Amy Coney Barrett Turns the Tables
on Fein-stein's Wild Hypothetical Question
By Jack Davis
{ westernjournal.com } ~ On Tuesday, Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett danced around land mines as she told Democratic Sen. Dianne Fein-stein of California that she would decide on cases as they come before her and not a moment before that...Fein-stein, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wanted Barrett to tip her hand on how she would rule under various scenarios. “Does the Constitution give the president of the United States the authority to unilaterally delay a general election under any circumstances? Does federal law?” Fein-stein asked in one exchange. Barrett replied that she would rule upon cases, not on speculation. “If that question ever came before me, I would need to hear arguments from the litigants and read briefs and consult with my law clerks and talk to my colleagues and go through the opinion-writing process,” she said. “If I give off-the-cuff answers then I would be basically a legal pundit and I do not think we want judges to be legal pundits. I think we want judges to approach cases thoughtfully and with an open mind,” she added. Barrett said during Tuesday’s testimony that in her philosophy, the text of the Constitution is paramount. “I interpret the Constitution as a law,” she said, according to The New York Times. “The text is text, and I understand it to have the meaning that it had at the time people ratified it. It does not change over time, and it is not up to me to update it or infuse my own views into it.” Although in her opening statement she praised the influence of Justice Antonin Scalia upon her, she also pushed back against a comment from Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina about people labeling her a “female Scalia.” “I want to be careful to say that if I am confirmed, you would not be getting Justice Scalia. You would be getting Justice Barrett, and that is so because not all originalists agree,” she said. When Fein-stein tried to pry a response about the Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion nationwide out of Barrett, the nominee said she would not become a justice with “some agenda” on abortion....

Judge Barrett Yet Again Outclasses Critics, See What She Did…
by Quin Hillyer
{ thewolfofwashington.com } ~ One important, under-noticed part of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s opening committee-hearing statement shows an admirable humility and empathy that puts to shame most of the bloviating senators opposing her...Judge Barrett’s whole statement was a model of decorum. Still, one passage was unusual and unusually good. “When I write an opinion resolving a case,” she said, “I read every word from the perspective of the losing party. I ask myself how would I view the decision if one of my children was the party I was ruling against: Even though I would not like the result, would I understand that the decision was fairly reasoned and grounded in the law? That is the standard I set for myself in every case, and it is the standard I will follow as long as I am a judge on any court.” For all of the caterwauling from liberal senators absurdly predicting particular, unwanted political results from the decisions Barrett might join or issue as a Supreme Court justice, none of them has shown much interest in whether the losers from their favored cases feel as if they had a fair hearing. When lower courts ruled against the Little Sisters of the Poor, I don’t remember hearing Sen. lowlife-Kamala Harris worrying about the impoverished elderly people who would have lost their housing and care if the Sisters had to close their ministry. When the Supreme Court ruled that the city of New London, Connecticut, could seize the small family home of Susette Kelo so a private developer could use her land, then-Sen. scumbag drumbling lips liar-Joe Biden was nowhere to be found in lamenting the injustice for Kelo. Indeed, scumbag drumbling lips liar-Biden was on record rejecting claims of small private homeowners. And so on. Not only have Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee long treated the courts as an extension of power politics, but they have a horrid history, never once matched by Republicans, of smearing the nominees they oppose. Sens. worthless-Pat Leahy, Dianne Fein-stein, and scumbag-Dick Durbin, in particular, have records of unseemly hardball not just against the records but in questioning the characters of conservative nominees. Against these cut-throat politicians, Barrett is a breath of fresh air. Sure, it may be easy for her to say she worries about whether the losers from her cases feel they at least had fair hearings and thoughtful consideration, but the record strongly suggests this is exactly how she acts. Even Barrett’s liberal colleagues from the faculty of Notre Dame Law School, and the clerks who served liberal Supreme Court justices when Barrett clerked for conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, have strongly attested to not just her integrity, but her thoughtfulness, kindness, generosity, and human empathy... https://thewolfofwashington.com/judge-barrett-yet-again-outclasses-critics-see-what-she-did/.
