Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y, on Monday slammed federal judge Amy Coney Barrett, one of the front-runners to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court, by calling her an activist judge who could put abortion rights and the Affordable Care Act at risk.
Amy Coney Barrett is a judge on the Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit & on @realDonaldTrumps pre-approved list for SCOTUS. She passed his litmus test on overturning Roe v. Wade & striking down the ACA. Heres where she stands on Americans' big issues, Schumer said in a series of tweets Monday.
Barrett attacked the Supreme Courts decision upholding the Affordable Care Act, which has helped millions of people secure health insurance coverage. Barrett also fought efforts to ensure that all women have access to contraceptives, he said.
She disagrees with stare decisis the idea that cases like Roe v. Wade are settled law in the courts and instead has said she wants space for reargument, Schumer tweeted. The bottom line: Judge Barrett has given every indication that she will be an activist judge on the Court. If chosen as the nominee, she will be the deciding vote to overturn Roe v. Wade and to strike down pre-existing conditions protections in the ACA. #WhatsAtStake

Have to agree.
They will demonstrate what and whom they fear.
She must be the right choice if she gets them that flustered.
Bring it on, then.
She’s a mother of 7. Pretty sure he can take the heat LOL
Respecting stare decisis would have left “separate but equal” as the law of the land.
Thinking the same thing. He’s praying that he doesn’t have to try to fight her nomination.
More Attacking to make more people hate the Dems tons more
I hate the way they have stolen the term ‘activist’. Pure demagogy at work there.
They are attacking Barrett primarily because she is a woman- no sarcasm. They are misogynist? A woman is not permitted to be anti abortion.
Playing to their base. And to Collins. And to Cornyn.
Schumer says that like it's a bad thing. Weird...
Funny, Democrats are the activists in the USA. for them to call this woman “An Activist” show the depravity of the left
Replace RBG with her. We shouldn’t need any D votes after this falls YUGE RED WAVE. (Let’s get ER done!)
Not a Supreme Court justice. Not to them.
Dear Chuck.....you are DESPISED in 98% of our country!! ONLY NYers like you, you PUTZ.....and you KNOW the only reason they like you....RIGHT? TRIBAL!
Feinstein hates her
Schumer hates her
GREAT credentials..!
Queueing Samantha Bee, Joy Reid, Whoopie Goldberg, and all the other cats’ claws. Keep showing the American people that the #metoo movement is as phony as every other RAT cause, whose only purpose is the attain power by any means.
“Shes a mother of 7. Pretty sure he can take the heat LOL”
As a mother of seven (with one on the way) I can attest to this!
Awww....blessings to you momma!!!!
If Chuckie the Commie thinks badly of her, she is probably a good choice.
