Barrett got the nomination because Trump is trying to pander to (
white) suburban women for Republicans. She is a huge ideologue, and could go out there and say some outright egregious and obscene things about law in this hearing. Understandably, the GOP will push a nominee through no matter how ghoulish they might be. I'm like,
"On one hand, Barrett could be Bork, Kavanaugh, and Thomas hearing insanity rolled into one person, and the GOP would still probably push her through...
Then again, she's a woman, and if there's one thing that's proven true in politics is that women are still, for whatever stupid reason, held to a higher standard then men. It's not fair, but the ingrained misogyny in the GOP Senate could end up making them unable to commit to the third rail if she's that incompetent. They bailed on W on Harriet Myers, after all..."
Then I'm like, this is the end game. They're pushing her through.
