Supreme Court vacancy

[SunnySide]

Vetting Barrett to see if she will follow the law and not apply her own standards is the very basis of vetting a SC nominee. Given Barrett's background and past associations, a big part of her vetting is if she will follow precedent of Roe v Wade. When they question her on whether she will follow the law of the land, thats not attacking her, thats questioning whether she will be able to put her religious beliefs aside and apply the law.

Appears she has only been on the Appellate bench for 3 years. Professor before that with little to no prior experience being an actual trial attorney. As a trial attorney who does jury trials and appeals, I strongly prefer going before a judge who once practiced law themselves. Who knew what it was like to be in the trenches, to go before a judge who had a bad morning and carried that into the courtroom, or a dishonest difficult opposing counsel.

She is well-known throughout conservative circles for putting her religious convictions at the forefront of her work and identity. “Her religious convictions are pro-life, and she lives those convictions,” said U.S. district Judge Patrick J. Schiltz, one of her mentors.
