“I think in your case, professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. And that’s of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for, for years in this country.” -- Dianne Feinstein, when questioning Amy Coney Barrett for an appellate seat in 2017.
After Barrett was confirmed on a largely party-line vote, some White House lawyers made coffee mugs with the phrase: “The dogma lives loudly within you.”
“A legal career is but a means to an end. And that end is building the kingdom of God."
- Judge Amy Coney Barrett

Trump officially names Amy Coney Barrett as Supreme Court nominee at White House
The president announced Saturday that he had chosen the federal appeals court judge to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died eight days ago.
If Barrett joins, Supreme Court would have six Catholics. Roman Catholics account for a bit more than 20% of the U.S. population, yet they are on track to hold six of the Supreme Court’s nine seats now that President Donald Trump is expected to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to fill its vacancy. — That seems fair. </sarcasm>
The Supreme Court hasn't been this conservative since the 1930s. The US Supreme Court is on the verge of a historic transformation that could wind back the law in America for decades, in some cases to the 1930s, pre-New Deal approach...This is not a simple matter of just one vote.
-- This is what Trump means when he says he wants to “Make America Great Again.” Damn every one of you that voted for him. We all lose, and you will, too, when you vote Republican.
How it happened: From law professor to high court in 4 years. Barrett’s fast-track rise, set to drive the nation’s highest court to the right for a generation or longer, is the fulfillment of a decadeslong effort by conservatives to remake the federal bench that kicked into high gear after President Donald Trump was elected.
Senate confirmation hearings to start Oct. 12 for Barrett.
