My personal concern with her addition to a court losing balance would be a withdrawal of marriage equality to satisfy a fundamentalist religious agenda counter to the first amendment.

Charles Koch’s Big Bet on Barrett
For almost 50 years, the multibillionaire has been pushing for a court unfriendly to regulation of the market. He may be on the brink of victory.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/12/o...y-barrett.html

Nothing to see here, just another oligarch buying a judge...

With all the ACA being in front of the court mentioned.
If trump and gop had a better option put it forth! Just why the need to get rid without a replacement?

tRump and the GOP don't care about Americans having health care they just want the insurance companies to run unfettered.

So I have asked republicans just what they have against the ACA?


So far being forced to get insurance. Or something about regulations?


What other arguments do they really have?

For I only see the need for insurance and medical providers to be unencumbered with oversight and regulations. Allowing the unfettered gouging of consumers.


The facts are the cult has had over three years to come up with a plan. A plan that would of replaced the ACA making no need to kill it.

That and the fact that it came from Barack Obama and his administration. Not about race but about not permitting anything good to come from Democrats. There were surveys where respondents were given the details of the ACA and were in favor of it. Once they were told the ACA was what the Republicans had labeled Obamacare, the respondents changed to apposing it

Amy Coney Barrett ruled using the n-word does not make a work environment hostile

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...le/ar-BB19ZDEE

Wow. I can't think on ANY place I've worked over the past 50 years where one wouldn't have been fired for using this epithet. Incredible. She's completely out of touch.

In other words the ideal Republican nominee.

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Every senior in America and everyone on Medicare needs to know this:

We already knew Judge Barrett is ready to end the ACA and rip health care from millions.

Now she’s refusing to even say that Medicare is constitutional!

Democrats are fighting for the 65 million on Medicare.
