I heard a rumor during the confirmation process of Amy Coney Barrett about her inability to identify the five freedoms guaranteed by the first amendment. I dismissed this as just that, a rumor, because it was inconceivable to me that a Supreme Court nominee, even one nominated by Trump, would be that ignorant of the basics of the Constitution.
Turns out, it's true. She forgot that the first amendment guarantees citizens the ability to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Some of my 9th grade civics students could have given better answers to this question.
Not only is she ideological, she simply isn't qualified for the position. And yet, she has a lifetime appointment. This is not a government that functions properly.
