Joe Biden said: 'The rushed and unprecedented confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett as Associate Justice to the Supreme Court, in the middle of an ongoing election, should be a stark reminder to every American that your vote matters.'

Donald Trump's third nominee was not in the chamber to watch the roll call vote, which allows her to join the eight justices on Tuesday morning, and potentially to decide on cases about voting before the November 3 election.

She was later sworn in as a Supreme Court justice on the White House South Lawn in front of Trump by Clarence Thomas

Faced with the prospect of a decades-long conservative majority on the court following Ginsburg’s death, the idea of adding seats to the nine-person court has gained renewed traction among Democrats.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris labeled the confirmation ‘illegitimate’, saying Monday: ‘Today Republicans denied the will of the American people by confirming a Supreme Court justice through an illegitimate process — all in their effort to gut the Affordable Care Act and strip health care from millions with pre-existing conditions.

‘We won’t forget this.’

She later tweeted: ‘Instead of working to provide COVID-19 relief to struggling Americans, Mitch McConnell and Republicans chose to jam through a Supreme Court nominee—when more than 62 million people have already voted. It’s despicable and they must be held accountable.’

A beautiful thought I saw posted on DM’s site which would be pure justice for America should it come true:

“Sortezlescannons, Bristol, United Kingdom, 4 hours ago

Be careful for what you wish for. If the republicans get in they may just take you up on your suggestion and expand the Supreme Court with even more conservatives!”

I keep hearing them conplain that this is some how, "unprecedented".
What was really "unprecedented" was the first time they "Borked"
a Supreme Court Nominee by "Borking" Judge Robert Bork.

What will they do if they get it passed to expand the court and then Trump gets to appoint more Justices?

To save America, eliminate our enemies. Destroy the Corrupt Democrat party.

Their goal is to transform America into canada or the UK or Zimbzbwe

They spit on Ruth Bader Ginsburg!

RBG said of the Supreme Court: “Nine is the right number.”

Oh look, the children are throwing a fit and holding their breath. Again. I never rewarded such behavior from my kids (and it rapidly stopped once they learned to control their emotions). We as a society cannot reward it when elected representatives engage in the exact same thing.
