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: āI interpret the Constitution['s ...] text as text, I understand it to have the meaning that it had at the time people ratified it.ā

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

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.

LOL. Every single thing Republicans have done in the last fifty years has been in response to the Warren court recognizing that white men aren't the only ones with rights. They created an entire cottage industry of dark money orgs to fund their decades-long judicial takeover.
And they were extremely successful. Because they shattered every rule and norm along the way, and taught their constituents that nothing matters except conservative judges. There is no other Republican policy priority. They have a plan for literally nothing. Only courts.
Small government? Less spending? Strong military? Trump has given them nothing on these traditional R Issues.
But they cling to him. Because only judges matter. And on judges, he and McConnell have succeeded. Because there is no rule or norm they're not willing to blow up.

"At this unprecedented time, and while the nation is still mourning and paying tribute to Justice Ginsburgās tremendous contributions to advancing equality, President Donald Trump has nominated a replacement who would gut Justice Ginsburgās legacy ā¦"
"... and turn back five decades of advancement for reproductive rights. The Senate Majorityās attempt to bulldoze this deeply troubling nomination through before the inauguration in January is unconscionable ā¦"
