Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court is a done deal; all that’s left is for Justice Clarence Thomas to swear her in tonight. As we’ve covered, Democrats have been making use of their time trying to paint her confirmation as the next GOP tax cut or net neutrality rollback: Armageddon.
Up to bat last was Sen. Chuck Schumer, who declared Monday “one of the darkest days in the 231-year history of the Senate” and said “generations of unborn will suffer.”
Schumer ahead of Barrett vote: “Today … will go down as one of the darkest days in the 231-year history of the United States Senate.”

“This resolution will go down as one of the darker moments in Senate history,” Jan 25 2020 – on impeachment vote.
This will "mark today as one of the darkest … days in the long history of this Senate." – Schumer, Dec 1 2017 on tax bill https://t.co/1cW6BHivx2

I stopped looking, but it seems every day Schumer doesn't get what he wants is the "darkest day" in the history of the Senate.

He’s nothing if not consistent.

It was bold of Schumer to mention generations of the unborn, seeing as what Democrats fear most of all is Roe v. Wade being overturned.
Chuck Schumer: “Generations of unborn will suffer from this decision [to confirm ACB].”
On the contrary: they won’t suffer
Because ACB will overturn Roe

Shortly after claiming ACB is radically pro-life, Chuck Schumer warms that the repercussions of this confirmation will be felt by generations of unborn Americans, apparently not grasping the irony of his rhetoric.

Schumer: generations yet unborn will face the consequences of this nomination
… Yeah, they will get to be born!

He's dumb enough to tee it up like that, completely unaware.
