Amy Comey Barrett has a mixed family, that spelled disaster. Why anyone with one ounce of gray matter would ever think she would side with the Conservatives on the Court. And so it happened, not once but twice, in major decisions that proved her overt credentials as a rouge justice, just like Roberts.
MAGA world is incensed after Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justice Amy Comey Barrett sided with the liberal justices—and even wrote the majority opinion—rejecting the Trump administration’s attempt to gut mail-in voting.
The court on Monday ruled to uphold a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted up to five days after the election, so long as they were postmarked by Election Day. The decision effectively saves similar grace periods around the country, especially in big Democratic states. That was enough to set off Republicans.
“A shockingly wrong opinion,” wrote Republican Senator Eric Schmitt. “Justice Barrett joins with the liberal justices to hold that federal election law does not preempt states who allow late mail-in ballots to be counted. This is terrible for election integrity. Another reason we must pass the full SAVE American [sic] Act.”
“Remember Election Day?” said GOP Representative Abe Hamadeh. “This disastrous SCOTUS decision, authored by Justice Barrett, guarantees we’ll keep drifting away from it—as our sacred elections get bogged down by endless mail-in ballots and never-ending counts.”
Trump supporters outside of Congress made their discontent clear, as well.
KEEP IN MIND THAT NOT ONE REPUBLICAN EVER WON A RACE WITH THE MAIL IN VOTES COUNTED AFTER ELECTION NIGHT. THEY WERE AHEAD WHEN IN PERSON VOTING WAS TABULATED.
But the worse was yet to come.
Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship on constitutional grounds

In a sharp rebuke to President Trump, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Constitution guarantees automatic birthright citizenship to virtually all children born in the United States.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the court’s 6-3 opinion, citing both the colonists’ demands for the “rights of Englishmen” as well as the abolitionists lauding of the “ancient and universal” rule of citizenship by birth alone.
“Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land,'” Roberts wrote. “We keep that promise today.”
