69 percent would like to write about Apple Orchards...That Guy was a jerk, but compared to an otherwise very intelligent alcoholic man (no! do you not remember how cold-hearted he was about the woman who was assaulted in his bad neighborhood, ugh) who made a gross violater move and then tried to make up for it by making a smooth move which just never ever did make up for the gross violator move, not even by 10%, do you suppose there's still  some merit or not really so much,  hmmm...

"Barrett voted to overturn a district court ruling that found a county in Wisconsin 'liable for millions in damages to a woman who alleged she had been repeatedly raped by a jail guard.'”

"'After a 19-year old pregnant prison inmate was repeatedly raped by a prison guard, Amy Coney Barrett ruled that the county responsible for the prison could not be held liable because the sexual assaults fell outside of the guard's official duties. Her judgment demonstrates a level of unconscionable cruelty that has no place on the high court,' Kyle Herrig, president of the watchdog group Accountable.US, told Salon."
