Democrats are losing the battle to block a qualified and honorable appointment to the Supreme Court. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination, and she will now move to the confirmation phase on the Senate Floor.
Democrats on the committee ‘boycotted’ the vote, however, Barrett is expected to be confirmed next week by a ‘narrow’ majority.
Instead of appearing at the hearing, Democrats placed pictures of Americans who would be affected if the high court strikes down the Affordable Care Act. A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 10, and the Trump administration is backing efforts challenging the health care law.
[Many Americans hate Obamacare, and have been fighting its stupidity and unconstitutionally for years.]
Democrats on the Judiciary said that they decided to boycott the hearing because they did not want to “grant this process any further legitimacy by participating in a committee markup of this nomination just twelve days before the culmination of an election that is already underway.”
[However, their non-participation doesn’t actually have anything to do with the “legitimacy” of the confirmation, since the Constitutional process was followed perfectly.]
In 2016, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to bring President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee to the floor, arguing that it was too close to the election and that the next president should decide.
[Of course, McConnell had the majority at that time, and his action was correct, something that democrats seethe over.]
If Barrett is elevated to the court, conservatives will solidify their majority. Six of the nine justices will have been appointed by Republicans.
