Rhodes College Alumni Group Wants Justice Amy Coney Barrett Removed From School’s Hall of Fame
“one of the biggest current threats to our fundamental rights, the stability of our nation, and our democracy”
Isn’t everyone tired of liberal hypocrites pulling this kind of garbage? Hopefully, the school will tell them to pound sand.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Rhodes College alumni petition for Coney Barrett to be removed from school hall of fame
A Rhodes College alumni group created a petition to have alumna and Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett removed from the college’s hall of fame over the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision.
The group Rhodes College Alumni for Reproductive Rights urged college President Jennifer Collins and the school’s director of community standards to have Barrett withdrawn over a “public breach of the honor code.”
The letter, dated this month, argues Barrett’s testimony in her confirmation hearing in October 2020 conflicted with her vote in Dobbs, which overturned Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to an abortion.
“We find any claim by Justice Barrett during her nomination hearings that she would consider the potential detrimental effect of overruling precedent on a given individual to be disingenuous and misleading. She’s told us herself that if one stays true to originalism and the text of the Constitution, it is immaterial as to whether an action could result in widespread chaos or trampling on the reliance interests of millions of Americans. Dobbs and the current state of women’s health care post-Roe confirms this,” the signatories wrote in the petition.
Signatories also accuse Barrett of being “one of the biggest current threats to our fundamental rights, the stability of our nation, and our democracy.”

“THAT’S SEXIST!”
Rhodes College? Isn’t that racist by name?
They want, they want, they want…
🎶 Hey, daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar…
Rhodes College will tell these idiots to pound sand. Few things are more prestigious, and good for the bottom line, than having an alum sitting on the SCOTUS bench.
You’d think so, but look at CUNY withdrawing and apologizing for an article celebrating a major legal achievement by an alumna.
How many useless idiots are actually signing on to this letter? What percentage of alumni?

Ya, let’s just tear up that pesky old constitution thinging. So limiting, so passe, so old-dead-white-men, pfft.
We should be able to do whatever we feel is right.
B”H” ACB did exactly what she said she’d do re originalism https://web.archive.org/web/20200927170801/https://twitter.com/daniel_bilar/status/1310191073608830976

Had she said that, it would have been disingenuous and misleading. But she didn’t. I find the claim that she did to be disingenuous and outright false.
So, how many Rhode College grads are actual idiots??? Quite a few!
And higher education is completely dumbfounded (emphasis on the “dumb”) why enrollment is dropping and parents and potential students alike no longer feel undergrad degrees are of value unless entering a STEM profession? It’s too bad ACB can’t take out an ad saying how embarrassed she is by the horrifically fallen standards at her alma mater.
