Pressed on any preconceived opinions of the False Claims Act and portions protecting whistleblowers, Amy Coney Barrett says she doesn't 'recall ever speaking about the False Claims Act or the constitutionality of the qui tam provisions.'

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the committee's top Democrat, followed up on the doctrine of severability, central to the Affordable Care Act case being argued before the Supreme Court on Nov. 10, asking Barrett for her definition of it.

"Insofar as it tries to effectuate what Congress would have wanted, it's the Congress and court working hand in hand," she said.Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett listens during a confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Oct. 14, 2020, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Feinstein said she was"impressed" at the response -- but when they moved along to voting rights, the senator was not satisfied with Barrett.Feinstein raised Justice Scalia’s questioning during oral arguments in the 2013 case Shelby County V. Holder in which he questioned strong congressional support for re-enactment of the Voting Rights Act.

Thank you for showing your hypocrisy

One of the biggest crooks around! Says he loves America, 😂🤣🤥. Why is this low IQ in charge here? Well look who he & his buddy DJT selected! Nice Mom, but not a SCJ!!

Love Graham

It's so sad to see the republicans think they care about us people they only care about their own gains not us the American people

Do your best graham the American People are voting, the jig is up, the con is over. The people see the Fascist Party is over. The Lincoln Project and the common sense of Americans is winning. Your little cult member might win the Vote but she won’t last in scotus

As if I trust Lindsay Graham’s gauge to what a good person is. Pffffffttttt!

Graham is a stooge. Hasn't had a sane thought since 2015.

Seriously in need of a lobotomy

Et quand allez-vous retirer le STUPID KAMAL-KISHKA-GLIST?

I hope his bags are packed.

What a disgusting politician

Explaining pure racism by running directly to the sarcasm card. Sad. Come on man - racism is not to be joked about. Graham made a racist statement. Own it. You know who doesn’t need to use excuses like joking or sarcasm for racist statements - non racists. It is what it is.

OpEd: LindseyGrahamSC this SCOTUS “Hearing” is BS but by conducting this sham where your nominee AmyConeyBarrett being pushed thru & refusing to answer questions lets Americans witness more of the antics promulgated by the Trumpicans (formerly AKA Republicans) PS GetTested

No audio‼️

Sweating like a man with Covid

Now let's go to porky's

Meanwhile hunter Biden has been brokering business man to his father when he was VP

You are a JOKE. Big time!!!

VoteBidenHarris2020

Disgusted with this man. VoteJaimeHarrisonSC

🐳💩

Rushing through an unqualified candidate for selfish self serving reasons is totally on brand for this GOP. If she’s a viable serious candidate she would insist on waiting for the election to be over.

VoteHimOut

Let’s be clear- incredible (adj): impossible to believe.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Patient? This is the quickest confirmation in history. lol rubberman redneck

He looks like that guy who taps the foot of another guy under the bathroom stall in an airport

Unstable, Fascist Trump Regime Needs to ‘Go Home’, Be that to Mental Facility or Prison ‘WALLS’ to Roam! We, the People’s Health & Livelihoods Sacrificed, & Rational Would Think That Sufficed! But, Reckless Narcissist & Minions Send, US Family Members & Friends to Life’s End!

what horrible human being

Sweating much? Hell will be even hotter, Senator.

votehimout

Not too condescending. He needs a new job.

Graham; everything that’s wrong with Congress.

Why do I feel like I need to get a shower every time I see him speak?

WTF?!!! This is some seriously 😳 fucked up shit!!!

There is no rock under which shameless Republicans can hide.

On behalf of my fellow Americans kiss our ass

Says the man who told 1/2 of Americans to kiss his ass.

Time to go Lindsey VoteHimOut

Days are numbered

It astounds me how senators ,who are reasonable people could possibly confirm someone who is science illiterate

Complete scum

He absolutely disgusts me! 🤮

Amy Barret is holding her ground FIRMLY on the 2nd day of grilling, particularly by Dems on ACA, Roe, IBF, Racism, Voting Rights, Guns ... Her smart answers, dodging of future rulings, judicial knowledge - have impressed ALL; a great replacement for RBG !

