Nominee Is A Winner!

[CrusaderFrank]

When asked about the 1st Amendment, Barrett has NO idea what it consists of.

"During her confirmation hearing, a Republican senator queried the Supreme Court nominee about her views on the First Amendment."

“What are the five freedoms of the First Amendment?” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) asked.

Most of these proposals increase penalties for protestors: Some require protestors to pay for law enforcement time, others prevent officers from liability should they harm protestors, and others criminalize mask-wearing. Collectively, they erode the right to protest and attempt to redraw the line to say that lawful conduct is narrowly defined depending on who is speaking.

These proposals could easily be argued as unconstitutional given that it violates the First Amendment, meaning there could be court challenges if any of these anti-protesting laws are passed. It is of the utmost importance that whoever fills the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat has a clear understanding of the right to protest afforded to the people given that related cases could very easily reach the Supreme Court.”
