News Weekly -- Amy Barrett's Nomination

By Margaret Clark

Amy barret’s nomination by Trump was not surprising. She filled the seat after the saddening death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Barrett is one dream for Republican candidates and believers but is one crazy tornado for Democrats and their party. She taught for 15 years at the Notre Dame Law School, and she is taught well for that. People say that Barret has one of the busiest schedules. She is one of those people that they scratch their heads in amusement or surprise and ask: “How can she do it?”

In 2016, not far away from the election at all, At a Jacksonville lecture, Barret announced that if Hillary got elected there would be a “sea change”. A change that might stay there forever. She also said that day in that lecture that she expected the Supreme Court Wade vs Roe should be emptied and not reserved.

“I think the question is how much freedom the court is willing to let states have in regular abortion.” She said. Amy is a very persistent woman, she is powerful too. People can bow down to her. After the Jacksonville lecture, Barret was nominated to the 17th circuit. The 17th circuit is a trial court in Michigan of general jurisdiction. And that was her main jump to her big career in a seat in the Supreme court.

She is and would be a 6th conservative vote. Making so that there can be a majority vote over Wade vs Roe.

“A judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policymakers, and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold.” Barret said. Barrett's advocates ask her so much about her involvement in People of praise. People of Praise was founded in south bend Indiana, being part of the Catholic Pentecostal, being counterculture to the movements from the 1960s and ’50s. Many of the groups from Notre Dame law school are happy for Amy Barret for being in the supreme court of justice.

Joseph Saltarelli tweets:

“In 2006, she gave a commencement speech at Notre Dame law school in which she told the graduates ‘Always keep in mind that you're legal career is but a means to an end, and...that end is building to the kingdom of God.’”
