1. Also because she "looked like she was right out of central casting"

No doubt

[ck4829]

2. It's scary how there are entry level jobs with more stringent requirements

[FoxNewsSucks]

3. I don't have to click the link to know that ANYONE appointed by Biden

is infinitely more qualified than Aunt Amy or Beerbong Brett.

Anyone who supported or voted for those two and is now asking for Jackson's LSAT or questioning her qualifications needs to fuck right off.

[a kennedy]

4. I know this is a serious discussion......but Beerbong Brett??? 😂 🤣 😂

[FoxNewsSucks]

6. Yep. The SCOTUS judge who was so blackout drunk all through college

he literally has no damn idea how many women he assaulted.

Republicons are so proud.

[lame54]

9. Plus his serial lying throughout the confirmation hearing

[Delmette2.0]

28. Lying is one thing but the worse is the crying. nt

[jmowreader]

5. No, Tony

Trump appointed her to SCOTUS because he was ordered to.

[Wounded Bear]

7. Don't forget her age. She could be there 30-40 years, easy...

[nakocal]

8. Also a reward for the Bush v. Gore case

She was one of the "lawyers" that worked the Bush v. Gore issues in Florida, along with Roberts and Kavanaugh.

[jaxexpat]

22. That got my attention, nakocal. I was unaware.

Envolvement with that is the litmus test for "stage 3 constitution cancer" spreader. Stage one was pardoning or being one of the Iran-contra actors. Stage 2 was involvement in the relentless harassment of Clinton. We all know what stage 4 was. When the country dies, the USSC will be the pall bearers. It was always going to be this way. The sharper FF's said as much even as they wrote it up.

[turbinetree]

27. Exactly........

and the Federalist Society had her backing just like Roberts and others....

[UTUSN]

10. Amy CONEHEAD - probably a pin-up in KAVANAUGH's & THOMAS's chambers

[onenote]

11. There are many reasons that Barrett shouldn't have been nominated or confirmed but

The fact she only served as a judge from 2017 on isn’t one. Indeed there are a number of notable SCOTUS justices who had no judicial experience including William O Douglas and Felix Frankfurter. Also Elena Kagan.

[Budi]

12. The matter is the doubt being stated against Ketanji Brown Jackson

For instance:

[onenote]

13. Understood. But making up nonfactual objections to Barrett

isn’t a particularly effective strategy for countering the baseless objections to Jackson.

[Budi]

14. Listing & questioning her qualifications is not ..

"making up nonfactual objections to Barrett".

No one made anything up.
No one has to make it up.

Your accusation is without merit.
Bye.

[onenote]

18. Claiming she was the "least qualified" SCOTUS nominee in 30 years is a made up claim.

Among other things it ignores her three years hearing cases as an appellate judge and her experience as a Supreme Court clerk. Kagan, who is a fine Justice, nominated in 2010, never served as a judge at any level, and as Solicitor General only argued six Supreme Court cases in 15 months. Most experienced members of the Supreme Court bar (and I'm one) will tell you that serving three years as an appellate court judge probably prepares one to be a SCOTUS justice more than arguing six cases.

Barrett should never have been nominated or confirmed, but you are mistaken if you think you're helping by drawing a comparison not between Barrett and Jackson, but between Barrett and other justices, including notable justices, who were "less qualified" to sit on the court than Barrett in terms of their prior judicial experience.

So "Bye" back.

[Budi]

20. Well you may stand for her. That's on you.

The meme isn't wrong.

Barrett's qualifications, however they are spun, aren't even in the same sphere as Brown.

[onenote]

23. And I agree that Jackson is far more qualified.

And if that's all your post said, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

But you posted a meme claiming that Barrett is the least qualified nominee in 30 years, not that she's less experienced/qualified than Jackson.

That's not standing up for Barrett. Its standing up for making the right argument rather than a made up one.

[ripcord]

33. She also received the highest rating the American Bar Association gives

But what do they know.

[Hulk]

15. She must be so proud...and all her parish.

This is what it takes from the gQp KKKristian taliban in this age. And we are stuck with this bimbo for a generation or more.

[OMGWTF]

16. Gotta appease the Talibangelical base.

[Nululu]

17. GOP handmaiden

Said teens didn't need abortion because their kids could be adopted. Worst person ever award winner.

[PaulRevere08]

19. Member of and pushed by the leadership of the Federalist Society.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

21. Amy couldn't even name the Five Freedoms

guaranteed in the First Amendment during her confirmation hearings. How the hell did she ever get on the Supreme Court?

[Budi]

30. Election 2016 opened that door.

We'd have a much more qualified & fair SC.
Barret would still be a name only known in the circle of the Federalist Societyy.
And her 'church'.

[Botany]

24. Her 1 thing that got her on the SCOTUS

The Judicial Crisis Network approval

[IronLionZion]

25. It's almost a black and white issue

they wanted a young RW conservative woman regardless of experience or qualifications. She fit the description.

GOP were saying Biden's nominee was completely unqualified before anyone was selected.

[SunSeeker]

26. She was picked because of her young age and extreme evangelical views.

They wanted a loon who would fill that seat for a long time.

[ShazzieB]

29. It's not just Barrett.

She's the worst, in terms of her blatant lack of experience. But I believe ALL of the justices Trump appointed were chosen for their political and religious views, based on recommendations from the Federalist Society.

They're an oddly mixed bag in every other way. Gorsuch had pretty strong credentials, as I recall. Conservative af, but considered to be well-qualified (and nothing scandalous about him surfaced during the confirmation process). Kavanaugh didn't sound that bad, on paper. In terms of education, experience, etc., he ticked the necessary boxes. Sure, he's a drunken sleazebag, but a technically well-qualified drunken sleazebag.

With Barrett, it's like Chump want as far as possible in the opposite direction. No judicial experience and very little legal experience, but instead of a drunken sleazebag, we got the Church Lady.

But what they all share is being extremely conservative, and catholic. That's the only thing that's consistent across the board!

31. (In)Justice Amy "Covid" Barrett (R-Unqualified).

I call her Amy COVID Barrett because her nomination event at the White House ended up a superspreader event.

[PatrickforB]

32. The Federalist Society sure did like her, though.

And the Christian Dominionists.
