This is wonderful news, but I can imagine the naysayers will still refuse to support her because Trump is the one that nominated here.
You know who you are.

You absolutely nail it!
And it’s worth noting that the two adopted children are Haitian, therefore presumably black. Let the identity-politics ideologues put that in their pipe and smoke it!
Actually, in the interests of full disclosure, that was the article I read yesterday. I didn’t want to drag the Satanist thing into it.

@HomeschoolDad, you really could make some money if you did this and sold them on eBay, or Etsy or elsewhere.
Thanks, but I’ve got too much going on in my life right now, to engage in e-commerce. I am caring for both parents, my father is very ill, and I am homeschooling my son on my own.
I’m just going to give it away, and let it go viral. Here it is:
(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
I’ve also come up with an even juicier slogan:
"My DOGMA is LOUDER than your KARMA"
(I got this idea from a bumper sticker I saw one time, fittingly, in the San Francisco Bay Area — “my karma just ran over your dogma”.)
In their defense (did I ever think I would see the day that I’d defend Satanists?), the kind of Satanism the author embraces is allegorical — she doesn’t believe in a literal Satan. This particular “denomination” of Satanism has a creed that sounds more like Wicca than devil worship.Jeanne_S:

As much as I despise the hypocrisy of pretty much every Republican leader over filling a vacancy before an election, yes, it is the current President’s job to fill the seat, just like it should have been Obama’s pick in 2016. I hope everyone who opposed Obama’s right to make an appointment, and yet supports Trump’s gets their words used against them by an opponent. Too many senators have absolutely no integrity.

As someone that has no issues with a person being religious, my only concern…whether Catholic, Jewish, Black or any minority,…is that they will swear that, to the best of their ability, they will put the constitution before anything else. Also, if they, at any time, feel that they can’t, they will recurse themselves in that instance.
I expect this of any Supreme Court Justice no matter what. If this person feels they can honestly do so, I applauded her selection. Even though I am anti abortion, I do not want a SCJ selected only for that premise. There are other things at stake as well!
Congratulations on her selection! She seems to be an amazing woman and role model!

And similarly, I hope those who supported Obama’s but do not support Trump’s are given the same treatment.
Yes, it will be very bad if she dies in this abomination, and has to learn that Satan is not just an allegory. Let’s hope and pray that doesn’t happen.
I would much rather have to face my Just Judge having been forced into hypocrisy in a matter of secular governance, than to have maintained “integrity” and greased the skids for abortion-“rights” advocates. By far the lesser of two evils.
I have always respected Lieberman even when my politics would have diverged from his.My sister just sent me this:
Fox News
Joe Lieberman slams ‘un-American’ criticism of Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s…
Former Sen. Joe Lieberman cautioned Democrats Friday against harshly questioning presumptive Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett on her Roman Catholic faith, warning such a line of inquiry will “hurt her opponents.”
I think traditionalist, orthodox adherents of all religions “get” one another, in a way that more secular-minded people would not. I have always wondered if his rather full hair around his ears are a modified attempt to wear his hair in payess, as ultra-Orthodox Jewish men do.

Well, as we are not Senators, we do not have to worry on this one. But no, I am the opposite. Integrity, that is Truth, is not something I believe should ever be bargained, for me anyway. One cannot actively sin, even for a good end. If politicians deliberately lie, say something they believe to be false, to get another nominee, that is not an action that God approves of.

I’m not referring to lying. I’m referring to taking one position at one time, under one set of circumstances, and then adopting another position at a later time, under a different set of circumstances that were unforeseen at the outset. Promises, the pledged word, and a sense of personal honor and integrity, while they are all laudable things, are not absolute virtues. Those are secular virtues. There can be higher goods. Protecting the unborn against an obtuse, blind, very large portion of the body politic, that would deliver them over to murder, is a higher value than maintaining a secular notion of “integrity” or “honor”.HomeschoolDad:

I could not look at myself in the mirror, if I had to say to myself “yes, babies will have to die, whose lives would otherwise have been protected by law, but I had to maintain my honor and keep my promises”.

Not even that. The Satanic Temple is, for the most part, a bunch of atheists or agnostics trying to be edgy by using the word “satanic.” What the group actually subscribes to is a weird version of libertarianism, and the whole “satanic” part is used to (1) as noted, be edgy and get attention, and (2) engage in a protest against government entanglement of religion by insisting that they be entitled to any rights or protections that members of other religions get.phil19034:

As the article explicitly notes:
“Members of the Satanic Temple do not believe in the supernatural or superstition. In the same way that some Unitarians and some Jews do not believe in God, Satanic Temple members do not worship Satan and most are atheists.”
But I guess “Satanic Temple” gets more attention than “Libertarian-ish Secularist League”.
As long as I’m commenting on that article, though, I wanted to note this bit:
“Now, without her voice of reason on the court ― let alone her vote ― Roe v. Wade is in imminent danger of being overturned not based on legal arguments or scientific reasoning, but because of religious objections to what is a safe and necessary procedure for the women who seek it out after discussion with their physician.”
Not based on legal arguments? There’s not exactly a shortage of legal arguments for overturning Roe v. Wade. It’s not a very well-argued decision. When John Hart Ely wrote his famous article criticizing it (“The Wages of Crying Wolf”), he doesn’t give any religious arguments; it’s entirely based on legal reasoning. And lest anyone try to claim his legal arguments were just a pretext to reinforcing religious beliefs on abortion, be aware that he was strongly pro-choice.

I like Trump’s Supreme Court nominees far better than I like Trump. Just sayin…
I hope it works out for Amy Barrett and she is confirmed. She looks to be a great choice!

So it’s come to this. “The ends justify the means…” Really?
The honorable thing would be for all potential and actual nominees to decline. To appoint a Supreme Court judge in this atmosphere, while the presidential election–actual voting!–is going on is without precedent.
. . . .
And those who are rejoicing now will feel a bit differently when the Democrats control the presidency and the Senate and the House. Maybe 2021, maybe not. But the day will come. And the reckoning will come as well. It will be take no prisoners warfare. And it didn’t have to be this way.
