How will the Democrats try to demonize Ann C Barrett

[Mycroft]

Not if she shows the same compassion and sense of justice Jesus showed in Mathew's gospel. But I fear that working people, women and the environment may suffer under her opinions.

Wrong.

If she takes her marching orders from the Pope...who is a flaming liberal...she'll be helping the liberals. If you prevent her from being confirmed, you'll be screwing yourself.

But hey...go for it.

I voted "other". I'm contesting her nomination with facts supporting this test;
"What if the religious extremist cult the parents of Judge Amy Vivian Coney Barrett raised her in, as well as the same tiny, obscure, cult the parents of the man this judge chose to marry, raised him in, was of another religion.... say.... muslim ?"
My poll thread, in this forum :
Is Trump's rushed SCOTUS nominee, he reportedly only interviewed her, no one else, for lifetime SCOTUS seat, a culted, "Tulsi Gabbard, II"?

Right now, everyone on the court is either Jewish (Kagan, Breyer) or Catholic (though Gorsuch has moved to Episcopalian church attendance). Thomas is Catholic, Roberts is Catholic, Kavanaugh is Catholic, Alito is Catholic and Sotomayor is Catholic.

22% of the American population is Catholic. Over 60% of the Supreme Court is Catholic. Not many demographics would go so unnoticed so long.

Jews make up 2% of the US Population-until last week, 33% of the Court was Jewish. That's even more a skew than the Catholic percentages.

Except there are no socialist teachings by Jesus, as he never once advocated for public ownership/control of the means of production. Moreover, in the parable of the workers in the vineyard, Jesus supports the right of an employer to pay whatever he and a worker mutually agree upon - no mention of government mandated minimum wages or labor unions cartels anywhere in sight.

Jesus was talking about salvation, not workers rights. And “ownership of the means of production” is so quaint. Find me socialists who advocate that. But Jesus’s comments on who gets into heaven make clear that we are to care for the poor and for refugees.

 

[EMNofSeattle]

The Democrats are running a Catholic, nevermind that they did not attack other justices for being Catholic. I have no doubt that Team Trump will want to claim the Democrats are attacking her for being Catholic, but that isn't what they'll be doing.

The attacks will be the obvious ones: Trump nominated her specifically in the hopes that she would rule in ways the modern GOP likes, ie, getting rid of the ACA, chipping at Roe, etc., and that this is a bad thing given that she'll be doing it as part of a loaded court.

They’re running a Catholic who is mortal sin and has been denied communion. The democrats would never run a Catholic in good standing for office

 

[Court Jester]

You guys keep insisting everyone is attacking her for being too religious but all I see are Cons attacking everyone for not being Christian enough for them.

Sounds like maybe you’re all jumping up and down over this because you know she’s a far right religious wackadoo and you desperately want to be out in front of that? Maybe? Yes, I do think that’s it. Yup.

Not even close. She represents what America is all about So keep whining. YOUR America will never be this America. Before it stands any chance there will blood in the streets, and my side has all the guns......

Hahahahahahahahaahahaahahahahaahahahahhaa

 

[EMNofSeattle]

The democrats say she will rule to repeal Obamacare.

A lot of people depend on Obamacare for their insurance now. A lot of Trump supporters who are small business people, for example.

Nobody depends on Obamacare, that is massive lie being told because now a bad law has been in place long enough people have forgotten the fight over it.

 

[EMNofSeattle]

"Trump’s hand-picked successor to Justice Ginsburg’s seat makes it clear: they intend to destroy the Affordable Care Act & overturn Roe."

-Kamala Harris

Republicans desperately want this to be a fight over her religion, but there are countless policy matters that provide us substantive reasons to oppose her in the present and add court seats in the long term in order to neutralize her.

It’s amazing too even in your “substantive policy reason” you don’t actually cite a legal case and explain why such a position would be wrong.

What will be the attack strategy against Judge Barrett

I chose attacking her roman catholic faith which seems to be what they are doing now, which I believe is political suicide. The argument should be on court decisions and on her faith to the constitution, because catholics make up the vast majority of hispanics, and a large amount of the rust belt of those of irish and italian descent, ie they are attacking their own base which is the dumbest move they could make.

 

[beerftw]

I chose Other because Joe Biden is a Roman Catholic, so attacking Barrett for her religion would be hypocritical. They will attack her for being a social conservative, however, and we all know Catholicism is the basis of those opinions for her. The Democrats are most likely to attack Mitch McConnell for rushing it after refusing to have a hearing in 2016 because of his selfish partisan bias. Anything they do will be an attempt to delay a hearing until after the election.

The democrats so far seem to favor attacking her over being catholic, biden would not not only because he is catholic but likely because he realizes even in a high state of dementia the political suicide of going after a religion that is largely populated by hispanics and people in the rust belt.

The rest of the democrats seem to be either attacking her over her catholic faith or keeping their mouths shut, instead of going after an argument like the constitution that would not alienate their voter base. Just read all the liberal articles, nearly all of them prioritize attacking her catholic faith over all else, like they had trump derangement syndrome so bad they needed to attack trumps pick for any reason and would rather shoot themselves in the foot before letting trump have anything, even if it meant losing a major amount of votes.

