    But for sure if my house burns down or something I'd hate that. I don't blame people for hating 2020 and I get why everyone does, but I can't help enjoying it.

    Same here.

    What Trump Pick Amy Coney Barrett Could Mean for Future of the Supreme Court

    Judge’s legal approach is to look at what constitutional language meant when adopted and zero in on the text of legislation, rather than interpret lawmakers’ purpose

    By Jess Bravin, Brent Kendall and Jacob Gershman September 26, 2020, 5:19 p.m. EDT


    If confirmed to the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett could culminate a decadeslong quest to ensure a conservative imprint on American law, affecting the role of government, the rights of individuals and the interpretation of such long-debated constitutional terms as equal protection, due process of law and cruel and unusual punishment.

    Most Supreme Court appointees since 1969—15 of 19—were nominated by Republicans, but conservatives have fallen short of fully displacing numerous progressive legal doctrines that took hold in the 1930s and flowered in the 1950s and ’60s under Chief Justice Earl Warren. Since that era, liberals have largely maintained a durable minority of four votes, slowing the court’s move to the right and sporadically able to secure 5-4 victories when a single conservative’s views overlapped their own.

    The death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave conservatives an opportunity to cement their dominance. Judge Barrett, whom President Trump picked to fill the vacancy on Saturday, appears tailor-made for a mission many conservatives hope will redefine constitutional interpretation.

    Here, this may work - I found the link using the Google News workaround:

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-tr...rt-11601155192

    Edit - I guess not. Search for the article title using Google and the News filter, and you should be able to directly navigate to the article.

    Not trying to be a dick but honest question. Doesn't posting the link to the source square with the copyright?

    Good question. @LittleLebowski, can you clarify?
