A SCOTUS Opening

There are reports from former members [url= https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/10/people-of-praise-amy-coney-barrett-faith-group]such as this[/url] that claim the group expected her to speak in tongues and, when she failed to do so, blamed her inability to do so on her sins. They have a recent history of belief in exorcisms, prophecy, expecting their members to take in people and work for the group free of charge and instilling a sense of obedience into the women from a very young age.

I grant that this may just be a scorned former member situation, but doesn't that sound like a cult to you? And doesn't it also sound like something that the government wouldn't do anything about even if true? At the very least, it should be viewed with skepticism when discussing the confirmation of a lifetime role for a judge who can meaningfully affect millions of people's lives with her opinions.

As the article states:

Yes, while unproven, those are real world examples you can point to as to possibly something ACB believes. Still doesn't mean you can be sexist towards her.
