Senate has already signaled that this is who they want, so this McConnell's pick, not Trump's.
Being that Trump is self-destruction mode so we'll see what happens.

Citizen Saint cleaning up Bill and Hillary's sh** to boot.
You're the one who has to cope, idiot.
meets the requirements to be considered a cope thread (threat you start where you make up of at least 50% of the comments)
Bean counting is how you cope, tbh.
Sweet Amy is everything Hillary pretended to be
this country should become white and Christian.
and I am very pretty. No ugly girl could hold this position.
Yet another Catholic autocrat asshole -bent on imposing her personal ethics and morals on anybody who doesn't share those ethics and morals.
If AB has her way, along the 5 other rightwing assholes, there will be no Freedom FROM Religion.
AB is not strong supporter of 14th Amendment, maybe she will vote to deny education to females, a Christian Sharia.
how so?
The Top Contender for RBG’s Seat Has a Fundamentally Cruel Vision of the Law
Here’s what we can expect if Trump fills the late justice’s seat.
Faced with two plausible readings of a law, fact, or precedent,
Barrett always seems to choose the harsher, stingier interpretation.
Can job applicants sue employers whose policies have a disproportionately deleterious impact on older people? Barrett said no.
Should courts halt the deportation of an immigrant who faced torture at home? Barrett said no.
Should they protect refugees denied asylum on the basis of xenophobic prejudice? Barrett said no.
Should they shield prisoners from unjustified violence by correctional officers? Barrett said no.
Should minors be allowed to terminate a pregnancy without telling their parents if a judge has found that they’re mature enough to make the decision? Barrett said no.
Should women be permitted to obtain an abortion upon discovering a severe fetal abnormality? Barrett said no.
There is no question that, if confirmed, Barrett would cast the fifth vote to either
hollow out Roe v. Wade or overturn it altogether.
Similarly, there is no doubt that Barrett would
dramatically expand the Second Amendment, invalidating gun control measures around the country.
It’s quite possible, perhaps even likely, that within a year of her confirmation,
Americans will be forbidden from terminating a pregnancy in 21 states—
but permitted to purchase assault weapons and carry firearms in public in every state.
Barrett’s confirmation would heighten the odds that the Supreme Court will
eradicate the entire Affordable Care Act in 2021,
stripping health insurance from more than 20 million people.
Barrett and her conservative colleagues would also take
a machete to the thicket of laws that protect the health and safety of millions of Americans.
The current conservative justices have already telegraphed their desire to invalidate federal statutes that direct executive agencies to
limit pollution,
guard against labor exploitation,
monitor Wall Street, and
protect consumers from predatory practices.
Barrett’s confirmation would be a catastrophe for the climate:
She may well overrule the landmark 5–4 decision, long despised by conservatives, that compels the federal government to regulate carbon emissions.
Many more precedents that have become ingrained in the fabric of American life would be
thrown into peril upon Barrett’s confirmation.
Affirmative action.
Miranda rights.
Marriage equality.
DACA.
Independent agencies.
What remains of the Voting Rights Act.

Five Things You Should Know About 7th Circuit Nominee Amy Coney Barrett
1. Her writings reflect an originalist approach to the Cons ution.
the Cons ution is a DEAD do ent, and the FFs intended that everybody everywhere should carry guns and own high-capacity automatic weapons.
This means that she would seek to interpret the Cons ution according to its “original public meaning” – which, in Barrett’s own words, arguably calls into question
the cons utionality of the Fourteenth Amendment,
the validity of Brown v. Bd. Of Ed., and
the use of paper money.
2. She rejected the idea that Catholic judges should decide legal issues contrary to the church’s moral teachings.
3. Barrett wrote that, in her view, it is legitimate for Justices to overturn precedents
Destroy faith in the law, all law is fungible
4. Barrett explicitly questioned the precedential force of Roe v. Wade and its progeny,
5. Barrett signed a letter criticizing the birth control benefit under the Affordable Care Act as a “grave infringement on religious liberty.” Religious Freedom to hurt, persecute, discriminate against others

Agree with the first sentence, disagree with the second.
The sexist ability quotient lies to the advantage and disadvantage of the target, I have zero doubt a less attractive woman who was about as professional and distinguished as Judge Barrett could serve as well or better. As always, YMMV.
kind of proves your point
It’s really no wonder none of your family will mourn your death.
Jeffrey, go play with your plastic kiddie darts and leave the adults alone.
stay classy, CC.
(don't ever change)
Sounds like sexist, lookist, racist pig CC hasn't read her opinions, nor heard on on Colbert.
