We don't even need to look at Barrett's record

For me, the very fact that, with only 4 year’s experience as a judge, and knowledge of what happened with Merrick Garland, and RBG’s final words, that she would even ACCEPT a nomination under these circumstances is in of itself disqualifying.

It shows she does not appreciate the gravity of the position she is being offered and is motivated only by her own ambitions , not justice.

She was a Law Professor at Notre Dame for more than 20 years. She has already demonstrated that she has the technical ability to be a justice. The problem with her is her over the top conservative ideology which is inconsistent with many of the constitutional protections we enjoy. She should be attacked on her legal beliefs, not as being unready for the job.

Zero appellate court experience (in fact, no judicial experience at all). A single year as Solicitor General
