Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer I am forcing a vote tonight to adjourn the Senate until after the November election.

The GOP in the middle of a national election is using an illegitimate process to jam through a Supreme Court nominee to rip away health care from millions.

Democrats are fighting to stop it. 11:10 PM · Oct 19, 2020

Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan 48-42: Senate defeated Schumer's effort to adjourn the Senate until after the election to November 9th unless a COVID-19 relief deal is reached because of Democrats' objections to the upcoming Senate confirmation vote on Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.

Dems have 47 votes, so 5 Dems didn’t even vote.

“what is sad is that he got 42 votes to shut it down”

ABSOLUTELY. Very astute observation, Secret Agent Man. Those names are so important. It identifies the subhuman depravity of a “government” at this time, in The United? States of America.

Great song. Perfect fit for the thread...our republic at this time in our history.

I thought it was 48 GOP Senators outvoted 42 Dems, with the remaining 10 either abstaining or not present.

I agree with your thoughts there.

She was cute in her high school photo, but not overly so >
IMO. Still, when some young women animate, that’s when
they really shine.

I like her and her husband’s family ethic.

”She really is a wonderful person. She makes all of us better watching how she has comported herself throughout her life.”

Now I wish the Supreme Court had cameras, because after being briefly introduced to her I can’t imagine not being able to hear her again, unless she does an interview somewhere along the line. She’s so calming, I could listen to her talk every day. I can also see why she was such a popular law professor.

They’re not resisting much because they know they’ll be expanding the court next year, or in five years.

Will improve looks of the Female Justices a little bit.

Say 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000x or so.

Sounds to be a prime opportunity for President Trump’s first recess appointment.
What is it 7 years and counting now for the interval since last occurrence?

Why do a recess appointment when we are winning?

LOL

And I think it will increase their legal intellect by about
that much.

I’m not certain of this, but I do believe one of the current
women, possibly both, were not judges prior to their
court appointments.

Boy is she a hot SC pick.

My God, is it true?

Are looks the first thing we men look at no matter what the situation?

This will be the first time in history that I look forward to seeing the First Lady AND a SC case.

Hypocrisy, chronic lying, treason, etc. are 2nd nature, automatic habits of the destroyers of the USA.

She’s not just the most amazing nominee for the SC I’ve ever seen, but (as we’ve all noticed) she is just one of the most remarkable people in general. I’ve never witnessed anyone in Washington who came across as so brilliant, yet completely down to Earth, relaxed, kind, and genuinely friendly as Amy Coney Barrett does. She’s a true star, and I have a feeling that her intelligence, combined with her engaging personality, will influence her fellow justices in ways we can’t yet imagine. If nothing else, I hope she has a positive effect on Roberts.

Hear hear!

Though she will not have a positive effect on Roberts. Roberts has clearly sold his soul to the devil--maybe literally. Either his chances for changing course & being redeemed are dwindling fast or are already past. And he seems clueless about his plight.
