In reply to the discussion: I will get killed for this but I think Amy Comey Barrett [View all]Wiz Imp
(10,082 posts)82. You saw something there that nobody else seemed to see
I've watched the full video of Trump shaking hands with the Generals (or whoever they were) then the Supreme Court members over a dozen times now, and I don't see her facial expression ever come close to a smile. She keeps a very stoic look on her face the whole time except for when she responds to Trump saying thank you by apparently saying thank you back. Anthony Kennedy who was beside her gave Trump a big smile. Oh, and the extended exchange between Trump and Barret lasted less than 2 seconds.
I don't know what else to say. If you think that was a smile, then that is what you saw and that is fine. However, I have yet to find a single other person online who thought she smiled at him.

You could say the same for Barrett. She's a Supreme Court justice, voted to overturn Roe Vs Wade.

I hope this isn't an accusation that I'm not telling the truth. She smiled to his face. I watched it myself.

Don't bet on it. She's far right, but she's not as reckless as some of her colleagues.

Agreed. She is being strategic. An occasional moderate vote that probably won't matter

Maybe people should wait for her next repulsive decisions before jumping the gun on this. nt
