Ms Barrett was chosen by billionaires to squat on the SCOTUS because she is eager to take

[Atticus]

healthcare from millions, kill laws and regulations that prevent pollution of our air and water, greenlight discrimination against anyone not a white "Christian" heterosexual male and drastically suppress voting for those who are not "right-thinking". AND-----

McConnell and the rest of the Republican members of the Trump thugocracy are "PROUD" of cramming her down the throats of over 70% of American citizens!!!

We may not have fallen into the abyss yet, but we are sure as hell staring down into it!

INDEPENDENT WOMEN’S FORUM: KOCH-FUNDED GROUP DEFENDS PESTICIDE, OIL, TOBACCO INDUSTRIES


SNIP

IWF’s leading contributors, with more than $5 million in donations, are Donors Trust and Donors Capital Funds, the secretive “dark money” funds connected with oil moguls Charles and David Koch.
These funds channel money from anonymous donors, including corporations, to third-party groups that lobby for corporate interests.

IWF’s top funder: dark money from undisclosed donors

Koch family foundations have directly contributed more than $844,115 and other top funders include the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the Bradley Foundation, the Randolph Foundation (an offshoot of the Richardson Foundation), and Searle Freedom Trust — all leading funders of climate-science denial efforts and campaigns to defend pesticides and keep them unregulated.


ExxonMobil and Philip Morris have also funded IWF, and the tobacco firm named IWF in a list of “potential third party references” and “those who respect our views.” Rush Limbaugh donated at least a quarter of a million dollars to IWF, which “defends him whenever he launches into a sexist tirade,” according to an article by Eli Clifton in The Nation.

3. But this is not "court packing"

No, this is simple ratfuckery

[JohnnyRingo]

4. Yep... We always put the focus on reproductive rights.

And what we end up with are corporate stooges eager to cut the working class off at the knees.

Abortion rights are important, it was my dear mother's prime issue, but republicans really don't care about it as much as they pretend. What they want are justices who polish apples for the wealthy.

5. Barrett is 49 years old and is the product of the Reagan era of pushing deregulation, concentrations

of wealth, racism, and where the subjugation of women took cement. She is a nightmare.

6. It's easy because originalists/textualists using the Founder's original compromised document

as an unchanging arbiter of the law inevitably leads America back ti the 18th century. Of course, they are not intellectually honest, the textualist/originalist meaning of the 2nd amendment would refer to muskets, pistols, and swords since they insist the words should be interpreted as commonly understood at the time of writing.

9. Her greed and over the top ambition are shocking.

Lay down with dogs come up with fleas.

10. We are dangling over the abyss and hanging on by 1 fingernail ...

If not for the House, we'd be free-falling in that abyss on the way to a complete fascist oligarchy. Extremists have taken over the Executive branch, half of Congress, and have turned SCOTUS into SCROTUS.

The determination of voters may save us still. Heroes all over the country are coming out to vote in spite of COVID-19 and the voter suppression of the GOP.

11. Aside for the Social issues the Republicans have been toying with to get their ultimate goals met.

The real goal all along has been to cripple the American People and turn them from Citizens to Subjects, while they have been making Corporations the Premium Citizens of the United States. Their ultimate goal has always been to reduce people only into Subjects and make Corporations the Citizens. Think Company Store on steroids and spread across the whole country as Corporations being the Citizens of the Government in their improved Corporate Government Store.

It is all about keeping the wealthy in power for many decades and reducing people into servants/peasants, unless they can achieve an extraordinary accomplishment to rise out of it... Not likely for the masses of the abused and pissed on. Religious assholes do not understand they have only been used and tricked, but they will still make do with being the ones people/Subjects will look to for guidance in their utopia of Subjects flocking to them in their need and desperation.

Damn It!!! When in the Hell are people going to wake up that Corporate America and Incorporating everything to screw others is not a better alternative to living people Citizenship and Society united for the progress of the country and it's people?
