The Democrats had one last trick up their sleeves to stop Judge Barrett’s confirmation.
But they never even got a chance to use it.
Chuck Schumer’s plan to destroy Amy Coney Barrett got crushed in a single moment.
Currently the Democrats are trying to claim that they are only against Amy Coney Barrett because she could cause Americans to lose healthcare, which is a ridiculous argument to make.
The fact that Democrats failed to land a single substantive attack against either her or her record shows what an amazing person she is.
President Trump couldn’t have nominated a better judge.
Even Senator Mitt Romney is supporting her confirmation.
“After meeting with Judge Barrett and carefully reviewing her record and her testimony, I intend to vote in favor of her confirmation to the Supreme Court. She is impressive, and her distinguished legal and academic credentials make it clear that she is exceptionally well qualified to serve as our next Supreme Court justice. I am confident that she will faithfully apply the law and our Constitution, impartially and regardless of policy preferences,” said Romney in a statement in mid-October.
But Democrats don’t want a judge that will faithfully uphold the Constitution, they want a judge that will green light their socialist agenda.
The Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, were planning on trying to derail a Senate Judiciary Committee vote approving Judge Barrett’s confirmation by boycotting the meeting.
However, Republicans destroyed Schumer’s plan when they moved up the vote to 9am.
“Typically, a Democrat boycott might have forced the Judiciary Committee out of session, since it prevented the formation of a quorum, but Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-CA) allowed for a last-minute rule change, giving Republicans the power to pass Barrett out of committee on a simple majority vote.” The Daily Wire reported.
Instead of showing up to the vote, Democrats left large photos of the people who might be hurt if Barrett makes the unlikely vote to completely eliminate the Affordable Care Act.
Schumer was left scrambling to respond to the Republicans’ early vote.
“Democrats will not lend a single ounce of legitimacy to this sham vote in the judiciary,” Schumer said at his hastily pulled together presser on the Capitol steps.
“The nomination of Amy Coney Barrett is the most illegitimate process I have ever witnessed in the Senate, and her potential confirmation will have dire, dire consequences for the Senate for the Supreme Court and our entire country for generations to come,” Schumer, who has been working to roadblock Barrett’s nomination for the last week, added. “The Senate Republican majority is conducting the most rushed, the most partisan, and the least legitimate nomination to the Supreme Court in our nation’s history.”
The nomination of Judge Barrett is completely legitimate and follows every rule that the Constitution lays down.
Democrats are just terrified that the Supreme Court being conservative will place limits on the power of the federal government.
