Despite the Democrats’ anger, Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court on October 26, 2020. Barrett, a 48-year-old U.S. Court of Appeals judge nominated by President Donald Trump, fills the seat left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a staunch liberal and feminist icon who died Sept. 18. At age 48, Amy Coney Barrett is the youngest Supreme Court justice confirmed since 43-year-old Clarence Thomas in 1991. She is just the fifth woman ever to be named to theSupreme Court of The United States.
One might think everyone would be celebrating her appointment. Regretfully, many editorial comment sections were filled with angry and vile comments like this one.
Another religious tyrant wannabe traitor. You are filth Barrett, and so are your boy-fckjer buddies in the Catholic church.
The problem many have with her appointment is, first, she is Catholic and takes her faith seriously. Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden also a Catholic, supports abortion. You won’t find similar disparaging comments lodged at him. The leftist Democrats are the party of darkness and death, not light and life, as Archbishop Vigano recently wrote. They worship at the altar of abortion.
It was fitting that Justice Clarence Thomas, a Catholic and daily communicant performed the swearing-in of Mrs. Barrett, another faithful Catholic. Justice Thomas was brutally attacked during his confirmation process for being a Catholic, conservative, and pro-life, an attack led by Senator Joe Biden. The Democrats now have a history of attacking pro-life Catholic nominees.
The second problem the left has with the new Justice is that she blows a big gaping hole in their whole —women need abortions to get ahead —narrative. She has 7 children, 2 of who are adopted, and one with down syndrome. Many on the left think it’s OK to kill children with Down syndrome. I can tell you first hand all children are a gift from God whether you expect them or not. I have had the pleasure of being close friends with several families who have a child with down syndrome and have witnessed the great joy they bring to their families.
Barrett will be the first female Justice to have school-aged children while serving on the bench.
Contrast Barrett with Rock legend Stevie Nicks, who recently said that without her abortion, “we would not have Fleetwood Mac.” I love Fleetwood Mac, but I would rather live in a world without Fleetwood Mac than a world without a woman like Amy Coney Barrett. Barretts accomplished career as a law professor, federal court judge, and now Supreme Court Justice shows that you do not need to kill your children to have a successful career.
