Just finished Day 1 of the hearing on the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to SCOTUS and realizing that the Republicans are not being straight - either about what is at stake or the reality of these hearings. THREAD
There is nothing typical about this hearing. A closed-door, multi-day event during a deadly pandemic is disturbing -made worse by the COVID outbreak in the Senate. npr.org/sections/live-…
There is no precedent for this illegitimate hearing and it's tearing down our democracy. It has NEVER happened in the history of this country that a SCOTUS judge was confirmed 22 days from Election Day. The Court will not recover. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

-@senatemajldr Mitch McConnell, 2016

WE CALL BS on your hypocrisy Mitch. #LetThePeopleDecide
2016: @tedcruz: “It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an election year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an election year.”
2018: @LindseyGrahamSC: “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election.”

Reminder of what Labour manifesto said on Brexit (a short thread) #Marr 1/n
The Labour manifesto accepted the result of the referendum. It said quite clearly "Labour accepts the referendum result".
*But ...
It also opposed the terms the Tories were then proposing to negotiate for Brexit:

"We will scrap the Conservatives’ Brexit White Paper and replace it with fresh negotiating priorities that have a strong emphasis on retaining the benefits of the Single Market & Customs Union"
Boris Johnson's deal sets us even further back: it explicitly rules out the customs union that industry - business and unions - are absolutely emphatic that they want #Marr
