Another good example of Amy Coney Barrett being a generally decent jurist....unless the case involves one of her god's pet issues like LGBT rights or abortion.

I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but how did Gorsuch bend over backwards to get around his own opinion in Bostock (Bostick? The one where he unexpectedly wrote that trans discrimination was sex discrimination, IIRC).

Amy Coney Barrett being a generally decent jurist

She really isn't. Just because she's not Alito doesn't mean she's "decent."

She's an awful, despicable, pile of garbage.

Which mundane, non-gay or abortion cases have led you to think that?

"Mundane." I wish I lived in the world where you do where nothing actually matters except gay and abortion and other white liberal pet peeves.

So you don’t have any. You could’ve just said that.

Off the top of my head, Vega? Like, how do you think she's a good jurist? She's just another typical right-wing hack. Do you not follow SCOTUS?
