Pete King

News reports indicate that Judge Coney Barrett will be President Trump’s choice to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the United States Supreme Court.

I would strongly support Judge Barrett. She has an outstanding record as a Jurist and before that as a Professor at Notre Dame Law School.

While I have never met Judge Barrett, my daughter Erin was a student with her at Notre Dame and has told me: “Amy Coney was absolutely brilliant-in a class by herself! And a great person.” Erin also emphasized that Judge Barrett is a dedicated mother and would be an inspiration and role model for young women.

Any fair minded observer would have to admit Judge Barrett is a true legal scholar. But that may not be enough for some Democrats.

During her confirmation hearings for the United States Court of Appeals, Democrats led by Senator Diane Feinstein asked whether her Catholic faith would prevent her from fulfilling her duties as a Judge. This was a disgraceful, bigoted line of questioning similar to the bias John F. Kennedy had to face and overcome in 1960.

Though Judge Barrett was confirmed for the Court of Appeals, Democrats will be expected to renew that argument if she is nominated for the Supreme Court. This will be a test of whether anti-Catholic bigotry can be overcome.

Thank you Lord!! She is by far my favorite pick !! She’s got spine !! Lots of it!! Thank you President Trump ! Fill that seat! 🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸

My choice, as well.

But does anyone want to put themselves through this

The democrats hate Catholics and Jews.

So as long as your side gets what it wants Pete, you’re okay with gaming the system and putting this nomination to a vote, even during the post-election lame duck Congress? Whatever became of the Pete King who put country and his constituents over party?? Where is the concern the GOP had for letting the voters have a say in the nomination that the GOP used to block President Obama’s nomination of Judge Garland after Justice Scalia died? I guess Sen. Grassley’s statement that you can’t have one set of rules for a Democratic President and another for a Republican President was meaningless to the rest of you. I guess you made the right call by retiring. This is very disappointing from you, who I voted for and respected in the past.

This is good to hear. Our Mayor in Seattle is a Notre Dame Law grad and well...you know the rest. I was beginning to lose faith in the Irish.

Any fair minded observer would have to admit the complete hypocrisy from Republicans in attempting this appointment.

She would be great 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Democrats of today are not of a religious lot of those of the past. She is a good choice

Great 👍 choice! Smart, fair, and a true patriot! God Bless you and congrats 🎊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Democrats are working on their next witch-hunt as we speak

Great choice.

Great choice.

I wonder what the dem's will dredge up against her? Should be good. The made up story about Kavanaugh from his high school days and college was truly epic with all the actors and actresses pulling together for one big show. Should become a Netlfix series. After "Cuties" Obama should get right on that!

So happy to read this..Was hoping it would be her..She seems to have all the qualities needed to sit on the Supreme Court..Excellent choice !

I’m sure someone, somewhere is being prepped to lodge sexual harassment claims against her.

My Irish Eyes are smiling! Thank you Jesus!

God is at work.

Now here come the paid dirtbags who will claim that Judge Barrett raped them at a party in 1988.

Peter King for Senate!!! I think that has a nice ring to it.

Well if her beliefs prevent her from ruling fairly on abortion i would say it’s a really fucking fair question

Judge Barrett is going to need our blessings. She’s about to face down evil demons.

Based on what I have been reading, it sounds like she would be a great choice.

She can't be a great choice, she's Catholic. Ask Grindstone.
