'We should be doing something else right now. We shouldn't be doing this. We should be passing coronavirus relief,' Sen. Amy Klobuchar says at Supreme Court confirmation hearing, adding, 'this isn't normal right now.'

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., fired back at Harris in his line of questioning, claiming that Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., had called Barrett a “liar” when, while she did not use the word, strongly implied that Barrett would not be impartial as she said she would be when it came to considering abortion rights and the ACA.

“Senator Harris just called you a liar,” Kennedy quipped back. “She said if you take that oath, you would be lying. That you have already made up your mind on how you will vote on some cases, particularly dealing with abortion and the Affordable Care Act. Let's cut to the chase. She said you are a liar. Are you a liar?Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the second day of her confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill, Oct. 13, 2020.

Seems to me the elected leaders of this country should be considered essential workers and do their jobs.

Damn, can’t they do both?

Just do your job and stop crying or get lost

What isn't normal is Nancy Pelosi and her ilk blocking the bills presented by the President to help the American people. NOBODY has done more for the American people than Trump. If you do not know that, READ!!!!

Amy, Amy, Amy, the ball is in SpeakerPelosi ‘s court

I agree

Since when is bailing out democrat politicians who spent money like a drunker sailor in a whorehouse, “coronavirus relief”.

Rumor is you can do both!

They can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.

Normal? There’s nothing normal about the US anymore.

Then go home !!

I call BS. What was SenAmyKlobuchar doing the previous six month before RBG died? Mostly campaigning for herself or Creeper Joe. If it was that important, she’s had ample opportunity to spearhead a relief effort. Now that she screwed off all summer, it’s suddenly a priority?

Then Amy Klobuchar should make that point to Pelosi

What a moron

Trump says he staved Suburban women in Pennsylvania yesterday! From what

You were awesome today. Thank you for cutting through the crap!

Sure it's normal for democrats to be trying to put off anything good that might happen to America tell Pelosi to quit using money as a tool

I agree

Amy got schooled

When you should’ve been tackling Covid head on in late January, you were instead hellbent on carrying out a bullsh*t impeachment scam. How many lives were lost bcuz Dems needed their theatrics? amyklobuchar you have no leg to stand on here & you’re clearly out of your league.

You should be doing your job!!! Hack

Then pass it.

“Queen Amy”

Here’s another clueless loser

I agree that Congress should not be dealing with the Supreme Court replacement! They should be working a relief bill for Americans! This Pandemic is killing people everyday! I don’t like this Amy Barrett she’s seems very cocky and that she judges people! I don’t like her attitude

Because SpeakerPelosi in the House.

Why does she always sound drunk?

Weren't they the ones that kept shooting it down? Well, Pelosi to be more precise

Agreed, finally something that isnt icky

It’s kind of a strange thing to say at a confirmation hearing. What does the corona relief have to do with judge Barrett’s ability to be a Supreme Court judge? News worthy, not hearing worthy..

So why didn’t she do that previously? Democrats have been sitting on the relief package for ages...such rubbish that these Democrat Senators spewing...

The one thing about Democrats... they are consistent... consistently disingenuous beyond words.

And Trump said yes to a relief. Pelosi said no, we must pack the bill. Trump said yes to $1200 per person strait bill. Pelosi said no. Who is for the people?

Then amyklobuchar get your ass in there and pass a law. Covid has been around since Feb. Nobody has stopped the Senate. SpeakerPelosi and HouseDemocrats can’t see past their TDS to pass a porkless Covid relief bill.

Tell it sister!!

I agree. We need to mask up and vote for decent and reasonable leadership. Help all Americans to thrive. =

Facts

Evil lurks in Minnesota It's name is Sen. Amy Klobuchar VOTE REPUBLICAN

Well here's an idea Instead of all the posturing BS & mini convention speeches,why dont you guys just ask some actual straightforward,relevant questions(maybe 2 or 3 ea to reduce wasted time)then move to vote. Then,w all the saved time you can pretend to do relief bill discussion

Like the way y’all conducted the impeachment trial ❓‼️ Big waste of tax payers money and time‼️🇺🇸

There is no Coronavirus relief yet

Well neither was bringing in a virus ...lying about it...fear mongering all in order to push for Vote By Mail to cheat at an election the democrats knew they could never win honestly. Nothing normal about the left.

But it is Constitutional... bummer!

multi task

You’re not normal!!!!! Go home!!!!

Amy get your Gucci boots back on the right side of the fence 😘

^^ see Nancy on Wolf Blitzer!!! He is RIGHT!!!!!!!!!

No Amy, if you cared about citizens you would have passed a stimulus months ago. Unfortunately Pelosi is an a-hole.

she got high

I know what ABC News and the Democrats in the Senate should be doing....

Barrett has had a look of guilt on her face the whole time these confirmation hearings have been going on. Anyone who has ever dealt with someone like her knows that look on her face, the “who, little ole me”, then when you give in to them, they screw the pooch. She had no morals

No hotdish for Amy. She is totally unhinged. Must not be getting enough oxygen through her mask.

