Didn’t one senator say ACB was the only person he’d vote to confirm bc of her strong anti abortion stance?
Conservatives have a program that for decades has vetted judges to get them on the court and overturn Roe. They have the votes to do it.

    We have chosen to rely on male leadership at the highest level of our community based on our desire to be a family of families," Connolly said. "We follow the New Testament teaching that the husband is the head of the family, and we have patterned our community on this New Testament approach to family life."

    Connolly added that women "take on a variety of leadership roles within People of Praise, including serving as heads of several of our schools and directing ministries within our community."

    1. It’s a choice she thinks is is best for her and her family
    2. Women play a huge part including leadership positions
    3. I can almost assure you the male leadership isn’t a dictatorship nor are the women devalued. It’s simply part of their Christian identity and how they choose to publicly organize their families.
    4. Can you point to any reason it’s dangerous or is a harmful? 50% of families blow up and have nothing to do with this
    5. A women deferring to her husband in this way doesn’t necessarily diminish her power or make he any less of a person. This Amy Barrett is extremely accomplished as exhibit A.

    This is a mischaracterization of what the group she belongs to teaches.

    From one article

    “The group is said to teach that husbands are the heads of their wives and should take authority over the family.”

    I can’t see anything confirming your quoted statement.

    Here is their site, no mention of this male head of family stuff. But this isn’t anything new. Many Christian families are similar to this.

    I don’t know. Seems like a small thing to get worried over.

    Also, even outside of religion, is the notion that a woman who defers to a man is bad? In all of my dating, and with my girlfriend now who is far more liberal than myself, they preferred that I led, took initiative, and deferred to me for most decisions. Not sure why that’s a negative if it’s the preference of the woman.
    Pro tip - I've been married 23 years - if you think you're making the decisions I have news for you. Your GF is letting you make the decisions she wants. That's just the way it is, some things will never change*.

    How much of a choice are they really making? Did they grow up being told a woman should defer to her husband?

    A kid that grows up in poverty that ends up in poverty himself...did he chose poverty?

    Does a muslim women choose to cover her head and not drive a car?

    Yay.

    Thing is there’s no coherent message to them.

    One is “Did you know Amy McGrath was a fighter pilot?”

    The next is “did you know Mitch has been in office 36 years?”

    Then “Amy wants healthcare because she has kids”

    Followed by “Amy McGrath will fight to end the wage gap” (??)

    And finally “I’m voting for Trump and Amy”


    Literally throwing (expensive) shit against the wall

    You're saying the comm director mischaracterized the group?
    “Their community”

    Unless I am misreading your posts, you are saying she believes males should be in all leadership roles.

    Has she ever stated a woman can’t be a leader or president even?

    I think you are making too much of this.

    Amd, no one has ever said she’s not qualified

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...out-her-faith/

    This covers some about her faith.

    It’s fun to speculate but there should be some real proof before you crown something the boogeyman and are afraid.

    Zero reason to believe marrying her husband and having 7 kids wasn’t her choice.

    Christians leave their faith all the time.

    Prospective Supreme Court nominee puts spotlight on People of Praise

    https://www.ncronline.org/news/peopl...-people-praise

    Barrett's membership in People of Praise — which she did not disclose on her questionnaire for the Senate Judiciary Committee — was not discussed during her confirmation hearings for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago last September.

    Current members are reluctant to talk to the media, but those who have left People of Praise often cite the strict control over everyday life in the group and their experiences of being shunned when they question leaders' decisions or leave.

    A blog created by an anonymous ex-member in 2008 includes critical comments by adult children of People of Praise members who no longer belong to the movement. While admitting that members can be "some of the nicest and most morally good people I've known," these ex-members describe an authoritarian atmosphere in which all of one's life decisions — career, marriage, where to live and more — are controlled by the leaders or "heads."

    Recruitment through evangelization is stressed and leaving the group is strongly discouraged. Those who disagree with leaders have been told they are influenced by Satan and those who leave are "quitters," say ex-members on that blog as well as in a Facebook group called "Covenant Community: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."

    Other former members of covenanted communities — including some on the ex-members' Facebook group — also would like Barrett to address her involvement in the group, which they see as different than having to defend her Catholicism, as she was asked to in last year’s hearings.


    If it walks and quacks like a cult...

    I see statements that they (she) made a choice to do one thing with how she lives her life and you being concerned she will think 1. This is the right choice for everyone amd she’ll work to make it so and 2. About everything, not just her family and community choice

    One is “Did you know Amy McGrath was a fighter pilot?”

    The next is “did you know Mitch has been in office 36 years?”

    Then “Amy wants healthcare because she has kids”

    Followed by “Amy McGrath will fight to end the wage gap” (??)

    And finally “I’m voting for Trump and Amy”


    Literally throwing (expensive) shit against the wall
    Actually all of those are valid issues and you can bet they've been poll tested.

    I think you are making too much of this.

    Amd, no one has ever said she’s not qualified

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...out-her-faith/

    This covers some about her faith.
    You are in complete denial that there isn't a streak of Christianity the is very very paternalistic.

    I haven't seen the McGrath ads, but I've seen about 4 different Mitch ones. Surprised he's even bothering running ads.

    Well when you’re married and basically half of your livelihood and your kids can disappear on a whim, I’m sure it changes the game. It’s why the way we do marriage now is so utterly fucked. But I’m glad you know so much about my relationship because of the situation you find yourself in.

    Some Black Americans Buying Guns: 'I'd Rather Go To Trial Than Go To The Cemetery'
    https://www.npr.org/2020/09/27/91164...o-the-cemetery

    Quote:
    "I just feel like in my viewpoint, every Black person in America, especially Black males, needs to have some type of protection with them as often as [they] can, because I think the political climate [is] getting to the point where it's just going to be a lot of violence coming our way," Tomlin said. "I just feel safer now having a gun. And I didn't always feel that way. I've never been the world's biggest fan of guns, but I just don't feel safe without one."

    One of these is not like the other. Also, seems like an implication that women struggle to think for themselves or couldn’t possibly make up her own mind to put trust in the person she’s with.

    Also, even outside of religion, is the notion that a woman who defers to a man is bad? In all of my dating, and with my girlfriend now who is far more liberal than myself, they preferred that I led, took initiative, and deferred to me for most decisions. Not sure why that’s a negative if it’s the preference of the woman.
    This post is very Gonzo
