    More riots in Philly. Just what democrats needed. Looting, rioting, 30 cops injured. Nothing says temper tantrum more than butt hurt democrats burning their cities down. Watch the reaction of the rest of the nation.

    Well done Dems - Manage to lose the last election due to complete ineptitude - and now - neck and neck in a race with the Master of Disaster. That is what extremism will get you.

    And, already the GOP is at it. They want the SC with new supermajority to revisit the PA absentee ballot case. Use the court to disenfranchise voters. That's the GOP way, because the fewer voters, the better for them. It is, however, a slap in the face of voters, with the cynical justification that their judges are "originalists" In reality, they want activist judges to push through the GOP minority power grabbing agenda, while hiding behind the constitution.

    more voters are great so long as they vote on time. Dems want people to vote after election day.

    I am fine with that, that's how it is supposed to be. Justices are supposed to have unbiased opinions and should not be political servants nor legislate from the bench. Unfortunately even the SCOTUS has been contaminated. I don't think ACB is anyone's lapdog.

    More riots in Philly................due to another black man being shot by police. The nation has already been reacting to incidents like that. It's why reform of how policing is done is being considered nationwide.

    The term Rammed is not correct. She was totally voted against by Democrats so they lost the case they are not bigoted and powerfully biased.

    Ginsburg was rammed. She got almost all votes. Biden will not be president. I used to vote for only Democrats and then we lost elections. I wanted Humphrey but did not get him. I wanted Nixon to lose yet he won.

    Congress is more important to this nation. And since 1933, Democrats have virtually dominated congress for long periods of time. Normally they buy votes. That is why blacks changed parties.

    Ginsburg got 96 out of 100 votes. That's not ramming - that's overwhelmingly popular.

    Trump never put requirements on Justice Amy Barrett. She made no promises. She has one standard. She agrees with the Constitution.

    Trump agrees with the Constitution as well.

    Democrats have had at a minimum from 1933 to now to change the constitution on this issue, yet have never done that. There have been changes but not to the numbers on the court nor rules as to how they must agree to vote.

    Under Trump blacks have made huge gains. From opportunity zones to help them find jobs to the rules to set them free from Prison, blacks can't claim Trump has not helped them a lot.

    It's odd the DNC doesn't recognize the blacks four year climb from poverty and rise in prosperity.

    We are completely screwed - The SC is driven by agenda - and not justice - you are completely correct.

    That is what I mean by ramming. She met virtually no resistance. Amy got tons of resistance so she did not get rammed through.

    You mean ELIMINATING police departments altogether, or hamstringing them in such a way as to make them ineffective at all in maintaining Law and Order. Sorry, but if the thug did anything to warrant lethal force, then he got what he deserved. Be it black or white!

    Even worse it will be. Barrett is establishment wonk central - as was Gorsich .. What's not to like - 2 more justices who hate the rounding principles and the Rule of Law.

    Oh FFS, at least get the narrative correct. Cops shoot man after man (cops were called because dude was threatening other folks of color in his neighborhood fyi) threatens them with the same knife he threatened his neighborhood with after a) cops giving ground b) cops instructing dude to drop the knife, c) cops telling knife wielding dude not to approach them. Of course you forgot to mention those specific facts, didn't you.

    So now what are you left with? Do you suppose that the social worker might have talked drug addled knife wielder down? Sometimes, it's just insane watching how deliberately dishonest folks like you are when you get a change to gaslight.

    So, here you are whipping the crowd to vent their temper tantrum. And all the while, the businesses that those folks who were looting, and rioting were attacking were most likely also folks of color from whom they stole their store inventories. And that's justifiable again why? You seem to approve of this behavior. And that's not shocking, but what it is is instructive. Folks, like you, who fan this narrative and frame it in racist ways believe in your imperviousness and resilience to apply this same BS story over and over, even when facts and video in this case clearly show just how stupid and dishonest your narrative are. So when you begin with your defund the police chant, I'll be the one advising cops just not to respond in your neighborhood. Ever. Cry to someone else.

    It seems what is objected to here on those justices is the dedication to our constitution. All in Government take the oath to uphold the constitution. So how can Amy Barrett be other than true to the constitution?
