Hold onto this tape if Amy Coney Barrett ends up being Trump’s nominee on Saturday. She’s entitled to be as shameless as her nominator, no doubt, but just how smart she is will be tested by how she handles this bit of hypocrisy.

Trump #SCOTUS front-runner Amy Coney Barrett, when asked whether Obama should be able to appoint a Supreme Court justice in an election year, said it's inappropriate when it would “dramatically flip the balance of power."

1. I'm sure her argument will be that the court is already conservative...

so it wouldn't be a major shift.

[aggiesal]

13. It would be if Obama had been allowed to sit Merrick Garland ...

That would have flipped a serious conservative Scalia appointment.

[blm]

2. Seriously - spread this.

[Eyeball_Kid]

3. Barrett belongs to a religious cult.

She’ll do anything Trump says. Her handlers will insist, and she’ll be punished if she disobeys.

12. This nominee has dual loyalty...some people say

How can we be certain that the USA is her first loyalty?
Reject all religion-ists who confuse Caesar with God and claim transcendent loyalty to God trumps transactional loyalty to constitution.
We live in this world together. Want God first? Join a monastery.

16. Sounds like the same argument that was pulled against JFK

[dhol82]

18. Um, read about what she is affiliated with.

People of Praise.
Not just Catholics
Think Gilead.

[reACTIONary]

21. And JFK handled by making a speech...

... that is considered to be a landmark proclamation of separation of church and state.

Would she be willing to do this? I doubt it.

5. Republicans seem stupid because they are tasked with defending the indefensible.

It can be hard to appear smart when one needs to do that. The need to do that is based on selfishness and authoritarianism.

Oh...and some are just plain stupid too of course.

6. The best part is that none of this

is helping him in the polls.

7. Gee, another hypocrite in a position of power in the former US of A

[BSdetect]

8. k&r Ask how can she be objective?

[RVN VET71]

9. She will not get the nomination

Her record is tainted by her statement here and by her cult membership. Trump wants a quick passage to confirmation and that will not happen here. But, clever mover that he is, Trump holds her up as the primo choice so the Dems will over-prepare for little Miss Handmaid and will doubtlessly put up someone without the baggage Amy is carrying. If there were more time, he might nominate Amy only to ask her to withdraw because it would give him ammo to chip away at the woman's vote.

But there's no time. So who's number 2 on the list?

[StarryNite]

10. She's a Stepford wife.

[Mr.Bill]

11. She shouldn't be a judge in traffic court. n/t

[lastlib]

17. F*ck, she shouldn't be a judge at the county fair blueberry pie cook-off.

This cultist needs to just crawl back into the cave and curl up under a rock until she evolves cognitive perception.

[In It to Win It]

14. Interesting

[PatSeg]

15. Garland was a moderate judge

who had been confirmed by both republicans and Democrats previously. Justices are not suppose to be political, they represent the law and interpret the constitution, whether they personally agree or not.

[Mr.Bill]

20. If Trump was smart, that's who he would nominate.

It would take a lot of the wind out of the Democratic sails if he did.

But he's an idiot so that won't happen.

[PatSeg]

22. Someone else mentioned that

It would be an incredible strategic move. It might even save some republican seats in the senate. Like you said, "If Trump was smart....", but he isn't!

[wryter2000]

19. I hope we get to have hearings

Kamala Harris, ‘nuf said.

23. Schumer had a bit of a smile on his face when this was played for him. n/t
