    Boy, that mail-in voting fraud sounds like a catastrophe in the making. No wonder Democrats are so pissed off that ACB gonna judge against their sh** if it comes down to it.

    Probably won't make a difference, but first unexpected curveball Republicans will need to deal with here:

    More than 1K alumni from Amy Coney Barrett's undergrad college sign letter of concern

    Over 1,500 alumni from U.S. Supreme Court nominee
    Amy Coney Barrett's alma mater signed a letter of concern over the conservative lawyer and judge's pending appointment to become the next court justice.

    alumni Rob Marus and Katherine Morgan Breslin wrote a critical letter over
    Barrett's stances on abortion law, the LBGTQ community and the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

    "We are likewise firmly and passionately opposed to Rhodes administrators' attempts to embrace Amy Coney Barrett as an alumna of our beloved alma mater,"

    "We oppose this embrace because

    we believe both her record and the process that has produced her nomination are

    diametrically opposed to the values of truth, loyalty, and service that we learned at Rhodes."

    Amy Coney Barrett’s environmental track record is sparse — but "concerning"

    It remains to be seen whether Barrett’s nomination will truly be a "catastrophe for climate"

    A sixth conservative justice could
    pit the Supreme Court against regulatory efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions, making it harder for federal agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency to act aggressively on climate.

    A 6-3 conservative court majority could also
    make it more difficult for the court to take up judicial challenges to the Trump administration's rules.

    we don't know much about her views on climate and the environment.

    The corps had designated the area off-limits for construction, using the Clean Water Act to argue that the wetlands counted as "waters of the United States."

    Barrett didn't write the ruling on this case, but she signed onto a decision against the Army Corps of Engineers, forcing the agency to reconsider its determination.

    it signals her "willingness to interpret environmental laws like the Clean Water Act narrowly in favor of industry interests."

    Barrett's interpretation of "standing" and "injury," legal terms that determine one's power to sue. If you want to go to court, Hartl explained, you have to earn standing by demonstrating that you've been injured.

    And like many conservatives,
    Barrett's track record suggests that she favors a narrow and literal interpretation of standing.

    she found that a woman suing her debt collector for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act didn't have standing — according to Barrett, the woman failed to prove that the violation had caused her a tangible injury.

    Adelman and the other plaintiffs argued that clearing trees and bird habitat to construct the presidential center would serve not the public interest, but rather private interests.

    Barrett determined that the plaintiffs had no standing to sue the Chicago Parks District,

    rejecting all three of their claims:

    that they had standing as taxpayers,

    that they would suffer injury from the center's construction, and —

    notably — that the project would damage Jackson Park.

    "The plaintiffs can't repackage an injury to the park as an injury to themselves,"

    she wrote in her opinion, explicitly citing a precedent claiming that damage to the environment is not sufficient to prove standing.

    What does this mean for any bigger, broader environmental cases that the court might hear?

    "It is quite problematic," Hartl said, especially for environmentalists who might try to argue that they have been injured by things like climate change and biodiversity loss, whose effects are difficult to quantify.

    the 48-year-old Barrett would be the Supreme Court's youngest justice, "poised to shape a generation of American law,"

    https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/sho...1#post10285311

    The VRWC/BigCorp that has been packing SCOTUS to the extreme right knows EXACTLY what they want from Barrett, and they will get it.

    6-3 rightwingnutjob ideologue SCOTUS is PRO-Business, PRO-Capitalism

    which means

    anti-citizen

    anti-patient

    anti-customer

    anti-borrower

    anti-employee

    anti-environment

    anti-regulations, any and all of them of the "administrative state" (esp annulling Congress' oversight of the autocratic "unitary" Exec's killing of rules and regs and hiring)

    ACB complies with the Biblical misogyny and Repug rape caucus

    Amy Coney Barrett tied to far-right religious cult that believes women must ‘submit’ to their husbands


    her connection to the extremist quasi-Catholic cult People of Praise is once again coming under scrutiny.

    Trump's supporters are trying to paint criticism of Barrett as anti-Catholic, but in fact,

    People of Praise is controversial within Catholicism and isn't exclusively Catholic.

    One of the most controversial aspects of People of Praise is the severely patriarchal belief system it promotes.

    People of Praise used to refer to female members as "handmaids."

    women were expected to live in "total submission" to their husbands.

    Theill told AP, "My husband at the time was very drawn to it because of the structure of the submission of women."

    People of Praise, every consequential personal decision — whether to take a new job, buy a particular model car or choose where to live — went through the hierarchy of male leadership.

    Members of the group who worked outside the community had to turn over their paystubs to church leaders to confirm they were hing correctly."


    her husband accompanied her to gynecological appointments to make sure she was not obtaining birth control.

    People of Praise believe that wives must "submit in all things" to their husbands.

    my mother saying a wife could never deny sex to her husband, because it was his right and her duty. Sex is not for pleasure. It's for as many babies as God chooses to give you.... Women had to be obedient. They had to be subservient."

    https://www.alternet.org/2020/09/amy-coney-barrett-tied-to-far-right-religious-cult-that-believes-women-must-submit-to-their-husbands/

    So PoP is just another White Male Supremacy / patriarchal scam behind front of religion,

    that says superior men a privileged to have sex and

    inferior women a obligated to provide it.

    hahaha - doesn't matter where she came from - it's where she ends up - and no matter what the Dems do/say - that's the top court in the land. Not that I should count my chickens before they hatch.

    Didn't Biden say it's about time we had a state uni president? Rhodes College isn't a state uni but not Ivy League.
