What a great role model and example for young women to aspire to become. She's very accomplished and professional. Even if some don't like her, they have to admit that. You will never get someone that everyone will agree with. I think she will do good things for our country.

Yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe that all five of the ladies who made it to the Supreme court could be singled out as role models for young women. None of them got there without "paying their dues".

Having said that and meaning it, I admit to being very happy to see her confirmed to the high court, as I do not believe she will "legislate" from the bench, which in my humble opinion is not their job ( Justices ) After watching her confirmation hearing, and whether your for or against the nomination, I think all agree she is very intelligent, capable, and has the correct temperament for the job.

disclaimer: Roosevelt ( Teddy ) , Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan are my favorite presidents however, so obviously I liked her. I still like the idea ( even if it is not practiced or believed anymore ) in motherhood and apple pie. And, I liked the fact that when she was sworn in, she had her hand on the bible and finished her oath by saying "so help me God"

When I was watching the confirmation hearings, one thought I had when some of the Senators were trying to frustrate her. She has 7 children and a husband who are all well dressed and well behaved setting quietly behind her. The so called "tough" questions rolled off her, like water off a duck's back. Seriously, her ability to respond to so many questions about specific cases without taking any notes, or referring to any notes and speaking at length about the case, impressed the hell out of me, especially since I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.

I wish her well

I have no doubt she'll both support and undermine hunters and anglers with her decisions. Similar to the rest of them.

I would love for her to raise concerns with campaign finance.

What do you mean....I'm sure she could competently contribute with her co-justices were it posited.

The 2A appears to be on solid grounds.

From what I googled in checking her out, she has brought up concerns with it. I would love to see the ruling reversed on what a corporation can contribute. Big money and super PACs drive too much of a election now. IMHO

She would likely only replace RBG dissenting decision and not change much. One could hope that someday we will pull our heads out our arse and have a “good” election cycle.

First in her class, and the class of the court. Very happy to see her in that role.

As long as it isn’t about the first amendment. That one stumped her.

Justice Barrett was very impressive throughout the vetting process. Handled it with class and intelligence.

Will be a great justice for years to come.

Very good news!!!

Greatest testament for a Supreme Court nominee I've had the privilege to see. Incredibly well spoken.

 

[MTGomer]

People always talk about Roe, Heller, and Citizens United getting overturned.
Is it often that SCOTUS revisits issues that have been ruled on previously?
@VikingsGuy probably knows.

I think some of you guys would enjoy being on a government forum more than a hunting forum or a politics forum.

Except for the 2A, solid ground post... right?

good point, but the political / government / legal stuff is just to much.
