Please, for the love of God, when people show you who they are the first time, let's believe them.

Here's a racial discrimination case that Barrett did decide, where she wrote that being called the n-word at work by your supervisor does not constitute a hostile or abusive work environment. https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-donald-trump-confirmation-hearings-discrimination-amy-coney-barrett-4380ef16b3da79836151bcaaa7eda224

1. Another reason this extreme right winger should be disqualified.

Good God! ""Use of the n-word by a supervisor is not a hostile work environment."

That's pure racism.

2. She is a student of Anthony Scalia.

Someone needs to dig up the last opinion Scalia wrote regarding discrimination. It was frightening!

3. Wondering how she could determine that isn't hostile

If her black children haven’t faced and of that discriminatory harassment. Perhaps the kids have and she isn’t aware.
I was in college in the early 80’s and in a discussion with a lifelong black friend about the N word and how it is used and by whom. This friend was very strong minded, tough character that more than stood his ground in a debate and he told me “of all of the derogatory words in the English language I could call you, none of them will come close to being as demeaning to you as the “N word” is to me”

4. the reasoning given in the opinion

is that the racial epithet, while certainly and plainly egregious, was incidental to justifiable reason for dismissal.

-- Terry Smith vs Illinios DOT --
Smith describes one incident, however, that plainly consti-
tutes race-based harassment: Colbert, one of his former super-
visors, called Smith a “stupid ass ni[]” after finding out that
Smith had filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Op-
portunity office. The n-word is an egregious racial epithet.
Nichols v. Mich. City Plant Planning Dep’t, --- 755 F.3d 594, 601 (7th
Cir. 2014) --- (“[W]hile there is no ‘magic number of slurs’ that
indicates a hostile work environment, an ‘unambiguously ra-
cial epithet falls on the more severe end of the spectrum.’”

The court and opinion clearly recognizes the N-word, and the incident, as a workplace violation .. but goes on to say that Smith was terminated for entirely different cause.
