Today is a GREAT day.

You know why? Because a highly intelligent, competent, intellectual, successful and capable woman has reached the apex of her accomplishments. Every woman who wants to empower her fellow womankind should be applauding the auspicious occasion that occurred today: the confirmation and swearing in of Judge Amy Coney Barrett as the 5th woman to become a Supreme Court Justice. What is sad and disparaging is that the woman is being torn down instead of built up, the event disallowed instead of legitimized. If you think for one moment that this accomplished woman is not going to follow the rule of law, as well as the Constitution, you need to step back and use your critical thinking skills. If you view this appointment and confirmation as an underhanded, illegitimate attempt to purposefully erode rights, I truly feel sorry for you. Partisanship exists in some respects on both sides of the aisle. Deranged, doomsday thinking does no one any good, least of all the person who is choosing to believe that the world is literally coming to an end. Amy Coney Barrett has said time and time again that she will do nothing but follow the rule of law. She is part of a group of 9 justices who have sworn to do so. She doesn’t have a personal agenda against anyone. She is a professional, and she has not come this far in her career by being anything but that.
