Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett: “I have been nominated to fill Justice Ginsburg’s seat but no one will ever take her place. I will be forever grateful for the path she marked and the life she led.”

Judge Barrett, who has been diligent in keeping her mask on throughout the hearing, except for an occasional sip of water, removed it to be sworn in and to deliver her“As I said when I was nominated to serve as a justice, I am used to being in a group of nine -- my family," Barrett began."Nothing is more important to me, and I am so proud to have them behind me.

Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett smiles during her Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, Oct. 12, 2020. Barrett said a similar principle of separation applies to the role of the courts, a line that will likely pick up traction in questioning from Democrats.

“When I write an opinion resolving a case, I read every word from the perspective of the losing party. I ask myself how would I view the decision if one of my children was the party I was ruling against: Even though I would not like the result, would I understand that the decision was fairly reasoned and grounded in the law?” she said.

We don’t deserve her extreme religious views either.

Is he gay? He is hiding something

Mr.Graham if you would keep your word,maybe you could be trusted.

3rd but not least South Carolina DONOT deserve you Linda

Obama didn’t deserve this either

Obama didn’t deserve this

We deserve to get our say! Vote these GOP liars out.

Did she rape someone.... oh no? Then why the fuck would it go that direction? Don’t be stupid. No one is saying she’s a bad person, she just seems a little to religious driven when it comes to politics annnndddd the candidate who wins the election should choose.

Neither did Hillary need 11 hrs straight

Suspend the hearing until February and it won’t go the same way.

Does she love beer?

The American people do not deserve him or her !

The American people do not deserve you and whatever thoughts you got. The American people will be more than happy if you get replaced.

Vote this dog out

Coming from a man who is on his way out.

American people don’t deserve Amy Barrett as the next Supreme Court justice

Neither do they need a repeat of GOP lies that is now ramming through a nomination because they have no confidence in the re-election of Trump.

You’re not listening to what the people want LindseyGrahamSC

Do we really want a Supreme Court justice who is willing to accept a nomination that was made for the sole purpose of stealing an election and taking away healthcare.Where is the morality and religious values in these actions.

Well she most likely Never abused a man while in college . Oh and how is being a federal judge for 3 entire years any qualification for our Top court for Life ?!!!?

Bye bye Lady G 😂

Truth but the swamp creatures will do it anyway

It's amazing to me that some people don't know that they are complete assholes.

How is it possible that a person with such a closed and archaic mindset as Amy Coney Barrett can be offered one of the most important positions in the US? I mean really, she would be perfect in the Stepford Wives.

Lady G in da hoooouuuusssee!!!

VOTEFORLindseyGraham VoteRED2020RemoveEveryDemocrat

🤮

What we don’t deserve is Lindsey Graham.

What a two faced ass. Vote him out.

He needs to shut his trap and grab a bunch of Graham crackers and run for the bunker!

He looks like he doesn't feel well. Is he sick?

Sen. Lindsey Graham needs to be voted out of office for someone who truly represents the American Principles of the Constitution instead of one of immense greed and avarice

I think as a ‘conservative’ that she is; she should of respected whats be a tradition and not accept the nomination on an election year. So she’ll get what she’ll get.

LindseyGrahamSC’s determined to hold on to the Senate Judiciary. He desperately needs Amy Coney Barrett to win him support in SCSenateRace. He needs to fundraise & campaign off of her. Try to make South Carolinians forget what a useless senator he is. Vote for harrisonjaime

I hope it does and then some. His face makes me puke.🤢

Lets just proceed with the Hearings lead by Lindsay Graham who's on Video many times Giving his Word, basically swore an Oath that he'd not be doing exactly what he's doing right now after stealing Obamas SC with Mitch McConnel in 2016, we're all supposed to just forget it? ...

The American people deserve better than LindseyGrahamSC VoteHimOut2020

So sick of this parrot 🦜

Well she doesn't look like someone that pigs out on beer so I think she is safe on that point.

