One of the most important things I ever learned: "Most people, most of the time, believe most of what they mostly believe because they mostly Like the Teacher." No one completely escapes the gravitational pull of their own childhood.

If the husband in "People of Praise" is the boss of the wife, shouldn't Barrett's husband be on the hot seat being questioned?

[ohms]

Amy Coney Barrett sure has a way of not answering questions. And remember very intelligent people get involved in cults.

How much did it cost to tax-payers for 278 visits to golf course which Trump took since inauguration?


141 millions!

Opus Dei is the name of one organization, it's a Catholic thing. Barr's a member of the same group. It's a very old organisation.

Do Americans use their taxes for wars and bailouts, instead of helping each other ?

[jenwendy]

This guy hit the nail on the head. I've been wondering when they were going to bring this up. It's serious!!!

[mrentertainer]

Barrett has reportedly claimed that the nomination is a means to an end for her religious cult aspirations!

[danmarquez]

It is so hard to tell when judicial candidates hide their opinions under the protection of some judicial code of ethics. That code is a huge problem.

[susanbloodgood]

She can’t answer simple Yes or No questions ?!?!?!?

[lauraoverstreet]

Love your show! Are you aware that Amy C. Barrett was one of the judges who ruled in favour of George W. Bush's legal battle with Gore?!?!

[LendallPitts]

I worked fora multidisciplinary (psychology, anthropology, social work) study at UCLA on cults, and I very much agree with what Thom's guest says. Cults do rip out a big piece of their members and attempt to replace it with obedience to the cult and its leaders.

[JayCWhiteCloud]

No she isn't and thank God she has been confirmed!!!

[shadowdance]

All religions are cults.
The big ones get labeled as religions

[MrSidney]

No doubt in my mind she's involved in a cult. Something like Stepford Wives meets A Handmaids Tale. Read some chilling articles from former members as well.

Is it true that UK healthcare system is better than USA?

Where does USA ranks for healthcare system ?

[ronald]

That certainly would explain the weird way she stares into the camera as if she is some sort of drone. Although it might just be the result of the strain she puts on her self to stay focused in an effort to prevent to give her real intentions away by accident.

I was married as a teenager. I was religious and not in a cult I thought. These old timers. Who had been religious all their lives, I wanted to be like them. I never thought it was, I was trying to be a best person.

[darkdan]

In reality if trump takes his presidential loss to the court 3 justices should be recused...

[livondiramerian]

Our actions should be based on love, compassion, kindness, empathy, tolerance, forgiveness, & humanness.
