A group of Indiana University students asked the lower courts for help as the university was requiring COVID vaccinations as a condition of returning to school. The federal district court in Indiana and 7th Circuit court refused to block the vaccination mandate while the students sued the school. That lead to the students requesting emergency relief from the United States Supreme Court.
This track became the first test of COVID-19 vaccination requirements to reach the Supreme Court. Justice Amy Coney Barrett handles the region; however, she has rejected the student’s request and will not pass it along to the full court. [CASE Details Here]
Obviously Justice Barrett is not as conservative as many supporters believed she was.
There are many vaccine cases which will appeal to SCOTUS. There could very well be another case with different particulars that is more established in the principles of law that the court will hear. At least I pray so.
.
The students should take the semester or year off. They can always go back to college. This or another one. They cannot undo the “vaccine”.
I realize that this delay seems like an eternity to many youngsters. But those who care about them need to convince them it’s not, and help them, encourage them to spend the hiatus exploring other things, hobbies, job, writing, traveling. They might even be able to take some transferable filler credits at their local community college.
Good advice. The sooner they sever ties with the groupthink mentality and step back, the sooner they will begin to see things more clearly. Call it a sabbatical or whatever you like. Just do it.
Conservatives always make the mistake of saying ‘we want an originalist’ or a ‘constitutionalist’ as our primary requirement for a Supreme Court nominee.
Next time we need to pick the way that the left do – select someone who is a proven partisan Conservative first and foremost and who does not care what the Washington Post write about them. Someone like Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Stacey Powell, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis etc. Then we will get the results we want.
I have trouble believing that ANY president could totally blow 3 Supreme Court appointments out his ass this badly by accident.
You can blame the Heritage Foundation or whomever you want but…we do remember the expression “The buck stops here” don’t we.
There is a downside to having a liberal daughter and SIL advising a president on judicial appointments.
One look at Gorsuch, Kav and Barrett and I knew we were screwed before they were even confirmed.
The fight against Kavenaugh was a dog and pony show to make him LOOK conservative to the nation.
Barrett got no resistance whatsoever. That told me all I needed to know.
Yep! I knew as well, as my choice and disappointment of Lagoa not being selected was an indication of bad decision making. Barrett was a very bad decision on Trump’s part. Gor and Kav well we coud do worse, but could do better.
Call me naive, but I can’t help but think the justices have been blackmailed or threatened, Pence too.
One is blackmailed after one has done something horribly wrong.
As for Pence:

OR if one has something to lose – like a family – or a life.
Stop blaming President Trump for this.He had NO choice but to accept Barret.Blame Mich and the RINO”s.He worked is guts out fighting these”Traitors”from day one.
Agreed jelly.
I am so damn tired of having this exact same conversation.
The problem goes beyond Donald Trump or Mitch McChao and his merry band of RINO decepticons. The problem is that all SCOTUS justices are drawn from the same place: the Federal court system, specifically US Appellate Courts. Not only that, they all come from Ivy League law schools. Since the justices came up through the system, they’ll also look out for the system. Between that and their Ivy League pedigree, it’s well nigh impossible to find a good, COTUS honoring justice.
Who says you can’t put a Marc Levin for SC.
Agreed, but even Mark remains an avowed Republican and has made no move to reject a Party that is clearly opposed to the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. The GOP is religion to Mark, Sean Hannity, and apparently Tucker Carlson too.
Which Appellate Court did Kegan serve on?
What court had she ever served on before the Supreme Court?
The Federalist Society justices are the problem
“[T]hey all come from Ivy League law schools.”
ACB graduated from South Bend, Indiana.
He could have chosen the anticommunist cuban woman.
Who could DJT have chosen who would have been confirmed??
I agree…this is horrible but I think the deck was stacked against us by McConnell etc.
Donald Trump made sure we saw the GOP’s allegiance to the Fourth Branch and the CCP, we now all will begin to see the highest levels of the Judicial carrying their water too.
We have no representative government, its all theater.
You are exactly right – our government puts on a show for us but what it really is a gang of thieves and murderers.
This was mentioned in the Lindell Symposium.
I think this is likely.
The only way this was exposed was by a Trump loss.
