while true, it's also a desperate and transparent deflection attempt, kellyanne, and on top of that hilariously hypocritical coming from a trump supporter.
it also doesn't address, let alone refute my point about acb being a guardian of the swamp, a corporatist judge representing the exact opposite of what rbg stood for.
she will formalise and reinforce the right's attack on women and minorities (which is why you people love her ofc), but more importantly, she will strengthen the oligarchical structure of america's lawmaking to protect corporations from the working class - something you people at least pretended to oppose when trump ran on a populist message...
It's simply a lie that she is a a consistent pro-corporate judge.

“[Barrett is] clearly near the right side of the conservative spectrum on the [7th Circuit Court of Appeals] [...]She’s not off the charts, though — she’s in line with other well-known, well-respected conservative judges on the court.”
But there are some differences between Barrett and her current conservative colleagues. Fischman and Cope also dug into how judges ruled on various types of issues and found that Barrett is closer to the middle of the court on cases involving employment discrimination, labor and criminal defendants, but much more conservative in cases involving civil rights — a category that is mainly composed of cases involving prisoners’ rights and civil rights claims against government employees, but also includes hot-button issues like gun rights, voting rights and abortion rights.
So no, ACB is not anti-worker or pro-corporate, she is against the leftward-lurching and ever-expanding interpretaion of civil rights by liberals. And this is exactly why she triggers liberals so much - she would be a reliable roadblock for their attempts at legislating from the benches.
