We Read All 184 Pages of Barrett's QFR...We found evasiveness that spoke volumes and, with every non-answer, a confirmation of her record, the reason she was nominated, and all the harm she will do....we'll tweet out as many of the terrible answers we can.

Barrett would not confirm whether the circumstances of safely voting in the 2020 election are “substantially different” than a regular year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, or whether states have a responsibility to maintain access to voting. #BlockBarrett
Barrett would not confirm whether it is legal or illegal to vote twice in a federal election. #BlockBarrett

Today is day two of irresponsible, illegitimate Senate #SCOTUSHearings for Amy Coney Barrett, Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee.

REMINDER: Her MANY writings/statements over the years confirm her hostility to civil rights. She has NO PLACE on the Supreme Court.

.@LindseyGrahamSC begins the day with a 5-minute (and counting) diatribe on the apparent horrors of the Affordable Care Act.

FACT CHECK: The ACA ensures health insurance for 130 million people with preexisting conditions (including millions of #COVID19 survivors).

Graham asks Barrett to define her philosophy as an Originalist: “I interpret the Constitution['s ...] text as text, I understand it to have the meaning that it had at the time people ratified it.”

The Constitution's "text" codifies slavery (among other things). 🙃

Let me be very clear:

If you’re not pro-choice, you’re anti-choice. Full stop.

These people don’t shout “pro life!” in protest of gun violence, police violence, kids in cages, anti-maskers, etc.

1/
Do they adopt the kids they force people to birth?

Do they financially support the families who want to abort bc they can’t afford a child?

Do they fight to ensure the person giving birth can get the healthcare they need?

Do they fight to fix the foster care system?

2/
If they were “pro-life” they wouldn’t want 2 defund Planned Parenthood.

Don’t want abortion? PP offers birth control.

October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. You know what PP offers? Breast exams.

Here’s a long lost of some of their other services.

“People are scared for another reason. They know what a future without the protections of Roe v. Wade looks like because President Trump has explicitly stated he would only put up Supreme Court nominees that would overturn Roe v. Wade..."
"..He said it clearly. We should believe him.”

- Senator Cory Booker, in his remarks today as part of Judge Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation hearings for the U.S. Supreme Court.
If Roe fell, the harm would fall hardest on people already facing systemic barriers to care: Black and brown people, people with disabilities, people with low incomes, young people, those in rural areas, and anyone unable to travel out of state to seek access to abortion care.

Today begins Senate confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett, Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee.

Amy Coney Barrett’s record is filled with hostility to civil rights and red flags that should disqualify her.

And yet, here we are.

#OurCourt #BlockBarrett
As @SenFeinstein notes, President Trump has promised to nominate a Supreme Court Justice who would dismantle the Affordable Care Act and health care rights for millions of people across the country.

This is exactly why he nominated Amy Coney Barrett.

A friend from Indiana called me upset about the #SCOTUS appointment of #AmyConeyBarrett. My friend’s son attended Trinity School run by #peopleofpraise. Ms Barrett was Trustee until 2017.
Student/Parent handbooks contain anti-LGBTQ, anti-#MarriageEquality language.

Amy Coney Barrett signed letter entitled "Unacceptable," in 2012, attacking the ACA contraception mandate.
As my South Bend friend said, “It is hard to be part of such a small movement/cult and not agree with core positions.” #SCOTUSnominee