AL,
Not only was the Kavanaugh brouhaha a dog & pony show to make him look conservative; it was also done to distract us from his, shall we say, weakness on the Fourth Amendment? He worked in the GW Bush White House, and he helped craft that POS, anti-constitutional abomination, the USAPATRIOT Act. Notice how NO ONE in the Senate asked him about his Fourth Amendment weaknesses?
WRT Barrett, she also said that she WOULDN’T do anything to overturn Roe v. Wade! She said it was “the law of the land”. That, too, told us what we needed to know about ACB.
She adopted 2 children from the Clintons favorite child harvesting island Haiti. That’s very strange behavior. Also, Jovenel Moïse was just murdered for refusing Spike Protein Shots for Haiti.
And she was a prof at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend…told me all I needed to know.
Oh bullshit – what we’re seeing is a depth of corruption and a totality of betrayal revealed.
What you need to know is that there is no recourse.
AMEN.
Remember people warning us she was a snake?
It’s OK.
Because she is a good Christian. Just like GW Bush.
The American conservatives need a better vetting process. That is for damn sure.
She’s a good Catholic like Pelosi and Biden.
My comment had less to do with her faith; more to do with the only test for many conservatives is how faithful the individual in question is? Single issue voters.
I have the entire document. Both hard and soft copies. I knew that would be scrubbed almost immediately and I wasn’t letting that insane plan be covered up. I have warned people for years this would come eventually.
Dr. Shiva’s great find of a document revealing the existence of a non-profit group of hand-chosen censors of political speech under contract to the US government was supposed to be available at winbackfreedom.com, but this site is apparently not accessible.
I thought the Demoralization factor was in Stage One.
Take the list of SCOTUS picks from the so-called conservative think tanks and put every name in the No way Jose column.
Mark Levin warned us, Bret Kavanaugh and. Amy Coney Barrett were risky bets. They’re not rock solid conservatives like the gold standard Neil Gorsuch.
He was right.
I see that THE ATLANTIC has a full on character assassinating and smear article trying to take Dr Robert Malone down. I have just seen their tweet saying “The Vaccine Scientist Spreading Vaccine Misinformation”. Dr Malone has replied saying
” and here we have the attack. He calls it full on character assassination… which it is. Having listened to many of his interviews in which I gathered he was expecting these sorts of cowardly attacks, my admiration for his honest upfront courageous statements has increased exponentially. God bless him.
More good news wow it just keeps on coming, not.
Let’s face it…Trump’s appointments suck.
DeSantis 2024!
Why to we look for a King?
Do you see a path for one lone man, isolated by the swamp, to bring down the Fourth Branch and its iron grip on the other three?
Do you think the Fourth Branch would let Congress confirm any appointee who they themselves did not groom and send in for confirmation?
Nullification and the reclamation of sovereign power by the States, may be our last chance. DeSantis has wielded more power as the governor of a sovereign state, then he ever could isolated in the oval office.
Nope
The Don kept the deal with me. He’s rehired.
Let’s see how Ron looks in 28.
President Trump and DeSantis
The perfect President/ VP Team 2024
We have a long track record of jumping on somebody’s bandwagon only to find out later they are corrupt traitors. I say wait and see.
I had Amy pegged from the start. I sent president Trump a message when he picked her.
She’s probably about as religious as the Marxist pope.
The best way to pick a Supreme Court justice is to ask Alito and Thomas to compile a list.
There you go ??
Let me explain this as simple as I can…
If you are standing in the “20 items or less aisle” and you have 21 or 40, then the cashier has every right to ask you to go to the proper checkout lane.
Now…
This case is a “Justiciable controversy”. What does this mean… Mr. Lawyer… who are you representing, the exempt or the non-Exempt.
https://casetext.com/case/klaassen-v-trustees-of-ind-univ.
read it slowly.
What a sad day. I hate to say this, but our laws and constitution are gone.
The most important decisions during PDT were SCOTUS.
His poor choices while likely recommended by others, he holds ultimate accountability for those selections as president.
These poor choices as we are seeing real time are the undoing of our country and sadly has cost and will continue to cost thousands of lives. All by design.
There is no such thing as a Republican or conservative party. There is no leader or organized movement. It is over 🙁
RIP U.S.A.
