Judge Amy Coney Barrett is an exceptionally impressive jurist and an exceedingly well-qualified nominee to the Supreme Court.
 
A brilliant scholar. An exemplary judge. President Trump could not have made a better decision.

Schumer: Ginsburg’s dying wish was that she not be replaced until a new president is installed.

This was the wish of every Democrat.

It is my opinion, even though I will seem like a nut, that RBG died or became incapacitated weeks or even months ago.
The only reason the Dems would allow her death to be announced now is that they had no choice.
There was no possible way to stall any longer.
RBG, or at least someone who looked like her, has not been seen since August and that was only a photo of her at a wedding for family friends.

The entire line fed to us by the granddaughter is bogus.

I cannot conceive of any elderly Justice on the Supreme Court using the word "INSTALLED".

You install a roll of carpet...kitchen cabinetry.

Furthermore, why didn't the granddaughter video the event on her cell phone, instead of writing it down?

Total baloney.

Is there ever any wedding without video? No! Of course not.
This is from Politico:
Ginsburg was last seen by the public in late August via a photo posted on Twitter of her officiating at a wedding of a couple described as family friends of the justice.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/18/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-034990

As you say, why all the confusion about when she was last seen and her last words. In society today, everything is videoed. Why not RBG? Why is everything hearsay?

As far as I can tell, nobody other than friends and family have seen her 'in person' since July.

Makes no difference. At least they are being honest by admitting they intend to vote No no matter what.
Meet, Don't meet, it changes nothing.

All I know is that I have a bottle of champagne currently chilling and will pop the cork as soon as she's confirmed.

Wendy Davis Silent as Former Senior Staffer Smears Amy Coney Barrett’s Children

Matthew Boyle26 Sep 2020Washington, DC344

Texas Democrat Wendy Davis is silent as her former Chief Technology Officer, John Lee Brougher, was one of several Democrats to smear Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s adopted children from Haiti Friday night.

In a tweet, Brougher joined other Democrat activists in smearing Barrett for adopting children from Haiti. President Donald Trump is expected Saturday evening to formally nominate Barrett to succeed the late liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court.

“As an adoptee, I need to know more about the circumstances of how Amy Coney Barrett came to adopt her children, and the treatment of them since,” Brougher wrote. “Transracial adoption is fraught with trauma and potential for harm, and everything I see here is deeply concerning.”

Democrats hate children, especially children of color.

Good.  Talking to Bloomy and Hironeous would be a total waste of time, they're imbeciles with the aggregate IQ around room temperature on a brisk Winter morning.  And I thought the Rats were trying to run the clock?

“I love the United States and I love the United States Constitution.” -Judge Amy Coney Barrett

@mystery-ak

I don't know about the rest of you,but that's pretty much all *I* needed to hear.

[montanajoe]

I think this is an excellent pick..(Go Irish) but a judicial conservative is not the same thing as a political conservative...
With time, IMO,  she will become a bit more "judicis" than Roberts but will maintain the Roberts philosophy that the legislative and not the judicial branch makes law..
The SC will not overrule  previous decisions but will give more latitude to the states..that "Stare Dicisis" thing..

It'll take a couple years to sound that one out.  Are we sure about Gorsuch?

Ginsburg was a partisan democrat who repeatedly trashed the republican nominee in 2016.  Were she a lower court judge, it would have violated the code of conduct.  Anyway, Schumer's language is reprehensible ... not sure when he's due for a dirt nap, but I won't shed a tear when it happens!
