Let be smart about the ACB process...

I am seeing a lot of chatter in conservative circles on Twitter that they aren't all that happy about ACB getting the nomination over Lagoa. They think that Lagoa was the better and more dependable conservative choice. Apparently there are some recent rulings with ACB regarding lockdowns in Illinois and some other issues they don't like. They think she will end up being another Roberts, who they hate, or Gorsuch, who they aren't all that satisfied with now.

Most of this seems to be stemming from this guy here:

He's a super obnoxious voice that I come across a lot on polling twitter, but he does have 130k followers to broadcast this out too.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we should rally behind ACB or anything, not at all. Instead I think we should try to push some of this division out there among the conservatives.

The effect would be marginal, but if it could turn some number of Trump voters off it would be a benefit. A lot of them are only with him for the judges, and if they think he screwed the pooch some on this one it could help.

Trump voters hate the lockdowns and if we can push the narrative that she could have ended them but instead voted with the liberals to save them, it could be a nice set of body blows.

1. It's these kind of questions, asked at her confirmation hearings, before the election,...

....that can cause the Repubs on the committee a little heartburn.

2. Agreed. There's just too much material.

3. Also.....

he has three juducial nominations now and has nominated three white judges. Should be a talking point especially in Florida where there was a qualified female Cuban judge he could have nominated here.