And those 200 million do NOT have a leader nor any form of organization. And that is exactly why the democrats keep kicking our a##
The Trump rallies say different.
Just because that leader and that movement doesn’t suit you doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Where did you come from sport?
Right off the bat you have nothing good to say about President Trump.
Next you are spouting insurrection.
You plan on staying long after you wipe your muddy boots all over the CTH living room carpet?
I thought “Truth has no agenda”, Will.
If OH is wrong, kick his rhetorical arse.
I find “you aren’t our kind” as collectivist as the wokecoms.
Said the wokecon.
So?
Why should I go gentle into that good night?
I prefer the satisfaction of leaving my enemies a barren wasteland sprinkled with their graves.
Sadness is for cowards, Rage for warriors.
Are we up to the job? I’m ready but I can’t do much by myself.
Would you have preferred he turn down the nominees McConnell put up and just leave the seats vacant?
Decisions would be even worse with only 6 justices deciding them, 4 of which are leftists anyway (Roberts included).
Extreme federalism. Maybe the students appealed to the Indiana legislature. Don’t know but that’s where this should have played out all along. IU is a public state school. The legislature could shut it down pronto. Force the school to go private if it wants to survive.
If those students had any integrity they would all walk out together in solidarity and let the school teach nobody. How could they be so obtuse?
But these fools are making it so easy for them to pick us apart. Divide and conquer.
I never thought I would see this in the USA.
It is so very sad, especially for those kids who know better than to be FauXI’s guinea pigs. We are the new Jews to their Nazis.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
I wonder if that cold hearted psycho’s kids are getting the pathogenic spike protein injections too?
She obviously doesn’t believe in “my body, my choice”. I wonder if she would support forced abortion to protect humanity from the ravages of climate change? /s
Particularly when it comes to SCOTUS picks, it seems that even when we win, we lose.
Please stop, everyone!
This Court cannot hear a case that is in conflict, Period, end of story!
A lawyer cannot represent an exempt party (7 of them) and a non-exempt party (1 of them) it put the case in “Justiciable Controversy.” Think about it!
https://casetext.com/case/klaassen-v-trustees-of-ind-univ
Better explained as, the court basically said… We can decide this case because the lawyer has proven 7 of them claimed exempt and were granted. In other words… the condition was accepted. And the lawyer proved it, there was equal opportunity.
Yup, that was clear as mud.
We, [who? who is “The Court”-Barret?] CAN? decide? But she refused to have it heard.
What then did she decide about The Issue of Manditory vaxes?
Because the Lawyer- which lawyer, students or college?
“Proved 7 claimed exempt and it was granted.” Yay! But what does granting an exemption have to do with whether or not the College CAN MANDATE the Vax in the first place?
“The condition was accepted” which condition for whom?
The lawyer proved it, WHAT lawyer and what it?
There was equal opportunity, for what?
What does equal opportunity for something have to do with whether or not a College should be able to mandate a Vax?
This is why I say Lawyers are witch doctors, they make their cash by being the only ones who have the magic juju words, pay by the hour for translation.
It’s a shakedown racket with the self conferred smartest kids in the class hustling each other to see who can hustle the most out of the peons.
If any of them gave a damn about JUSTICE i. e. Right Doing, they would make sure anybody with an average IQ and an High School Education could argue his own case in court.
They don’t, they want power and control over the rest of us.
Which is why I DON’T “love the Law”.
The Law is a piss poor substitute for Justice and Liberty.
Your explanation, even though, perhaps, correct, is as clear as mud.
You need more words and simple words for “Justiciable Controversy” because nobody is going to “think about it.”
Reading your reference is no help, written in mumbo jumbo legaleeze..
I hope you’re right, however.
President Trump trusted people in the Republican Party, but learned that there are many who are “snakes in the grass”. We all have been fooled in the past, but no more! We will do our homework and seek our own information on who is a good Republican and who is a Republican in name only. We know we can never count on Democrats as they always sound like Republicans when they run for office but vote 100% in lockstep for the radical/socialist/communist agenda.
I’d say they are really plants by the dems.
Retired magistrate here: This case would have been a political “hot potato” just like the 2020 voting irregularities in numerous states so the Supreme Court is not going to hear cases like these.
