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).

#BlockBarrett
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). 🙃

While important, why are the MSM & @JudiciaryDems only concentrating on only the #ACA & Roe v Wade, when there's so much more to be concerned about.

Like why did #AmyConeyBarrett train people at an org designated as an ANTI-LGBTQ hate group?

We know she knew & got paid

Her issues involve her judicial philosophy & if she is able to separate her religious beliefs from her jurisprudence.

Though she has submitted to the precedence of the court it was only because she was not in the position to set it.

That changes w #SCOTUS
#AmyComeyBarrett has stated she does not fully believe in Stare Decisis.

In her current role she says she is not in the position to challenge it, but as #SCOTUS she says law can be overturned no matter how long standing, if she sees fit.

NOTE #AmyConeyBarrett is NOT a traditional Catholic. She is a member of People of Praise who have archaic beliefs for 2020.

Like
- Women should be submissive
- They're also ANTI-LGBTQ

She says these beliefs won't affect her decisions, but is that true?

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.