Mean while the American people do not deserve you Mr. Graham.

Correct

Well Kavanaugh was obviously an over indulger in college, who didn't know what NO meant. If you had done a full investigation, instead of ram Roddenberry it through, im sure you would have actually either found out the truth, or not made a gross mistake. You'll never be sure!

Merrick garland

Did she get drunk and poke her fingers up unsuspecting peoples ass and then blame it on the other unsuspecting person standing next to them? Because I feel like that’s what Justice Brett did and we all know what happened to Christine Ford

I’m waiting to hold his words against him, the hypocrite.

For the millionth time Graham, get lost, you’re breaking your Promise to Americans.

Everything you worked for is now gone!

Says the Senator who screamed during Supreme Court hearings.

Lindsey remember the movie Look Whose Talking! The difference is you Talk out of both sides of your mouth.

Unfortunately all over the world politicians, professors, public opinion makers, press barons, business leaders etc have been trapped ( honey or money) and are bonded slaves and will support cheen overtly or behind the scene.

The American ppl deserve to finish the current, ongoing election before you ram thru a hypocritical scotus nom.

Get boofed Lindsey

You and she deserved to take the path of Merrick Garland. Lucky for you Democrats don't have the balls for that.

How do I donate to his opponent?

The GOP always be winer no matter what.

Yeah it would really suck if she started crying about how much she still likes beer. None of us needs to go thru that again.

She also doesn’t deserve to be pushed into a packed supreme court based on a feared republican agenda.

The American people don't deserve the spineless LindseyGrahamSC

Dude... we deserve better than Amy

As long as ACB hasn’t been credibly accused of assaulting women then Graham has nothing to worry about.

Resign Graham

What does Lindsey Graham stand by ...not his old friend John....not his word...and not the voters. What does Lindsey Graham stand for....nothin' nothin' Absolutely Nothin'. Don't vote for a flip-flopper. Vote him out. VOTE HARRISON

Come on Senator. If Dem members of Congress aren’t respectful, discontinue the hearings and call for a vote.

Covid says what?!

Barrett needs to be examined thoroughly without malice. But this is more about the two timing GOP and the senatemajldr lead Senate. Bastards need to pay a price politically. They are liars and traitors. VOTE!!

Screw you Lindsey, it will be worse, and it will be on your shoulders and McConnell’s!!

Statements by Democrat Senator’s at the hearing for Judge Barrett were ridiculous. Senator’s for them to say the hearing a sham .Judge Barrett got to see what is going on in the Senate.Have the vote so we don’t have to see any of these show!

LindseyGrahamSC a hypocrite, liar & complicit in Trump GOP packing the courts. Don’t believe it, play video of senatemajldr bragging about it MSNBC samstein JohnJHarwood CNN nytimes Eugene_Robinson Acosta costareports thehill politico mitchellreports chucktodd

Like Graham and the entire GOP wouldn’t pack the court. Give me a big fucking break.

Tired worthless little man

The American people want covid relief and not a forced Supreme Court nomination

She shouldn't have even been nominated.

Yes, LindseyGrahamSC - the world is watching. Fuck you, all the way.

I would hazard the guess that she is not a sexual predator.

LindseyGrahamSC looks AWFUL. Isn't he being treated for Covid-19? It doesn't appear to be making him better. Please, get checked out before its too late to do something about it.

DON’BODY COUNT of children, Moms & Dads AS OF TODAY 219,706 as he continues his plan of “IT IS WHAT IT IS“ DON’S PLAN of Herd Immunity will take 80% of the citizens to become infected resulting in US 3,310,026 DEATHS! Instead of fighting his CDC & FDA he should just be honest

LindseyGrahamSC who paid his debts off Kavanaugh that is

U don’t have the slightest clue about the American people

More succinctly ... 1) DAYS before an election, people shud decide on Scotus nominee thru NEXT president 2) LindseyGrahamSC said no nominations in an election year! Hypocrite 3) Religion & State are separate in our constitution. Barrett is on the record bias already

The people of South Carolina do not deserve another term of Lindsay Graham as a senator!

