Amy Coney Barrett's Sick Confirmation!

The Republicans are going to ram through Amy Coney Barrett. The former far-right law professor turned federal judge is having her hearing.

Folks, I hate the Blogger interface.

It's terrible and I believe my days here at Journal de la Reyna will come to an end soon. I will not tolerate Google's antics. I am so fed up with this new interface. It has deleted two of my most recent postings and has been very difficult to steer through.

Nonetheless I keep saying this.

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS!

BLACK LIVES MATTER

PROTECT BLACK WOMEN! 

HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!

VOTE 🇺🇸

Welcome to day one of this shitshow. 

Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett is going through her confirmation hearing. It comes only weeks after Donald J. Trump nominated the Indiana federal jurist. It also was a confirmed superspreader event for the coronavirus.

It also comes as two of the senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin being tested positive for the coronavirus. Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina senator who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee refused to get tested for the coronavirus. He is facing a political fight for his life. 

A few years ago, Graham stated that a Supreme Court nominee in election year should be decided by the voters. He along with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky about-faced on it. Barrett, the third Supreme Court nominee from Trump will likely be confirmed by most of the Senate Republicans. 

Democrats have said that Republicans are shameless hypocrites for trying tor pack the courts with far-right inexperienced federal judges. Barrett, 48 is the mother of seven who is a federal appeals judge who is far-right. She is likely going to be the deciding factor in rolling back Supreme Court decisions settled. 

At 9:00am, the Republicans gathered to greet the jurist and of course, Lee who tested positive for the coronavirus came to the Senate for the hearing. With that being said, he and Graham were spotted around Iowa senator Chuck Grassley. 

It's a travesty. 

Amy Coney Barrett is polled negatively. Many Americans believe her confirmation should wait.

Republicans have not passed any stimulus for the millions of Americans who out of work due to the coronavirus. They're more concerned with confirming a federal judge to the Supreme Court than trying to help Americans from losing their loved ones, homes, health insurance and employment.

The Republicans spent a majority of their campaigns trying to distance themselves from Trump and white nationalism. Of course, they're trying to throw a distraction. Now that Barrett is going through her first hearing, the whisper campaign is that Democratic nominee Joe Biden and running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) are going to "pack the courts" with progressives. 

This is the Republican desperation talking point. Given that they denied Barack Obama, federal judges and a Supreme Court nominee named Merrick Garland, their newest talking point has now being flatten by an interview McConnell made with Sean "Softball" Hannity.

FLASHBACK —

HANNITY: “I was surprised Obama left so many judge vacancies.”

MCCONNELL: “I’ll tell you why- I was in charge.”

The ridiculousness is so apparent. Trust me, if you care about the future, you're not going to find it within the Republican Party and Donald J. Trump. They are not for progress. They are supporters of the status quo and white nationalism. You better vote or we'll have Trump in the White House for a second term and he has signalled he will no longer obligate to term limits.