In addition it may be a good thing that Barrett didn’t recommend taking the case because we probably would not have liked the outcome. The only two Supreme Court Justices you can count on to follow the Constitution are Alito and Thomas. The rest are a crap shoot.
Which translates to Moral Cowardice.
It is precisely the “political hot potatoes” it is The Courts DUTY to decide!
That type of thinking exemplifies why the judiciary is compromised.
I hope before you retired you did what was right, regardless of how hot the political potato might be.
Any Justice, Judge or Magistrate who can’t follow the constitution when interpreting laws doesn’t belong on the bench.
If we had a functioning legislature, they would be removed from the bench.
Retired Magistrate here: Unfortunately the judiciary has been compromised for a long time; this is nothing new. Yes, before I retired I did follow the law but today we have many activist judges on the bench who don’t. They do have a political agenda and it is very difficult to get them off the bench. Look at Judge Sullivan, who by the way is still on the bench.
Like it or not in the real world a Judge or Magistrate can find an excuse to refuse to take a case or take a case which should be dismissed.
I don’t look to the judiciary, legislative, or executive branch for justice; I look to GOD who in HIS time will make all things right.
Maybe… Parents will stop sending their Children to these indoctrination Camps…
We were played by Mitch McConnell. I hope Karma finds that man sooner then later. I am absolutely slickened by everything republican right now.
You mean this: Hopefully they will keep this up as many have never seen it
Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian SettingsUpdated July 26, 2020
This document presents considerations from the perspective of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) for implementing the shielding approach in humanitarian settings as outlined in guidance documents focused on camps, displaced populations and low-resource settings.1,2 This approach has never been documented and has raised questions and concerns among humanitarian partners who support response activities in these settings. The purpose of this document is to highlight potential implementation challenges of the shielding approach from CDC’s perspective and guide thinking around implementation in the absence of empirical data. Considerations are based on current evidence known about the transmission and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and may need to be revised as more information becomes available. Please check the CDC website periodically for updates.
What is the Shielding Approach1?The shielding approach aims to reduce the number of severe COVID-19 cases by limiting contact between individuals at higher risk of developing severe disease (“high-risk”) and the general population (“low-risk”). High-risk individuals would be temporarily relocated to safe or “green zones” established at the household, neighborhood, camp/sector or community level depending on the context and setting.1,2 They would have minimal contact with family members and other low-risk residents.
Current evidence indicates that older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.3 In most humanitarian settings, older population groups make up a small percentage of the total population.4,5 For this reason, the shielding approach suggests physically separating high-risk individuals from the general population to prioritize the use of the limited available resources and avoid implementing long-term containment measures among the general population.
In theory, shielding may serve its objective to protect high-risk populations from disease and death. However, implementation of the approach necessitates strict adherence1,6,7, to protocol.
Inadvertent introduction of the virus into a green zone may result in rapid transmission among the most vulnerable populations the approach is trying to protect.
A summary of the shielding approach described by Favas is shown in Table 1. See Guidance for the prevention of COVID-19 infections among high-risk individuals in low-resource, displaced and camp and camp-like settings 1,2 for full details.
Table 1: Summary of the Shielding Approach1
Level
Movement/ Interactions
Household (HH) Level:
A specific room/area designated for high-risk individuals who are physically isolated from other HH members.
Low-risk HH members should not enter the green zone. If entry is necessary, it should be done only by healthy individuals after washing hands and using face coverings. Interactions should be at a safe distance (approx. 2 meters). Minimum movement of high-risk individuals outside the green zone. Low-risk HH members continue to follow social distancing and hygiene practices outside the house.
Neighborhood Level:
A designated shelter/group of shelters (max 5-10 households), within a small camp or area where high-risk members are grouped together. Neighbors “swap” households to accommodate high-risk individuals.
Same as above
Camp/Sector Level:
A group of shelters such as schools, community buildings within a camp/sector (max 50 high-risk individuals per single green zone) where high-risk individuals are physically isolated together.
One entry point is used for exchange of food, supplies, etc. A meeting area is used for residents and visitors to interact while practicing physical distancing (2 meters). No movement into or outside the green zone.
