Democrats protest Senate Judiciary Committee vote to confirm Judge Amy Barrett to the Supreme Court by expressing their discontent in an organized boycott. In what has by all accounts been a lightening speed effort by Republicans to swiftly ramrod Judge Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination through the Senate where the voting deck is stacked in their favor. They have wasted no time in taking maximum advantage of the opportunity. Little time out or political reprieve was allowed for public grieving over the loss of Supreme Court Justice and cultural icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A Supreme Court replacement was announced by Trump just a few days after RBG’s death and the nomination process begun almost immediately thereafter. It has just been a month since her passing and less than 10 days before the Presidential election. Today Democrats plan a show of force in demonstrating their disapproval of the Republican power grab in an effort to rouse public opinion that could sway the presidential vote and slow down the pace of the nomination process. Though it seems unlikely that will occur considering the momentum they have gained so far in relation to the nearness of the November election. Pray for a miracle. If you have joyful visions of an Obama court in the future.
