Democrats quickly coalesced around opposition to President Trump’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday, painting the nominee as a threat to policies that Democrats favor.

“President Trump has been trying to throw out the Affordable Care Act for four years. Republicans have been trying to end it for a decade. Twice, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law as constitutional,” Biden said in a statement.

"Justice Ginsburg’s dying wish was that she not be replaced until a new president is installed. Republicans are poised to not only ignore her wishes, but to replace her with someone who could tear down everything that she built,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York. “I will strongly oppose this nomination."

And Democrats warned that Barrett could be the decisive vote in any potential election issues if confirmed in time, arguing Trump is essentially appointing his own referees to oversee the contest. “Rushing to confirm a Supreme Court nominee weeks before a presidential election has never been done before in the history of our nation and it will only fan the flames of division,” Manchin said in a statement. “I cannot support a process that risks further division of the American people at a time when we desperately need to come together.”

This is misleading. It's not about policies in Democrats favor, it's about policies that are best for America which, the Democrats happen to favor.

News flash! Democrats will do anything to try to stop Trump from doing his job as POTUS. 🤓 Trump 2020 🇺🇸👍

Focus on the nomination rather than the nominee.

thereidout Fantastic choice

dems terrorized abortion might become ....... not sure why killing a child has appeal

thereidout What a stupid fucking way to frame it

It’s not conservative justices that try to legislate from the bench...

Duh

Add more seats in January and watch the republicans cry. I cannot wait!!

No, not a threat to “policies” a threat to life, freedom, America, you know, everything. SCOTUSNomination

thereidout Not that Democrats favor, what is right for a democracy. We won't have healthcare. People are out of work, getting ill, dying. Who will pay their medical, if our healthcare is removed? The GOP volunteering to pay those medical bills? I mean, they value life so much, right?

thereidout Dissenting Opinion from Judge Barrett 'Founding legislatures did not strip felons of the right to bear arms simply because of their status as felons.' It's OK for felons to bear arms, but not to vote. And what would she do to Bloomberg?

Duh ! She is a conservative judge who values the constitution. The democrats hate america and want to turn it into a socialist country and ignore our constitution.

The Democrats will attempt to crucify this lady because they are evil people. They know their brutal attacks will not stop her from being the next Supreme Court Justice. Yet they do it anyway without any regards for her, her husband and children. Pathetic

Blame Harry Reid!!

And Ruth didn’t favor Democrats?

Impeach Kavanaugh for lying to Congress, we have the hearings, remember the Republicans fast track this turd on the bench!

thereidout “Policies that Democrats favor?!” What?! You mean taking away healthcare from millions? And taking away a woman’s right to choose what she does with her own body?! 😩

thereidout The policies that !Americans! favor. But, by all means, keep both sidesing us into ever greater serfdom.

Where’s Biden’s list?

Socialist democracy is the forefront of communism and the democratic party is leading the heard into a political agenda that will literally take away all of the freedoms of America and turn our nation into a totalitarian regime!

Policies that threaten all Americans. Not just Democrats. Are you saying that there are no Republicans that have preexisting conditions and need ACA?

Not just a threat to policies, a threat to programs and laws the majority of Americans want to see preserved (ACA, Roe v Wade, same sex marriage, gun regulations, voting rights, overturning Citizens United, etc.)

SHE IS A THREAT TO THINGS THAT AMERICANS FAVOR-NOT JUST DEMOCRATS- -LIKE HEALTH CARE & CHOICE- CHECK THE POLLS!!!

BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST BIDEN COMMUNIST

Of course leftist democrats and criminal media like NBC News oppose a Supreme Court nominee that is honest, ethical, and loves America. The left and mainstream media is enemy of our America and constitution.

thereidout This is the most bald, hypocritical and anti-democratic process in our history. And you are doing a disservice by not framing it as such.

Right, policies like democracy. Great reporting as usual, no bias...

As the country descends into a chaotic autocracy, it's good to know NBC is staying vague enough to not got shutdown or prosecuted post-coup. You gutless hacks.

Policies that decent humans favor. Fixed it for you

But at the end of the day Democrats are yet again powerless to stop the TrumpCrimeSyndicate, yes? ☹️ BlockBarrett SupremeCourtJustice VoteHimOut davidgrovernyc

EXACTLY! Just what the Dems favor. What a bunch of crybabies. They keep it up and I’ll fully be for turning over Roe v Wade.

*Americans favor. Fify

'policies that democrats favor' you mean like health care in a pandemic. Newsflash republicans would lose health care too. You know who wouldn't elitist news anchors that just see are fright as another news cycle. .. But her emails..

How Democrats have been acting everyday since 2016:

It's hard to tell how vicious the Democrats are going to be this time since they learned way back with bork how to totally be ruthless this is about power this is not about anything else

They’ve got nothing on her character. Brilliant move saving her for RBG’s seat realDonaldTrump.

They're asking for it. PackTheCourt

'painting the nominee as a threat to policies that Democrats favor' You said the quiet part out loud here, guys.

Here is my shocked face

This is probably the best reasoning I've heard yet that she should be confirmed forthwith.

Just add more seats in January

just come out and say Democrats are afraid of the states being able to make their own abortion laws.

the Reason Dems are so worried about a Trump SupremeCourt Pick is that their entire agenda is Unconstitutional. Even if their RADICAL Policies are enacted into LAW a just Supreme Court can Strike them Down. it's the last Remaining Firewall to Protect America from SOCIALISM.

I'm shocked! They are using to help them in the election. Your point?

200,000+ dead from Covid-19, and most because of Trump decisions. SCOTUS Justice Ginsburg's tiny body has not even turned cold yet while MoscowMitch, MoscowLindsey, MoscowBarr, MoscowPence and Trump-cult 'GOP' are hurtling confirmation of a 'conservative' (reckless) person.

Awaiting for the official nominee I want to share a clinical profile of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. For those who are interested click on this link More clinical profiles of other judges are also on my website
