Hey, we’re perfectly fine with every single Democrat stepping aside and making Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court as quick as possible. So we hope they all follow Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s lead and refuse to meet with Barrett. Blumenthal’s excuse is that he doesn’t want to lend any credibility to this illegitimate process. He must be going by the “RBG’s dying wish” clause of the Constitution.
I will refuse to treat this process as legitimate & will not meet with Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

what is “illegitimate” about it? does the president not have the power to nominate? do you not have the power to give advice and consent?

It's "illegitimate" in the same way the smears against Kavanaugh were "credible" and the nightly riots over the last four months are "mostly peaceful."

Dick (How fitting!) Blumenthal, a US Senator, apparently is unaware of the process and procedure of replacing a Supreme Court justice. I propose anyone running for Congress be required to pass a basic civics & government class

Good, you are not worthy with a meet with ACB.

This reads like a two year old having a temper tantrum.

Luckily the Constitution doesn’t give a damn whether or not you think the process is “legitimate”. It is. Cry harder Senator Stolen Valor.

More legitimate than your time in Vietnam assclown.

I’m sure she’s crushed.

Take your ball and go home then.

That will just speed up the process.
Thanks.

Dumbass.

Yawn ?…. We knew that & we don’t care.

Not certain how many people actually care what you say or how you say it. You are a pathetic excuse for an adult male and should probably go home, get on your knees and pray to your God for guidance.

As my representative, I ask that you vote to confirm this highly qualified and impartial nominee.
— Gregory Simones (@Greg_Simones) September 26, 2020
Thank you Harry Reid!!

This “illegitimate sham” has occurred 29 times in our nation’s history. I’d expect a senator to know this.
— thebeadedlizard (@thebeadedlizard) September 26, 2020
Which clause in the Constitution makes this process “illegitimate”? The President appoints, the Senate advises/consents as it sees fit.

The part that hurts his feelings.

I really find it hard to believe that if the parties were switched in the same scenario that you would oppose this.
— Scullery Maid (@kitchensinker) September 26, 2020
Oh please. RGB was confirmed 44 days before an election.
— Velvette (@Vel13587170) September 26, 2020
Tell me one reason this is unconstitutional?
— Lívia Mundim (@Livia_mundim) September 26, 2020
He’s voting no anyway, so who cares? For what it’s worth, here’s the rest of his temper tantrum:
I will oppose the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, as I would any nominee proposed as part of this illegitimate sham process, barely one month before an election as Americans are already casting their votes. Americans deserve a voice in this hugely consequential decision.
— Richard Blumenthal (@SenBlumenthal) September 26, 2020
Judge Barrett’s views would harm real lives—real people—in real ways, from children with pre-existing conditions to women who just want to be able to decide when & how to have a family. I’m fighting for them.
— Richard Blumenthal (@SenBlumenthal) September 26, 2020
Judge Barrett, like any Trump nominee, has already been vetted & screened to meet two tests: a commitment to striking down the Affordable Care Act & to overturning Roe v. Wade.
— Richard Blumenthal (@SenBlumenthal) September 26, 2020
Judge Barrett has criticized past decisions protecting access to health care, shown hostility to reproductive freedoms, & expressed a willingness to overturn settled Supreme Court precedent that does not align with her extreme views.
— Richard Blumenthal (@SenBlumenthal) September 26, 2020
If Judge Barrett’s views become law, hundreds of millions of Americans living w/pre-existing conditions would lose access to their health care. In the middle of a pandemic, rushing confirmation of an extreme jurist who will decimate health care is unconscionable.
— Richard Blumenthal (@SenBlumenthal) September 26, 2020
“An extreme jurist.” And this guy misses Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
