The US Senate has confirmed Amy Coney Barrett to the supreme court, delivering Donald Trump a huge but partisan victory just eight days before the election and locking in rightwing domination of the nation’s highest court for years to come.
Total disrespect to the constitution!!!
Conservatives now free to criminalize abortion, ban racial preference in school admissions and elsewhere, cripple fed regulatory state, roll back voting rights, civil rights and campaign finance laws, grant even greater powers to corporations. Whether voters support it or not.
A victory if you count cheating, bribery & corruption as an acceptable method of running a government.
Taking the USA backwards, Making America Grate Again.
Another religious nutter with power
Excellent decision and appointment. Well done The Donald. 👍👍
Wait, what?
It’s not a victory. It’s fascism
.fantastic news
Congratulations to a decent person unlike that 🐀 Pelosi
All the Presidents men, and women.
If Trump had had the same sense of urgency & priority in dealing with Covid as he did pushing through this appalling act, maybe he wouldn't be presiding over close to 1/4 million deaths. Welcome back to the C18th, USA. My sympathy.
A disgrace.
If she is true to her word, it may be no big deal. Over time, she will probably become more enlightened Barrettconfirmation
How that woman can accept the nomination is appalling and a shocking reflection on American values.
Good luck Americans
Disgusting
You can be a conservative, sure. But you can’t be undemocratic. This is not McConnell being a conservative; this is him being undemocratic. Shameful day for democracy.
DaniGaravelli1 Yeah, this one might end up best described as pyrrhic.
Bloody joke.
Major victory = ignoring any pretence of democracy
DaniGaravelli1 This is horrifying news. It will impact on the LGBTQ community, pro-choice work, minority communities, and much more. The American 'religious' right will be ecstatic, they can carry their burning torches and wear their hoods at will. A shameful day for America.
Pack the court. Two can play. Assuming they don’t steal it. Which they will try.
FTFY
Deceitful, untrustworthy, hypocritical. GOP
😂😂😂😂
This.
Stepford judge. Loathsome girl
grim. thats a lifelong seat. grim grim grim.
I think she’s smokin
Congratulations to Justice Amy Coney Barret. Wish her successfully fulfill her repeated pledge: Uphold the integrity of the Rule of Law, and Not twist the interpretation of the law to serve any political purpose.
Confirmed by right-wing republicans to serve their needs.
Imagine if the GOP dominated Supreme Court were to rule that all regulations aimed at cutting carbon emissions were unconstitutional. The implications of this nomination for life on this planet are potentially catastrophic
God trying real hard to show the US that he's long abandoned it
Biden will make this the most meaningless appointment ever 😂
An impeached president that most Americans didn’t vote for elects the least qualified judge nominated to SCOTUS. What could go wrong?
💩
A disingenuous fraud from the interviews I have seen.
I'm sorry, but why does it feel like for the past 8 years we've been operating under A ONE-PARTY SYSTEM?
Yuck
Thanks be to God
Our Country is now gone. The Fascists have taken over.
disgusting
Welcome to the IXX century
Lmao they fought long and hard for something superfluous and completely out of touch with the needs of Americans during a depression
God Bless America and keep it safe from the socialist left
PartyPandemic
Wonderful news. Well done justice Barrett. It is great to have ability recognised over rhetoric.
It isn't a victory for anyone. It is a disaster.
It wasn’t a victory, it was a farce.
Pack the court
Disgraceful 😡
It would be nice if the left and the democrats congratulated her. But that's not going to happen is it. Apparently being woke doesn't mean having manners.
Fuck them.
Bunch of hypocrites!
