Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Amy Barret Political Positions?

What are Amy Barret's political positions, other than generally being conservative? Any one know her position as to the Second Amendment? Please, just the known facts. No guesses. Thanks!

I’m sure they’re all better than Ginsburg’s were.

She is definitely pro-life and I believe that she is pro second amendment. She is a strict constitutionalist.

It seems she has not ruled directly regarding the 2A. This is from Wikipedia:
F
Second Amendment
Kanter v. Barr, 919 F.3d 437 (7th Cir. 2019).[57] Barrett wrote a lengthy dissent in favor of gun-ownership rights. The plaintiff was convicted of mail fraud for submitting bills to Medicare for reimbursement for non-compliant therapeutic shoe inserts. Due to his felony conviction, he was not allowed to legally possess a firearm. He challenged this denial and the majority upheld the felony dispossession statutes as "substantially related to an important government interest in preventing gun violence."[57] Barrett dissented, stating that while the government has a legitimate interest in denying gun possession to felons convicted of violent crimes, there is no evidence that denying guns to non-violent felons promotes this interest, and that denying such rights is a violation of the second amendment.[58][59] Highlighting Barrett’s historical and originalist approach, the National Review lauded Barrett’s “impressive” Kanter dissent.[60]

Does she own a gun? If not, Pres. Trump can pick somebody else, I'm tired of schitthead feral judges like Justice John Roberts. I want a gun owner who will fight FOR the 2nd Amendment, not just kinda/sorta act half-ass for gun ownership.

Yep. A preferably a MAN.

I'd take Amy over Johnny.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This any day, every day, all day.

Right now from what I read Ted Cruz is the man Donald Trump has in mind to replace her.

I’d take Ted over ALL other Nominees.

Can Ted vote for himself during confirmation? We will need every vote we can get!

Ted has already turned down the offer from Trump- preferring to make change at the legislative level by fighting the conservative fight. Judging by his demeanor since the election, I agree we need him right where he is....

I've watched Amy Barret on videos and interviews and she is a very impressive jurist. Strictly constitutional, which means she won't be making law from the bench such as RBG seemed to try to do along with the other activist justices... I think she would be a excellent pick and would possible pass much easier than Kavanaugh... I would think it would be unthinkable for the democrats to put a woman nominee through the same BS they put Kavanaugh through in the last appointment....

The biggest problem at the moment is that Mitt Romney will undoubtedly spite Trump by voting against any appointment he puts forward regardless of the qualifications. McMurtry and Collins have said they won't vote on a nominee until after the election or the inaugaration, depending on who wins the election. So, with only a 2 vote Senate majority, seating a Supreme Court justice any time soon is problematic at the moment unless McConnel can rally the votes somehow.. there is a tiny chance he has a couple democrat votes in his pocket but he isn't letting on what his game plan on except for he has promised to bring the nominee to a vote...

This is going to get ugly no matter what happens but I hope he gets it done sooner rather than later...

Ted would probably be my top choice also but I think we could do a lot worse than Barret.

I’m not aware of all of her legal stances but I do know that she has a reputation for being a strict constitutionalist. If true that’s good enough for me and is basically all that I look for in a judge. We don’t need “great legal minds” our founders wrote the constitution in simple enough terms for anyone of average intelligence to easily understand. We need judges that love the constitution and honor there oath to follow it.

I think Cruz or Barret would both be very good picks and probably second on the court only to Thomas.

Wasn't Barret the one that adopted two niglets?

Definitely moves her up on the cringe factor scale for me.

Cruz needs to stay in the Senate to help maintain the R majority. If the majority is maintained or expanded he would make a great pick should President Trump get another pick in his 2nd term. Believe Judge Thomas might step down during Trumps second term should the R Senate majority be maintained. THAT would be a great time for a Cruz appointment.

It would be hard to do better than Ted Cruz.

Correct.

Social Justice Warrior, at heart.

Sheister, I think if Trump sends up a nominee, no matter who it is, this fight will make the Kavanaugh hearings look like recess in kindergarten. It will be bad, bad, bad! But that will hurt the democrat chances in the election. I think most people are tired of their schitt show!
