  1. GOP has lost the popular vote in six of the last seven elections and yet appointed 15 out of the last 19 justices. Barrett would make that 16 out of 20 seats. The reason the president forgot to mention that (a) his judges cannot be permitted to be independent; and (b) that his judges tend to be wildly out of step with public opinion on so many of the topics he holds dear is that it would highlight what minority rule looks like, and why he cannot, in fact “let the people” decide with their votes in his upcoming election. A court determined to impose minority rule is in fact the playbook. It benefits big business, it benefits secret donors with considerable war chests, it benefits white supremacy, and it benefits Trump’s trailing electoral campaign. Quite simply, locking in the power of a minority through the courts is the political project of Trump and the Republican Senators who are equally eager to jam this nominee through before the election. Trump Kept the Quiet Part Quiet About Amy Coney Barrett The president introduced his Supreme Court pick—but stayed mum about the real reason he needs her.

  2. Amy "COVID" Barrett channeling Nazi Sgt. Schultz: "I know nothing...about systemic racism! Or, climate change! Or, sexual orientation, which I label "sexual preference!" Or, emoluments being corruption! Or, recusing myself for the appearance of conflict of interest! Or, voting rights being more important than gun rights! Or, Republican voter suppression and gerrymandering!"

  3. Voters should determine election outcomes--not corrupt hyper-partisan Republican SCROTUM!!!!

  4. Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Kavanaugh, and now SCOTUS nominee COVID Barrett were all Republican legal shysters working for Bush and the GOP in their machinations that led to the horrendous, undemocratic, purely partisan Bush v. Gore SCOTUS decision. Coincidence? Think again. The Republican fix is in for this election and any future contested elections for the foreseeable future. Bye-bye democracy, hello banana Republic!

  5. Bush v. Gore, Citizens United, Shelby County v. Holder, Rucho v. Common Cause, Chief Jester Roberts smiling and nodding along while presiding over sham Senate impeachment trial, Assassination Goon B.S. Barr butchering the law, slaughtering justice, politicizing and weaponizing the DOJ. So, now, thanks to conservative Justices on SCOTUS, we have partisan Republican judges deciding elections instead of voters; a return to Jim Crow laws promoting voter suppression; unlimited dark money in elections buying off politicians; a lack of accountability enabling the Executive Branch to blackmail and coerce foreign governments into interfering in our elections, severely degrading our national security; and legalization of even the most egregious Republican gerrymandering. In essence, a deck stacked heavily in favor of corrupt, racist, anti-democratic Republican minority rule over the majority. It's why we lost all respect for these conservative Supreme Courts, the law, and the justice system in this country. Congratulations, Republicans, on turning our nation into a banana Republic, making America an object lesson to the world on how to destroy democracy!

  6. Expand SCOTUS to FIFTEEN justices once Democrats regain power! It will be Republicans own fault for playing partisan power games, packing the Federal courts and SCOTUS with radical extremist conservative activist judges hiding behind judicial philosophies like 'originalism" and "textualism" to distort the Constitution and the law to benefit their bankrupt, corrupt ideology and corrupt government.

  7. Sen. Whitehouse has been the most effective member on this Senate Judiciary Committee nomination panel, exposing Republican corruption, dark money, and its ties to conservative justices on SCOTUS. The constant hyper-partisan decisions based upon contorted ideological distortions of the law by these Republican justices are destroying not only its reputation and stature, but also the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. Republicans have been taking a wrecking ball to long-cherished government institutions for decades, and SCOTUS is just one of their more notable casualties.

  8. Amy "COVID" Barrett: "Just look at my exceptional judgment taking all my kids to the White House super-spreader event in the midst of a deadly pandemic without wearing masks or social distancing indoors and outdoors--if that doesn't eminently qualify me to sit on Republican packed SCROTUM, what does?"