Stealth Anti-Sub ‘U.S.’ Spy Craft Washes up on UK Island
by Paul Crespo
{ americandefensenews.com } ~ An increasingly common occurrence in Chinese waters of the Pacific, now we see this happening in the North Atlantic as well – secret surveillance sea drones being discovered....Forbes reported that a small unmanned sea drone vessel, identified as a Wave Glider, made by U.S. company Liquid Robotics, “washed up on the rocky Scottish Isle of Tiree,” a hundred miles from the U.K.’s nuclear submarine base at Faslane. The U.S. Navy also maintains a base at Faslane. While this sea drone is reportedly employed by both the U.S. Navy and Britain’s Royal Navy, the British Ministry of Defense has stated it does not belong to them. The U.S. Navy has not commented on this vessel. Other government agencies and scientific researchers use this type of vessel as well, but the specific configuration and paint scheme make it unlikely that it is a civilian research boat and suggest a military mission. One is that is grey rather than the usual bright yellow, with no pennant to make it easier to see. There are no navigation lights, which are compulsory for any vessel sailing at night under U.K. law, or a radar reflector. Without these aids, the glider, which lies flat on the water, would be extremely difficult to spot… This may explain why one of the antennas is broken and how it ended washed up on a beach. The question though is why such a vessel would be sailing covertly in ‘stealth mode.’ These small, low-profile vessels are capable of traveling thousands of miles for many months and are generally in contact with their operator via satellite. Kyle Mikozami notes in Popular Mechanics that the “Wave Rider is easily recognizable due to the handle on the bow and a set of three solar panels.” Mikozami adds, “The spy boat also has the Wave Rider’s telltale set of three black, stubby antennas, likely for satellite communications, payload telemetry, and GPS.” Per a video from Liquid Robotics, the sea drone is actually a system which also includes a tethered, finned submersible, that uses wave energy to propel the drone. That unit is missing and may explain why the vessel drifted and ended up washed up on the island. What is the likely explanation for this mystery drone boat? Mikozami notes that the U.S. Navy “is reentering the field of anti-submarine warfare, spurred by what it considers the threat of Russian nuclear-tipped cruise missiles threatening the Eastern Seaboard.” He adds that the “Navy has re-established the Second Fleet in the Atlantic and is researching new submarine detection technologies, including using drones to detect and then chase submarines.” This secretive stealth sea drone is thus very likely part of the U.S. Navy’s expanded anti-submarine warfare efforts in the North Atlantic directed at the growing Russian submarine launched missile threat.Rush and Donald Have a Conversation
Nate Jackson President Donald Trump joined Rush Limbaugh for two hours Friday in what Rush called “the largest radio rally in history.” Having received the Presidential Medal of Freedom during the State of the Union Address in February, Rush was certainly a more friendly audience than most media talkingheads. Low bar, we know.
The crazy thing is, it made Donald Trump extremely likable. To listen to him have a conversation about a great many issues over the course of two hours without being hectored, bullied, or asked biased gotcha questions gave those tuning in the sense that Trump is actually a pretty decent guy.
Who knew, right?
Well, the president has proved himself likable to anyone who loves this country instead of disdainfully viewing it as a racist backwater. He’s likable to anyone who wants lower taxes, fewer regulations, economic recovery, sane immigration policy, judges and justices who uphold their oaths to the Constitution, to defend the Second Amendment, and election integrity. He’s likable to people who want the world’s terrorists and state bad actors to know the U.S. means business. Or, as Trump put it, “They’ve been put on notice: If you f—k around with us, you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before, and they understand that.”
We suppose the Iranian mullahs and anyone from the scumbag/liar-nObama scumbag/liar-Clinton hanoi-Kerry School of Diplomacy may object to the “likable, decent guy” sentiment.
Trump and Limbaugh discussed all of the above topics and more. That’s important because, particularly on the subjects of immigration and the Second Amendment, there wasn’t a single question about either topic at either the presidential or vice presidential debates. And there probably won’t be in the future. The mainstream media is utterly failing to provide a simple service to the American people: Exploring what the two major presidential candidates think about the issues. They’re too busy covering for scumbag drumbling lips liar-Joe Biden.
Speaking of scumbag drumbling lips liar-Biden, his declining mental state should worry every American, especially those who suspect lowlife-Kamala Harris is the real candidate. And, as Rush pointed out, even a COVID-recovering Donald Trump is a formidable force. “We’ve now been chatting with the president for an hour and 42 minutes, ladies and gentlemen,” he said. “We have not had a commercial break. I would thus have to say the president’s status with COVID-19 is pretty solid. The second thing that I would say is that not once during the hour and 42 minutes has the president been stumped, has he not known what he wanted to say.”
In any case, the overriding point is that anyone who’s exposed to Trump without the Leftmedia filter is left with a much different — and far better — impression of the man. ~The Patriot Post
