WASHINGTON - Democratic senators including vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Monday painted President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett as a threat to the Obamacare healthcare law during a deadly pandemic and denounced the Republican drive to approve her before the Nov. 3 U.S. election.
Barrett’s confirmation would give the court a 6-3 conservative majority that could lead to rulings rolling back abortion rights, expanding religious and gun rights, and upholding voting restrictions, among other issues. Barrett could be on the Supreme Court in time to participate in a case due to be argued on Nov. 10 in which Trump and Republican-led states are seeking to invalidate Obamacare.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who chairs the committee, opened the hearing by saying it would be “a long contentious week” but implored senators to make the proceedings respectful.“This is probably not about persuading each other, unless something really dramatic happens. All Republicans will vote yes and all Democrats will vote no,” Graham said.Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy condemned the Republican “mad rush” to fill the vacancy.
But a 6-3 conservative advantage would undo years of progress. The already gutting the Voting Rights Act what else they will overturn Biden.
Were you surprised ?
Trump 4 more years 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Actually it should because Catholicism is a point of view even in Christianity. Perhaps too many of one perspective is not fair.
Because Joe Biden has integrity. The issue is not her faith. The issue is that it is unethical for her to be appointed to a lifetime seat while ballots are being cast. Scalia’s seat was open for 11 months because the GOP wanted to sit on it until the tides turned their way.
His strategists must be reacting to internal polling results.
No one wants to take away anyone’s healthcare. Stop with the scare tactics and talk about ways to improve it!
The only ppl mentioning her faith are the Repugs. Biden is Catholic and poised to lead the party and country. This is just noise distraction.
He also forgot which state he was in, called Sen. Romney, The Mormon, and once again said he was running for the Senate. He had a rough day.
He also stated yesterday in Ohio he was running for Senate! Lol!
FUNNY! The things that people are prepared to say when they become aware that they have lost their cause.
You love to cover Joe positively don’t you.
Faith shouldn't be an issue. The court should be open and tolerant to all faiths. I look forward to the day when a Muslim or a Hindu sits on SCOTUS. Partisanship is the issue. Partisanship undermines the separation of powers between the house, executive and judiciary.
Kamala disagrees. I wonder if they actually talk. They don't seem in sync on stuff.
I have zero confidence in Amy Coney Barrett.
Whatever happened to “separation of church and state”? So tired of all of this, that I put myself into 🙄
Common Sense Prevailing. . . .
And that's why he's losing in 24.
Il est capital dans toute civilisation de séparer l’église de tout pouvoir politique et ce quelque puisse être nos croyances On a aussi le droit d’être athée. Hors il y a des pays où cela peut vous valoir la peine de💀(qui devrait être abolie partout..) JoeBiden AmyConeyBarrett
so how does it work? Only DNC can decide which questions Senators can ask? :) :)
Why do they always bring someone faith up for a government appointment if their intentions is not to bash anyone who feel religious! The Dems are so radical and they’re ready to destroy America 🇺🇸
Joe Biden got money from CCP should not be questioned!
ttps://t.co/Zi26qghL6X?ssr=true
No shame.
It won’t be much longer before the people will not have to listen to lectures from THIS Republican Congress on civics of all subjects.
Over 50% of Americans want the Scotus vacancy chosen/filled after the November election vote BTW what is GregAbbott_TX trying to do? VoterSuppression ?
SenSasse didn’t you and your republican pals lead by LindseyGrahamSC & senatemajldr hold hostage Garland for the Scotus ? flipflop doasisaynotasido courtpacking is coming
The part he leaves out is that R's have intentionally decimated civics & made everything political with their Machiavellian approach to maintain their grip on power, despite being a minority party. After Garland, they have literally no ground to stand on. So fcuk you BenSasse.
How about 'Ben Sasse Gives Bad-Faith Hypocritical Lecture To Rationalize His Party's Cynical Power Grab, While Ignoring Any Covid Relief and Enabling Trump'? A lot more accurate.
Brilliant brain.
He really must think Americans are a basket of idiots... SenSasse
Sure, sweetie, you seem to be completely divorced from reality. I guess you can afford to be. Everything is politics. Everything. SenSasse
It's like a rapist talking about the importance of consent in the middle of a rape.
So says the party of voter suppression. Civics lesson number one, allow the voters their say in all things government.
They need a cover when they are undermining the civics part. So, looks like they truly understand what they are doing.
Sure, sweetie, you seem to be completely divorced from reality. I guess you can afford to be. Everything is politics. Everything. BenSasse
Vote Biden 👍 No SCOTUS vote until after inauguration.
Yes his little speech about being non political about selecting Supreme Court Justices was very peculiar as Republicans force a very political justice onto the Court.
He doesn’t know what what the 1st amendment even is or freedom if it crushed him.
Did he talk about the difference between her extreme rightwing views snd most of America's? This is bullshit deflection
I hope the supereme court makes it so every woman who’s had an abortion gets the capital punishment because they did murder
Sen. Sanctimony is at it again.

