How do you call it a fair game when one side keeps breaking the rules? I guess there's no justice after all.

Gop Hypocrites

하나님의 뜻을 온전히 지킨 자, 거의 온전히 지킨 자, 아주 많이 지킨 자, 어느 정도 지킨 자, 적게 지킨 자, 아예 지키지 않은 자 중에서 천국에 합당한 자는 오직 온전히 지킨 자입니다. 온전히 지키는 자는 오직 성령의 불을 받은 자입니다.

The hypocrisy of th GOP on full display.

Suppress the right to contest I love it

Good now we will have a new judge. The hell with Americans out of work, falling into poverty, businesses closing. They don’t matter, but getting a new judge - priority one! Trump and the republican senators failed!

Thank God our Senators are hanging strong. The only thing between Americans and the democrats with their communist agenda is SCOTUS, including the very capable Ms Coney Barrett!. TRUMP 2020!!!

I got a feeling Barrett is not who senate republicans think she is. This confirmation of Amy Barrett will not bode well for McConnell, I hope it was worth it, whatever price he was paid.

It’s so funny watching Democrats have emotional and psychological breakdowns. I thought they built you crying closets I get it, they’re probably filled.

Republicans have gone crazy and GODs taking control soon enough. JOE BIDEN is our Salvation!!! Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire; no man shall spare his brother. Isaiah 9:19

Polarisation in the judicial nominations through recent weakening of the filibuster rules

acbwarriorqueen

Stop treating this as normal.

Are you going to report about Kamala illegally campaigning at the voting polls? And why she is not still arrested. That’s so wrong.

Wrong 51 -48

51-48.

So, Mitt Romney went ahead and voted against the filibuster! Who’s surprised at him? One day he’s for the morals of being fair to us on this sham process, and then he jumps off, to another ship, again!! senatorromney dnc joebiden kamalaharris

Trump calls Black Lives Matter a 'symbol of hate' as he digs in on race.

Let’s be clear about what Republicans lead by Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham are shouting at the top of their lungs at the American people. Go fuk yourselves. We are deciding who gets put on the court we don’t care what you want. They have now set the stage for rebalancing.

Is that true ? BLM = BIDEN's Laptop Matters!

Pathetic last-ditch attempt by lisamurkowski and Susan Collins to save their seats. We see throught it and will not forget

Too bad Democrats, she’s confirmed

GOPHasNoShame

11 voting present? Not wanting to go on record?

Outstanding! A great justice deserves to be confirmed and she will.

It must be nice for Murkowski and Collins to know their votes don’t matter, so they appear to be center right when they have full intention of voting for the confirmation.

If lisaMurkowski and SenatorCollins think these votes will give them cover, they have another thing coming. Maine Alaska

Where were the other 11 senators? 51 + 38 = 89

Why hasn’t any reporter asked McConnell wtf is going on with his hands?

JTHVerhovek *51-48

SenateGOP corruption at it's finest. Every one of them need to be held accountable for aiding and abetting Trump's consistent corruption and the war he has waged against the American people. unconstitutional

How convenient!

priscilagural If it were closer they would have been the deciding votes for moving her forward.

Stop with the lies. Trump test for Covid-19 everyday before he goes out to public and so does his team. Regardless the recovery rate is 99.9%

Collins is so transparent

When the Democrats take the Senate and the House, and the Republicans come staggering out of the dust saying well at least we packed the courts with conservatives... We’ll all laugh heartedly and then expand the fuck out of the Supreme Court. jokesonthem

When did the senate change fron 60 votes to stop a filibuster to just simple majority cant find any amendment or senate rule onlike for that

Hehe got em

People need to think about what Republicans are doing with the courts as a party. No matter what comes out of the congress they can sue all the way up to the USSupremeCourt cause they know sooner or later their political operatives on the courts will do their will. CNN MSNBC

Wait. Don’t you need 60 votes? 🤣🤣

4 republicans need to grow a pair and vote against ACB. American lives depend on it.

Shame on you Mitch McConnell & GOP DitchMitch FlipTheSenate HEROESActNow Stimulus unemployment Covid19 crisis

Not news. We already knew outcome.

VOTE THEM OUT VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

51 to 38? Confused 51 to 48 seems right ?

Error 51-48

Time to reform the courts.

Average Americans are screwed. Sad no one is fighting for us.

51-48

hmmm

DO IT

Media, please ask McConnell why getting a SCOTUS pick is more important than helping people struggling due to the impacts of COVID.

A dark day for the US.

51-38 Voters.

Lisa mokonski confirmed her support to ACB.

This is fun...

There was never any, lol! The process is completely broken
