Doesn't her husband need her to keep his house in order, like a proper handmaid does?
Or is she just an over-priviledged hypocrite like all her other wannabe fellow Gilieadans?

She should not be a judge anywhere since she states openly that her husband can change her decisions at will.

She looks crazed and sounds creepy as hell. This reverence for the husband as lord and master is a dream for many Republican men. Disgusting.

So the damage would be much greater. Republicans are good at that. We tend to nominate justices who have actually earned the honor.

Speaking to Notre Dame Law School graduates years ago, Barrett said that they should always remember that a "legal career is but a means to an end ... and that end is building the Kingdom of God."

How can they rule on objections and evidence without any experience in the trenches? I bet all of these judges first several trials were a joke and complete miscarriage of justice.
