LINK Amy Coney Barrett: What to know about Supreme Court front-runner

Okay, who had 'appointing a SCJ who is actively involved in a movement based on religious rule, has masters and handmaidens, miracle healing and speaking in tongues' for September?

What in the actual fuck?
Blessed be the motherfucking fruit...

"Barrett is part of a Christian religious called People of Praise that started in South Bend and now has a presence across the U.S. and in Canada and Jamaica. The itself is not a church, but its members follow a movement called “charismatical renewal” and believe in speaking in tongues and miracle healings.
They have been scrutinized in the media for using the title “handmaiden” to describe their women leaders, and for exerting control over the personal lives of their members. Leaders of the say they mostly function as a support network for their members and deny having any influence over the decisions of members in positions of power, like Barrett."

2016: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas): “It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an election year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an election year.”

2018: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election.”

2016: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.): “I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term - I would say that if it was a Republican president.”

2016: Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.): “The very balance of our nation’s highest court is in serious jeopardy. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will do everything in my power to encourage the president and Senate leadership not to start this process until we hear from the American people.”

2016: Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa): “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.”

2016: Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.): “The campaign is already under way. It is essential to the institution of the Senate and to the very health of our republic to not launch our nation into a partisan, divisive confirmation battle during the very same time the American people are casting their ballots to elect our next president.”

2016: Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.): “In this election year, the American people will have an opportunity to have their say in the future direction of our country. For this reason, I believe the vacancy left open by Justice Antonin Scalia should not be filled until there is a new president.”

2016: Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.): “The Senate should not confirm a new Supreme Court justice until we have a new president.”

2016: Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Col.): “I think we’re too close to the election. The president who is elected in November should be the one who makes this decision.”

2016: Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio): “I believe the best thing for the country is to trust the American people to weigh in on who should make a lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for generations. This wouldn’t be unusual. It is common practice for the Senate to stop acting on lifetime appointments during the last year of a presidential term, and it’s been nearly 80 years since any president was permitted to immediately fill a vacancy that arose in a presidential election year.”

2016: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.): “I strongly agree that the American people should decide the future direction of the Supreme Court by their votes for president and the majority party in the U.S. Senate.”

The ONLY thing I need to know is that Trump/McConnell want her so knowing nothing more than that about her I know she's a terrible human being, corrupt as all Hell and a disastrous choice to sit on the SCOTUS..

It's going to be Barbara Logoa, a right wing Cuban American. She's no better.

So basically a cult member.
Remember when moscow mitch refused to allow Obama's nominee to get a hearing? Because, he said, it was an election year.
Funny how the rules have changed...

She is literally their frontrunner. I find this truly terrifying.

@Amzungu

Any of tRump's appointees is terrifying.

If Biden wins (and I'm afraid that billy barrf & friends may manage to steal the election), we can impeach kavanaugh for lying to Congress. At least Glen Kirschner, a former federal prosecutor thinks so. If you're not familiar with him, look him up on youtube.

Jesus fucking christ, that is all we need now. . . . This fucking country is turning into a religio-nazi stooge farm.

Well said.