Vote him out! votethemallout
Like he paid attention in that class
JuddApatow What did she answer?
JuddApatow We Americans will not forget how you skewed us all over you nasty, cheating, hypocritical tRumplicans!! Your days in power will end soon and we will laugh at you while we applaud the PEOPLE'S victory!
They do know Barrett is only one vote not THE vote don’t they.
The people had a saying -- in 2016; that's when.
American people had as much a say in this process as Sen. Blumenthal played in the Vietnam War.
It is the constitution and duty to fill the vacancy. The conformation does not strip me of anything as a citizen. This guy who stole valor does not speak for me.
There goes Richard 'Stolen Valor' Blumenthal projecting again SenBlumenthal
What Trump is hoping is that they'll strip the American public of their choice for President by 'selecting' him the same way the Supreme Court selected George W. Bush in 2000. Barr will contest the vote in a few key states and Trump hopes the Court will put a thumb on the scale.
The Democratic Party is out to destroy the Constitution.
He couldn’t be more wrong. The only thing worse are the people who believe his misleading and sensational comments.
Constitution states otherwise🙄 1776_CONSTITUTION 1A ARTICLE_6 FILLTHATSEAT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Plain BS. Follow the constitution, end of the story.
Blumenthal lied about being a Vietnam Wat veteran. A parasite who must be voted OUT
Lair. This guy has become wealthy at the expense of the American people. Time for term limits in the US congress.
He's exactly correct.
She said whatever the teleprompter told her to say
Who?
Americans are suffering financially while both parties delay a substantial Corvid-19 relief stimulus package that is an emergency priority. Perhaps, they do not get it because they have substantial incomes, wealth, properties, and food.
So like all grocery, retail, hospital, warehouse workers in America since March? Where's she at on this? Y'all aren't special chile. Do your job.
she's looking mighty white today while she lies.
MLB NBA and NFL have all been working! How about the media. We all have been working! Don’t forget the Black women that is stocking grocery shelves so JoeBiden can stay sequestered!
your pelosi rejected their stimulas deeming it inadequate...should approve first instead of own agenda
Kamala is absolute garbage. Life is getting back to normal and she & joe are touting another shutdown. Absolutely ridiculous. Covid is literally the flu.
Believe all women.... until Joe asks you to be his running mate
Wasted data plan when listening to this woman.
Amongst other qualities, KamalaHarris lacks courage and the ability to think on her feet. I’ve heard more convincing read-out-loud exercises from second graders, though not from JoeBiden...
Gonna cry Kamala?
This awful woman KamalaHarris is such a nasty person!
I am speaking
Rabble rousing conmanist
And, you called your running mate Biden a racist too. Get real!
Q se mame una cabeza de Chaparro... VIVA PAPI TRYMP CARAJO ..MALPARIDOS HDP COMUNISTAS HAMBREADORES
Reuters fails to remind readers that the WHO has reversed course on lock-downs. Harris is unaware.
Reading a teleprompter. ✌️🐸
👌🏻
The problem with the left is, if you do not agree with their policies, you’re not civic , you’re not moral.
Five grades above his maturity and intelligence level...
Mr Sasse along with his GOP friends consider what 8th grade was like when they went to school not now.
How many signs from God do they need to understand that they are not supposed to jam a conservative into a liberal Supreme spot: Covid infecting WH and Prez, Senators, RBG’s dying wish, Graham saying “use my words against me”, McConnell laying precedent in 2016, Covid resurgence
What a dope
Which he clearly failed. Probably more than once.
Excellent.
Got it wrong. How pathetic
Bullshit
Yet if she’d just put her country ahead of her...she knows she wrong being part of this
But her publicized anti-abortion views should be exposed.
the most boring election between 2 aging geriatrics Trump is always ranting He went to the election with zero plan other than abusing Democrats He wants to dump Obamacare as priv insurers hate it
Trump or Biden? Weigh in & share
The republicans brought up Barrett's Catholic faith they have been playing victim all day because they said they would never confirm a judicial nominee during an election. They openly lied now they are trying to start a fight. ConfirmationHearing
Also if she uses it for her abortion case JoeBiden That is against seperation of state and religion and illegal bias for a court Next you do a muslim ? Idiot donnie , got hurrican in florida when he wanted to see his nomination for peace price and he told people in florida
Catholicism can only be an issue when the GOP brings it up. For reference, see Kennedy v Nixon.
Joe has class
Why can't some people process normal, ambient air? What sort of condition must one have to not be able to breathe normal air? Scary
They won't listen to you, Biden. You follow their orders.
Woah!!!!!! You edited out the Mormon comments after he answered the question. Be objective and not subjective reuters.
Funny how our system works. The only way the ACA can be struck down by the Supreme Court is if it is unconstitutional. Is it JoeBiden ? All the last congress and administration had to do was pass a constitutional bill and only the Congress would be able to change it.
