President Trump’s announcement that he would nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court immediately set off a partisan fight, with Republicans praising the judge and Democrats warning that she would dismantle health care protections. https://t.co/5aaFNBlqF1 pic.twitter.com/1G226cBQcm

I'm not watching the ACB coverage because it doesn't matter. She could stand on the table at a hearing and yell HAIL HYDRA and she's going to be confirmed. Vote on November 3 and end the ability of the GOP to exercise power for the sake of power.

Mitch McConnell has the votes.

There will be HEARINGS.

There will be TOUGH QUESTIONS.

There will be OUTRAGE.

And then Amy Coney Barrett will be a third Trump Supreme Court Judge for the next 40+ years.

Amy Coney Barrett is a Scalia protege, and even more extreme. My thoughts in ⁦@NYMag⁩ https://t.co/CRF2JLFwn9

Democrats pressing to slow or stop the advancement of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, are determined to frame the debate around the real-world consequences — especially on health care, but also abortion https://t.co/V1OnuVTLkC

By nominating a far right ideologue Trump is throwing overboard all R's in blue and purple states. McC is fine with that. But why would the sacrificial lambs go along? Ernst, Gardner, Collins, McSally, Sullivan, Perdue, Cornyn, Tillis, etc. – Most of you will be gone.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is going to be replaced by a woman who walked through every door that Ginsburg opened for her so she can promptly use her position to shut them all for others behind her.

It is so frustrating to see journalists, in this case CNN, treating Trump like a normal president. He lies about ballots in a garbage can cast for him, and no reporters say anything to him and CNN says nothing after he is finished. It is sheer journalistic malpractice.

I heard about this a few hours ago. As no doubt did @BorisJohnson – ‘Bloody hell Dom, quick, brief @thesundaytimes we are putting the Mafia in charge of the police.’ ‘They won’t do it.’ ‘Oh shit. Call Dacre then.’ https://t.co/hrDAmp0fx7

Looks as if Boris Johnson’s plan is to limp on to a very poor Brexit deal, quit claiming triumph and glory and leave a successor to deal with the economic slump and Covid catastrophe he ordained. Such a craven exit would be typical of our worst-ever PM