When Rep have played games with the courts for a year before Obama left office. Yes, he was still President but Mitch refused to allow any judge nominations through even for the Federal court. Why were there so many seats to be filled? Mitch held them. people didn't vote

She didn’t rape anyone so we’re fine.

You know it was not the Dem that came forward and accused him of sexual assult. It was one women you men treated well...like you do.

You're right... It should go like Merrick Garland

Lindsey is a hypocrite of the first order. harrisonjaime is going to have that seat in a few weeks and make South Carolina proud once again.

Then the trumpgop needs to stop nominating poorly qualified SCOTUS candidates. Problem solved.

M contesting from Madhepura assembly constituency, Bihar 🇮🇳

Why LindseyGrahamSC is she a rapist too?

How does he care about what the American people want? The American people don’t deserve to be ignored by their elected Officials. The American people don’t deserve to be a second priority behind a political stunt/confirmation! The American people deserve than this Congress!!!

It was Obama’s constitutional right to nominate Merrick Garland 8 months before election. Just as you claim Trump was elected for a 4 year term, so was Obama. And MoscowMitch gleefully ADMITS that he blocked all of Obama’s federal judge nominations.

LindseyGrahamSC Is a hypocrite and cannot be trusted it. He has proven his word is worthless and will say anything to support realDonaldTrump VoteLindseyOut GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPHypocrisy

One day you will have to face John McCain again, Lindsay Graham.

Then don’t do it hypocrite

I don't think she raped anyone, so no.

LindseyGrahamSC yep you’re right the world is watching SenateGOP jam through a nominee when the American people are voting. Let the people speak no confirmation until inauguration. I realize you may not be around come then but I don’t care. John McCain wouldn’t do this

She the Dark Angle that will vote to allow corporate Dark Money to drive our elections. She would revive your terminal political career. For that reason alone, you are all in with Trump.

amyconeybarrett has my vote for reversing the same sex marriage is demonic will never vote for JoeBiden he will approve humans marrying animals. Will not vote for POTUS 45 conservative Christians are fake. I am anti: opioid, abortion, LGBTQUIA, guns, immigrants persecution ❤️

womenagainstBarrett

Once Amy got drunk on strawberry Boone’s and ruined the interior of my new corvette , later she dry humped a pillow.

I hope she didn’t allegedly rape people.

Vote Lindsey out he is for himself and not the people, very unpatriotic!!!

Yea because Lindsey Graham knows what the American people want

More lies. You have proven your word isn’t worth anything.

It’s the COVID talking

We deserve a senator that keeps his word VoteThemAllOut

You are so out of touch with the every day person. Wake up and join realty. Women are different than man. I don’t think you will ever understand.

Democrats are gross. They are EVERYTHING they say they hate.

LindseyGrahamSC the PEOPLE deserve to vote and not have this appointee shoves upon us. Don’t speak for the PEOPLE give us the chance to vote to speak for ourselves!

Wrong timing Republicans. Hungry for power?

👍

If AmyConeyBarrett was not being political SHE WOULD WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION! USSupremeCourt Lawrence maddow

I sure hope LindseyGrahamSC loses his bid for re-election. Hypocrite

Excuse me, Mr. Graham, but the American people should have a voice in the next Supreme Court Justice - just like you said years ago.

“If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait to the next election,' Graham said! Lie

Did anyone ask her if she likes beer? 🙂🍺

The Republicans who're trying to get her in is up to no good!

LadyGraham come our 🌈🌈

They need to just vote and move on

I would not want to see Miss Lindsay do her “deranged ferret rage” act again.

The American people don’t deserve a hypocrite like LindseyGrahamSC either- VOTE HIM OUT

Dipshit²

Who really cares what Sen. Lindsey Liar says?