Operational Considerations: The shielding approach requires several prerequisites for effective implementation. Several are addressed, including access to healthcare and provision of food. However, there are several prerequisites which require additional considerations. Table 2 presents the prerequisites or suggestions as stated in the shielding guidance document (column 1) and CDC presents additional questions and considerations alongside these prerequisites (column 2).
Table 2: Suggested Prerequisites per the shielding documents and CDC’s Operational Considerations for Implementation
Suggested Prerequisites
*As stated in the shielding document*
Considerations as suggested by CDC
Additional Considerations: The shielding approach outlines the general “logistics” of implementation –who, what, where, how. However, there may be additional logistical challenges to implementing these strategies as a result of unavailable commodities, transport restrictions, limited staff capacity and availability to meet the increased needs. The approach does not address the potential emotional, social/cultural, psychological impact for separated individuals nor for the households with separated members. Additional considerations to address these challenges are presented below.
Population characteristics and demographics Consideration: The number of green zones required may be greater than anticipated, as they are based on the total number of high-risk individuals, disease categories, and the socio-demographics of the area and not just the proportion of elderly population.
Explanation: Older adults represent a small percentage of the population in many camps in humanitarian settings (approximately 3-5%4,5), however in some humanitarian settings more than one quarter of the population may fall under high risk categories13,14,15 based on underlying medical conditions which may increase a person’s risk for severe COVID-19 illness which include chronic kidney disease, obesity, serious heart conditions, sickle cell disease, and type 2 diabetes. Additionally, many camps and settlements host multiple nationalities which may require additional separation, for example, Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya accommodates refugees from 19 countries.16
Timeline considerations Consideration: Plan for an extended duration of implementation time, at least 6 months.
Explanation: The shielding approach proposes that green zones be maintained until one of the following circumstances arises: (i) sufficient hospitalization capacity is established; (ii) effective vaccine or therapeutic options become widely available; or (iii) the COVID-19 epidemic affecting the population subsides.
Given the limited resources and healthcare available to populations in humanitarian settings prior to the pandemic, it is unlikely sufficient hospitalization capacity (beds, personal protective equipment, ventilators, and staff) will be achievable during widespread transmission. The national capacity in many of the countries where these settings are located (e.g., Chad, Myanmar, and Syria) is limited. Resources may become quickly overwhelmed during the peak of transmission and may not be accessible to the emergency affected populations.
Vaccine trials are underway, but with no definite timeline. Reaching the suppression phase where the epidemic subsides can take several months and cases may resurge in a second or even third wave. Herd immunity (the depletion of susceptible people) for COVID-19 has not been demonstrated to date. It is also unclear if an infected person develops immunity and the duration of potential immunity is unknown. Thus, contingency plans to account for a possibly extended operational timeline are critical.
Other logistical considerations: Consideration: Plan to identify additional resources and outline supply chain mechanisms to support green zones.
Explanation: The implementation and operation of green zones requires strong coordination among several sectors which may require substantial additional resources: supplies and staff to maintain these spaces – shelters, IPC, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), non-food items (NFIs) (beds, linens, dishes/utensils, water containers), psychosocial support, monitors/supervisors, caretakers/attendants, risk communication and community engagement, security, etc. Considering global reductions in commodity shortages,17 movement restrictions, border closures, and decreased trucking and flights, it is important to outline what additional resources will be needed and how they will be procured.
Protection Consideration: Ensure safe and protective environments for all individuals, including minors and individuals who require additional care whether they are in the green zone or remain in a household after the primary caregiver or income provider has moved to the green zone.
Explanation: Separating families and disrupting and deconstructing multigenerational households may have long-term negative consequences. Shielding strategies need to consider sociocultural gender norms in order to adequately assess and address risks to individuals, particularly women and girls. 18,19,20 Restrictive gender norms may be exacerbated by isolation strategies such as shielding. At the household level, isolating individuals and limiting their interaction, compounded with social and economic disruption has raised concerns of potential increased risk of partner violence. Households participating in house swaps or sector-wide cohorting are at particular risk for gender-based violence, harassment, abuse, and exploitation as remaining household members may not be decision-makers or responsible for households needs.18,19,20
Social/Cultural/Religious Practices Consideration: Plan for potential disruption of social networks.
