Amy Coney Barrett has some ‘splainin’ to do.
Last week, Judge Barrett said the death of George Floyd from “racist” police was “very personal” to her.
She worried that someday her adopted black children -- and grandchildren -- might suffer the same kind of “brutality.”
She even told the national audience turned in to her Supreme Court confirmation hearing that her family cried about all the violence white racism could wreak upon them.
One way or another, sooner or later, Judge Barrett’s family will learn the real threat to their safety in their new hometown of Washington, D.C. is not white racism but black violence

Let's get her on the court before attacking her from the right.

While I strongly support Amy's elevation to the Supreme Court - - I was appalled by her ignorant and whiny comments about George Floyd's death.
Floyd was not "killed" - - he died from a severe drug overdose. He was not choked, asphyxiated, or smothered. The police actually extended his life by a few minutes by keeping him immobile until medical help arrived.
I hope Amy's comments about Floyd aren't typical of the judgments we'll get from her. Ignorance and maudlin commentary are not what we bargained for.

It's true, George Floyd died while in police custody. To the best of my knowledge, it has not yet been proven that "racist" cops killed him. I keep reading that George Floyd died at the hands of the police. That has not been proven. but at least one medical examiner reported he had enough drugs, fentanyl for one, to kill him. We will see. Jes' sayin!

There is nothing to explain. White people are evil, corrupt, and guilty. This is an axiom and not open to question. Please ignore the historical fact that slavery has been common since the dawn of history. Most ancient Greeks were slaves. Slavery was common practice (and continues) in Africa. The United States abandoned slavery 165 years ago. But white people are still guilty of slavery. And oppression of Blacks.
Western Civilization was once taught in most colleges and universities. Now this teaching concerned a type of civilization taught by white people. Since it was instituted by white people, it is a priori racist and evil. To follow the tenets of Western Civ is to act white, and thus be inherently evil.
The notion that one must follow the precepts of Western Civ to be successful is an abomination. Such things as going to work on time, working while at work, proper grooming and dressing, common courtesy, using the common language, and refusing to use obscenities are all acting white and therefore forbidden.
Just because some blacks have done this and succeeded is no reason to imitate them.
We must free ourselves from the outmoded dictates of Western Civilization. We must adopt the anti-woman and anti-police and anti-business view of BLM. We must look to Antifa for leadership. How else can we return the United States to savagery?
The savages WILL have their way. We WILL submit to the thugs.

This is why we have nine justices, not one.

It’s a little late now. As a a dim might say, such monolithic, purely ideological, unthinking, unhinged from factual reality statements are “troubling.” No doubt her adoption choices were racially motivated, which the Dims tried to turn into something evil. Such adoptions are fashionable. But if you’re adopting, one has to choose. Television is preferring hybrid colors to avoid choosing. At least if she is an originalist she perhaps doesn’t see the Constitution as racist. The article was not clear about the context. If a questioner asked her about racism, then she would necessarily answer in terms of racism. Fearing “racism” is not the same as seeing a group of people as racists. Let’s hope she’s an honest person; she really can’t be ignorant of the facts, but she could be wilfully oblivious to them. Let’s hope she’s not a “sleeper” for the dims.

In 1965 there was ZERO racial prejudice at Howard University. NONE, including students, other staff, and the entire administration. I was an eye witness. That's why the following is so disturbing:
"From the moment they stepped on the campus of Howard University -- America’s most notorious black college -- they were threatened, assaulted, and robbed. Then run out of the cafeteria and off the college grounds because they were white, and one was wearing a Trump hat.
The school paper opined about how proud they were of the Howard students for protecting their school. Soon after the school president tweeted in agreement."

We’ve been telling the left her personal feelings wont influence her judicial rulings. Either we believe that or we don’t.

Unfortunately, these days a public figure has to spout that PC BS, even though no one with half a brain believes it.

She gave the best answer that could possibly have been given in order to force the questioners to go to the next topic. What kind of idiot who is ostensibly on our side starts attacking her on Saturday for a Monday vote because she didn't answer a specific question out of hundreds in the precise way the author wanted after she was questioned for more than 20 hours under oath. Seriously, this is as stupid at tactic as there can be.

I agree #1. Perhaps the columnist is unfamiliar with the racially homogeneous and very boring little southern hamlet of New Orleans where ACB grew up. He also must be unaware that SCOTUS clerks live and work in Washington DC.

As much as some people would like to ignore reality, fact is Floyd had enough drugs in him to kill several people. The cops didn't kill him, it was proven by toxicology reports, video evidence and other testimony. He killed himself, and he committed what I would classify heinous crimes. I feel no sympathy for Floyd, especially since he held a knife on a pregnant woman and threatened her unborn child.
The good judge needs to educate herself on a few things. It isn't whites her Haitian kids need to worry about. It is the other black kids willing to do them harm.

I have noticed in American History that the french were not adverse to marrying American Indians, that the Spanish were not adverse to marrying American Indians, but the English folk were not a part of that idea. If my observations points toward a kind of discrimination, then, the idea of racism is in the (eastern part of the) since about 1620.

There was no sense in Judge Barrett inflaming the situation in the Senate confirmation hearing. It will be her decisions in upcoming Supreme Court cases that are important.

I have no doubt she will be better than any Dem appointee. That being said, I will not be surprised if she turns out more like Roberts than Thomas. The GOP are much more inclined to turn Left than Dems turning Right. Just the facts folks. Have a blessed day and remember what is really important.

You can't blame us for having our doubts; we get burned, the left doesn't.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. It is far too late to second guess this. If Colin insists on waiting for a better Bork, the rats will appoint another communist lesbian like Kegan or Sortofamirror. Too many Republicans helped to earn the title of the stupid party. It took a total outsider like Trump to pick up the banner and push past all the certified Republicans and gather more people behind him voting Republican than anyone Colin could name. For goodness sake, fight. Seize the opportunities when they happen and work to make more happen. Scalia was happy to work with her, so a nobody like Colin should be willing to trust that judgment.