🖕

Opining for those “good old days” Lindsey?

JaimeHarrisonforSenate

Big date tonight LadyGraham ?

Know that she doesn’t answer questions that she is a puppet

Yuk yuk and yuk!!

With his “good ole days of segregation” bullshit...

What would he know about dignity

Saying, in a nutshell: What a waste of our fucking time, now let's get this Dingbat on the Supreme Court.

I'll try to remember this for you on election night when Jaime Harrison takes your seat Lindsey dear. 'It's over...you can (cry into) two glasses of wine tonight if you'd like.' 🤣

She’ll check with hubby first

Rigged from the get..stack the courts

Hey Senator! She is a strong professional women, she doesn't need your permission to.... Oh wait,, never mind....

Well, thank you for permission

The face of a true coward and scum of America.

Lady G is a c*nt

So, did she even need to show up at all? Seems the GOP'ers were going to just approve her anyway.

such a shame

Thank you Senator Graham for taking away this countries healthcare and the ability to have pre existing conditions covered. I hope you are out of office very soon!

Gee thanks Linds. Sit back, put your feet up and sleep well tonite that you will set back feminism 50 Years.

Sweaty Lyndsey, hopefully your time is over too.

Here is what I say to Lindsey Graham and every GOP Senator who has enabled and supported Donald Trump-“You have betrayed your oath to the constitution, to your constituents and to America”. “You are not fit or decent to represent this country!” “You will be judged as traitors”

I wouldn’t have thanked SenKamalaHarris or maziehirono, they both over speak Amy Coney Barrett and ask questions in a harassing way. Harris is the more rude individual, comes across as nasty and rude! Her responses actually make me sick and I would NEVER want that in the WH .

I hope he loses

She strikes me as a vodka or gin drinker chickenlindsey

Hey Lindsey you can become alcoholic November3rd It’s over!!!

hillbilly shit-pig.

Cuz Lindsey already had several during the proceedings.

Is he made of wax?

1776_CONSTITUTION 1A ARTICLE_6 FILLTHATSEAT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

He looks so moist. Does he have a fever?

He’s sweating like a pig.

Lady G is awfully sweaty today....Covid?

And he should have said thank you for letting me spend half my time doing a campaign promo

He’s yelling the democrats that they are fucking weak and the questions were pathetic..we got rolled because our public servants are shit. We have an 87 year old that was leading this fucking sham! vote

is this some sort of joke to you?

And we thank you, Senator Graham for the biggest con in Supreme Court History. And hopefully, the end of your career.

Merrick Garland

I keep thinking she is smirking... does she have a cold sore or a mole on her lip?

Sadly he’s going to be re-elected as S. Carolina just isn’t there yet.

My skin crawls just looking at this “creeper!”

Are the LADYBUGS on the butt itching?

Jaime Graham coming for you, Lindsey.

Jog off Senator.

LindseyGrahamSC owes the entire population a thanks for being patient. We can’t wait to see him lose to harrisonjaime

JohnGormleyShow This guy is so dense in his line of questioning. The honorable judge is very clear it would be inappropriate for make a statement on previous rulings. This woman is brilliant and the correct nominee for the seat. End tweet

Judge Barrett is too intelligent to take the bait.

She should say.... excuse me but I am speaking. Guy is an A**Hat..

Avoiding the question... disgrace!!

She is making these Senators look like the fools they are. Dignified, intelligent and respectful. Words that can’t be used for many of these Senators.

Why are we even having “a Hearing “ ? She does not answer any question . No question answered . Just speaking English . I am just so tired.

If you VOTE change your profile pic to 'I Voted' in support of the 2020Election

She would write her papers on yes or no. Now she can’t answer?

'Maybe if we stop blaming and shaming, and start thinking and understanding, from a place of love, light and grace, we can get closer to a solution and see life's deeper meaning and lessons with more clarity.' Why 2020 happened the way it did -- ❤️

DEMOCRATS. YOU NEED TO STOP THIS.

Hi Amy, are you capable of making decisions? Because that's kind of the basis of this job.

Sen. Neanderthal doesn’t seem too bright.

