Whenever Justice Amy Coney Barrett arrived at an auditorium or a library or a university last month to discuss her new book, she encountered a familiar sight: protesters.
They lined the streets, chanting and carrying signs. One wore a handmaid’s costume, a symbol of oppression. Another was dressed as liberal icon Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose death in 2020 created a vacancy on the Supreme Court that President Trump would fill with Barrett.
For Barrett, protesters have become routine, another logistical wrinkle in her everyday life, much like the ones who regularly gather at her home outside Washington, D.C., where she lives with her husband and younger children. What surprises her, she told me in a wide-ranging interview in her chambers late last month, is how she can let it roll off her back.
Of course she is not afraid. She is with MAGA. She does the devil’s bidding. We are afraid of her. Not the other way.
Not afraid, yet…
Everyone talks tough until the bullets start whizzing.
The violence against people in positions of power is a form of self-correction. We need to simply let it happen. The Supreme Court, the executive branch, these are not celebrities or dictators. They are public servants, put in place to fulfill the will of the people.
We’ve strayed so far off script that we’ve lost sight of the plot.
Throughout history, the violent overthrow of corrupt governments has been a time-honored human tradition, one that, from time to time, feeds the tree of liberty.
Wild, if protests against you have become a daily part of your life wake the fuck up.
Meh.
The fascists would protest my ironfisted but completely based rule before I order the vanguard to open fire.
Of course she’s not, she’s a darling of the Fascists at least until the eat professional women as well.
Another person willing to support the regime that hates her
Of course she’s not, because the opposition is chiefly concerned with being totally non-threatening.
CBS News chose to run a special interest story about a servant of fascism at this moment. This story idea certainly didn’t originate with them, but they were willing participants.
CBS was bought out recently and is now run by a fascist (David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison of Oracle), so that’s probably why.
Who was the story about? I can’t find any info on it from searching.
Christofascists twat. Will go down as one of the worst courts in history. These people are overturning settled law left and right and letting trump position his regime for dictatorship. The court has lost all credibility and is a fucking joke. Hopefully one day she won’t be able to let it roll off her back and will face consequences for her actions.
The Roberts court just might go down as the worst - and perhaps last - US Supreme Court in history.
It seems to have started with McConnell cheating Obama out of appointments, then we got Citizens United, a couple unfortunately timed deaths, and what were witnessing now is the result. History won’t be kind to this court and it shouldn’t, many rightfully view it as illegitimate.
