It might seem sort of funny if it weren’t so sad. The attacks against Amy Coney Barrett, the nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court are vile and unwarranted.

The worst thing the left can say about her is that she’s a Christian and they’re afraid her beliefs may affect her decisions as a justice.

The simple truth is that the United States was founded on Christian principles, whether the left likes it or not.

Those principles have been greatly defiled in the years since the geniuses (for any age) welded together a constitution, followed by a Bill of Rights, that put citizens first – not a bunch of smug individuals who think their election to office makes them smarter than those who elected them.

Death of Obamacare?

Televised Barrett hearings also offered up rants about how her appointment would kill Obamacare, thus certain individuals’ health care.

Obamacare was a disaster from its start. It ran up medical costs and destroyed much of the doctor-patient relationship that is so important.

We don’t know what others’ experience was but the supplemental policy we had before Obamacare doubled in price afterward. It was too expensive it so we dropped it.

Judge Barrett came well prepared for the gotcha questions of lefty questioners.

When Sen. Diane Feinstein pressed Judge Barrett about a hypothetical case she might be required to rule on, Mrs. Barrett replied with the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg (her predecessors’) response during her hearing for the Supreme Court:

Justice Ginsburg famously said that it would be wrong to preview how she would rule on certain legislative cases before she was seated on the bench, establishing the Ginsburg standard – no hints, no forecasts, no previews.

Judge Barrett told Senator Feinstein that her only commitment is upholding the rule of law.

Most Americans accept that standard.

Law and order and the constitution have served America well during its over 200 years.

Senate Judicial Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, who has recovered much of his support from conservatives after slipping over the edge with the late John McCain, initiated Barrett’s confirmation hearing with this question:

“You said you are an originalist, is that true?”

Graham then said. “What does that mean in English?”

Barrett obliged this way:

“In English. Okay, so in English that means that I interpret the Constitution as a law,” Barrett answered. “That I interpret its text as text. And I understand it to have the meaning that it had at the time people ratified it. So that meaning doesn’t change over time and it’s not up to me to update it or infuse my own policy views into it.”

Graham noted that her take sounded a lot like the late Justice Antonin Scalia, for whom she once clerked, telling her that the press has often referred to her as the “female Justice Scalia.” While she seemed flattered, she explained that she fully expects to be her own justice.

“I want to be careful to say that if I’m confirmed, you would not be getting a Justice Scalia, you would be getting a Justice Barrett.”

Election Stakes High

The stakes are high in this election, determining whether the United States will remain basically a constitutional republic, or something far different (and worse).

Democrats have already threatened the “pack the court” if they take the presidency and the Senate, returning it to a leftist majority.

While major media polls show the Biden-Harris ticket with leads, columnist Matt Vespa cited one metric that has decided presidential winners since 1988 and Trump has a lock on it.

He quotes David Chapman and Pollwatch, which have been tracking the polling this cycle and cutting through the hogwash released by the major media.

Funny Business With Polls

Vespa writes:

“There’s been a lot of funny business with the polling folks – firms conducting polls around the same time but getting different results. We have shy Trump voters. We have youth vote interest tanking in this election cycle to levels not seen since 2000. Some polls have one million fewer young people voting this year. But somehow Biden is going to win by like 12 points. It’s unreliable to the nth degree. So, what Chapman did was compile a thread that cuts through a lot of the liberal media silliness out there. For starters, he nixes the idea that bad economies kill incumbents. Yes, that was the case for Bush 41, but historically the incumbent party is 12-11 when facing re-election during an economic downturn.”

Chapman also commented that “no incumbent who has received at least 75% of the primary vote has lost re-election. Donald Trump received 94% of the primary vote, which is the fourth highest all-time. Higher than Eisenhower, Nixon, Clinton, and Obama.”

It gets better, yet.

“Three times in history America has faced a pandemic, recession, and civil unrest during an election year. The incumbent party is 3-0 in those elections,” wrote Chapman. “What about polls? Well, polls are predicting Trump’s win. The ABC poll shows Trump with a 19-point enthusiasm advantage.”

That’s good news for us in the “deplorable” ranks, as Hillary Pantsuit once called us.

But we still have to turn out to vote.

We plan to vote for President Trump in person.
