House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called Amy Coney Barrett “an illegitimate Supreme Court justice" during an Election Day news conference on Tuesday, just one week after Barrett was confirmed as President Trump's third Supreme Court pick.
“The president is installing an illegitimate Supreme Court justice one week before the election, after 60 million Americans have voted, who will dismantle the ACA, and won’t say, by the way, when asked, by Sen. [Dianne] Feinstein [D-Calif.], do you think Medicare is constitutional? She said she really couldn’t say."
The GOP-led Senate confirmed Barrett in a largely party-line 52-48 vote last week, with Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) the only member to buck their party. Barrett became the third justice confirmed under Trump in the past four years, giving conservatives a 6-3 super majority on the high court.
Democrats opposed Barrett's nomination while accusing the GOP of hypocrisy for pushing through the Supreme Court pick within weeks of the election after previously blocking former President Obama's nominee Merrick Garland during the last presidential election in 2016.
A Gallup poll last week showed that 51 percent of Americans supported Barrett filling the vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last month, while 46 percent of U.S. adults did not want Barrett to be seated.
Pelosi's comments come after the Democratic leader said last week that she doesn't trust the Supreme Court "one bit."
“I don’t trust the Supreme Court one bit,” Pelosi told HuffPost in an interview published on Oct. 30. “Even the court cases they have decided in our favor, they said they will revisit, and it’s just appalling.”
Shut up Peloser.
I love it :)
Call her names too Pelosi !
a lifetime appointment give her many years of revenge ;)
I know about an illegitimate Speaker of the house
Your days of power abuse are nearing an end, Witch.
A completely irresponsible statement coming from a person in her position. But then she's a Democrat.
I’m pretty sure her folks were married.
Pelosi need a debilitating but not fatal stroke. She needs the pain of not being able to do anything or speak any words.
The Geriatric Debutante is very much an illegitimate speaker.

Probably too much to ask... as I would be very very happy just to keep Trump and the Senate, but how amazing would it be if a red wave took the house back and swept her out of power!!!
Go get your hair done, Nance.
Too bad, so sad you crazy power-hungry witch. You have always been the problem, not the solution.
“...Pelosi belongs in a mental institution, not the US House of Representatives....”
That’d be a good start.
The vile demonic Botoxian belongs in hell with its Big Daddy, not the US House of Representatives.
“I’m pretty sure her folks were married.”
Possibly. Just not sure what species they may have been.
Yawn...

MAGA!
A fate worse than death for a blabber mouth dimwad.
Pelosi is irresponsible, juvenile, dishonest, and greedy. Other than that, she’s ok.
