      I will oppose the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, as I would any nominee proposed as part of this illegitimate sham process, barely one month before an election as Americans are already casting their votes. Americans deserve a voice in this hugely consequential decision.

      Judge Barrett’s views would harm real lives—real people—in real ways, from children with pre-existing conditions to women who just want to be able to decide when & how to have a family. I’m fighting for them.

      Judge Barrett, like any Trump nominee, has already been vetted & screened to meet two tests: a commitment to striking down the Affordable Care Act & to overturning Roe v. Wade.

      Judge Barrett has criticized past decisions protecting access to health care, shown hostility to reproductive freedoms, & expressed a willingness to overturn settled Supreme Court precedent that does not align with her extreme views.

      If Judge Barrett’s views become law, hundreds of millions of Americans living w/pre-existing conditions would lose access to their health care. In the middle of a pandemic, rushing confirmation of an extreme jurist who will decimate health care is unconscionable.

      I will refuse to treat this process as legitimate & will not meet with Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

          I would, just to ask her why she doesn’t think accepting a nomination under these circumstances isn’t disqualifying.

          I would ask why we have barely had a change IN ANYTHING IN YEARS. Why do I still need to talk about abortion but it's ok to be pregnant and birth a baby I might not want. Than I have to decide to raise and fund it. Is SHE GOING TO FUND THEM ALL?

          Thank you, Senator Blumenthal. I had no doubts you would not vote to confirm her. Please call and talk with your colleagues who may not do the same.

          That doesn't change that it IS legitimate, and honestly why is Congress permitted to be such lazy jerks.

          No, it isn't legitimate. The GOP is corrupt from the top down. Shame on you for defending fascism.

          I can't believe @SenBlumenthal is still around and not hiding in perpetual embarrassment, but it's amazing what you can do if you are shameless.

          I don't think she deserves consideration as voting has already begun and the seat should be filled by the new President, be who it may. But - everyone should have lengthy meetings with her to prolong the process as long as possible.

          We have a seated President and a seated Senate. They are, as Ginsburg implied, still in office.pic.twitter.com/D3etamxoXh
