'Shameful Power Grab': Democrats Boycott and Progressives Protest as GOP Vote to Send Barrett Nomination to Senate Floor

I have this sinking feeling that even then we will not put up a significant protest.

Let’s hope many, many republican voters get the lump of coal they deserve.

And what course of action do you propose when Biden and the dems undoubtedly ignore everything you just suggested?

Recusals should be voted on by committee, not be voluntary by the new justices.
You have to present evidence because these jerks are not forthcoming on their positions.

Now will someone with a microphone please OUT the little weasel Lindsay Graham as the deeply closeted gay man he is? They are anything but fair, anything goes, and they wouldn’t hesitate to use any dirt they had on the left against us. So help defeat him and flip the Senate and call out his gay a$$!

Who knows. After five pregnancies, Barrett could end up having a very short life.

  1. Tell the DNC and the specific Dems who claim to represent us that we are no longer registering as Democrats, but will support any progressive challengers against incumbent corporate Democrats. We should call these corrupt, corporate, anti-progressives ‘Biden Democrats’, descendants of the corrupt, corporate Clinton-Obama Democrats.

  2. Actively campaign for progressives to replace the ‘Biden Democrats’, as AOC replaced the corrupt DNC Democrat Joe Crowley in 2018.

  3. Write letters to newspaper editors explaining why we are no longer ‘Biden Democrats’ and why we are supporting progressives.

  4. Take over the Democrat Party the way the ‘Tea Party’ RethugliKKKans took over the RethugliKKKan Party in 2010.

  5. If/when that fails, support a TRULY progressive People’s Party to replace the current complacent, corrupt, corporate DumboCRAP Party.

No, but I did.

I think two main reasons are to blame. First, the Dems haven’t been putting up much of a fight.

Not only did Dems not put up a fight, they fast tracked Trump’s judges.

Good question! The one that is egregiously, evil; or the one that pretends to not be evil?

Barrett’s nomination is completely illegitement. It won’t even require an impeachment to remove her if dems are able to take the Senate.

A number of men attempted to out Lady G this summer.
There were emails and admissions from call boys who claimed to have been with him.
The corporate media refused to touch it.
The guy who brought forth the proof wrote on social media he had to quit because he and his mother had received death threats.
Use duck duck go and search for Lady G Lindsay Graham.

The senate run by Ukraine Mitch cheated the dems out of a SCOTUS pick. That was very disheartening.
Having reversed themselves to cheat again is unacceptable.

Hi Unmentionables:
sigh–has anyone ever shot a Supreme Court Justice? If not, it’s very possible that she could be the first—denying ACA, a woman’s right to choose in abortions, including many things that are of value to many Americans.
I did hear that she does not believe that many laws which help all Americans will stand. lf, Roberts true colors will show—I wonder what he will do? I suppose she could ruin the rights for many Americans, including gay people marrying and I heard somewhere she doesn’t believe in social’s security or medicare are Constitutional either-------------
Are religious school able to access pubic school money too? It seemed Iike Betsy DeVoss
did that. sigh---- 2 poletical parties are not enough—and no one should stay in Congress for life.

The elites have prospered under Trump’s new tax codes, as, unfortunately, they do under most regimes. I can do little to nothing about corporations stealing from this nation in this coming election. But I can vote for a better, certainly not perfect, candidate to replace the most unfit man to ever hold the office.
Progress is made in steps, as I am certain you know.
Step #1 see Trump out of office and on trial in NYState
Step#2 remain involved and continue to primary politicians who feel as we do about the corporate control of this nation. I took a long time to get where we are today, it will take a long time to get where we should be.

The GOP, Evil Incarnate.

the shameful part is the Democrats refusal to do any of the parliamentary maneuvers that would have delayed this nomination–the Democratic leadership that not only praised the Republican right but gave comfort and support to one of the very worst Republicans–the Repubs even made a campaign ad with the quisling claiming to be a Democrat while clearly acting as a Republican–why is this?? because the Democratic challenger is a progressive and the Democratic establishment hates progressives so much they would rather have a racist Republican in office than have a progressive voice heard

there is no salvation in the Democratic party --only more racist tools pretending to be the opposition while supporting the other racists and right wing corporations who have bought their loyalty–it would be pathetic if it wasn’t so dangerous

with "friends " like the Democrats who needs enemies
