Amy Coney Barrett

At the risk of dragging this thread back on topic, McConnell has scheduled a confirmation vote this coming Monday.

So, you deliberately worded your statement knowing it would imply sexual fantasies then claimed you didn't introduce the concept..

No I wrote a deliberately couched reply in a particular way. I didn't introduce any concept. I left that to those who read my reply.

Which post?

You've lost.

Officer I didn't kill him, I just deliberately pushed him towards the cliff. Gravity and the stop at the end killed him.

Getting back on topic would be good--certainly more useful than 8 or so pages of arguing about whether someone has sexual fantasies.

Anyway, apparently a poll indicated that 51% of Americans do think she should be confirmed to the Supreme Court:

This is only barely a majority, and in fact the margin of error presumably drop it into a minority, but I believe it's an improvement over where it was previously.

On the downside, the poll spanned September 30 to October 15. The hearings only happened in the last few days of that poll, meaning they would have had a negligible effect on the results; in other words, if the hearings changed people's opinion, it wouldn't register in the poll. It would be interesting to see a new poll to see what effect, if any, they had on popular opinion.

You've lost.

Are you daft?

Are you daft?

You're running away from the argument. Ergo, my post.

You keep saying stuff like this and I have no idea what you are talking about. I asked what you first thought when you saw the Kleenex comment - you said you already answered. I must have missed it so show me, which post #.

Here we go....

Barrett was trustee at private school with anti-gay policies

Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett served for nearly three years on the board of private Christian schools that effectively barred admission to children of same-sex parents and made it plain that openly gay and lesbian teachers weren't welcome in the classroom.

... The AP spoke with more than two dozen people who attended or worked at Trinity Schools, or former members of People of Praise. They said the community's teachings have been consistent for decades: Homosexuality is an abomination against God, sex should occur only within marriage and marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

A 2018-19 enrollment agreement obtained by the AP says "the only proper place for human sexual activity is marriage, where marriage is a legal and committed relationship between one man and one woman." It goes on to say that activities such as "fornication, pornography, adultery and homosexual acts, and advocating or modeling any of these behaviors" are at odds with the school's core beliefs.

Here we go....

I wonder how the announcement that the Pope supports same sex civil unions will affect the views of the school and those of the obedient daughter of the Holy Catholic and Apostlic Church.

She is going to be the most illegitimate and hated SCOTUS judge ever. The Dems may have to remove her, to save the court.

Nope, they won't.
