Famed U.S. gun maker Barrett has announced that it has received the first MK22 precision sniper rifle delivery order from USSOCOM (U.S. Special Operations Command). As noted by the company, the submission of its initial production MRAD MK22 (Multi-Role Adaptive Design Mark 22) rifles have met all requirements for the U.S. Department of Defense contract for ASR (Advanced Sniper Rifle) in support of USSOCOM. Since being awarded the contract in March 2019, the MK22 has completed all aspects of the Production Qualification Testing and Operational Testing phases. – ADVERTISEMENT – CONTINUE READING BELOW – As a result, Barrett has received the […]
The Supreme Court retains a strong but largely undeserved reputation as a protector of the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. In fact, there is a long history of right-wing Supreme Court majorities serving as dead hands to enforce reactionary policies favored by political minorities who have lost electoral power, or even wars. Most notoriously, a right-wing court favored the South’s radical, pro-slavery positions before the Civil War and, after that war, played a critical role in nullifying Reconstruction and instituting Jim Crow; the so-called Lochner court devoted years to voiding federal and state health and safety regulations and other progressive laws, […]
I kept a little running tab of questions Amy Coney Barrett said she couldn’t possibly answer without compromising her future Supreme Court tenure. I’m sure I missed a lot of them, but here were six: One: Lindsey Graham asked her if there existed a constitutional right to polygamy. She couldn’t say. Two: Pat Leahy asked if a president could self-pardon. Couldn’t touch that one. Three: Amy Klobuchar asked if she thought mail-in ballots were legitimately democratic. That’s a policy position, I can’t express a view. Four: Richard Blumenthal asked if Obergefell was properly decided and asked her to consider its being […]
The malfunctioning mics ensured that the Senate Judiciary Committee fell awkwardly silent at times during the third day of Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing. Outside the room, however, the din of politics surrounding the nomination kept getting louder. With the Senate’s ultimate confirmation of Barrett largely a foregone conclusion, both parties set about making the hearings work for them in the final weeks before the 2020 election. Those respective playbooks became clear not long after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death in September, which opened up the seat that Barrett has been nominated to fill. But by Wednesday, with her confirmation hearings […]
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld described two Democratic female senators on Wednesday as “mean girls” who came across as “petty” during their questioning of Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett, claiming they are likely “jealous” that Barrett “happens to be smarter and more successful than they are.” During Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary confirmation hearing, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA)—who is also currently the Democratic vice presidential nominee—subjected Barrett to tough questioning, such as whether or not she believes climate change is a threat. Discussing the day’s proceedings on Fox News panel show The Five, Gutfeld weighed in […]
“This,” began Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), “is not normal right now.” She was the 10th senator to speak on the second day of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett—but the first to state the obvious. The signs were everywhere: the masked members of Barrett’s family sitting behind her and the senators sitting in front of her, flanked by bottles of hand sanitizer, ensured that reminders of the COVID-19 pandemic were in every frame. The frequent tributes to the previous occupant of the seat Barrett hopes to fill, who died less than a month ago, and the shadow of […]
After spending hours swatting away Democratic questions about her personal judicial views, Judge Amy Coney Barrett made a significant admission on Tuesday afternoon: that she did not consider the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion ruling to a settled legal matter, or a “super-precedent,” at the U.S. Supreme Court. While Barrett did not signal that she intends to vote to undo Roe if given the opportunity, she opened a door that President Trump’s previous two nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court did not. In 2018, Judge Brett Kavanaugh said in his confirmation hearing that Roe was “precedent on precedent” and “settled as […]
Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign media director Zerlina Maxwell was ridiculed online for seemingly mixing metaphors, and trying to present conservative Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s face mask as a “dystopian” symbol. Maxwell, now an MSNBC contributor, tweeted a picture on Tuesday of Amy Coney Barrett wearing a medical mask at her Senate confirmation hearing on Monday. The commentator also added two screen grabs from the TV show ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, set in an oppressive Christian fundamentalist version of the US. The images featured two titular handmaids wearing leather-looking masks, intended by the story’s oppressors to prevent the female characters from […]

