“Americans United opposes the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett because her record demonstrates hostility toward church-state separation – the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom for all. The promise of the First Amendment is that the government, including our courts, will treat us all equally, regardless of our religious beliefs or whether we are nonreligious. In America, we are all free to believe or not as we choose, as long as we don’t harm others.
The reality is, it might not be blocked... The dems should go to court just like trump does and tie it up there ..
Will they succeed in blocking her appointment? In my opinion her appointment would be infinitely more dangerous than the two other right-wing judges Trump appointed to the Supreme Court, because ideologically, she is a religious zealot. This means she will always place what she sees as God’s laws above those of the US Constitution.
Shes not just a foe of separation of church and state she belongs to a cult inside catholicism
Opus day come to mind!!!
@of-the-mountain Opus Dei, where Barr was once a damned board member!!!!!!
George Orwell was right. His timing was just a little bit off! (1984)
He also underestimated it. It’s probably ten times worse than he predicted.
Sadly so. If Trump retains power, it won't really be the presidency any longer, he will move to give Orwell a posthumous Medal of Honor.
This has become the evangelistic’s wet dream!!!
The obstructionist republicans fascist are more concerned with power than the over 100 million of us who need help with shelter, food, health care, and employment!!!
Too sadly true!
Will not make one iota of difference to her being appointed. What the orange marmalade wants, he gets.
We must be the laughing stock in your country!! Happy springtime!
@Jolanta
Seems there are too many nutters as you put it trying to reshape and take over this planet!!!
This Coronavirus pandemic has given them the fascists the excuse and the power to indenture and enslave us wholesale!!!
Thankfully Supreme Court Judges can, and in this case will almost certainly be, impeached.
Christians will throw away democracy to allow their "small" government to control what women choose to do with their bodies.
They don't respect women enough to believe they will make the right decisions.
So now government will want to know if you were raped, was it incest, why do YOU think you can murder your child?
They actually love BIG intrusive government, they want thought police for fuck sake.
There will be HUGH backlash, politically and potentially violent backlash.
Real Americans love their independence and Christianity doesn't understand independence in the least bit.
Only one Justice was ever impeached and wasn't even removed from the bench. There is exactly a zero percent chance that some of the Republican Senators that would have been needed to confirm her would also flip to convict and remove her. Even if the Democrats flipped a super unlikely 10 Republican seats, they would need 10 Republicans to flip to convict.
Just another obstructionist republican fascists who does not care about the Law and our Rights under the constitution!!!
Like the rest of the trump death cult followers it is only about wealth and power!!!
