24/7 coverage of breaking news and live events.Democrats on Thursday mounted a brief protest to try to delay committee action on the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, but Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham barreled forward with the support of his GOP colleagues on the panel -- casting aside committee rules in the process.
With Democrats’ delay effort shut down and a vote on the nomination scheduled for Oct. 22 at 1 p.m., it was even more apparent that Barrett is on track to be approved by the Senate byDay, a key goal of President Donald Trump who has said she could help decide any election-related dispute that comes by the Supreme Court.
“They want her to be the ninth justice to make a decision on the election, rather than the voters,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told reporters, “And they want someone to strike down the Affordable Care Act and Roe v. Wade.” Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington, Oct. 14, 2020.
"I’ve been really struggling to find out the truth, to understand why Judge Barrett is such a threat to them. It is because they've become accustomed that when they lose elections and they lose votes in the Congress, they depend on courts to bail them out. That’s not what judges should be doing," Cornyn admonished.
GStephanopoulos They don’t care bout the American people, Democrats nor Republicans. All they care bout is power n money for themselves. I am not voting for either candidate. I’m tired of being used as a pawn. JoeBiden POTUS SpeakerPelosi
GStephanopoulos I FIND IT DISGUSTING THAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE SPOUTING THE CRAP THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE OUT TO STACK THE SUPREME COURT WHEN THEY ARE DOING IT IN BROAD DAYLIGHT THIS BARRETT SKANK DOES NOT DESERVE A SEAT ON THE COURT IN ANY WAY UNTIL THE ELECTION IS OVER AND THE WINNER CAN PICK
GStephanopoulos People who vote for this raging lunatic are the problem with this country.
GStephanopoulos pork filled deals. It’s BS. Streamline them for us Tax Payers and the ones that will have to pay back this loan🤡
GStephanopoulos let her talk like you did..
GStephanopoulos Did ABC hear about those Biden emails yet?
GStephanopoulos WheresHunter BidenCrimeFamily JoeBiden godfather of crime
GStephanopoulos GOPChairwoman put GStephanopoulos in his place. Called him out on asking questions that don’t matter to her and how the Press always gives Biden a pass.
GStephanopoulos Pelosi needs a new name “rambling Rose”. She rambles on and on and never answers a question
GStephanopoulos Good morning..Sunday morning.😁😂🤣
GStephanopoulos 🇺🇸🇺🇸
GStephanopoulos WTF dis she just say?
GStephanopoulos Ask her why she's giving Trump any sliver of a chance at re-election by stonewalling a stimulus that would help millions of Americans. I'm one of the extraordinarily lucky ones and am still giving myself ulcers worrying about it. I can only imagine someone in dire need.
GStephanopoulos
GStephanopoulos Have a gov't saving account for children until 25, they will have a source of money to get a good start in life.
GStephanopoulos She took a long way around Harvey's barn to say Biden will pack the court.
Sucks
Totally unqualified, and she knows it. Only remedy is to court pack.
Yes, that’s how The Constitution works, ABC.
Still crickets on the Biden Burisma emails.
I didn't know Always Be Cryin' news was a comedy show.
Avoid the situation as it is in Poland today. The supreme court must remain crystal clear and independent.
And in November we will all know if she is bought & paid for by Donald ex-Pres. Trump And if she perjured herself during her confirmation hearings
Proceeding to confirm Judge Barrett to the Supreme Court with less than three weeks before the next election while denying Judge Garland even a hearing nine months before the 2016 election is a disgrace to the honor and integrity of the U. S. Senate.
Barrett is a Trump and McConnell political tool being instated to remove our healthcare and Social Security. People need to call and email their representatives if they care about this.
Shameful
Packing the courts while Americans can't get a relief package. GOP is killing Americans with COVID or by not caring about them during a pandemic. Can we get real leadership in this country? PLEASE!!!!!
It is a natural step in the legitimate and constitutional process of nomination and confirmation, regardless of Democratic objections.
She’s the right person for the job, thank the nomination.
Democrats are in the minority, so they have no say. Remember how Harry Reid always listened to the Republicans?... yeah... neither do I!
😯
She is going to be a great addition to the Supreme Court !
What are the chances that she won't be accepted?
Biden will pack the supreme court with 4 new justices. Americans are voting for Biden and Kamala. Trump is ANTI: universal healthcare, free college, Social Security, USPS, gays, Latinos, DACA, immigrants, black history, stimulus for cities, & extra $600.
God safe us from this witch
She is everything most Americans don't want!!! FK Trump & the GOP hypocrites!!!
If she gets voted on its a travesty
Putin runs this country. He chose Amy for scotus and trump obliged.
She's simply unqualified.
If Democrats could just stop being stupid, that would be great. Why are they always delaying and preventing just because they arent getting their way... They act like 70 year old kids...
I think she's shameful for accepting the nomination from Trump at this time. She seems qualified, sane, & under other circumstances I think she seems like a good candidate for the GOP to put forward. I'd refuse the nomination until after the election because of the GOPs own rules
Putins guy sending directive to Trump just hours after RBGs death.
HAHAHAHAHAHA Six out of NINE, and they actually convinced MILLIONS the liberals were the ones lying to you and trying to pack the supreme court.
America’s f...led
RBG was a dem so the seat shld go to a dem judge
Good. Stop wasting time.
Biden will be announcing the NO MALARKEY Act to rebalance the federal bench about 5 minutes after she is confirmed.
If the GOP is rushing through this process who is to say they are not forcing the DEMS to return the 'favor' by stacking when they are in control. This is opportunist / hypocritical move by GOP is short sighted and extremely stupid.
😐😐
good
Its a done deal get over it boo-hoo
ConfirmAmyConeyBarrettNow
Unstable, Fascist Trump Regime Needs to ‘Go Home’, Be that to Mental Facility or Prison ‘WALLS’ to Roam! We, the People’s Health & Livelihoods Sacrificed, & Rational Would Think That Sufficed! But, Reckless Narcissist & Minions Send, US Family Members & Friends to Life’s End!
Sad commentary on the state of our uniion. This nominee is among the best America has to offer.
Thank YOU
Spitting Covid virus through that bullhorn.
Lol all the criminal's are out
Wrong, wrong, wrong this close to an election. We must stop the GOP corruption & the rest of the circus that is complicit .
She. Is. Unqualified.
The article is so one sided, ABC. No surprise.
Do not follow the example of Poland
They've objected everything for last 4 years
Democrats would do the same exact thing if they controlled the WH and Senate. In 2016 they didn’t control the Senate. SCOTUS has been politicized in recent decades by Democrats. They reap now what they’ve sewn over the past decades (since Bork).
athelass She’s gonna replace RBG and there’s nothing you can about it but cry.

Look at all the money and time they waste. They cram everything in a couple of days and then wait to give the out come. Both parties are a bunch of baboons
Court packing, coming to a town near you...
No NO NO...Amy Barrett agent KGB name Murzilka
