Democrats cannot stop Republicans from proceeding with confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Comey Barrett.But they will use their platform to knock committee Republicans who are in tight races, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) told NBC's "Meet the Press.""Take a look at the composition, the Republican composition, on the Senate Judiciary Committee," Durbin said on Sunday: Let's start with Texas. Senator Cornyn is in a very tight race for re-election. He's also in a state where there are 1.7 million people who will lose their health insurance when Amy Coney Barrett votes to eliminate that program, another 12 million who have pre-existing conditions. Now you just go down the table there.

I guess we know where Baghdad Bob went after the fall of Baghdad.
He immigrated to the USA and ran for Congress as "Dick Durbin".
What a Demon-Rat "wet dream"!!!!!

ACB will will eliminate all healthcare and abortion on her first day as judge/legislator, and will impeach Durbin and Pelosi.

It's almost beyond belief what Democrats have done to utterly corrupt Supreme Court justice confirmation hearings. People who have not seen the sane hearings of long ago, but have seen any of the insane hearings since Robert Bork's (1987) hearing, have no understanding of the immense scale of such corruption. Now Democrats are going to use Amy's hearing to threaten Republican Senators in hopes a few weaklings will either vote to delay the hearings until after the Presidential election is decided, or not cast their vote to confirm.

The democrat party is the party of fear. There is no optimism in their message. You will lose everything and die unless the vote for us. The bogeyman on the other side will kill you unless you vote for us.

Amy will appoint herself President and then abolish the Senate and Congress and do away with any laws she does not like. She will then rename herself, Amy, Queen of the World-Ruler of All.

What these hearings will actually do is show how intellectually bankrupt and politically impotent the Rats really are. After just a couple of minutes of listening to Yenta Feinstein whining and falsely claiming that ACB's confirmation would cause some woman in California to go blind, I had heard all I needed to hear and changed the channel

They spend their time not on improving America but tearing it down at every opportunity.

Democrats can’t win with this tack either. There is a history of their badgering Judiciary Committee members to cause trouble. However, Senate Republicans know that we are counting on them to avoid their usual screwups. Any Senate Republican who tries to sabotage ACB is dead meat politically.

Dear Mr. Durbin:
How did the disgraceful way that your party treated Brett Kavanaugh work out in the 2018 senate races? Namely for Claire McCaskill, Heidi Heitkamp, Bill Nelson, and Joe Donnelly.
I'll bet you miss them.

Durbin lost all credibility when he claimed Republicans have "packed the court" during Trump's presidency by filling District- and Appellate-Court vacancies.
Trump used his Constitutional powers to nominate judges and the Senate used their Constitutional powers to confirm judges, The Senate rules for confirmation were established during the Obama administration when Democrats eliminated the filibuster and allowed for confirmation with a simple majority.
Durbin refuses to acknowledge that THEY are now in a position that THEY established, As usual, Democrats refuse to take responsibility for their own actions.
Facts do not matter to Democrats. Just like petulant children, they act in any way necessary to get their way.
Grow Up Democrats! Follow the rules!

Durbin said on the Senate floor years ago about the ACA: "You can keep your doctor; we guarantee it. You can keep your health plan; we guarantee it".

Does anyone think that Illinois won't still have legal abortions even if Roe was somehow overturned?
Turbin Dubin is trying to frighten people in his State for no real reason.
Same for DiFi, the people in California will STILL have legal abortions available even if Roe is overturned.

As if they need any excuse to try to influence elections. The Durban is either an idiot, or just pretends to be one so he’ll fit in with Pelosi and company. Delivering on promises is the best way to get re-elected, not the other way round. Telling people not to vote for somebody because they will deliver what they promised is not a winning strategy. They’re getting desperate. Barrett is going to be confirmed. There is nothing to stop it including the election. This is the TRUMP end game. It’s checkmate.

Of course Democrat campaign ads are never true but some people actually believe them. I expect they will say many those crazy things earlier posters wrote.

Barrett is a constitutional jurist. As such, Durbin knows that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional and thus should and hopefully will be overturned by a constitutional jurist. I find it interesting that he admits that. As do all the Democrats who assume that ACB will vote to overturn Obamacare.

I’ve been watching the hearing since Amy Klobacure (sp) started whining. I’ve never seen a worse bunch of liars, whiners, and drama queens in my life. More important than that, they’re all as dumb as rocks. I loved how Sasse from Nebraska schooled them on 8th grade civics, and Hawley from Missouri let them have it about their lies. Democrats in Congress really are the dumbest people in America. I’m glad they’re making fools of themselves.

The hearing was on when I was leaving the gym this morning, and I read the closed captioning. Spartacus was informing Judge Barrett that 130,000,000 people with pre-existing conditions would lose their healthcare. That's when I left. It's just going to be another lieathon, with each dim inquisitor trying to tell a bigger, shocking lie than the last one. The whole world is seeing what a bunch of stupid people are running this country. There's a saying that could be the description of the dim party. "Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups!"

Heard enough. Just vote. Many of the Dems on the Committee didn't bother to meet with Judge Barrett. Just vote. Is there anything new to learn from her since she just went through hearings three years ago. So, just vote and get it done now. The Dems were so disgustingly disrespectful, they deserve no further consideration. They have proclaimed their disdain and intentions to vote against Confirmation. So, Senator Graham, please, terminate the hearings and vote on the nominee. Tomorrow. Just vote.
