CHICAGO (AP) — Although Amy Coney Barrett is the president’s choice to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she is more aptly described as heir to another departed Supreme Court justice: conservative hero Antonin Scalia.
Like Scalia, for whom she once clerked, she is a committed Roman Catholic and a devotee of his favored interpretation of the Constitution known as originalism. Those qualifications delight many on the right but dismay liberals who fear her votes could result in the chipping away of some laws, especially the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-ruth-bader-ginsburg-chicago-us-supreme-court-courts-547b7de5b6ebabedee46b08b5bb37141 |

Belonging to any Religious "Cult", or "Sect", or any Religion for that matter, would not preclude Judge Amy Coney Barrett from consideration to, or confirmation to a seat on the United States Supreme Court. Matter in fact, the US Senate in it's questioning of Judge Barrett, by law can't even question her in regards to her religious affiliations. This is forbidden by the US Constitution itself, in the only clause that refers to any such "Test" of Religious affiliation. Quote:

We’re looking at Amy Barrett’s membership in a secretive Catholic group with rigid gender roles and a lifelong loyalty oath. We’re now joined by a former of People of Praise who’s now speaking out against the group. Coral Anika Theill was a People of Praise member for five years, from 1979 to 1984, after being forced to join the organization by her then-husband. She documented her experience in her memoir titled Bonsheá: Making Light of the Dark. I was a member of the People of Praise — many call it a community, but I describe it as a cult — in Corvallis, Oregon. I experienced abuse and torture by my husband, Marty Warner, Independence, Oregon, and the cult leaders, as well as shunning, shaming and a smear campaign against me when I escaped and left. For safety, I legally changed my name, and I’ve lived under a state address protection program from my ex-husband for the past 20 years. Makes sense why Trump supporters would support this cult member. |

The No Religious Test Clause of the United States Constitution is a clause within Article VI, Clause 3.
Quote:
It immediately follows a clause requiring all federal office holders to take an oath or affirmation to support the Constitution. This clause contains the only explicit reference to religion in the original seven articles of the U.S. Constitution. |

Even though I left the People of Praise cult, I didn’t have any rights, due to being married to my husband, who was a cult member. I was under the authority of my husband and his authoritarian head, Ed Brown. Under their authority, I was forced to attend meetings, but because I had defied leadership and their authority, I was forced to sit on the floor outside of their meetings in the hallway at the St. Mary’s Catholic Church. There’s dozens of witnesses that have seen how I was treated. What I would ask listeners to consider, even though they say this is a healthy group, to consider how I was treated and if this would be correct for Amy Barrett to be treated. |

One time I had a miscarriage in 1984, and I had to have a D&C surgery. After I returned from the hospital, I was forced to attend a People of Praise women’s meeting, or handmaidens’ meetings. I had a head that was also woman, besides my husband. They wanted to go shopping, and I couldn’t, due to returning from surgery and feeling weak. I left the meeting to go home and rest, as my doctor had ordered. I was met by my husband and forced into the car, kidnapped against my will, where I was driven to the cult leader’s home. I was interrogated until wee hours of the morning and psychologically abused. The next morning, the community was informed to shun me. I would never allow anyone to treat me this way today, and it traumatizes me to admit this was my life at that time. No wonder Trump and his supporters like Barrett. |

There was basically no privacy. And all of your personal — anything personal was given to your husband’s head also. I wasn’t allowed contraceptives and was supposed to have all the children God intended for me, no matter what my health was.

Very astute. In Raven's experience most "pro-lifers" are actually pro-birth. They don't give a f.uck about the child once they're born. They don't care about the quality of life, they aren't prepared to help the child. For them religious freedom simply means the freedom to impose their beliefs on others. They are against abortion but are happy to sit back and allow the child to endure suffering no child should. They wanted to cut funding to the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and other programs children rely on such as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Frankly these issues are more important than Roe-v-Wade. |

