She believes:
Guns: Not letting convicted felons have guns is unconstitutional.
Immigrants: Making green card holders ineligible for permanent status if they apply for any type of public assistance is “reasonable.”
She wrote:
Abortion: A dissent objecting to a previous decision on an issue not before the court. (The issues here are lack of judicial restraint and disrespect for precedent.) Wrote an article calling Roe v. Wade “erroneous.” (The argument here is she has prejudged the issue.)
Obamacare: A law review article criticizing Justice Roberts’ original Obamacare decision. (The argument here is she should recuse herself from the Obamacare case now before the court because she has prejudged the case.)
She also:
Women’s Rights: Belonged to a religious group that called its female leaders “handmaids,” a term associated with the novel “The Handmaid’s Tale,” in which women are slaves.
Gay Rights: Accepted a speaking fee from a hate group that advocates forced sterilization (a Nazi practice) for transgender people. (While this doesn’t mean she endorses those views, public officials in sensitive roles — and judges certainly fall in that category — are expected to avoid associating with groups that espouse odious views.)
Some fun could happen on the old Senate floor in a week or so. Appears the Republicans have the political will so say hi to our next Supreme Court justice, one of nine. The court is sorta Democratic as the majority opinion is the courts opinion. Meanwhile the new justice gets kitchen duties, and Kanenaugh gets out of the kitchen. Yes the court has a kitchen and dining room. A nice perk the new justice will enjoy.
Is there anything you’re not flippant about?
