Trump boasts that Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett will defend 'God-given rights'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON – Fresh from announcing his third pick to the Supreme Court, President Donald Trump lauded nominee Amy Coney Barrett as “a brilliant legal mind” and promised supporters in Pennsylvania late Saturday that she would defend “your God-given rights and freedoms.”

Taking the stage at a campaign rally amid a light drizzle, Trump reminded the crowd that he had just come from a White House Rose Garden ceremony where he nominated Barrett, a federal appeals court judge, to replace the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the nation’s highest court.

Trump boasted of Barrett’s credentials for the job, which he sarcastically said are "a little better" than those of his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden.

"She should be running for president," Trump told cheering supporters at Harrisburg International Airport.

Don't you love how the religionists are so eager to claim a phony like Trump as their leader?

2. REALLY!!! Sister Simone won't let this go!

Catholic Lobby Rejects the Nomination of Amy Coney Barrett.

Sister Simone Campbell, SSS, Executive Director of NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice said:

“As a Catholic Sister who tries to follow the teachings of Pope Francis, I cannot support Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court. I know that Judge Barrett shares my faith, but her past words and actions prove that she does not hold all life to be sacred. As a judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, Barrett voted to allow employment discriminations against the elderly, attacked the protections of the Affordable Care Act, and even tried to uphold the wrongful conviction of a man based on faulty evidence. Shockingly, she does not hold the basic principle of stare decisis that provides for continuity in our Constitutional system. These are not the opinions of a nominee worthy of a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land.

“President Trump appears to be courting the Catholic vote with this nomination. Judge Barrett was chosen for one reason: she firmly and clearly opposes abortion and the settled ruling of Roe v. Wade. As a Catholic Sister, let me be clear: Catholics will not be bought off by a predetermined vote against Roe v. Wade. It is insulting to act as if my faith boils down to one issue. Catholics cannot support judges or politicians who blatantly ignore the breadth of Catholic Social Teaching on women’s rights, voting rights, immigrant’s rights, health care, environmental protections, and so much more.

4. Like the right not to have black people move in next door.

That seems something Trump was concerned about in a recent executive order. I'm sure she has his back.

6. Someone should point out if she had run, she would have been primarying him

She is a conservative. She would not run as a Democrat and could not win if she did!