Explanation: Community celebrations (religious holidays), bereavement (funerals) and other rites of passage are cornerstones of many societies. Proactive planning ahead of time, including strong community engagement and risk communication is needed to better understand the issues and concerns of restricting individuals from participating in communal practices because they are being shielded. Failure to do so could lead to both interpersonal and communal violence.21,22
Mental HealthConsideration: Ensure mental health and psychosocial support*,23 structures are in place to address increased stress and anxiety.
Explanation: Additional stress and worry are common during any epidemic and may be more pronounced with COVID-19 due to the novelty of the disease and increased fear of infection, increased childcare responsibilities due to school closures, and loss of livelihoods. Thus, in addition to the risk of stigmatization and feeling of isolation, this shielding approach may have an important psychological impact and may lead to significant emotional distress, exacerbate existing mental illness or contribute to anxiety, depression, helplessness, grief, substance abuse, or thoughts of suicide among those who are separated or have been left behind. Shielded individuals with concurrent severe mental health conditions should not be left alone. There must be a caregiver allocated to them to prevent further protection risks such as neglect and abuse.
Summary The shielding approach is an ambitious undertaking, which may prove effective in preventing COVID-19 infection among high-risk populations if well managed. While the premise is based on mitigation strategies used in the United Kingdom,24,25 there is no empirical evidence whether this approach will increase, decrease or have no effect on morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 epidemic in various humanitarian settings. This document highlights a) risks and challenges of implementing this approach, b) need for additional resources in areas with limited or reduced capacity, c) indefinite timeline, and d) possible short-term and long-term adverse consequences.
Public health not only focuses on the eradication of disease but addresses the entire spectrum of health and well being. Populations displaced, due to natural disasters or war and, conflict are already fragile and have experienced increased mental, physical and/or emotional trauma. While the shielding approach is not meant to be coercive, it may appear forced or be misunderstood in humanitarian settings. As with many community interventions meant to decrease COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, compliance and behavior change are the primary rate-limiting steps and may be driven by social and emotional factors. These changes are difficult in developed, stable settings; thus, they may be particularly challenging in humanitarian settings which bring their own set of multi-faceted challenges that need to be taken into account.
Household-level shielding seems to be the most feasible and dignified as it allows for the least disruption to family structure and lifestyle, critical components to maintaining compliance. However, it is most susceptible to the introduction of a virus due to necessary movement or interaction outside the green zone, less oversight, and often large household sizes. It may be less feasible in settings where family shelters are small and do not have multiple compartments. In humanitarian settings, small village, sector/block, or camp-level shielding may allow for greater adherence to proposed protocol, but at the expense of longer-term social impacts triggered by separation from friends and family, feelings of isolation, and stigmatization. Most importantly, accidental introduction of the virus into a green zone may result in rapid transmission and increased morbidity and mortality as observed in assisted care facilities in the US.26
The shielding approach is intended to alleviate stress on the healthcare system and circumvent the negative economic consequences of long-term containment measures and lockdowns by protecting the most vulnerable.1,24,25 Implementation of this approach will involve careful planning, additional resources, strict adherence and strong multi-sector coordination, requiring agencies to consider the potential repercussion among populations that have collectively experienced physical and psychological trauma which makes them more vulnerable to adverse psychosocial consequences. In addition, thoughtful consideration of the potential benefit versus the social and financial cost of implementation will be needed in humanitarian settings.
*Specific psychosocial support guidance during COVID-19 as specific subject areas are beyond the scope of this document.

Yessir!
PDJT was not a politician. A bonus IMO. Even President Reagan had been Pres. of SAG (?), And CA Governor before President. He knew the political treachery of supposed allies. President Trump had no way to anticipate that.
I love all these back seat drivers.
Or are they something altogether different?
We need more strong state governors like DeSantis, not less. Right now Florida is like Switzerland. We need more Floridas to escape the commies.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve been played by the Republican/Conservative Party.
I remember the list from the damn Heritage Foundation, given to President Trump for which he promised he would only pick from. As I recall many in the GOP screamed and yelled…Trump is a NY liberal…He’ll govern like a lib… this is all con from Trump…blah blah blah, so I was glad he used their suggestions.