These 2days haven’t held you up. Can you folks multitask in DC. Please quit crying and do your job...

Who filibustered the Senate discussion on additional stimulus due to covid 19. Senator Klonucher?

This hearing is the most legitimate, and constitutional process in this abnormal times.

Enough is enough. I do not forgive Trump killed over 220, 000 American people so far, and also I do not forget Trump did not pay his Federal Taxes for a decade. Please get lost.

I would think the senate could handle getting both of these things done at the same time. Oh wait. Senate isn’t even in session.

Anyone who takes this woman or Hirono or Harris seriously are either blindly rooting for their blue team or plain stupid

Meanwhile Nancy on CNN rejecting the plan. Lol

SpeakerPelosi had her chance. She put it off so take your complaints elsewhere

Someone has the right priority: Place People first

Talk to pelosi over in the House, won’t get done before nov 3rd

“I can’t pre-commit or say yes I’m going in with some agenda because I’m not, insisting: I don’t have an agenda. The canons of judicial conduct prohibit me from expressing a view ahead of time” -said Amy Barrett, an Originalist/Textualist like Scalia

I had a positive opinion of Amy Klobuchar. Until today.

amyklobuchar the only people to blame for not passing a covid relief bill are SpeakerPelosi and SenSchumer

She had the chance in September. She voted no.

Really, what about when all Democrats were totally focused last January, on the impeachment of President Trump instead of the initial outbreak of COVID-19? Relief wouldn’t be needed today if the they were doing their job

Tell that to Crazy Nancy Klobuchar.

Just do your job senator. 🙏Standard Senator Procedure. Stop winning 😁😬

She’s absolutely righ, vote RED

If I were to give you $10,000, what would you spend it on? Food? Clothes ? Your kids? Credit Card Debts? Student Loans? Family? Medical bills? Student Loans? Giving to charity? I'm gonna bless a few people who Like & Retweet. (Must be following me so I can DM you)

Hello,Jesus is the son of God he helped people doing his era now i want to share what God has given and blessed me with.I help people through there bills because I know the society at large needs help and that is what I’m making donations to people who needs financial support.

Why can’t yo do both you DoNothingDemocrat? Trump2020

Just do your job.

I find it interesting that amyklobuchar admits that big government is so inept that they can not focus on more than one imperative, but then again, it's not surprising.

The same Democrats who have been filibustering COVID relief bills are saying this? Come on...

Exactly, but instead you’re doing what the PRESIDENT wants to happen, not what the CITIZENS NEED.

Now we know why Nancy Pelosi is holding it up.

Tell SpeakerPelosi

GOP will go through nomination but not work to help the taxpayers who are in need at the moment because of pandemic. Good for them they are monied while the unemployed, uninsured & hungry just have to wait for a miracle?

Nancy refuses to send over a stand alone stimulus bill that is directly to the people.

Republicans gotta go! Your time is up... HAS been up.

That she voted no on 3 weeks ago?

This is a completely irrelevant question.

What is she talking about? Filling SCOTUS vacancies is the senate’s job. That is normal. What is not normal is Pelosi holding up virus relief to try to ram her pet projects through. Amy Klobuchar needs to tell Nancy to get her act together.

Multitask! DoYourJob

Well said

ACB

There is no normal in a Trump presidency

Well tell “her majesty” that they had days and days and days to get that job done but would not take out their pet projects to get help to the American people. Dems fault entirely.

We the American people are screwed due to the fact that the senate only has one thing in mind and it’s not us VOTE THE REPUBLICANS OUT!

So pass the 1.8 trillion and get Americans the money they desperately need

Amy: BS! 😜

Doing what? Add Barrett to the supreme court? What is Klobuchar referring to?

If only Nancy would sign the bill, then the Senate could vote on it and then get back to work! SHould take about 5 minutes - and oh, that would have been in like July!!!

Uh

Yes but Nancy and the Democrats refuse to accept the President's latest stimulus package. The Democrats are the hold-up !!!!!!!!!! TRUMP 2020

It’s weird hearing a mature adult speak in DC

She was horrible.

a sad sad woman....Minnesota sucks....the reason why they tore up Minneapolis is shitty leadership

Like going maskless to a hair salon?

You bums could have passed that a long time ago.

Oh yeah

Amy made fools of the Democrats.

Not normal because Trump nominated her? If it would have been Democrat’s pick, the hearing would have been normal to you right? Lol. Judge Amy is qualified. Over qualified actually.

She’s nuts. ACB is levels above this ladies intelligence.

Could of passed relief instead of taking your fall break too.

and if it wasn't so bloated it would be easy

A deadlocked Senate greets Amy Coney BarrettDemocrats blamed Trump and congressional Republicans for nominating Barrett against Ginsburg’s dying wishes and rushing the confirmation process in desperate hopes of winning a conservative majority on the high court. They have the votes. Lol Deadlocked? This is why we need to give the Republicans a larger majority in the Senate and the House. Nothing will be accomplished because the liberal socialist democrats will stop any thing the Republicans propose. After doing more research about yahoo I may change my email accounts.
