WASHINGTON/WILMINGTON, Del. - Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and fellow Democrats made it clear on Sunday that their opposition to President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, would focus on the possibility she could cast a decisive vote to strike down the Obamacare health law.
Barrett could be on the court’s bench for oral arguments on Nov. 10 in a case in which Trump and his Republican allies are seeking to invalidate the Affordable Care Act - the 2010 law popularly known Obamacare. That could cost millions of Americans their healthcare coverage as well as protections for pre-existing health conditions.
Barrett’s confirmation would result in a 6-3 conservative majority on the court that some conservatives hope could result in curbing abortion rights.In remarks at the White House on Sunday, Trump charged that Barrett’s critics were playing the “religious card” against her, an implicit suggestion that they were biased against the judge, who is a devout Roman Catholic.
Biden repeated his call that the winner of the presidential election should get to appoint the new justice. “I want to ask her point blank ... whether or not her position is that we should end the Affordable Care Act providing health insurance for 20 million Americans and protections for Americans from one coast to the other from pre-existing conditions being used against them to buy health insurance,” Democratic Senator Dick Durbin said on ABC’s “This Week.”
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, said on Fox News Channel that the Democratic base is “going nuts” about the court vacancy and that activists are putting pressure on senators to “destroy” Barrett.
they should focus on his mental health
Definitely no thx BYEden 🙄🤦
Vote for Democrats to taste the END of an empire.
Uhhh, what? That line is incoherent. Biden isn't arguing a case before SCOTUS. Fellow Democrats, okay, maybe? This title is shite.

This is stupid. Focus on the fact that if Republicans push this through THEY will be responsible for any countermeasures Democrats are forced to make next year. Make the 13 person SCOTUS next year, with 7 liberal justices, McConnell's legacy. ExpandTheCourt
