Amy Coney Barrett becomes an unlikely hate figure for MAGA World

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is the target of new ire from President Trump’s most fervent supporters after she bucked his position on a key case earlier this week.

Barrett joined — albeit only in part — a dissenting opinion penned by liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Monday. The case revolves around the highly controversial claim from the Trump administration that it is entitled to deport Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The debate within the high court revolved around what the correct location was for the case being made on behalf of some of the detainees.

Regardless of the finer points of the legal arguments, the mere fact of Barrett’s position was enough to elicit vocal dismay from Trump loyalists.

1. She is not playing her part the way she is supposed to play it.

She is exhibiting some independent thought, which is forbidden by the Trump and his Cult.

2. Unlikely? Not at all.

The moment one of their own even strays a LITTLE from the CULT mantra, they become a hate figure.

Especially when they were installed to be a LACKEY in the first place.

3. The Constitutional system of checks and balances works best when one branch isn't installing lackeys in another.

Or so they say. You don't hear conservatives talk about these checks and balances very much. Trump never thinks he is being checked, only treated very unfairly. How are we to differentiate between the two?

8. As Malcolm X said,

when the puppet talks back to the puppeteer, the puppeteer is in trouble.

A hell that you helped ignite.

albeit of the liberal sort, I think I can read this woman. She is a deeply conservative Catholic. However this can, believe it or not, convert into benign decisions in some contexts. I couldn’t, for example, see her having truck with anything that subverts the two term rule.
Her Irish name, Barrett, would also suggest, some Democratic DNA (I am Irish).

9. Just an aside...

I'm surprised she's not wearing a *teal Supreme Courst Justice's robe.

10. Nothing new. Maga has hated her for years now

To a somewhat lesser extent, they also hate Kavanaugh.
