U.S. Supreme Court Justice

The Resume

    (January 28, 1972- )
    Born in New Orleans, Louisiana
    Judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals
    Controversially nominated to the Supreme Court by Donald Trump following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (September 26, 2020)
    Confirmed to the Supreme Court by a mostly party line vote of 52-48 (October 26, 2020)

Why she might be annoying:

    She was nominated for the Supreme Court less than 40 days before Election Day, much to the delight of conservatives.
    4 years earlier, many of these same conservatives stated it was too close to an election to even have a hearing for Merrick Garland...8 months before Election Day.
    She argued that political opposites should not be appointed to replace a justice on the Supreme Court (when Garland might have replaced conservative Antonin Scalia).
    Despite that argument, she didn't turn down Trump's nomination to replace the notoriously liberal Ginsburg.
    As with any Supreme Court nominee, the main thing many cared about was whether or not her vote on the court would be used to overturn Roe v. Wade.
    There was also a high expectation among conservatives that her vote would critical in dismantling the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She earned her law degree at Notre Dame, later becoming a professor there.
    She won the Professor of the Year Award three times at Notre Dame.
    She clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia.
    She claimed her strong Catholic faith and views would 'not bear in the discharge of (her) duties as judge'.
    She also stated that a judge's primary focus should be upholding the Constitution.
    The controversy surrounding the timing of her nomination to the Supreme Court perhaps had very little to do with her as a person, and a lot more to do with just another reason why the year 2020 was an absolute shit show.
