Political involvement should be a requirement for citizenship

SCOTUS Nominee Amy Coney Barrett in her own words makes it clear she’s a danger to most Americans

By 1 Comment

Make no mistake, Amy Coney Barrett is not ashamed to make her positions clear, if not explicitly, implicitly, and she is a danger to most.

The meek-looking Amy Coney Barrett is dangerous

Senator Dick Durbin made the direction of his questioning clear. It was about voting rights. This should have been a softball. In fact, he even queued it up if a perfect example. Amy Coney Barrett could not even get that one right.

Durbin pointed out that Republicans modus operandi of voter suppression was in full vogue. He gave the Harris Country Texas example where over 4 million Texans were only allowed to deposit their vote in one dropbox. The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, is allowing one dropbox per county irrespective of country size. Now Republicans are suing to stop drive-through ballot drop offs.

But the coup de grace in this exchange sadly is when Durbin pointed out that Barret said that while it is OK that felons cannot vote, constitutionally, they cannot be denied a gun. What this means is simple. Barrett is willing to allow states to engage in voter suppression selectively.

The Supreme Court chipped away at voting rights protections. And Barrett, on the Supreme Court given her past opinions as illustrated in this video, clarifies she is not much different from the man who nominated her.

Since you made it here …

… we have a small favor to ask. We have a lot of people reading our Progressive leaning fact-based blog posts and thousands listen to our Politics Done Right radio/multimedia program. We want to keep our reporting, blogging, and the featuring of Progressive politicians, activists, and everyday citizens that do not normally get coverage.

In that light, we developed our 10-point plan on how we will be an activist interactive publication for not just talking, not just being keyboard warriors, but empowering all to engage in whatever manner they can.

But we need your support to help us realize the venture. Please consider either subscribing to our network or contributing what you can. Even $1 goes a long way.

    So, currently, we have a major pandemic that remains, essentially unchecked. We have a major series of attacks designed to further destabilize a major government that usually leads remediation efforts and now even more attacks against it.
    I say that we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
    Or to be certain, Andromeda, prepare nova bomb sequence, code lexic dark-343. Launch.