In Amy Coney Barrett’s America, the Supreme Court will take health care away from millions of people during a deadly pandemic. That is inevitable, at least, if you believe what Democrats had to say on the first day of Barrett’s confirmation hearing. Democrats had plenty of visual props to reinforce this point: Photos of people with pre-existing conditions on easels, which had the effect of making this confirmation hearing look more like a murder trial. Despite all of this, Barrett wasn’t explicitly cast as the villain, but rather, as a pawn. In fact, while invoking the horrific outcomes that would surely […]
Beset by controversy and lagging in the polls, President Donald Trump this week was handed what his allies described as a gift: an opportunity to recede from the national spotlight while his party scored a win that would rearrange the tectonic plates of government. Trump promptly squandered the opportunity. For weeks, operatives from both political parties have picked up on a defining phenomenon of the presidential race: The more that President Trump has been the center of conversation the worse it has been for him. The pattern held true through the summer and into the fall, and it has contributed to […]
At first, the opening confirmation hearing for Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court not only sounded like the senators were in different hearing rooms—some were, in fact, due to COVID-19 concerns—but like they occupied different political universes altogether. In their opening remarks on Monday, each Democratic senator on the Senate Judiciary Committee cast the stakes of Barrett’s confirmation as nothing less than the fate of millions of Americans who could lose access to health insurance should Barrett join the high court and strike down the Affordable Care Act in a case to be heard on Nov. 10. The […]

As the confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett, who got nominated by US President Donald Trump for the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, kicked off at the Senate on 12 October, intense debates broke out on social media where netizens discussed whether that nomination was appropriate.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is so determined not to know whether or not he is carrying a dangerously contagious disease that he is outright refusing to get tested for it. And yet on Fox & Friends Monday morning, just minutes before the Senate Judiciary Committee chair was set to begin the hearings to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court, Graham insisted that those hearings were completely safe. When Fox host Steve Doocy noted that the chairs set up behind Judge Barrett were not “socially distant,” Graham let out a small laugh and said he hoped they would be […]
As Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing kicks off, the Trump-nominated judge has vowed to leave politics out of the law. The hearing itself, however, promises to be a hyper-partisan battle. The Senate Judiciary Committee meets on Monday to get the ball rolling on Coney Barrett’s nomination process. In her opening remarks, Coney Barrett promised to interpret the law “as written, not as the judge wishes it were,” in the style of her mentor, the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia. “Courts have a vital responsibility to enforce the rule of law,” she continued, “but courts are not designed to […]

When Republicans committed to filling the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the U.S. Supreme Court before the November election, they vowed to get it done no matter what came in their way. With hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee set to begin on Monday, just three weeks after Ginsburg’s death, it’s clear that Republicans didn’t anticipate everything that would get in their way. And it’s even clearer that nothing was ever going to stop them from putting another conservative on the highest court of the land. President Trump and Senate Republicans weren’t stopped by the COVID-19 outbreak within the […]
Stopping Mitch McConnell from his latest SCOTUS power grab will take an act of providence even with three GOP senators sidelined by COVID-19 and Senate rules requiring an in-person vote to advance the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett and then confirm her before the election. There is nothing McConnell won’t do to get Barrett on the Supreme Court. If senators infected with COVID can’t be in Washington, he could change the rules about in-person voting, just for SCOTUS nominations, the same way he deployed the so-called nuclear option to end the filibuster so he could confirm Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh with […]

Dear Judge Barrett, Everyone who knows you says that you are a person of principle, conscience, and strong moral character. Having read much of your writing, I am inclined to agree with them. I therefore urge you to reflect on the profound moral questions that your judicial nomination process raises. I believe that if you do so, you will make the painful but necessary decision to withdraw. Source link

Another Step Toward Christian Fascism. All fascist and totalitarian movements paper over their squalid belief systems with the veneer of morality. The Christian Right is content to have the focus on Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett revolve around her opposition to abortion and membership in People of Praise, a far-right Catholic cult that practices “speaking in tongues.” What it does not want examined is her abject subservience to corporate power, her hostility to workers, civil liberties, unions and […]

Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett signed a letter in 2006 that included a call for the end of Roe v. Wade, denouncing the seminal court decision that provided a legal right to abortion as “barbaric.” The letter came in the form of an advertisement from the anti-choice group St Joseph County Right to Life which was based in South Bend, Indiana. “The Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion for any reason,” the ad read. “It’s time to put an end to the barbaric legacy of Roe v. Wade and restore laws that protect the lives of unborn […]
On Sunday night, John Oliver returned from a brief Emmys-timed break to the Last Week Tonight desk. And the Emmy winner began by addressing the news of President Trump nominating Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late, great Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. Barrett, a disciple of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, is anti-LGBT, anti-reproductive rights, and anti-immigrant. She belongs to a fringe Charismatic Christian sect called People of Praise, which believes women are second-class citizens to men and the highest level they can attain within the group is that of women’s-issues advocate, which until recently they called “handmaiden.” […]
When the last U.S. Supreme Court seat opened up, Democrats held out hope that they could stop President Donald Trump’s nominee and force the GOP to compromise. “If we can successfully block this nomination,” said Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) upon Brett Kavanaugh’s selection in 2018, “it could lead to a more independent, moderate selection that both parties could support.” That, of course, did not happen. Two years later, any shred of hope that Democrats might have to block another Trump pick to the high court has been completely crushed. Few on either side doubt that Judge Amy Coney Barrett […]
What goes around, comes around. The Democrats have behaved disgracefully throughout Donald Trump’s first term and are trying to steal November’s election. Nothing symbolised the Democratic Party’s contempt for pluralism and the US Constitution more than the deeply personal attacks on Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings in 2018. President Trump has hit back by nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Did the Democrats think that poor old Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was going to last forever? One thing that all true conservatives (obviously Senators Mitt Romney and Susan Collins don’t count) can agree on is that […]

A position in the US Supreme Court fell vacant on the death of Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on 18 September. US President Donald Trump has now nominated US Court of Appeals judge Amy Coney Barrett as his pick for the vacancy. The nomination of Amy Coney Barrett as US Supreme Court Associate Justice has already been decried by American liberals who object to her Catholic upbringing and strong anti-abortion stance. But the nominee, who has already been dubbed by some “Glorious ACB” – as the opposite of late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who is remembered by many as “Notorious […]
On Friday night, Bill Maher took a victory lap. For years, the Real Time host has predicted that Donald Trump would refuse to step down from the presidency should he lose re-election—and this past week, Trump publicly announced that he would not commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose. “This week, the president fuckin’ flat-out said it—what I’ve been saying he’s going to say forever: he’s not leaving,” explained Maher during his monologue. “The law-and-order president refused to commit to the peaceful transference of power should he lose. I mean, even banana republics are like, this is bananas. […]

Moments after President Trump formally nominated her to fill the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Supreme Court on Saturday, Judge Amy Coney Barrett promised to “be mindful” of Ginsburg’s legacy while also employing the “judicial philosophy” of Justice Antonin Scalia. “I will be mindful of who came before me. The flag is still flying at half-staff for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg…She was a woman of enormous talent and consequence…Particularly poignant to me was her long friendship with Justice Antonin Scalia, my own mentor. They disagreed fiercely in print without rancor in person,” Barrett said. “[Scalia’s] judicial philosophy is mine […]
President Donald Trump’s hope for a “straightforward and prompt” confirmation process for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett was immediately dashed, as Democrats reacted with a host of arguments for blocking the appointment. Senator Dianne Feinstein said Barrett would push the court further to the right, jeopardizing “many rights and protections that the American people have fought for and deeply cherish,” including abortion. In any case, Feinstein said, the Senate shouldn’t consider any nominee to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg until the Nov. 3 election has been held and the “next president has been inaugurated,” apparently ruling out the possibility […]
Judge Amy Coney Barrett, picked by President Donald Trump for the US Supreme Court, has said a judge’s policy views must play no role in their decisions ahead of what is expected to be a highly-politicized confirmation process.

Donald Trump has selected Judge Amy Coney Barrett as his nominee to the US Supreme Court to fill the seat left vacant following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

President’s Trump’s plan to nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Saturday to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court is a shocking political spectacle.
