Yet the people who criticise her are the "disgusting" ones, according to that poster. Funny what some people find disgusting.

Apart from the ‘deny care based on religious beliefs’ you’re describing a large portion of the population of the world. Not sure what you mean by that but the democrat party are denying care based on skin colour as we spoke about recently in this thread. In fact you and others are looking to dismiss her and call her names because she is religious!

If it’s ok to call Barrett a handmaid just because you don’t agree with her beliefs then imagine the names that will be levelled against the new black woman Supreme Court justice, who is yet to be selected.

‘Its only ok when we do it ‘is not a valid argument, at least for intellectually honest people.

With respect to the "Constitution written by slave-owners" (and amended a few times since), is there any judge in the US which does not look upon that document as the base foundation of US law, and if so, why is that person a judge? If no such judge can be found, why should it be held against Barrett?

Loads of people believing something doesn’t make the views any less abhorrent to me.

I’ve explained quite clearly the difference between Uncle Tom and Handmaid. A nickname based on race is not ok to me. A nickname based on belief is. Belief is a choice.

Not sure why you think we're holding the Constitution against Amy Coney Handmaid. She's so far been a good water carrier for the GOP is all. But, she's a handmaid as she was happy to have that title in her cult before her name got wider notoriety due to her confirmation to the federal judiciary in Indiana.

You and I both know the difference between being an Originalist and someone who views the constitution as a base foundation. It’s the unbending originalism I take issue with.

Biden about to send troops on the ground , because the White House are literally agitating and begging for Russia to attack Ukraine. That's what the United States wants to see happen, to give them a catalyst to take Russia down a notch.

Provoking wars. Allowing the Taliban take over Afghanistan. Dividing the country with pharmaceutical tyranny That is what that current left wing government is responsible for since taking office only a short time ago. It would never happen under Donnie's watch. Expect the Reps to shatter these bozo's in the next election! Hell ,most Dems are already secretly ashamed for voting in Joey Boy in the first place

Reality, Biden ended the war in Afghanistan.

Obama ended the war in Iraq.

Republicans started both wars.

Democrats supported both of the wars.

America isn't divided when it comes to wars.

Cody montana · 29-01-2022 11:56PM

Who was president when both wars were started and who ended the wars?

Thank you.

This post is a nice example of why the discourse is so poor @Manic Moran

How can one respond to this in any serious way? My favourite part is “current left wing government”. The US has never had a left wing President or majority in either house.

Biden has previously said that separated families (migrants at the southern border) deserve some sort of compensation but now the DOJ are dismissing cases brought by migrant families who were separated by Trump, who are seeking compensation.

DOJ lawyers are now claiming that the Trump administration was within its legal right to separate families, meaning that those affected aren’t eligible for compensation.

At least Biden can’t be known as the open border president anymore.

He was never the “open border President”, what a thing to post.

It’s the DOJs job to defend the Federal government against litigation. It doesn’t matter what the president thinks.

I honestly don’t get your angle here?

Obama/Biden also built more new walls than trump ever did (trump's wall was mostly replacing what was already there or building walls in the middle of nowhere thus giving a new route to cross as they also built roads for the construction vehicles...).

Tbh, people calling her a 'handmaid' are engaging in sexist and misogynistic language.

I’m going to try this again: what does “tucking in with spoons mean”?

I genuinely have no idea what you’re trying to say here.

Nope. The fact that Comey Barrett is a woman is irrelevant here, it’s her beliefs I take issue with. Anyone who shares them should be nowhere near the SCOTUS, but the religious right love them so the US is stuck with 3 of them.

Pussyhands · 01-02-2022 09:59AM

Joey announced Qatar as an ally. lol

Where are all the BLM folks who heralded him as the saviour now? BLM except when it comes to slaves in Qatar eh?

One eyed Jack · 01-02-2022 11:05AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118563418#Comment_118563418

But if anyone who shares her beliefs shouldn’t be permitted to sit on the bench of SCOTUS, wouldn’t that amount to discrimination based upon religion?

I don’t think the US is stuck with them, so much as they are representative of the people of the US. Stuck with them implies that they aren’t wanted by either side of the political divide - no doubt there are those people who would put Conservative Judges in the basket of deplorables category, and they’d be making a terrible mistake -

As much as you’re critical of unbending Originalists, Conservatives in the US are as critical of bendy Textualists, so without either side intending to - balance is achieved 😁

I think the issue is that she allows her religious and personal positions to colour her Legal rulings.

I couldn't care less who or what a Judge is in Private.

In the Courtroom however, Justice is supposed to be blind and the law applied without a "lens".

The Judiciary in the US is wildly partisan (in all directions) and it is to the detriment of their society.

To be fair EVERYTHING in the US is wildly partisan - every teeny tiny public role in the US is an Elected position, leading to outside influence and everything becoming about "their guy" having control over something or other.

They could scrap about 90% of the elected positions in the US and they'd still have way more elections than they need to have.

Brian? · 01-02-2022 04:54PM

Actually if you look at the amount of staunchly conservative judges on the SCOTUS it isn’t representative of the US population at all. It’s just that since Reagan the GOP presidents have tended to nominate judges more conservative than they are themselves.

Trump isn’t even a conservative and he nominated Kavanaugh and Comey Barrett who are extreme even by normal Catholic standards.

The SCOTUS isn’t balanced at all. It was Mc Connell shenanigans and luck that allowed Trump to nominate 3 judges. Ensuring a conservative bias for decades.

I don’t expect this to be fixed, but it’s a basket case.

Faugheen · 01-02-2022 06:12PM

But her makey-uppy beliefs shouldn't have any impact on the rulings she gives. She doesn't live in a country that is ruled by religion.

Instead, they make up some nonsense about how their judgements are based on the Constitution as it was originally presented - over 400 years ago. Absolute bollocks.

At least the 'liberal' wing (plus Roberts every now and again) rule with the Constitution as a foundation which was intended to be interpreted as time moved on to the present day.

Are you seriously asking me to explain the term tucking in?

From the Cambridge Dictionary: Tuck in/Tuck into 'to start eating something eagerly'.

I am asking you to explain what it meant in this context. It was a bizarre reply. Something about a swill bucket. I don’t know man, you lost me. You over egged the pudding metaphor

Sand · 01-02-2022 06:52PM

What is unclear about "progressives" tucking into the bucket corporate media is huffing and puffing over? The whole "progressive" ideology is whatever media told them to think, no matter how stupid the idea. It certainly unifies them more than describing them as young, white or middle class which was what I originally replied to.
