The Democrats have essentially given up on blocking the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. This does not imply, however, that they will fail to turn her hearings into a nasty farce of smears of the nominee as an adherent to a voodoo-like religious devotion, and a passionate seeker of an America with no assisted healthcare and back-alley abortions.
The strategy mirrors the malicious fiction then-Senators Joe Biden and Teddy Kennedy threw at Robert Bork in 1987. Barrett, like Bork, is obviously a person of outstanding character and intelligence (Snip) It will not be easy for Democrats to portray such an accomplished and attractive person

Any D(umb) voter with even a smidgen of decency will be revolted by this--IF they're paying attention (that's a great big "IF").

Just you wait. Harris, Feinstein, Booker, Hirono, Blumenthal, and the rest of the Dims on the Judiciary Committee will put it to ACB that she is disqualified by reason of her religious faith. "We have no gods other than Caesar."
She cannot possibly go on the Court because she serves a Higher Power. As in God, Creator and Sustainer of all that is. Such faith is anathema and heresy to Statists.
And she is anti-abortion. And she is pro-family. There is only one family, whose head is the State. Males are not needed. And perjury traps will be presented with every question.
And she is racist. Raising abandoned children from Haiti. How dare she? They should have been raised BLACK. Turning them into good citizens: what an outrage.
And she relies on the validity of the written text. How yesterday. We Justices legislate from the bench, depending on what our hearts require. And we cannot be over ruled. Stare Decisis, and all that.
Millions of Planned Parenthood dollars are riding on her defeat.

I still expect Democrats to pull a Kavanaugh and accuse her of having been the school slut in high school. Some wild-eyed guy will appear to claim she used to sell drugs and gang bang him and his friends when he was 12 and she was 18, and then she had 5 abortions in secret before she was 21. No evidence, but that never stopped them before.

Dead Ted Kennedy was a dimwitted, vile creature. and after he attacked Bork, he used many of the same accusations against Souter.
People tend to forget that.
And as dimwitted as Dead Ted Kennedy was, his sidek9ick, Joe Biden, was even more dimwitted. and equally vile.

Will be interesting how the Democrats play this since many Democrat woman politicians recently have complained how any question, or attack, on them are somehow unfair, or sexist.
I truly hope ACB mentions to one of these Senators questioning her from a state that will still allow legal abortion even if Roe is overturned, somehow, just that, nothing will change for people in your state, Senator.
I believe there is a very large group of people who are under the impression that abortion will be illegal if Roe is overturned, when it's not even close to what would happen. How many are voting Democrat simply due to that one issue, and might feel free to vote Republican otherwise? Even if it's 2-3%, that could sway a lot of elections.

Question from Ms. Feinstein.
Judge Barret, will you wear a cool hand crocheted collar on your robe or a pedophile priestly ROMAN collar ?
Are your adopted children family or PETS ?
The Racist Dogma etc etc Star Wars.

As far as I can tell, there's nothing that requires a nominee to attend a hearing; the practice wasn't even common until the 1950s. Barrett should just say screw you, I'm not your playtoy to the dhimmicrats.

ACB should ask if the same questions applies to Biden and Pelosi

There's a t-shirt out there with Amy Coney Barrett's picture on it and the phrase "The Glorious ACB". Ginsberg fangirls (of both sexes) are frothing and screaming. How dare they!!!

Will the dems find the birth parents or grandparents of the adopted children? ACB stole the children.

"for a court that can alter or repeal, or even up to a point rewrite legislation, the question becomes more complicated."
Actually, it's simple. For a justice who interprets laws as written, they decide 1) if the law, as written, is constitutional 2) if the law, as written, applies to the current case 3) how the law, as written, applies to the case. Along that path, as Judge Coney Barrett has said, there is not much room to insert personal opinion.
The problem with the SCOTUS is Leftist Justices DO try to alter/rewrite/create legislation to FIX the issue before them the way THEY decide it should be addressed. Adjusting or creating law is a power that belongs to the Legislature. The Left found and exploited this corruption of our court system and has used it to create legislation they couldn't get passed through Congress or a Presidential veto.
What the Left REALLY fears about Conservative justices is that the Left's perversion of the courts is about to be shut down. Justices like Coney Barrett will not be transmuting an illegal penalty into a legal tax to prop up a healthcare law that should have been returned to the Legislature.
The dems will assault Coney Barrett because they have no other option. They can't win but they can throw mud and rabble rouse. An ethical party would not do it but we know the dems are not ethical. The good thing is, Coney Barrett SAW what they did to Kavanaugh. She knows what the dems are and what low levels they will sink to. Best of all, I suspect she is MORE than capable of dealing with the dems with great class.
In the end, she will be a justice on the SCOTUS and the Left will be severely crippled for decades.

The women is raising seven kids and managing a successful career. The politicians don't stand a chance. I actually am starting to feel sorry for them.
