Senate Democrats will BOYCOTT SCOTUS committee vote for Amy Coney Barrett and put pictures of people with pre-existing conditions on their chairs in protest at Trump nomination
Daily Mail UK ^ | 10/21/20 | Geoff Earle

Democrats plan to skip the committee vote in protest Thursday, but do not have the power to stop the nomination from advancing. They blasted Barrett during her confirmation hearings and showed images of Americans at risk if they lose Affordable Care Act coverage. Sen. Charles Schumer called her views 'out of the mainstream', while pro-choice group NARAL called for Judiciary top Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein to lose her post for showing insufficient fight in the hearings. Democrat's move is to deny quorum. It could force the panel to change its rules. 'I will move forward. She deserves a vote,' said panel chair Sen. Lindsey Graham. Sen. Mitch McConnell is planning for a Monday floor vote.

And get a load of this...

Coronavirus: Lung cancers "may have been misdiagnosed as COVID" during pandemic. Some patients who had a cough and could have lung cancer were told to stay home for fear they had caught coronavirus.

God is answering our prayers to help preserver this nation.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That’s how I feel about ACB. As for Trump, God blessed us with George Washington to found our Nation & He’s blessed us again with Trump, to give us a chance to save it.

To call one’s self a democrat, I believe they either have to be purely evil, or totally confused. My daughter who I love dearly married into a very, liberal family. Conservative all her life, then slowly pulled to the “dark side”. She now adheres to all the lock in step crap and my heart is broken, but what can I do? She’s basically brain washed. I mean, an unborn baby is now a “fetus” to her?! Our family had dirty, evil “white privilege”? Black Lives matter more than white? It boggles my mind and breaks my heart, but for those of you with loved ones in this state of mind, just pray for them. It’s all we can do. For the true evil ones in power, pray they are voted out!!!!

Since we can’t get our way, we are taking our toys and going home. You mean kids can just play here by yourselves.

Communist, rude, ungracious Democrats demonstrate their disdain for decorum because they do not have the power to stop the nomination from advancing.

Why do they not put on multi-colored scarves and kneel, too?

Employer health care cost coverage signup/renewal open season is going on now.

The PPACA Marketplaces open for signups in ten days.

Health care cost coverage can be secure by contract before the election.

Good one.... better to have a fully protected clean up crew remove the paintings and chairs for possible chinavirus contamination.

I have little doubt she will eventually move left, especially on issues of race if nothing else. She gave hints during her testimony.

There’s nothing Justice Barrett can do to stop in-womb baby murder in any state wishing to allow it.

Isiah Chap 3 Verse- 4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. 5. And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

Bible Prophecy in full view—idiotic children as so called leaders-—because the people are ignorant, foolish and elect these buffoons and totally ignore God—this is what you get.

I have the same problem. My oldest daughter who was brought up on Rush married a Bernie Bro. They have gone silent since basically the election of 2016 and I have to make the initiative to visit, converse. Thank goodness they decided NOT to have children.

The Judiciary Committee, which is controlled by Republicans, is expected to change the rules if necessary to recommend Barrett's nomination to the full Senate. Senators are planning a rare weekend session to secure her confirmation on Monday.

Does the Judiciary Committee have to approve judicial nominees? If the Democrats boycott the committee vote and no vote is held then can't McConnell still bring her up for a vote in the Senate as a whole?

That is what I understand also, 9:00 eastern. But I am sure they will have debating time allotted for the matter for a bit before they actually vote. Or at least they usually do... So not sure, we are just going to put it on and monitor it. Cspan should have it.
