Who Is Judge Amy Coney Barrett, Trump's Expected Supreme Court Pick? | WSJ

@gregory garner You "allow" those of us who follow different faiths (or no faith) to live here? Oh, isn't that so gracious of you, the oh so special Gregory Garner, to give people of different faiths permission to live in the USA. I don't know what I or the tens of millions of people of other faiths would have done without your permission. The US may be predominantly Christian, but it is NOT a Christian nation. It is explicitly a secular nation where religion has no place in government and formation of laws as per the constitution. You do not give permission or "allow" anyone to be here. They are here, and they have been since before the USA was ever formed. There may be significant Christian cultural influence but that does NOT mean that this nation belongs to you alone. And then to go on and say that our "moral erosion" comes from the cowardice of white people, thereby implying that it comes from minorities fighting for equal rights and representation. Wow. Just wow. The cognitive dissonance is astounding. Let me guess, the next thing you're gonna say is some variation of "triggered the snowflake" and/or "I'm not racist, but..." before once again blaming all non-white and non-Christian citizens of the US for all of our problems. Guess what, Greggy boy? Minorities and people of different faiths don't need yours or anyone else's permission to be part of this country built on genocide and the backs of centuries of slaves. It's people like you who are the cause of so-called "moral erosion" because you can't accept that a different type of person can exist in this country without your permission. If the second coming happened today, you would be the first guy chanting to have Jesus locked up or kicked out of the country. Your perverted version of Christianity where only those of your faith are permitted to have a say in governance goes against everything your religion and this nation stands for, and it sickens me. I can guarantee you that the vast majority of Christians in this nation and across the world would stand against your hateful comments against those not of your faith.

[@mcnuggatron2129]

@R. Renovatus DEMOCRATS ARE NOT NAZIS AND OUR RIGHT LEANING VIEWS ARE SUBJECTIVE. I don't mean to mock you, I really don't. But I want to really get my point across: take any of your opinions, and consider that millions of minds just as capable of your own considered the same factor and came to the opposite conclusion. Considering this, how can you logically say that your opinions are correct? Why do both parties claim their opposition to be fascist? It's to delagtimize their opponents opinions in order to convince yourself that your opinions are correct.. In reality, you don't know if left or right is correct; it's probably about a 50/50 chance. What's more important than which one is "correct" is that the balance between them is maintained; either side can be brought too the point of extremism, at which point it is no longer "corect" In short, neither side is ultimately correct because they require each other in order to maintain legitimacy. Don't fall into ignorance; acknowledge that you may be wrong.

They have the ultimate say on whether or not a law should stand and how that law can be applied by making case law. And in cases where there are no laws they do make the law through established case law. Of course they have to limit themselves to the constitution but we all know that it doesn't always go that way since humans are biased.

The Supreme Court does not decide what's "right"... they only make the ultimate decision with regard to the legislature's actions (laws passed) being within the boundaries of the Constitution. I agree with her on social issues, that should not be decided by the courts, but the Will of the People through their elected officials. I just hope she realizes that is not how Trump works. His social causes have not done well with the highest court in the land. He was hoping a conservative court would help him politically. As he will with this pick concerning the upcoming election. If she is a strict Constitutional Judge as she claims, she will respect the separation of powers and not involve herself with the politics of the moment. That's why conservatives, in general, feel betrayed by the other conservative justices... they only like activist judges if their politics align. Activist judges have no place in our Constitutional Democracy and that is what I expect from ALL judicial nominees.

And if she can accomplish this, and mot behave like an activist. Then she is doing far better than most Judges ever have.

To subject any society to an antiquated interpretation of their constitution as research, technological, and societal progressions advance is to pull the wheels off of a thousand-year-old wagon and leave it stranded, resting in comfort as the world spins by it. sorry to be all poetic or whatever lol, but it's an important thought.

That isn't how law works. It's the job of congress to create or amend the laws. The judicial branch only interprets and enforces those laws

[@stevusmaximus]

You're confusing two of the branches of government. The Supreme Court did not abolish slavery or give women the right to vote, that is the legislature's job. Upholding precedent is part of the Judicial branch of government, stare decisis. Google it... it exists so courts are consistent. If the precedent is not to the public standard, they elect officials who legislate a difference. If this is objected to and makes it to the Supreme Court, they decide if the law is constitutional or not. Precedent is an integral part of our government.

[@tonyparker3506]

I know the legislature make the laws and the courts only determine if they are constitutional. I'm referring to bad laws that took forever to be ruled wrong.
