Schumer: "Today, Monday, Oct. 26, 2020, will go down as one of the darkest days in the 231 year history of the United States Senate."
Schumer: "Let the record show that the American people, their lives and rights and freedoms, will suffer the consequences of this nomination for a generation."
Schumer: "The first lie is that the Republican majority is being consistent.. What rubbish. After refusing a Democratic nominee to the Supreme Court because an election was eight months away, they will confirm a Republican nominee before an election that is eight days away."
Schumer to Rs: "You will speed the precipitous decline of faith in our institution, our politics, the Senate and the Supreme Court. You will give an already divided and angry nation a fresh outrage and open a wound in this chamber that will take a very long time to heal."
Schumer reminds McConnell he told Democrats "you may regret this a lot sooner than you think" when they ended lower court filibusters. Schumer says: "I would change just one word. My colleagues may regret this for a lot longer than they think."