On the People of Praise
Therefore, we covenant ourselves to live our lives together in Christ, our Lord, by the power of his spirit. We agree to be a basic Christian community, to find within our fellowship the essential core of our life in the spirit, in worship and the sacraments, spiritual and moral guidance, service, and apostolic activity. We accept the order of this community, which the Lord is establishing with all the ministry gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially with the foundational ministry gifts of apostles, pastors, prophets, teachers, and evangelists. We agree to obey the direction of the Holy Spirit manifested in and through these ministries in full harmony with the Church. We recognize in the covenant a unique relationship one to another and between the individual and the community. We accept the responsibility for mutual care, concern, and ministry among ourselves. We will serve one another and the community as a whole in all needs: spiritual, material, financial. We agree that the weekly meeting of the community is primary among our commitments and that we will not be absent except for a serious reason.[28] Reception Ralph Martin, president of Renewal Ministries, stated in the National Catholic Register that People of Praise is "part of the papally-approved mainstream of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, which has been encouraged by every pope since Vatican II, none more strongly than Pope Francis."[1] Coral Anika Theill was a member of the group in Oregon for five years during the 1970s and 1980s. In the wake of Amy Coney Barrett's 2020 nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, Theill spoke to a number of media outlets, including Reuters, about her experience with the group. Theill called People of Praise a "cult" and claimed that during her time in the group, women were expected to be completely obedient to men. Reuters could not independently verify her account. According to The Washington Post, Theill said her time in People of Praise "may have been atypical and extreme and that there may be regional differences."[18] A spokesperson for People of Praise denied Theill's allegations, saying "men and women share a fundamental equality as bearers of God's image" and "We value independent thinking."[2] Anthropologist and scholar of comparative religion Thomas Csordas has written about People of Praise and stated, "I would definitely not use the term cult in its popular sense."[5] Csordas said "People of Praise is best described not as a cult but as a religiously-based 'intentional community.'"[2] So, seething, deranged Lefty cockwombles, nuffin' to see here. |

It's so pathetic how predictable his playbook is. It starts out with Trump boasting that PersonX was handpicked for the job, they have tremendous skill and are the best of the best. Then there is a fork in the road. Firstly they do whatever is best for Trump, continue to get praise from him and anything negative said about them is fake news. Or, they take their oath of office seriously and put their duty to the country before Trump. If this happens, then we get the: Trump says they're terrible at their job Blames Obama Says he doesn't know them or haven't spoken to them either recently or ever (despite being hand-picked by him) Blames everything on them Blames someone else, usually the Deep State for them being in the role Calls them a loser, [insert insult here] Fires them, taking credit for draining the swamp. The more I think about it, the more it feels like they're not bad picks by Trump and he might in fact not be lying (much) when he says he doesn't have much to do with them or doesn't know them. I get the impression that he doesn't care about any of the monotony of the job. He just gets everyone, anyone else to do as much of the work so he doesn't have to, but he wants to take credit for it, without actually understanding what it is he's taking credit for. So, anybody that needs to be hired for a role, he outsources that decision to someone else then swoops in and takes credit for it. When he's blaming others for the pick it's because he didn't actually make it, someone else did. When he says he doesn't know them, despite them being "handpicked", he doesn't actually know them because he didn't pick them. Sure, we know he'll take responsibility for nothing, but I feel the issue with his hiring goes much deeper and is a greater problem. He's not asleep at the wheel because he's not even at the wheel, he just sits there every now and then for the camera. Or, he is just terrible at choosing people who are competent and the right person for the job and isn't a good judge of character, at least when it comes to people not willing to continually put Trump before country. There are some patriots left in the Whitehouse, not many and they don't last long, but there have at least been some these past 4 years. |

If the Dems go after her Kavanaugh-style they will only make themselves look bad prior to the election. They can either boycott the hearings en masse and keep silent, or they can go in and ask her question pertaining to laws broken during the Trump Administration, the Emoluments Clause, for example. |

Trump Demands Investigation Into Whoever Nominated Amy Coney Barrett
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following several days of controversy swirling among his supporters over a string of surprising U.S. Supreme Court opinions, President Donald Trump demanded an investigation into who nominated Amy Coney Barrett. According to Trump, the American people deserve to know what kind of person would nominate a justice who keeps siding with liberal judges and against the Constitution. "Effective today, I am ordering a full investigation into who was responsible for nominating such an unreliable justice," Trump told reporters. "Amy Coney Barrett has been a big disappointment. Very sad. Very tragic, what she's done. We have to find out who did it. I would have nominated someone much better, believe me. We'll use the full force of the federal government to find out who put her in this position, and we will hold that person accountable. We've got to do it. Maybe it was Joe. We'll see." White House sources said that the president was advised against launching the investigation, but he was determined to get to the bottom of it. "We can't let people nominate bad Supreme Court justices," Trump explained. "Once we find out who is responsible for making such a bonehead choice, I'll deal with them myself. They're not going to want to deal with me. I just want to ask them what they were thinking. They really could've done a better job. It's sad." At publishing time, Trump had also ordered an investigation into who decided to plunge North America into a trade war by threatening to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico. |

Honest religious nutters will only go so far, they tend to around 50% not be openly corrupt and dishonest. ACB will go as far as she can but will tend to not openly breach the law or the constitution most of the time. |
