| Amy Barrett shows she's ready for the Supreme Court with this amazing statement |
| 2018-07-06 |
| [Right Scoop] Of course all the liberals are trying to destroy Amy Barrett just because she’s not a mindless liberal drone. But if you actually care about rational decisions out of the Supreme Court, this statement from her about the role of the court is pretty amazing. Watch below: Yeah anyone who can make a literary allusion to the Odyssey in order to explain conservative Supreme Court jurisprudence has utterly captured my heart. GO BARRETT!! |

| #16 The theory is the 1, 2, and 3 hitters are the best hitters on the team. Even if they become outs, they are to make the pitcher work for the outs which both fatigues the pitcher and allows the batters to see the pitches and performance; is the fast ball locating, how much break on the curve ball, so forth. |

| #15 No habla baseballize. From Wikipedia, which knowns more about it than I do: In baseball, a cleanup hitter is the fourth hitter in the lineup. They are the ones with the most power in the team and their most important job is to bring runs in, the cleanup hitter “cleans up the bases” meaning that if there are runners on the bases the cleanup hitter scores them in ergo the name. |

| #12 I would love to see Judge Barrett appointed and confirmed. At last we would have a good looking female justice. I mean, tody, we have Kagan, Sotomayor, and (ugh) Ginsburg. |

| #8 Mike Lee is very predictable and makes a very fine Originalist Justice. The one I want is Pryor. Kavanah will not cut it with me. |

| #7 Throw the Dems a Kavanaugh or Kethledge. Let them 'wear out their arm' rejecting the initial pick. Then put Barrett in. |

| #4 Well, if she's not Trump's pick, watch the chattering classes 180^O turn as she becomes the symbol of discrimination against womyn. |

| #3 Mercer on Pres. Trump's List: Trump’s List INTELLECTUALISM, INTELLIGENCE, JUSTICE, LAW, THE COURTS Amy Coney Barrett: How can one fail to be impressed by this 46-year-old mother of seven, former Notre Dame law professor and clerk to the late Justice Antonin Scalia? Speaking on Fox News (7/5), constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, certainly an intellect, intimated to Jason Chaffetz that none of the justices on Trump’s list quite matches Neil Gorsuch for intellect. Turley sagely advised that the president “choose intellect, not optics.” As Micky Kaus grumbles, the Federalist Society vets for Roe v. Wade. But do they vet for Flores? Making sure Trump doesn’t pick a Bushesque act-of-love justice seems like Job #1 for border controllers right now. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul support Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), for reasons they don’t specify. They say he has fine principles. Well, what are Lee’s principles? Principle is important. So is intellect. This Washington Post item is crammed with grammatical mistakes. Mismatched subject and verbs, for example. Disgraceful. But here is, “Trump narrows list for Supreme Court pick, with focus on Kavanaugh and Kethledge.” |

| #2 Excellent point Al. |

| #1 All 3 of the finalists are solid, but she has no real judicial record. I hope she does not "grow" in office like Souter and others have. |
