GOP fights back against attacks on Amy Coney Barrett’s adopted children

“Some adoptions from Haiti were legit. Many were sketchy as hell,” wrote a Democratic activist and former Capitol Hill staffer, Dana Houle, in a since-deleted tweet on Friday. “Would it matter if her kids were scooped up by ultra-religious Americans, or … when there was family in Haiti?”

Another left-wing activist, John Lee Brougher of the NextGen America PAC, added fuel to the fire.

“As an adoptee, I need to know more about the circumstances of how Amy Coney Barrett came to adopt her children, and the treatment of them since,” Brougher wrote, according to Breitbart News. “Transracial adoption is fraught with trauma and potential for harm.” Brougher’s tweet has also been removed.

Hilarious. To the leftists adopting an orphaned child with different pigmentation to yourself is now some kind of crime.

The entire population of the United States will see a total leftist clown show similar to the Kavanaugh confirmation 6 weeks before a national election. They cannot help themselves. They cannot stop themselves. Its self-immolation but the left is so entirely out-of-touch they cannot even perceive it. Its all over but the shouting, burning, looting and murder and we will take care of that promptly starting November 4th 2020.

They need to share this opinion with radical left Hollywood elites who have been virtue signaling with interracial adoption for years and years.

Just as a little trip down memory lane, we saw this movie a bit before when MSNBC's Melissa Harris Perry made derogatory slurs against Mitt Romney for his adopted grandchild. I tried to post her subsequent apology that she did on air but that video seems to have been taken down/removed from most articles that have it embedded. Maybe someone else can find a live version.

Oh, and before I leave, did I mention that Melissa Harris Perry is Kamala's sister?????

As I said above, go for it, Kamala. Let's see if you learned anything by watching your sister step on the landmine and see her limbs blown off.

She is 48 and her legal background is outstanding.

If Joe is elected and- hypothetically but won't happen- Michelle Obama wanted to be on the Supreme Court the lefties would line right up like pigs at the trough to say what a brilliant idea that is.

She was appointed like 3 yearts ago to the 7th Circuit I think? By Trump. Little too much like picking out your own puppet...


I think a SC judge should have more experience at that level so I think she is a bit on the young side. All appointees have great legal backgrounds, the question is about their judicial experience and backgrounds.

I really dont give a shit what so called lefties think. I told you before we can have open honest discussion but don;t cite radical bullshit as though I brought it into the equation or agree with it. Michelle would never be qualified.

But Barett is a little young on judicial experience to be honest. Great resume but a few more years at the 7th Circuit would make her perfect (assuming she still can separate personal from judicial reasoning).

I think it was Justice Kennedy who said that when he first arrived on the court one of the seasoned justices told him: "Your first two years here, you will wonder how you got here. After that, you will wonder how everyone else got here."

I doubt there is any perfect formula for picking the right experience but I think past results have often showen that Clerking, Practice, Teaching, Appellate Court Experience is often a good lineage to have. Not sure why Trump chose a younger than normal selection.

Kagan was also relatively young when she was selected and did not have the proper experience to be a Justice in my opinion. barrett will be younger by 5 years I believe at the time of her nomination. kagan got through thanks to party politics.

I hold the SC in the highest esteem and constitional law is a subject I enjoy very much. I was a big fan of Scalia even when at times I did not agree with his decisions because they were still very intelligent and soundly written. After meeting him a few times I really liked his personality and way he told stories about the court and can see him as a geniune person.

I grew up in the era of solid long term Justices and now Congress and the white house have turned it into a political pissing match with no honor.

All the dem senators are putting on this rude butt-hurt routine where they are refusing to meet with Justice Barrett because republicans refused to have meet and greets with Merrick Garland and they want to get even - as if the handling of Kavanaugh did give them enough pain and blood to gloat over.

With regard to Garland though, big difference. Republicans did not schedule meet and greet meetings with Garland because a confirmation hearing was never planned or scheduled - so it was not appropriate to put a non-candidate through all of that.

Of course that answer engages them and pokes the bear even more, but that is the correct explanation. Barrett has a confirmation hearing scheduled and planned and announced, and Garland did not. It was not a matter of the pubs being rude to him so the dems are entitled to be rude in return. That is second grade butt-hurt stuff.

It's all fine though. Amy needs to focus and manage her energy and emotions very carefully in this difficult process and also watch out for lefty nuts trying to assassinate her or throw feces on her etc- their usual stuff. So if she is not going to be going around meeting with the dems that probably works for her. There are no marginal or swing or available votes there anyway. It would take a lot of time and they are dangerous and rude so if she can avoid them, fine. You can argue that the dems in the house and senate may not individually be dangerous but many of them are very tight with domestic terrorist type organizations that can do their dirty work for them. She needs extra protection. And the Majority Leader and President should protect her from abuse by dems and make sure that hearing are shut down when they are abusely out of order, but that confirmation clock still ticks.

Her eccentric religious affiliation is a huge red flag. An even bigger red flag is stacking the highest court with openly "conservative" judges. I realize that's what some of the wingnuts on here like but it's truly a horrible strategy for a country.

I agree that it is open for the hearings but if she answers, my religious beliefs are kept apart when I judge and I dont rely on them at all, then the Dems can simply keep beating the dead horse but it will not get them far giventhe voting situation in the senate.

Being Conservative is not a bad thing if the law is respected and equal protection is recognized under the Constitution. Itr is a sad thing to know only a liberal court would have decided correctly in Brown v. Board of Ed and I woudl think conservatives would also agree. Right to privacy is the grey matter in the Consittution and presents many issues for conservative v. liberal interpretations.

I have a bigger negative against Barrett...she is slighlty young with little appellate court experience (same with Kagan to be fair). is it mandatory? no. But given the severity of the cases that come up, we want more history and decisions to understand the legal thought process of the candidates. Barrett is not ready yet.


But the fact that presidents are hand picking judges to go after certain rights or cases is extremely dangerous and wrong and this is where the court has come to.
