I’ve just watched an interview on Sunday Morning with Amy Coney Barrett. I am a trained counselor who has spent thousands of hours listening to patients justify their actions. We justify in order to hang onto our beliefs about ourselves. In other words, if I’m a good daughter, I won’t yell at mama. So, if I do yell at mama, I have to produce a justification. Particularly mean people spend a lot of time justifying themselves. You’ll find it by the boatload with domestic abusers. They must find a way to show the world that they are good people, so they spend most of their time telling the world how it was the victim’s actions that forced them to act cruelly.
That’s what Amy Coney Barrett is doing. She has seen the results of her vote regarding Dobbs and she needs to tell us why, because she is a good person. Her entire book is dedicated to self justification. The truth is she unleashed the dogs. As a self proclaimed defender of women, she has instead become a part of the legions of humans who harm women.
Of course, it’s not her fault. She was returning a piece of legislation to the states. So she says. Again, she unleashed the wolves.
I’m exhausted with human posturing. Amy Coney Barrett you are the same as this: I’m a good person, I just had to sell drugs to survive.
She has a lot to justify, she has harmed America’s women more than can be counted.
Dobbs: “those are issues inherent in medical practice” The courts say “those calls are left to the democratic process”, again she unleashed the dogs. May the pain and anguish of a million women follow the Supreme Court to their graves.
The other question she didn’t answer this morning is her thoughts about the judicial branch being a check on the executive branch. She denies this simple fact, stating that it’s not up to her to monitor the presidency.
Regarding Trump overreaching the office of the president with illegal tariffs: “ it’s not our job to survey and decide whether the current occupant… in this particular moment to form a political view” That’s the job of journalists that’s the job of other politicians and the people.” It sounds like the tagline for this entire Supreme Court.
Excuse me, if what you say is correct, then the teachings of the entire national American school system, is wrong. The judicial and legislative branch are designed to be a check on the Executive branch and Ms. Barrett, you are not doing your job.
