"Can she be a fit mother"

Digging deep for these ACB critiques.

[AuthorTony]

Despite the "liberal media is trying to ruin ACB hysteria" being peddled by the right, the WaPo has a few very good editorials on why she'll make a fine judge and that the libs shouldn't hang themselves out of fear.

I taught and worked with Amy Coney Barrett. Here’s what people get wrong about her faith.

I’ve known Amy Coney Barrett for 15 years. Liberals have nothing to fear.

However...

We were hanging out on the patio a couple nights ago when we saw one of those Australia style spiders skittering across the concrete. Mrs Tif was like "Well, we have to move now."

"Can she be a fit mother"

Digging deep for these ACB critiques.

Willing to bet there's at least one tweet in her feed from calendar year 2020 complaining about the patriarchy or some such.

Also, just to go on the record here, I view ACB as more of a Gorsuch than a Kavanaugh, and that's a good thing.

OK, I am going to ask: do you personally consider "People of Praise" a normal, mainstream religious community or a fringe cult?

She doesn't like beer?

Sounds like a bunch of pinko left-wingers:

These covenant communities were influenced by the communitarianism of the 1960s counterculture.[7] Historical theologian Paul Thigpen writes that in general these covenant communities "typically involved a commitment to at least some degree of sharing financial resources, regular participation in community gatherings, and submission to the direction of the group’s designated authorities." ]

There are definitely loons out there, but what I've seen from legit media has been pretty balanced.

Looks like Grandpa Munster in drag.

Allegheny County is finally sending out mail-in ballots. I got mine in today. Voted for Trump. Which was less a vote for Trump and more a vote against the most anti-Second Amendment ticket ever nominated by the Democratic party.

It's a pretty normal how hum group.

Do you think Notre Dame would have a person on faculty that belonged to a cult?

She's pretty run of the mill normal jurist that in non-insane times would barely get a ripple for her legal opinions.

[CBear3]

ACB just said her philosophy was the same as Scalia’s, but no need to freak out leftists.

The people I highlighted are all contributors to normal mainstream outlets, and Mother Jones is a long-standing legit publication.

[CBear3]

Meanwhile, her POP “membership” just reinforces her positions on things. It’s the symptom, not the ‘ailment.’

Have you read her opinions on police qualified immunity?

That definitely doesn't have her lockstep in line with Scalia.

She also largely disagrees with him on Chevron deference.

So we should have a religious test for office?

Thanks! And yes, I absolutely believe that a big university could employ and keep (especially if already tenured) a smart professor with a fringe personal positions. Not in liberal arts, but in traditionally more conservative environments (business and law schools), absolutely. Eric Rasmussen and Indiana or Harald Uhlig at Chicago, for example, are brilliant scholars with personal opinions that would not be shared by many (in case of Uhlig bordering on racism).

Religion shouldn’t qualify or dis-qualify anyone from office. Religious beliefs shouldn’t drive policy/ decide anything ever, imo.

The second it does, is the major problem.

It’s not the religion, it’s the belief in a natural order/hierarchy that hasn’t existed since women went to work in the factories in WW2.

As for police immunity, in that respect she’s better than Trump’s other possibility from FL who’s name I don’t remember. It just jives with the Govt’t shouldn’t exist to guarantee practically anything mentality of conservatives so it’s one of few subjects I’ve always thought everybody could come together on.

As for Chevron, Scalia was very much in the mindset that you never needed it because if it’s written in the law verbatim you can do it, and if not you can’t. He never saw a gray area. Haven’t found anything on ACB’s views yet.

If Barrett believes that women should be meekly submissive, then someone needs to tell her that she's screwing it up by going to law school, clerking for two prominent judges, teaching at Notre Dame, and sitting on the Seventh Circuit, where, oddly enough, not one of her opinions says "I defer to my male colleagues because they're men and I'm supposed to do whatever they say."
