Barrett was picked because she's a she, and the republican party wanted to polish up it's image with women voters by appointing a she. Trump was coerced into picking her. She was not a merit based pick, and Trump himself is quoted as stating (prior to announcing Barret) that he wasn't sure who his next SCOTUS pick would be, but "it's going to be woman." Party image over merit- this is what we earn for having the traitorous "republican" party as allies.
What a disappointment Amy Coney Barrett has been... her double last name should have clued me in that she was a fake conservative-

She was picked for her stance on Roe v Wade.