Before that election in 2016 I had made my mind up. I was voting for Donald J Trump regardless of the hell I got from some family members and friends who said I was crazy, that Trump was not really a Republican or conservative and I’d be sorry.
Well I was right and they were wrong!!!! I’ve never been happier with any vote I placed for any candidate in my 65 years.
I was sick of the Mitt Romney’s and lay down and cry uncle Republicans. I was sick of the ever so righteous “conservatives” and their principled protect the institutions and ideals, so much so that they would vote against their own constituents interests for MUH PRINCIPLES.
The Heritage Foundation and other so called conservative constitutional groups and think tanks, ARE ALL ONE BIG PART OF THE CLUB!!!! DC Swampers who will sell us all to the Chinese or the highest bidder, to continue the grift they have made their living off of for years.
Amy Coney Barrett is part of that damn club. Little Miss-“I love the Constitution” my ass.
I am amazed that I ever believed she really believed in freedom or the rule of law, much less the bill of rights or the Constitution.
I am no longer a Republican. I don’t believe in any party now. I don’t believe conservatives any more. I believe President Trump tried to pull us from the damn brink of destruction and that big club cheated him from the greatest victory in history.
Screw ACB. Screw Kavanaugh. Screw the Heritage Foundation. Screw the Republican Party. Screw the SCOTUS….
rant off….
good rant, you saved my fingers

Somebody should ask her if her kids are vaccinated yet!
Justice Roa would have been a much better jurist. She showed it dealing with that jacka$$ judge in Flynns case. Barrett is a flaming liberal CINO like Pelosi and Biden. Useless as a tit on a bull.
Didn’t some Justice say “The Constitution is not a Suicide pact”?
Obviously this SCOTUS believes it is. Not only do they lack the moral integrity to rule on issues of vital importance to the survival of The Republic, in this case Barrett seems content to allow a College to force kids to take a medication that might eventually kill them or render them sterile.
That’s for real assisted-forced suicide.
I recall it was the Canaanites who “made their children pass through the fire”, sacrifice of the firstborn to Moloch? by immolation.
God took such a dim view he had Israel wipe them off the map.
Who would be your choice for the nomination?
I agree with ACB, but, also with the lower courts
The students who brought this case did not pick good lawyers.
The students, looking for an exemption from vaccination, declared that forced vaccination by IU was a violation of the Constitution.
The Courts pointed out that forced vaccinations by states was declared legal by the Supreme Court
“Given Jacobson v. Massachusetts,197 U.S. 11 (1905), which holds that a state may require all members of the public to be vaccinated against smallpox, there can’t be a constitutional problem with vaccination against SARS-CoV-2.”
All judges today think cov2 is a threat and, so, allow states and others to employ what many people think are draconian measures.
As long as judges go along with the threat of cov2 (and now it’s variants), I do not see the courts changing anything.
And I would add this. Just about everyone on this website is frightened of cov2 and regards cov2 as a threat to one degree or another and have allowed themselves to be vaccinated.
Why should the people on this website who are dumping all over ACB want her to act any differently? After all, she is simply protecting the people on this site who are frightened by cov2.
ACB isn’t ‘protecting’ anybody. People who feel they must take the injections don’t need to control anybody else in order to feel safe from a coronavirus. What they really need is self control.
It is preposterous to think these injections protect anybody from anything. Even if the injections are safe (they’re anything but) they are instantly made obsolete by variants. And every flu and cold season always brings new variants.
...”Just about everyone on this website is frightened of cov2 and regards cov2 as a threat to one degree or another and have allowed themselves to be vaccinated…”
Have you actually read the comments on this website?
Obviously her confirmation process had a back channel letting the movers and shakers know that she was really a liberal in conservative clothing.
She has two last names, that’s always a tell.
sure is!
Another corrupt Supreme Court Justice! I’ll say one thing, these Justices that were recently added, sure put on a good performance as Conservative Justice before they were appointed. Once in (for a life-long appointment (which needs to be stopped too)) they show their true colors! Time to recall a few of those Justices! They lied so well, you know they came as plants from the Dems/Leftists. No wonder they all were confirmed, it’s all part of the socialist plan to totally destroy our country!
Lay this at McConnell’s feet.
I have to lay some blame on Trump as well.
He should of picked a non denominational protestant from the heartland not DC.