The American people don’t deserve a hearing in the middle of an election. A refrain you and your cronies seemed ok with just a short four years ago. My how standards have changed when you have no morals

Kavanaugh pissed off woman in 2018, woman came out and flipped 41 seats blue. Barrett is only making more woman angry.

Hopefully it goes nowhere.

He needs to GO... no more lifers anymore!!!

We deserve justices that are not protected from crimes and misdeeds by a bunch of old white guys afraid of their diminishing power!

He’s so horrible

South Carolina, don’t let this guy bamboozle you anymore

Kavanaugh is a rapist and sexual abuser!

Prayers 🙏, ridiculous

Well when you nominate a sexual predator expect a trial Lady G.

Wait!!!! You mean the path you created last time?

I really shouldn't be here but since I am thank you Moscow mitch for being a Hypocrite

When do those pop culture t-shirts come out for her? That’s what makes a good judge right?

Impeccable

How disgusting this trash mentions RBG’s name. Go back to the 1950’s and do as your master tells you.

I hope she makes the Dems cry! That’s the best

She can never take her place obviously because she’s trying to undo everything that RBG has done. The rush to replace her with someone in such opposition when there is a presidential election is just disgraceful and disgusting.

..& I will close every door she opened for me.'

NoConfirmationBeforeInauguration The American people have a right to participate in the appointment of the next SCOTUS senatemajldr

SHE'S A 'TRUMP REPUBLICAN ENABLER'... SO WHAT SHE SAYS IS TOTAL 💩💩💩💩💩

Did her nose grow while she read these words? Coney-Barrett obviously has nothing but disdain for everything RBG believed.

As she slams the door shut behind her.

Amy, you are no RBG!

Hypocrite

“Now, I’ll go about the business of DESTROYING her legacy”! Get the hell out of here with that BS!

And you will rule 180 degrees from how she did which, just before she passed, is exactly what she said she didn't want to happen, so don't use her name like it's some positive thing. SHE DIDN'T WANT YOU.

As you close all the doors Ruth has opened.

Here come the hate comments from the left. Ready! Go!

It amazes me all the fortune tellers and mind readers there are on Twitter. If everyone was right, they'd all be billionaires by stocks and lottery winnings. All need reminding: “It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt.' Twain

Are you a judge for the people? Or, are you a judge to espouse your beliefs?

And you'll do everything you can to destroy it

What a horrible woman, a true embarrassment to her gender.

'And I will work to take away everything she stood for.' There, I fixed your quote for you.

Then -- honor RBG's request, and refuse a hearing before the new president is seated.

She is related to the Duggar’s

She has a painful look on her face paired with her comment.

Now watch me piss all over her

The issue is it’s not Ginsberg’s seat, it was a spot on the bench filled by Ginsberg but it belongs to the American people.

What a Great Supreme Court Nominee

What a load of crap. If Barrett had any respect for RBG she would have declined the nomination. Her actions speak self-interest, not respect .

'Now, just let me pull up the ladder behind me...' *undoes all the things* 'There we go.'

Her words ring vapid and empty. The right thing for her to do would be disappear into obscurity.

This biatch took the crooked path, NOT the path JUSTICE Ginsburg started!

If she cared she would ask for delay until after election. If senate cared they would ask justice to withdraw case against ACA

You certainly won’t!!!!!!

Remind me to start hoarding my birth control.

Hypocrisy. Pure hypocrisy.

VoteEarly

I'm looking for John Conner, have you seen him?

And I'll be sure to destroy everything she accomplished.

and she will try and dismantle all of RBG’s work.

Amy, you're no Notorious RBG! Just walk away! You don't deserve a seat on the bench for multiple reasons. The first is that your name isn't Merrick Garland. Walk away!

'And I'll do that by being a hypocrite here and send America back to the 80's--the 1880's when I'm on the bench.'

Someone said every door RBG opened she's going to close right behind her.
