U. S. Supreme Court

September 2020 - A New Justice has been nominated.  Many are concerned about the Confirmation process for the new Associate Justice.  I have studied this situation and recall with great clarity the process concerning the Approval of a Chief Justice back in 1969.  Warren Burger was nominated and his Confirmation Hearing started on 23 May 1969.  The U. S. Senate Confirmed Warren Burger as the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court on 9 June 1969.  It did not take long for this confirmation and this was for the Chief Justice.  However I must also suggest that our U. S. Senate most likely had more Senators who we would consider "Statesmen" and "Stateswomen" than we do today,  As I conducted a review of this title I learned: 

 A Female or Male political leader regarded as a disinterested promoter of the public good.

Unfortunately I think we have far too many Senators who do not fit this definition. 

Now regarding the current nominee for an Associate Justice,  Amy Coney Barrett I quote this article by Gerard M. Nadal:
September 26 at 10:47 PM
 
Some of the attacks already in circulation:
"A mother of seven cannot raise her family AND serve well on the Supreme Court."
Well, if the Dems press home that attack they will have gutted 55 years of the Feminist Gospel, and made the case for stay-at-home mothers. We would need to take stock of all the Democrat legislators and judges in the country with children and suggest that they take their leave--for the good of their children.
"She's Catholic. Really, REALLY Catholic," says Bill Maher.
Well, Biden and Pelosi have styled themselves as "Devout Catholics." That means Barrett's practice of her faith, when juxtaposed with Biden and Pelosi's, reveals the latter two as scam artists. Or else it says that only Democrats can be devout Catholics and serve in office.
"She had no business adopting kids from Haiti."
Why? Pro-abort Dems have been telling us for years that the true measure of authentic pro-life is to care for babies AFTER they are born as well as before---by adopting.
"She is part of a Pentecostal cult in the Catholic Church that talk in tongues."
Attention all black, Democrat Pentecostals. Your party just rendered a verdict on your faith.
"She considers herself a "handmaiden'."
Yes, a la the Blessed Mother in her surrender to God. But look at who's going to be sitting on the highest court in the land, and not her husband.
No, friends. They can't possibly turn her positives into negatives without losing the independent voters and more blacks in the election mere days away from the hearings. They will have to tackle her on the merits, and therein lies the problem.
They lack the intellect to try and convince the American people that her time on the bench has been radical and dangerous. She is everything most Americans would love for their daughters to become: Faithful, family-oriented, educated, sharp, loving, and successful.
The best strategy for the Dems and Team Biden would be collegiality on this one, using sincerity as a tactic to not alienate voters. Concede defeat, scream about Trump and overreach and hope it gins up the base.
That's the best they can hope for."

As a proud citizen of these United States of America I concur with Mr. Naadal's comment. It is my suggestion that as our Senate starts the Confirmation Hearings that they remember that they are Stateswomen and Statesmen elected to serve us, "We The People" for the Public Good of Us All. Thank You!!!!
