Trump is expected to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court
The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit justice is a favorite of the religious right.

Amy Coney Barrett is anti-abortion, anti-gun control, anti-health care, and even seems to oppose same-sex marriage. She could sit on SCOTUS for 40 years. Hope those Jill Stein protest votes were worth it.

If Amy Coney Barrett is conformed, she will eliminate the Affordable Care Act in the middle of a pandemic, restrict abortion rights if not overturn Roe v Wade, and strike down gun control laws.
Shout out to Dianne Feinstein, whose incompetence elevated Amy Coney Barrett from obscure judicial nominee to Christian right celebrity and likely SCOTUS justice.

Smart piece by @imillhiser warning his fellow liberals not to repeat the mistakes of ACB's 2017 circuit-court confirmation. Judging by the vile adoption tweets, etc., I'm afraid he'll be proved a Cassandra.
