Libertarians over at Reason aren't listening to arta and Applebaum, they looked into one of the favorites and they like the way she looks on cops and immunity:

This case is an encouraging sign that Amy Coney Barrett — reportedly the leading contender to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court — is not the sort of judge who bends over backward to shield cops from liability for outrageous misconduct.https://t.co/aHDUarWLoI

Nate Silver:

Yeah, it's pretty clear that Republicans are trying to bait Democrats into a fight over Barrett/Lagoa's personal qualities, because a fight over Roe and the ACA being repealed likely ends badly for them. https://t.co/0XxvtatAWn

Are Democrats likely to take that bait?

I mean ... maybe. They are likely to feel very ... impassioned.

There's sort of the blue-checkmark-crew-that-likes-to-post-videos-of-Trump-awkwardly-walking-down-the-staircase that might bite a bit.

But it's pretty obvious bait.

money quote:

Why? Fixating on the Court organizes the electorate along two fronts of a culture war, and forces people to make stark ideological choices. Instead of focusing voters on the president’s failure to control COVID-19 or the consequent economic collapse, the culture war makes voters think only of their deepest tribal identities
