In a Sunday-into-Monday display of melodrama — aimed, no doubt, at bringing out their base in next week’s election — Democratic senators gabbed endlessly in an attempt to forestall Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s ascension to the high court. But it was clear even Sunday afternoon that the end was in sight. “The Senate is doing the right thing. We’re moving this nomination forward and colleagues, by tomorrow night we’ll have a new member of the United States Supreme Court,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor Sunday, according to USA Today. Naturally, Democrats didn’t like that at all. Considering the disgraceful depths they have descended to when it comes to political battles over the Supreme Court — the attempted public character assassination of now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh is still an open wound for many conservatives — the party’s lack of self-awareness on the issue is almost stunning. Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut — one of the party’s most ludicrously partisan members — made his colleagues’ hypocrisy inadvertently clear in a Twitter post early Monday morning. “Just finished the 3-5am shift on the Senate floor in protest of the vote later today on radical Amy Coney Barrett,” Murphy wrote. “She will rule to invalidate Obamacare, causing 23M to lose insurance in the middle of a pandemic. Catastrophic. “Both sad and furious on my rainy drive home.” So now Barrett is radical? When a federal judge with a distinguished career as a law professor, spoken of highly by virtually everyone who has worked with her — not to mention the mother of seven children — is considered a “radical” by Democrats because of her fealty to the Constitution, it shows how far astray the party has gone from American values. That’s why many on the left have threatened to retaliate by “packing” the court with more justices in the disastrous event Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins the presidency, and it’s an excellent reason for thinking Americans to do everything they can to defeat Democrats on every level of the ballot. Fortunately for the future of the Republic, millions of Americans support Barrett’s nomination to the fullest.

It is a shame that Trump nominated a big government statists instead of someone that supports the constitution.
Right -- just like all Repub presidents. Dummacrats too! Oh but she'll do just enuff actual good in the court to ensure a historic legacy as a fire-breathing radical-right racist fascist extremist.
