Judge Amy Coney Barrett “could turn back the clock on women’s rights and a woman’s right to choose, workers’ rights, voting rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, environmental protections, and more.”

The flag-draped casket of the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lies in state in Statuary Hall of the Capitol during a memorial service in her honor on Friday.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer harshly criticized President Donald Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, saying Judge Amy Coney Barrett “could tear down everything” late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg “built” during her tenure. In, Schumer focused on the consequences of Barrett’s confirmation on health care.

Any senator who votes to confirm Trump’s nominee would be voting “to strike down the Affordable Care Act and eliminate protections for millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions,” Schumer said. With his nomination, Trump “has once again put Americans’ healthcare in the crosshairs.,” he added.

I will oppose the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, as I would any nominee proposed as part of this illegitimate sham process, barely one month before an election as Americans are already casting their votes. Americans deserve a voice in this hugely consequential decision.Some Democrats have already made clear they will take no part in the confirmation process. Two of the 10 Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee—Sens.

Yep. All because rbg didn’t resign during Obama’s admin. Well, and our system is deeply flawed with lifetime appointments and no term limits in the legislative branch.

She is a wolf in sheep's clothing...

contactlight69 Wouldn’t it be doubly tragic if it’s a woman who reversed all the rights women have fought for in the last century.

And healthcare! That's an important one.

On guns, abortion, high court could become more conservativeIf Congress confirms President Trump’s nominee to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Supreme Court would become more conservative and also perhaps more ready to tackle certain hot-button issues like abortion and guns. This isn’t news; it’s opinion! '...and also perhaps more ready to tackle...' Gotta love the milquetoast liberal equivocation larded with modifiers and gussied up as objectivity. why they chose her: to rile everyone up & make this a fight about religion. It’s not that. It may seem reasonable to question what appears ‘cult-like’ ; but it feeds into GOP story, helps them. DON’T fuel story that it’s about religion. It’s not. It’s about:ACA &democracy
