As I'll lay out in detail, she has broadcast clearly that her views onrespecting precedent which is afancy way of saying going backand overturning long-settledcases are more in line withJustice Thomas, putting her atthe absolute far right end ofthe Supreme Court, moreconservative even than JusticeScalia. This doesn't just affect theAffordable Care Act although that's important in the middle of a pandemic.This may affect reproductive rights, it may affect individual liberties, it may affect immigration law and long settled issues in criminal law and criminal justice that your averageAmerican doesn't think is atstake in this confirmationhearing.I understand that for millions ofAmericans, they have morepressing concerns than listeningto this confirmation hearing,but I think they should payattention to the ways in whichJudge Barrett has views soextreme as to make herunqualified to serve on theSupreme Court.
