Today's the day that Mitch McConnell wants everyone to know that the Republican Senate majority exists to steal court seats and people's rights not to help anyone suffering Covid-19. It's really the most honest thing he's ever done in his life.

A vote for Amy Coney Barrett is a vote to rubber stamp an illegitimate process, carried out against the wishes of the majority of the nation, against the backdrop of a deadly crisis that Senate Republicans have ignored as Americans have died.

Schumer to Rs: "You may win this vote and Amy Coney Barrett may become the next associate justice of the Supreme Court, but you will never get your credibility back."

"You may win this vote, but in the process you will speed the precipitous decline" of politics/Senate/SCOTUS

Schumer, looking over at GOP side of the chamber, says that when Democrats take the majority, “you will have forfeited the right to tell us how to run that majority.”

“The American people will never forget this blatant act of bad faith.”

Every single Senator who votes tonight to confirm Amy Coney Barrett is willing to risk taking away health care for millions of people and eliminating protections for pre-existing conditions.

Watch closely.

Robert, don't forget the 150+ federal judgeships that Obama nominated but #MoscowMitchMcTreason refused to seat. Trump bragged that he filled more judges than any other president. When being interviewed by Hannity Mitch did that evil laugh and took credit for making that happen.

Republicans blocked Garland for 237 days, claiming Americans deserved a say in who chooses the next justice.

They’re about to confirm Barrett 8 days before the election.

Democrats can decry the hypocrisy today. But tomorrow, they need to tell us what they plan to do about it.

Using the courts to entrench conservative power is literally McConnell's entire strategy and focus. This is some Grade A gaslighting https://t.co/kDBPtI1UWr

I cannot emphasize enough how much McConnell's actions on Garland and Barrett have radicalized Democratic senators.

As I've argued before, McConnell's single most consequential legacy may be what he convinces Senate Democrats to do: https://t.co/loRap0bV2z https://t.co/byejXlQh8n

"… whose nomination was advanced from the Judiciary Committee on an illegitimate vote taken without a quorum."

Fixed it for you, Tommy.

Proud to have signed on to this letter of 70+ science & climate journalists challenging Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation. Beyond the process being an anti-democratic sham, she's unfit to decide cases on the greatest existential threat to human civilization https://t.co/AmaFoUtawV

Let me put it as plainly as I possibly can:

If Democrats do not expand the Supreme Court under a Biden Administration, we will gravely harm our planetary chances of maintaining a habitable world in our lifetimes.

It's that big of a deal.https://t.co/Ugc0QJsm6z

You may not have heard of Leonard Leo, but he's the man behind all three of Trump's Supreme Court picks.

And we just discovered a secretive $80 million group he's behind. https://t.co/Ge8RlMMuib

"I totally understand the issue of holiday hunger. The debate is how do you deal with it."

Did you forget the debate we already had on how to deal with it in Parliament last Wednesday @BorisJohnson? You and your MPs voted against feeding hungry kids.https://t.co/Ko85pxIyCs
