'Bad nominee': MAGA lashes out at 'disgraceful' Amy Coney Barrett after vote against Trump

Source: msn.com


Story by Sarah K. Burris • 5h •


Justice Amy Coney Barrett is drawing the ire of MAGA fans after she sided with the liberals and against President Donald Trump in the case brought to fight back against cuts to contracts for USAID. The U.S. owed payments for work that had already been done, legal reporter Kyle Cheney wrote.

MAGA influencer Paul A. Szypula attacked Barrett as "disgraceful" after she voted with John Roberts. He said she was a "was a bad SCOTUS nominee."

Far-right commentator Charlie Kirk replied, "Looking that way."


Some pointed out that she had a particular look on her face while shaking Trump's hand ahead of Trump's State of the Union Address on Tuesday night. They wondered if it was foreshadowing the ruling...............

in several cases that she's not always in lockstep with the Thomas/Alito/Gorsuch/Kavanauch axis of evil.

Hope springs eternal.

and deviating from the path laid out for them by the president who appointed them. I don't think Barrett will ever become another Earl Warren (Republican appointed by Eisenhower who went rogue and wrote liberal decisions like Brown v. Board), but apparently she isn't completely in the tank for Trump. That must be driving MAGA crazy. She wasn't supposed to do that!

We seriously need to hire some zoologists and prison wardens to explain how to relate to the MAGA.

Barrett is very conservative but she is Catholic, not evangelical. Catholic conservatives are often opposed to big cuts to human services.

If another arch-conservative like Herr Benedickt gets in, you can say goodbye to the Catholic Church’s newfound commitment to social justice.

One thing I know for sure, Catholics are not a monolithic voting bloc on any issue.

Amy Coney Barrett is a hard "no" against abortion, however I've known many Catholics that are way more liberal on the issue on parental prerogatives, including abortion being a private, personal decision between a woman and her doctor.

So, this wasn't about abortion but that's the issue that won her a seat on SCOTUS.

could fight against paying people for work that had *already* been completed! But then, that's the way trump did his business on all of his ventures. Just working for him.... name recognition... was payment enough, according to trump. I think he's trying to start the same criminal game here, too.

I'll bet it flies for the Magats! How many cars have they taken to have fixed, gone to pick them up after they're fixed, and just waved away the bill and got away with it.

How about the cost of groceries! Will the magats fill up their carts, go through the checkout line, and right out the door without paying? Do you think the security guard there at the front door will let them get away it?

Trump shoplifts all the time... it's just services he's shoplifting instead of material items. What can you expect? He's the biggest crook in the world, and there's nobody better than him at it!

And one of them happens to be a full-timer by the name of Clarence Thomas. Still short of a majority. Sorry MAGA!
