Rhodes College alumni start Facebook group to oppose Supreme Court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Some graduates of Rhodes College disagree with Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court and have started a fast growing Facebook group in opposition.

The Facebook group is named “Rhodes Alumni Against ACB’s nomination.”

The group founders say, in their view, Barrett’s legal opinions go against the school’s values and hundreds of other alumni have agreed.

Rhodes College alumni Rob Marus and Morgan Breslin say they believe the legal opinions expressed by Supreme Court nominee and Rhodes College graduate Amy Coney Barrett, such as opposition to the Affordable Care Act and abortion, would be dangerous in a conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

1. Item #1: Republicans are ignoring the McConnell Rule of 2016

Establish the rule as Senate policy, document its violation, and clawback this confirmation in 2021!

2. It's likely that Amy has a whole other take on Roosevelt's Social Security program than most.

It could go down the tubes if it's nibbled at a bit here and there, like interpreting it as an "option".

Short-sighted people would "opt" out of the withholding from their income with encouragement from their employers. They would whole heartedly opt out if they had a choice.

Abortion is their carrot, the ACA is their low-hanging fruit. No one can live well eating from their garden.

3. And Guess Who Else Was a Rhodes College Alumnus? ME!!!

Rhodes College was still called Southwestern at Memphis when I went there - that was before they changed their name. I was a music major, who majored in voice, but oddly enough, I gave my senior recital on the flute. I still have fond memories of the place. I was absolutely shocked when I watched a CNN video of Barrett's nomination ceremony last night and said YIKES - she also went to Rhodes College!!!

5. I have a friend who went to Rhodes.

We're the same age, so I guess he graduated in 1991. He's always been a good, liberal guy, certainly nothing like Barrett. I wonder if she was like she is now back then. She would have been out of place at Rhodes, I think.

9. Not sure what that crazy one majored in

But very cool you majored in voice! 👍

4. Amy Coney Barrett is definitely the Christian Trojan horse candidate.

They want to ram her confirmation through before we really get to know what's inside her, and what damage she is capable of doing.
