Posted by Mary Chastain on October 15, 2020 37 Comments

The fourth and final day of Judge Amy Coney Barrett's hearing began with fights between Democrats and Republicans because Chairman Lindsey Graham scheduled the committee vote for October 22. I just heard Sen. Amy Klobuchar yell at the Republicans for "plopping" Barrett's nomination on them in the middle of an election. My dear, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away. This is what happens when there is a SCOTUS vacancy. Be mad at RBG.

The fourth and final day of Judge Amy Coney Barrett's hearing includes witnesses brought in by the Democrats to appeal to emotions instead of law and the Constitution and Republicans to explain Barrett's dedication to the law and Constitution.

Barrett Reminds Klobuchar That ‘Scholars Across the Spectrum’ Also Don’t Consider Roe v. Wade as ‘Super Precedent’

Posted by Mary Chastain on October 13, 2020 23 Comments

Hey, Democrats. You cannot "gotcha" Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Sen. Amy Klobuchar kept trying to push Barrett to explain why she doesn't consider Roe v. Wade as "super-precedent," which means it's untouchable or unshakable. Barret explained her position, but also reminded Klobuchar that even progressive scholars don't consider the abortion law as "super-precedent."
