revealed an enormous amount about her judicial philosophy. In her opening statement on Monday, she told the committee that “courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life.”

After some close questioning it became evident that meant the real-world consequences of the decisions she will make should not be relevant to her, the Senate, or the general public. If Barrett's decision means 20 million Americans lose their health coverage and 100 million people lose their protections for preexisting conditions, Barrett does not care because she has higher and very abstract values she will be upholding once on the Supreme Court. She figuratively told the Democrats that it was too goddamn bad if they don't like it because she is gonna do it whether they like it or not.

You have idealized the meaning of "poor". You live on $4,500 per year and don't have a job but do have a hot air inflated ego as big as a Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon held down by a dozen fat men.

Kamala Harris cited, like many of the Democratic senators before her, the academic writing in which Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett criticized the legal opinion of Justice John Roberts upholding the Affordable Care Act, as happening just months before President Trump initially nominated her for US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in 2017.

Appearing in the confirmation virtually, Harris asked, “My question is how many months after you published that article did President Trump nominate you to be a judge on the Court of Appeals?”

Barrett, without notes, said she did not remember that timing of her article—and Harris followed up that it was published in January 2017—and Trump nominated Barrett in May 2017.

“In other words, the Affordable Care Act and all its protections hinge on this seat and the outcome of this hearing. And I believe it's very important the American people understand the issues at stake, and what's at play,” Harris said.

The California senator then asked Barrett if she – before her current nomination—knew of Trump’s vows to choose a SCOTUS nominee that would strike down the ACA.

I make $4,500 last an entire year, with ease, without wanting for anything.

That says nothing of what my income is now, or has been in the past.

I've also have zero debt to anybody for over 15 years and never worry about where my next meal is coming from or how to pay the bills.


Definition of poor:

lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society.

I'm quite comfortable. I'm not a wasteful consumer. Anything that I don't have is for a lack of desire to have meaningless material possessions. I laugh when my brother goes on a family cruise vacation to Disney once a year and they spend more than I need to live... comfortably.

Most Americans spend more on interest in a year than I do for everything I need to live.





I get to do what I want to, when I want to, because I haven't enslaved myself with debt and I am the sole owner of everything I have.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

It turns out that Republican appointees to the Supreme Court have, with remarkable consistency, delivered rulings that advantage the big corporate and special interests that are, in turn, the political lifeblood of the Republican Party. Several of these decisions have been particularly flagrant and notorious: Citizens United v. FEC, Shelby County v. Holder, and Janus v. AFCME. But there are many. Under Chief Justice Roberts’ tenure through the end of October Term 2017-2018, Republican appointees have delivered partisan rulings not three or four times, not even a dozen or two dozen times, but 73 times. Seventy-three decisions favored Republican interests, with no Democratic appointee joining the majority. On the way to this judicial romp, the “Roberts Five” were stunningly cavalier with any doctrine, precedent, or congressional finding that got in their way.

In my trees there are squirrels with lovely homes where their children are raised. They have no debt. They are not slaves. They do as they please and appear to be very satisfied with themselves and their achievements. That's as good as they can do, being squirrels. I'm not shocked that the loftiest ambitions of the typical Trump lover are the same as squirrel ambitions. And I'm not surprised when squirrels are more successful than Trump lovers because squirrels either know what they are doing or they end up dead in their first year, while Trump lovers linger on and on, year after year, struggling to get by, never understanding that it is not the fault of Democrats that Republicans are no more capable of looking after themselves than a three year old squirrel.

Anybody I know who has high paying jobs is in debt up to their eyeballs.

They always have to have the newest Chinese made shit and drive around cars that lose 50% of their value in less than 2 years. And then they buy another one.

Shell Oil has a case before the Supreme Court that could undermine all climate litigation; Barrett has direct ties to Shell.

Amy Barrett claimed yesterday that she doesn't have firm views on climate change - but her dad was a longtime Shell Oil lawyer, and Shell now has a major case before the Supreme Court that Barrett may be serving on.

Follow the money. A must-watch.

On the second day of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, one senator spent his time trying to zoom out to the bigger picture rather than questioning the judge. As he has done before, Democratic Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse tried to explain his concerns about how dark money, the Federalist Society, and the Judicial Crisis Network have been fueling the conservative campaign to seat Supreme Court justices.

The words sincerely and Ted Cruz have never been used in the same sentence before but Sen. Ted Cruz seemed sincerely rattled by Whitehouse’s exposé of how dark money is fueling Republican priorities and producing anti-democratic legal outcomes, and Sen. Lindsey Graham looked stricken at times while Whitehouse laid out how organizations like the Bradley Foundation and Donors Trust funnel money to Republican priorities without revealing the donors.

