The Senate is on track with a rare weekend session to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court by next Monday. Democrats decry the rush, but don't have the votes to block the installation of President Trump's pick before Election Day. https://t.co/YVV8uXHsRl

The unfathomable thing about the four justices siding w PA Republicans tonight: they would’ve stripped a state supreme court of the authority to say what the law is in their own state.

That’s way beyond right field.
It’s judicial activism on steroids.
If Chris Coons is saying yes, it’s going to happen
.@jaketapper: "Your mind is open to adding seats to the Supreme Court?"

Senator Chris Coons: “Yes."pic.twitter.com/6CChXidi3k
Climate change is a ‘matter of debate’
Um, not for anyone who actually who’s been paying attention:
Smart move by Senator Harris. Judge Barrett, who never tried a case, was so intent on lecturing a professional trial prosecutor about judicial canons that she didn’t see the trap until after she fell for it. pic.twitter.com/dg0LOOplmu

Sickening
I wasn't sure if I could get even more angry at how dishonest Republicans are being in this hearing, but then I did: https://t.co/jT3dnFpSFg

Pete is really good here
This response is perfect, and I’ve noticed on here the past few days that I’m not the only one Pete’s impressed in these interviews.

He’s right
Chuck Schumer is calling on Amy Coney Barrett to commit to recusing herself from cases involving the Affordable Care Act and the 2020 election if confirmed.

Schumer says Barrett has "serious conflicts of interest."https://t.co/GB6EFJTXg4
Schumer: “Democrats will not supply the quorum” to Judiciary Committee for vote

Your librul media
Short version: Our Very Brave Beltway Journalists are preening themselves over their demands that right this minute, Joe Biden disclose his plans on court packing AFTER THEY WATCHED REPUBLICANS DO IT FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS but don’t mind me, I’m just furious over the media compulsion to even things out by pretending Democrats invented partisanship.
In 2013 Cornyn declared Obama’s appointees to the DC Circuit to be “court packing” and tried to eliminate those seats https://t.co/kKjYBK98Y0 https://t.co/URJRBfoqWv

HANNITY: “I was surprised Obama left so many judge vacancies.”
MCCONNELL: “I’ll tell you why- I was in charge.”

So yeah, spare us your disingenuous Court-packing Pearl-clutching. pic.twitter.com/yX8gQATtja
NOW…. THIS is court packing. And, ironically, Republicans did it, as @aterkel reportedhttps://t.co/UjbPf8kby8

You have already packed the Court with incompetent judges and corrupt appointment processes. We will simply UNpack it and undo the corruption the Federalist Society has brought to the appointment process. https://t.co/YM6bq6SPNb

Hypocrisy comes so easily to wingnuts
I look forward to hearing Judge Barrett explain the hypocrisy that will permit her to accept the nomination after arguing Merrick Garland could not be confirmed to SCOTUS 8 months before the 2016 election because his views were too different from Justice Scalia’s. https://t.co/aG7paSkrGa