I'm being considered for a spot on The Supreme Court, so I can't answer any questions on the Law for the American people.

He looks senile and really not understanding what his questioning her, that she hasn’t answered.

I say ohaaaaaa!!!!!!!

'Protect the voters choice'? Then why does she think it is ok to intimidate a voter?

It's a simple 'yes' or 'no' question.

We have a paid ticket for his ass to leave the country. ACB

Amy agent KGB

If Biden loses ( let’s just pretend here ) I’m sure he won’t contest the election !!

Feinstein, the Jewess hiding behind a pseudonym, is questioning Berrett's Christian Catholic religion for SCOUS. HYPOCRISY on a Biblical scale. And when you remind her of Jewess: Ruth Ginsberg,, She and every Jew would yell & blubber anti-Semitism..!

Why do they continue to ask questions they know a good judge will not answer.

What the heck is wrong with Ben attacking the HOUSTON Astros on the Senate Floor in front of the World! Ted does NOTHING & takes IT! We already know this hearing is useless & the Republicans have already decided to confirm Amy WHY WASTE TIME & Tax Dollars on this useless session!

she's right you know

This woman is dangerous.

Fiundwildproject

Kobluchar’s last comment was a direct snipe and should win ACB some more positive support .

That was telling

She can't give any opinions now and we know what her opinions will be when she can with impunity.

Why bother? She doesn't have to answer any questions because she's in . Republicans will vote her in ,just like that impeachment.

ABC FakeNews does not cover stories that hurt democrats.

She sidesteps constantly HandmaidAmy

Absolutely. And as long as you do and say what the guy that put you there tells you. 💩🐀🙏

That bitch is so unqualified, it's ridiculous.

John Cornyn is more disgusting and insufferable than Ted Cruz.

If she believed no one was above the law the Federalist society never would have chosen her

How the great reset is going to happen

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.

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)

It’s about the law when asking questions about law. It’s not about the spirit of the law.

She is pro-life and more dangerously PRO-TRUMP. Hey GRAHAM. LadyG YOUR SEX WITH MEN IN BATHROOMS NOT MY BUSINESS NOR WOMEN'S CHOICE IS YOURS ACB RuthBaderGinsburg WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION FOR THE NOMINATION..HER DEATHBED WISH. RBG BidenHarris VoteBiden

Right, because none of these people ever say one thing and do another!

Something puzzling me the last few days is the GOP exit strategy from Trump when he looses? I’m thinking they will leak all the evidence that exposes him as a Russian asset, a traitor and a crook! Wash their hands of him saying - well, we didn’t know he was doing these things!

Right, SCOTUS has no enforcement power. There is no policing force directed and controlled by SCOTUS. Although believed fake, a widely used Andrew Jackson quote after SCOTUS delivered an opposing opinion is “John Marshall has made his opinion, not let him enforce it”

This

TruthInFactsMatter She’s sitting there blatantly lying. No need for truth when you already know that your lies qualified you for the job! ATravestyToTheCourt

Another cowardly response by Amy Coney Barrett.

what do you do with a POTUS who behaves like he is

Can you say puppet?

Older then dirt

Lefties are lunatics

Let the research begin. Someone will find where she did. She too stupid to to think they already know when she did.

I think I missed the part where we don't appoint supreme Court justices in an election year didn't we just talk about this a couple years ago? You take a few weeks off from the news and all the rules change

She doesn't recall anything or have an opinion that she can share on anything. Why would anyone waste time watching this sham?

good

The genes have changed! can live to be 180 years old!🇺🇸👍 American Superman! Donald Trump!🇺🇸👍

He's also priming her for the future when eventually a congress will pass single pay Medicare for all.. which i believe will be rejected by the SCOTUS.

Do you feel in watching these hearings that because of such a hostile press, Republicans are far sharper and composed than their Democrat counterparts?

We are controlled by any laws in any countries we just have guns pointed at us

LindseyGrahamSC 2018, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “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'

If possible

It sounds like LG is leading the witness. The witness being a future scotus justice? Lol. Plus, did she just answer a question directly?

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.

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.
