re: #126 TarHellion

You assume that she is sane. Look at the rulings by Alito. He wants to revisit gay marriage. She is the Manchurian Candidate conservatives have dreamed of. Smart? Yes. A female? Yes. Utterly devoid of the human condition? Yes.

Willing to advance a 1789 worldview? Duh.

With her as the swing vote, the definition of the 14th Amendment is at risk, let alone the 1st. And forget about the 9th Amendment, which was Madison’s way of saying that maybe a right to privacy should have been construed.

I could see Barrett joining with Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch to overturn Griswold v Connecticut and Gideon v Wainwright.

Forget about Roe v Wade. This court will determine that life begins in the testicles. And that masturbation is punishable by death.

this is where biden & Co. will have to play a bit of a long game. They’ll first give Republicans a chance in the new congress to not filibuster every bill that comes up. when that fails, they’ll drop the filibuster. They’ll give the supreme court the chance to affirm roe v. wade and aca. when that fails, we’ll have a fireside moment with Biden, who will tell us that Democracy will not be shortchanged by a partisan court, and he’ll “reluctantly” agree that adding 4 more justices in short order is the only option.