The trouble with explaining a complicated network of influence is that it starts to sound, well, conspiratorial. That’s because these are actual, well, conspiracies! And there are a lot of confusing moving parts!

Cruz and Graham did not look happy with Whitehouse. Republican senators strive to keep these hearings high-minded and abstract; see Republicans Mike Lee and Ben Sasse’s civics lessons about how the Constitution clearly says only Republicans are allowed to appoint Supreme Court justices. Whitehouse didn’t even bother to play their game. He just showed us who’s funding it.

it’s all too easy for Republicans to simply dismiss Whitehouse as a conspiracy theorist. Republicans do have a dark-money network that they tap to fund these judicial confirmation battles. But it’s opaque and contorted—by design, because that’s how dark money works. The donors don’t want the American people to know they’re pouring tens of millions of dollars into these battles. So they (legally) launder their money through phony nonprofits. And that, at bottom, was what Whitehouse was trying to explain with his big red Sharpie.

Barrett: Only “virtuous” citizens should have the right to vote
https://thepeoplesherald.news/barrett-only-virtuous-citizens-should-ha
ve-the-right-to-vote
/

While much of the coverage of the hearings have focused on the important issue of preexisting conditions and the ACA, I think that more attention needs to be focused on statements made during Sen. Duck Durbin and Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s questioning. During their questioning, they pointed out that Amy Coney Barrett wrote in a court opinion, unrelated to voting rights, that it should be easier to take away someone’s voting rights than to take away their right to own a gun. As Amy Klobuchar pointed out, she had even stated that only “virtuous” citizens should have the right to vote. Since she refused to answer Klubuchar’s question about what “virtuous” actually meant, we are forced to wonder who she might deem unworthy of voting.

Considering her extreme fundamentalist religious views that are out of step with the American populace, it is likely her definition of virtue is far different than most Americans’. In fact, in one ruling from her past, she had claimed there was no evidence that the use of the n-word “created a hostile or abusive working environment”. So it seems what most Americans would consider to be overt racism and categorically unacceptable, somehow gets by that virtue test.

Another point highlighted by Sen. Klobuchar was the well-understood role of Congress in setting standards to ensure voting rights across the nation, which Barrett seems to reject, instead favoring unmitigated “states rights” in deciding who should and shouldn’t get the right to vote. This comes just a couple years after much of the voting rights act was stripped away and amid the decades-long practice of republicans purging black voters from the rolls and closing polling places in poor areas. Plain and simple, republicans have made it clear through their actions that they have no interest in letting Black Americans vote, in fact as some courts have said they have been targeting Black voters with “surgical” precision in their purges. This context makes it very clear that Amy Coney Barrett has no problem letting states keep Black people from voting. In my view when she says “virtuous” citizens should be the only ones voting, she may as well be saying “white”.

She is evil.

An anonymous donor who will profit by killing Obamacare has paid to place Judge Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court because Barrett agreed to kill Obamacare in exchange for a lifetime job. That's at least $258,900 per year plus under the table bribes to make decisions go the way Mister Anonymous Money wants.

A single anonymous donor gave the Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) $17 million to fight Merrick Garland and support Neil Gorsuch. We still don’t know who this person was. But they played an incredibly important and consequential role in our democracy. Is that healthy? Should someone be allowed to spend $17 million influencing the most powerful court without even owning up to it?

And whoever that is just spent millions more for Barrett. JCN already promised to spend $2.2 million on Barrett.

Several Republican senators filed amicus briefs in NFIB v. Sebelius, the 2012 Obamacare decision, that were signed by Carrie Severino, who is the head of the Judicial Crisis Network, and the person behind Amy Coney Barrett’s selection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-393c3a2.pdf

Carrie Severino signed an amicus brief arguing for the total destruction of the ACA. Eight years later, she played a key role in the selection of Barrett to fill RBG’s seat.

Barrett Unable to Name 5 Freedoms Protected by 1st Amendment
Asked by Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., to name five freedoms protected by the First Amendment, Judge Amy Coney Barrett was unable to provide all five. “Speech, religion, press, assembly,” said Barrett. “I don’t know—what am I missing?” “Redress, or protest,” said Sasse.

Amy Coney Barrett Worked on Bush v. Gore — Donald Trump says he expects the Supreme Court to decide the 2020 election, as it did in Bush v. Gore. If Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed, the court will have three justices who worked directly on the case that undemocratically determined the 2000 election.
