Democratic senators are already claiming they will not meet with Amy Coney Barrett as her nomination moves to the Senate floor next month, claiming her 'extreme' views are not suited for the Supreme Court.

'I will not meet with Judge Amy Coney Barrett,' Senator Kirsten Gillibrand asserted in a tweet Sunday afternoon. 'This nomination process is illegitimate.'

The New York Democrat added: 'I refuse to participate in the further degradation of our democracy and our judiciary.'

Shocking Never Saw This One Coming From Standford (Because this is a Law Professor language alert is required)

Stanford prof inanely attacks Harvard prof for praising Amy Barrett

Liberal Harvard law professor Noah Feldman probably expected plenty of abuse from the left for writing a glowing assessment of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. However, I’m not sure he expected anything quite like this nasty tweet storm from a Stanford law professor.

Steve has noted one passage from professor Michele Dauber’s rant — her reference to Feldman as a “worthless shitty white man.” Dauber also claimed that Feldman was unqualified to clerk on the Supreme Court because, while in that job, he sought guidance from fellow clerks Barrett and Jenny Martinez, now the dean of Stanford Law School, on complicated issues before the Court. Dauber translated this to mean:

Quote

I am stupid and get women to do my homework for me. Yet because of my white penis I had a job I apparently admit I did not deserve.

“White penis”? What combination of alcohol and psychological disorders caused Dauber to include that phrase?
