Sorry Judge Barrett! That is exactly what you are! Trump and the GOPers are using you for their power agenda and control! Your views fit right into their plans and you know that! Plus youll say whatever they want you to say!

(22,133 posts)of the Supreme Court being that (1) more than likely she is too young to have enough experience to be on the highest court in the land imho (2) she knows it (a pawn) and she should have taken herself out of consideration already but in reality, someone would have been picked instead, so I don't know.
In any event, yeah, sure, the republican Senators screwed around w/ us and perhaps Obama should have been far more aggressive in getting the Senate to rule/move on his nomination at that time (Garland I think), what gets me is why does the Senate only get to vote on appointments? Let the whole House vote on nominees and I think we'll have better candidates instead of the obviously very partisan body of 100 men and women voting on this appointments when the lives of so many could be impacted. Too much power concentrated in both the Senate and the Executive branches of government (after how trump abused his office in issuing stupid executive orders by the dozens or more).

Otherwise Barrett belongs in the same hell as all the other corrupt Republicans.
