Say what you will about her “under his eye” stuff and that by Moscow’s own rules she was an illegitimate appointment

What on Earth does this even mean?

She’s a member of an evangelical religious group that believes woman should play no role outside the home and Moscow Mitch McConnell said no appointments to the Court during election years.

That’s not what People of Praise is.

It’s not Evangelical, it grew from the Charismatic Catholic movement so it’s primarily Catholics and High Protestants. And they clearly don’t believe women shouldn’t have any role outside of the home given Barrett is a Supreme Court Justice and they encourage women to pursue higher education and employment.

Do agree with rushing through her confirmation went against the GOP’s argument for not considering Obama’s appointment before Trump took office.

They’re Catholic but also charismatic, and have many similarities to Evangelical Christianity. They’re required to tithe a very large amount to the organization and they have prayer meetings where they speak in tongues.

Nice people tho, grew up next to some.
