It’s no surprise: Judge Amy Coney Barrett has been on the shortlist of candidates for the Supreme Court for a while, and she and her family seemed to be up to something earlier today:

Catholic mother driving her husband and seven children to the White House in a Honda minivan so she can be nominated to the Supreme Court is literally the coolest thing I've ever seen.

And here it is.

“I love the United States and I love the United States Constitution,” says Judge Barrett, before moving quickly to honor Justice Ginsburg.

Barrett is a mother of seven. Pres Trump says that if confirmed, she would be the first mother of school-age children ever to serve on the Supreme Court. At 48, should would also be the youngest member of the current Court. pic.twitter.com/aZWjs1rFvs

This is what America looks like. We should celebrate this family and not try to destroy this family of love, faith and passion.

Graham: As the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I’m very committed to ensuring that the nominee gets a challenging, fair, and respectful hearing. We move forward on this nomination knowing that the President has picked a highly qualified individual

Cry harder, libs:
Schumer: By nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, President Trump has once again put Americans’ healthcare in the crosshairs. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage, unabated by this Administration, healthcare was already the number one issue on the ballot
— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) September 26, 2020
Schumer: President Trump has promised to nominate Supreme Court Justices who will “terminate” our health care law and decimate the health care system for American Indians and Alaska Natives. In Judge Barrett, President Trump has found the deciding vote.

NEW: Joe Biden on nomination of Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court: "The Senate should not act on this vacancy until after the American people select their next president and the next Congress.” https://t.co/jNuy7DbN6q pic.twitter.com/ngvdofNL3i

Trump’s hand-picked successor to Justice Ginsburg’s seat makes it clear: they intend to destroy the Affordable Care Act & overturn Roe. This selection would move the court further right for a generation & harm millions of Americans.
I strongly oppose Judge Barrett’s nomination.
— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) September 26, 2020
Yeah, sorry, no. They should vote tonight.
The statement from @JoeBiden on Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination is 100% about health care and the ACA.
The key part: Barrett “has a written track record of disagreeing with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision upholding the Affordable Care Act.” pic.twitter.com/lT9teOMwQs

Good.
