U.S President Donald Trump holds an event to announce his nominee of U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on September 18, at the White House in Washington, U.S., September 26, 2020.

The hearings are part of an accelerated timeline as the Republican-controlled Senate seeks to vote on Trump’s nominee before the election, and cement a 6-3 conservative majority on the court. Trump has repeatedly and without evidence said that voting by mail, a longstanding feature of American politics, could lead to a surge in election fraud. He also has refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the election.
But the start date allows senators far less time than usual to get ready. The last six court nominees have waited about eight weeks for their hearings, the judiciary committee’s top Democrat, Senator Dianne Feinstein, said this week. She said this amount of time was needed for senators to adequately prepare.
Should start next week!!!!
dangerous abuse of power
she's a bit of a creep then!
Is it my imagination or is he getting even more orange ?
CONSTITUTION TRADITION COMPROMISE: SUPREME COURT JUSTICE vs PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION- The justice nomination is 'too close for confort.'
Orange Is So Becoming.
They shouldn't waste their time.
Trump and McConnels downfall started way before then. TrumpFailed MoscowMitch
2016, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY): “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
Loathing LindseyGrahamSC last act ... he cannot salvage his election... people will throw him out of his state
Wonder what the consequences are if all the democrat senators completely ignore all the normal confirmation procedures. These are not normal times and the focus should be kept on presidential elections. Deal with any consequences later.
Americans don’t care about a SCOTUS. They want the unemployment funds, to pay bills and buy food. I can’t believe an entire political party has decided to wash their hands of the people and instead fall in line behind an embarrassment of a leader.
Even with Trump’s rampant criminality, GOP cohorts still support him, so Boycott and VOTE to expel Trump / GOP organized crime. BidenHarris2020 Biden2020 — Read SethAbramson books and Twitter feed for extensive details on Trump/Russia/etc. organized crime.

7 children and we’re supposed to believe we’re going to get our moneys worth from her? Is SCOTUS some joke, vanity job?
“Hearings”
AMAZING how if the GOP takes early, strong, unified position, like they have on SCOTUS nomination, the Dem MSM is immediately on the defense and dazed/disorganized in their attacks! What would we have accomplished if they had acted this way for the last 4 yrs? Trump2020
She lost benefit of the doubt when she couldn't even form a semi cogent argument when asked about groups she herself was affiliated with and supports. At the time she knew she'd be a likely SCOTUS contender and her answer sounded like someone who hadnt even graduated high school.
Just another autocratic egocentric loud mouth narcissistic , kiss ass . A woman who,wants to be a slaves to,the same . Gender inequality back to,the dark ages of of male dominance of women’s ownership , like slaves . 2020 ?
This is too damn late. They should start next week. Democrats are gonna try to gum up the works so the no vote takes place prior to Election Day.
Liar liar pants on fire!! In your watch 200,000 patriotic American dead and counting. Get your act together. Shame on you.
This is wrong. If he wins in November he can seat this vapid religious zealot. Merrick Garland was refused any hearing and POTUS44 had months left. The fact this person showed up when Justice Ginsburg is not even interred is disgusting. Simply deplorable.
Repeatedly without evidence? that is an outright lie and you know it. Many, including the president, have cited multiple incidents of 'mail-in-voting' fraud and other issues with vote by mail systems. Honesty in reporting, really, it is a thing.. TRY IT. fakenews
Awesome 👏🇺🇸👏
Why even bother with confirmation? We know and Senate knows why she's here. Why do you guys even bother to 'act' like this about the country or anything to do with principle. All you guys turned your back on the people just like the SS oand Hitler-kill your own people.
Liar liar pants on fire!!
The issue of Roe is misunderstood by both side of the issue including judges. The issue is privacy in an individual’s medical matters. There is no said right to an elective abortion unless there is true danger to life. Any provider can refuse to do the procedure

most likely he met with her and she confirmed her unwavering loyalty to him and must have stressed her utter support for his re-election no matter what it takes. once this bogus election gets to the court, Trump's Justice puppets will rule for him.
On Columbus Day or was that canceled yet?
Fill that seat!
BlockBarrett
Good..
Let's see democrats narrative push now, guess the only thing they will say is she's a Catholic and that's bad she stands for life, faith, freedom, equality, justice , truth , integrity all the things anathema to the Democratic Base
Shame!

realDonaldTrump yo you so orange cut the bell peppers and carrots out
I think everyone needs to drive into dc and cause a traffic jam
Fuck every single one of them. Karma will take care of it.
Good to know that they are waiting until after Simchas Torah to begin the spectacle.
That expression of adoration on her face is everything we need to know about her.
Never Forget SwearToGod
'The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.' Republicans are TRASH 🖕🏽
Damn that's crazy I have plans to take a giant shit that day, wow what a coincidence
Trump's new orange make up is dreadful.
Trump is looking exceptionally orange in this one