The democratic party itself has no current policy to support atacking her over religion, but too many of it's members have hopped on the bandwagon, they need people to talk some reason into them to use a more sound argument before they drag biden's campaign down with them.

This is a lifetime appointment, Trump interviewed only one candidate.

In my thread on this same subject in this same polls section of this same forum, are some facts from a 1987 issue of "Covert Action". The
particular issue is sourced from contents of a CIA FOIA release. The relevant page, I posted an image of it, describes David F Sklorenko of the controversial "Praise for People", the same tiny religious extremist cult both Judge Amy Coney Barrett and her husband, Jesse Barrett, happened to be raised in. It certainly appears that influence, "took", considering the two of the same, extremely insular little group just happened to marry.

IOW, if you prefer religious extremism mixed with right wing, extremist political agenda.:

Northern Virginia Adults Volunteer on the Indy South Side | People of Praise

Fifteen adult volunteers traveled from northern Virginia to the Indianapolis South Side last week for a home renovation blitz. “They put in over 400 hours of work over three days,” said Paul Hommes, who drove up from Evansville to manage the projects.

".. They attended the annual Action fundraiser, a dinner, dance and auction sponsored by the Indianapolis branch. (The dance netted $5,000 according to Mark Sklorenko, who was responsible for the event's finances.) .... “The northern Virginia volunteers put us miles ahead of where were,” said Michael Coney, who leads the Indy CIM team.

Jesus was talking about salvation, not workers rights.

True, but the parable shows that he did not view the employee/employer relationship from a socialist point of view. From the parable itself:

But each one of them also received a denarius. When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’ “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money?

That sounds like laissez faire to me. There is nothing socialist in it at all.

And “ownership of the means of production” is so quaint. Find me socialists who advocate that.

Will the socialist who nearly won the Democratic nomination do?

Jesus’s comments on who gets into heaven make clear that we are to care for the poor and for refugees.

Sure we should help the poor - voluntarily. Nowhere did Jesus call for coercion, the way people like you do.

This confirmation is very dangerous territory for Democrats. I am very eager to see if Kamala Harris goes for the throat of the Catholic mother of 7 mixed race children, one disabled - because she didn't at least abort her disabled child.

I chose attacking her roman catholic faith which seems to be what they are doing now, which I believe is political suicide.

It’s regrettably not political suicide though. Modernism has so far infected the church most members don’t know they’re in serious danger of hell if they use birth control or even support abortion being legal.

Most “catholics” do not believe the teachings of Catholicism

All the European countries with single payer health systems have virtually no children with Down syndrome because doctors coerce parents into aborting them.

It is basically eugenics but they don’t call it that.

It is political suicide, whether someone is strictly religious or barely, attacking someones faith is not a way to win votes, much like hillary calling people not supporting her deplorables lost her votes.

The democrats could have stuck solely to the abortion or healthcare argument and not insulted catholics, but choosing to attack over faith is likely to lose more voters than they ever could hope to gain by rallying their base.

"Catholics"? LOL, as I documented, the sect Amy and Jesse Barrett were raised in is not Roman Catholic. It is fringe.... It is a secular political union of christians of all denominations, a "stew"! The goal of this union is secular political domination.

[vesper]

Sorry there wasn't an all the above option so I voted other.

The only thing these senators need to review are the cases as federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in Chicago since 2017. Any opinion writings or anything she stated in a speech she has given since she was confirmed to fill that seat are fair game.

The Democrats already raked her through the coals over her religion. they have started again and the attacks have gotten worse especially the media and they are more crazy like adopting two Haitian children makes her a racist. WTH!!!!! Or because she has 7 school aged children it is impossible for her to be a sound choice for the Supreme Court. This one really pissed me off more than the other claims.

First off, if you take a good look at ACB, she is not a high maintenance woman in her appearance. She of course is well groomed and neat but there is no time in her life or desire to be such a woman. Each day her and her husband's plates are full and they do not waste one second of it. She has a husband that is committed and takes on half the load. In large families with a mother and a father, the older children are taught to help out. with the younger, All the children are taught responsibilities they need to contribute to the family. In families like that the children don't have much free time either. They have their schooling that they are taught to take seriously. They have extra curricular activities they choose to be involved in. And they have responsibilities at home. They do not have a lot of free time to play video games, spend time on social media like most kids these days seem to have abundant time to do so.

Look we already know there will be no Democrat that will vote for her and some will not vote at all. Already there have been a number of Democrats that refuse to meet with her. I say fine. The less time for meet and greet means we can move forward ahead of schedule. The votes are there and she will be confirmed.

The US Constitution specifically prohibits using anyone's religion as basis to deny any job in government.

Since it is clear most Democrats and Democratic offices see the US Constitution as having less value than toilet paper, at least they should tell us the fantasy system of government they are operating under in their/your heads.

This is not about religion, it is about two people so abused in childhood, Amy and Jesse Barrett, that, despite their intelligence, high achievment and superior education, were unable to exist independently of the "People of Praise", cult. If it were a muslim oriented cult, there would be no nomination.
Amy and Jesse were raised in a cult roughly the same size as this one.:
