Only a handful of Democrats were able to make opening statements Monday, leading into confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett, whom President Donald Trump nominated to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) made the most of his precious few minutes.In a statement made directly to Barrett, Leahy told the Supreme Court nominee — a law professor, federal Circuit Court judge, wife, and mother — that confirming her to the highest court in the land would be “harmful” to women.“I’ve heard from them often and loudly since Justice Ginsburg’s passing,” Leahy began “They’re scared that your confirmation would rip the healthcare protections that

Sure! Leaky Leahy!! Every woman believes an octogenarian old fool insulting an intelligent woman. And the media lets him get away with it. Had this been a GOP senator, the wrath of every liberal would have been on him.

If ACB has a chance to respond, she should simply ask: How would I be bad for women? What rulings have I made that make you say that I would be bad for women, healthcare, Roe V Wade, the environment, and you laundry list of scare claims? What rulings have I made that say I would be anything but a fair Supreme Court Justice who bases decisions based on the laws as written, not as you want them to be? Leahy and the rest of the Democrats would sit there with druel coming out of their open mouths unable to give a coherent answer.

How did we ever get to the point that a public figure can stand up in public and insinuate killing unborn children is good for women? I don't know these monsters came from but I do know where they're going.

Just what we need-Leahy telling a distinguished woman law professor that her appointment to SCOTUS would be harmful to women. Pat, who coached you to say that? They should have told you to abstain so your ultrapartisan stupidity wouldn't be on full display. At this point, pretty much everything that comes out of a Democrat' mouth is complete BULLSHIT.

Hahaha he means harmful to his mental health. ACB will empower women. She will be a role model for mothers working moms and wives all across the country. Especially a role model for Christian women. That’s what’s harmful for democrats.

This senile old coot has no business lecturing anyone about anything. He should have been gone 20 years ago.

Correct response is along the lines of.... I will rule based on the meaning of the Constitution as written and amended. Women would only be harmed if the Constitution is harmful.

Leahy is so dirty that nobody listens to him. We are done here, so move the confirmation to the floor.

Yes, Leahy, women want abortion. If they didn't, you would not support it. It has nothing to do with population control or "those people we don't want too many of."

I heard that fossilized jerk Leahy this morning . He said he has been in the senate for 46 years! 46 friggin years! He should hang his head in shame for stealing from the American taxpayer. Resign now! You've done enough harm!

A man telling a woman she is harmful to women - and there you have the textbook definition of "mansplaining."

If Leahy really believes she will overturn the R vs W law, he must believe it is an illegal law because Amy believes that a Judge has to go by the law not a political agenda.

I fondly recall the words delivered to his face by VP Cheney about 15 years ago.
Can't repeat them here though.

I don't know if anyone has gone to court to end Roe V Wade based on the 10th amendment. It's up to the states to decide such things.
But then the feminazis will have to fight it out in each state. It had been easier to just get a decision from the federal government than to go to each state.

Less than 600,000 people have inflicted this creature on the nation for decades. Isn't there ONE resident of VT smart enough to out campaign this jerk? If not, why isn't there at least one person in the country willing to move to VT and unseat him or the communist Sanders? You would think challenging a 'socialist' with 3 nicer than average homes would be enough of a start to get voters attention.

How does Leahy know, as he is hiding in his basement in rural Vermont?