Obviously.
Nobody should question 2000 years of the patriarchal Church of the Holy Pedophile
Sorry BUT no. Just as we question those priests. NOT ALL CATHOLICS ARE GOOD ONES.
Why does trump get to use America’s Air Force One for personal campaigning? Doesn’t that jet belong to the American people? I know I don’t want my tax dollars to pay for his campaign. AirForceOne
EndSARS SARSMUSTEND
The Dems are famously uncivil and egregiously obnoxious when it comes to Supreme Court confirmations, so they needed to be called out.
He’s saying we haven’t even met the most basic tenets of civics! He knows it’s simplistic, but we’re not are not even upholding those anymore! It’s all politics!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Civics is what you lecture your opponent with when you have the number and power to beat your opponent.
he should take it again
Speaking to the trump base in a way they can understand.
She’s despicable
'Courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life. The policy decisions & value judgments of government must be made by the political branches elected by & accountable to the People' Said the nominee whose appt COULD NOT BE ANY MORE POLITICAL
BenSasse have you had this conversation with the leader of your party? Do that first and then lecture the rest of us in civics. Coward.
Uh huh. Are you telling me this group of Republicans actually cares about civics?
You lie about f* everything. That it was has changed. You lie more now.
I guess he wants 8th graders to know Freedom of Religion is more important than the Freedom to Protest so they'll understand they don't have either.
He also needs a lesson. What you confirm today will be with us for at least 40 years. Kiss Affordable Healthcare and Pre Existing Protections gone.
enlightening.
then senator Ben Sasse should talk to MoscowMitch for making this political! It is your party who is playing politics! then teach trump!!!! don't lecture us about it!
A 6-3 Court in a 3-6 country is extremely dangerous. They will regret this.
He spoke like a person who has heard the word Civics, but doesn't actually know what he is talking about
PROPAGANDA ILLUSORY NOMINATION: REPUBLICANS vs DEMOCRATS- The presidential election is too close for comfort, constitution, tradition, elections, people for the people.
This guy really needs different hair care products and a razor 😳
I taught 8th grade civics. He’s right.
Ben always knows how to stretch the obvious with his gasbag loquacious ways.
What the fuck does eighth grade civics mean?
Republican Senator Ben Sasse spoke about what he called ‘eighth-grade civics’...while demonstrating that he's around 3rd grade in the topic himself.
The government is supposed to do their job. Not allow politics to kill 200k+ and still have no plan... GTFO
Meanwhile, the 8th grade civics were only demonstrated by the SenateGOP - weird right?
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Amy Coney Barrett's mind is seriously corrupted by Catholicism which for 1800 years approves of slavery with tacit stoic political favoritism inside the church and denies the X-ray machine proves her and the Pope and everyone without a physical SOUL. I know the kind, mental.
'handmaid'
sick to my stomach, a traitor to us all
Yes they will, 1 year after the Dems take over, you will be in a 6 to 11 minority. And several justices will ensure her legacy, which you would otherwise undermine.
What's 'god' got to do with any of this
Every time all I can think is ...OZARKS
No one could ever take her place, but she took that place ..
AmyComeyBarrett should respect RBG's final wish. But she's too giddy and self-absorbed at the prospect of overturning RoevWade
Handmaiden hypocrisy
Remaining impartial is key.
Good to hear fighting talk from Biden. Heath care is essential to a civilised society. Focus on the facts and keep your goal in sight.
Nice handmaid outfit, Amy. Spot on.
Well done Mr President. Pound them lefties... 😁
Witch...with a capital B.
Shameful that she would accept the nomination under these circumstances.
We, all of us can not determine how she will vote. Amy Barrett is driven by the Law & the Constitution!! Is that what the dimwits are afraid of
Here stance on healthcare is irrelevant. Her opinion on healthcare law as applied by the constitution is what matters. Amazing a presidential candidate can’t distinguish the two.
As he continued his run for the Senate
29.8 million people would lose their health insurance if the Affordable Care Act were repealed. And 1.2 million jobs would be lost—not just in health care but across the board.| Economic Policy Institute
What about her view on the constitution?
Maybe Judge Amy Coney Barrett's should take the same stance as you Mr. Biden on 'packing the courts'. You will know her stance after she is confirmed.
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Make her answer for exposing her children over and over again to super spreader events! My kids understand what the word “essential” means. Amy apparently never taught that concept to her kids 🤯
JoeBiden, remember not to separate your faith from what you're trying to accomplish as a presidential candidate. The minute you put God out of the equation, your hopes are suddenly drastically diminished. Most important is to put God first, then politics second = Favour!
🤔Obviously Judge Barrett is personally waging war on all forms of healthcare everywhere! 🙃 If only someone could meme about this, like SenWhitehouse and his labeling of ACB as a metaphorical “torpedo” aimed at ACA...
naw they both should she is a nutter
