Lol with your usual and customary "so what" BS! Barrett was a purely political appointment and not based upon her judicial qualifications as being primary:Originally Posted by Richard Davis
Mitch McConnell called Trump at midnight on the day Ginsburg died and told him that he had to nominate Amy
So what? And secondly, who told you that? I'm curious. Were is your evidence? Who else was on the call? CNN rumors don't cut it, and the fact is that Mitch McConnell could give him any suggestion he likes.
The fact remains that Barrett had to prove herself. Donald Trump didn't say on the campaign trail "I am going to pick a White, Christian, Woman to fill a SC seat".
I was pulling for Barrett first over Kavanaugh and I was disappointed that he didn't pick Barrett.
The FACT remains that the idiot in chief diminished the qualifications by saying "First and foremost, the central qualification and criteria I am going to use is that I pick a woman, and that woman must be black"
Her judicial qualifications are secondary.
.
"Josh Holmes, former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), said in a new documentary that the Republican leader urged President Trump to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court on the night Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died."
Holmes, who previously served as chief of staff to McConnell from 2010 to 2013, made the comments in a new "Frontline" documentary premiering Tuesday. The project, dubbed “Supreme Revenge: Battle for the Court,” will look at how the nation’s highest court has transformed over the years."
"According to an excerpt from the documentary, McConnell contacted Trump shortly after Ginsburg’s death on Friday, Sept. 18."
“McConnell told [Trump] two things,” Holmes said. “McConnell said, 'First, I’m going to put out a statement that says we’re going to fill the vacancy.' Second, he said, 'You’ve gotta nominate Amy Coney Barrett.'”
"After Ginsburg's death, reports emerged that the late judge said just days before that her “most fervent wish” is her seat not be filled before a new president takes office.""My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed," her granddaughter said the judge said in a statement."
"Eight days after the death of Ginsburg, Trump nominated Barrett to fill the liberal justice’s seat on the court."
"The nomination, which came just weeks before the November election, was met with immediate praise from conservatives given her views."
