Is she really this dumb?...if so, what the heck is she doing on the SC?
At the celebration of the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville, established by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., one of the most partisan figures in modern history, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett told us that the nation’s highest court is not, in fact, partisan.
McConnell is probably the last member of the human race a Supreme Court justice would want to share a stage with if she were serious about demonstrating that the court isn’t partisan.
“My goal today is to convince you that this court is not comprised of a bunch of partisan hacks,” Barrett said, days after she voted with the majority in a decision to allow Texas’ restrictive abortion law to go into effect. That decision was one of naked partisanship, unmoored from the typical constraints of small matters such as the need to adhere to prior case law.
Let’s take a moment to consider the messenger of this sentiment and the host of this event.
This is the same Justice Barrett who was confirmed to the Supreme Court as early voting in the 2020 election had begun throughout the nation. The timing of her nomination and confirmation matters. When her mentor, Justice Antonin Scalia, passed away in February 2016, McConnell, then the Senate majority leader, said that the Supreme Court vacancy would not be filled until after the presidential election in 10 months. The same McConnell ushered through Barrett’s nomination mere weeks before the 2020 election. McConnell is probably the last member of the human race a Supreme Court justice would want to share a stage with if she were serious about demonstrating that the court isn’t partisan.
