Listen to VDH in this video. He lays out the left’s obvious problems with Now Justice ACB, and how RGB could have helped their side tremendously by simply retiring when she became ill and in a timely enough manner that Obama could have replaced her easily… but Hanson also shows what outstanding mind he has by pointing out how ACB now basically neuters Chief Justice John Roberts, who has not only gone out of his way to vote in the opposite direction he was expected to but has even twisted himself to help the left, in the case of the ACA Obamacare, by advising them on ‘better’ wording, or something. The man has been a bit of a gift for the left during his time in the Chief Justice seat.
Video: Victor Davis Hanson & Tucker Carlson On Amy Coney Barrett Supreme Court Confirmation & The Future
The democrats and their MSM monkeys are now flailing over this very experienced and Constitutionally righteous new Justice joining the SCOTUS bench. ACB does not believe in the ‘flavor of the day’ policies, and how she does or doesn’t feel about them, dictating how she sees the Constitution and the laws.
David Harsanyi: The Left Doesn’t Fear Amy Coney Barrett, It Fears the Constitution
Nothing threatens the progressive project more than the existence of a Supreme Court that adheres to the Constitution. It’s really that simple.
That’s what the tantrum over Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation is all about. The notion that the same Democrats who shelved the judicial filibuster and now threaten to destroy the separation of powers with a Court-packing revenge scheme — the same people, incidentally, so fond of smear-drenched confirmation hearings — are sticklers for process or decorum is simply ludicrous.
For one thing, no norms have been undone by the confirmation of Barrett. If Democrats won a Senate majority in 2016, Merrick Garland would already be ensconced in the Supreme Court, election or no election. Many of the same Democrats now feigning outrage over Barrett’s confirmation, including Joe Biden, argued back then that it was the constitutional duty of the Senate to take up a vote. Our living constitution apparently offers contradicting directions from one election to the next.
If Trump had nominated Garland to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Democrats wouldn’t have any problem placing him on the Court — not even on November 2. Liberals act as if they are imbued with a theological right to dictate not only the terms, but also the nominees, of confirmation hearings whether they win or lose elections.
And when you’re under the impression that the system exists solely to facilitate your partisan agenda, something will seem “broken” every time you lose….

Prof. Turley also has these remarks on Twitter:
“Markey’s comments are deeply insulting to the many citizens, judges, and professors who hold originalist views. It is further evidence of the creeping irrationality in this age of rage where it is not enough to disagree with others on legal questions.”
Jonathan Turley: Markey: “Originalism Is Racist . . . Sexist . . . Homophobic”
“…You must now label those with differing views as racists or bigots. Sen. Mike Lee was right to call upon Markey to withdraw his comments but such civility and such responsibility is now a distant memory in American politics.“
“Sen. Blumenthal’s warning that there would be “consequences” if the Senate confirms Barrett seems to be a reference to the Biden Commission and its parade of horribles. It is like holding the Supreme Court as a human shield: vote no or the Court gets it.”
” Take a look at the parade of horribles proposed by academics for the Biden Commission on changing the Supreme Court. The concern is that this is little beyond enablement by commission-a license to do lasting harm to one of our most important institutions.”
Jonathan Turley: Biden’s Parade of Horribles: A Review Of The “Alternatives” For The New Biden Commission On Changing The Supreme Court
“ …Biden is offering up the institution to the 30 percent demanding extreme measures to satiate their anger. Biden once denounced court packing as a “bone headed idea” but he may now appoint a commission to convert a variety of bone headed ideas into bona fide proposals.”
” Sen. Blumenthal just said on the floor that Barrett is part of an “agenda” to move the Court to the right. Is that any different from the “agenda” to turn the Court to left?”

Twitchy: Here come the TikTok videos of women crying and screaming over Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation … these people are very mentally ill and should never ever be in any position of power over the rest of us.
Twitchy: Megyn Kelly has had it with the pearl-clutching dweebs who think Amy Coney Barrett ‘does not deserve’ to be called ACB … you know, I’ve never really been too ticked-off at Megyn for asking Trump what she asked him in that first GOP primary debate in 2016. I mean, somebody was bound to address the damn thing. She actually did Trump a favor in doing it, getting it out of the way, and taking his temper heat for it. He should be actually a little grateful to her.
