Vambo Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 5 hours ago, Browns149 said: His facts are wrong. She was nominated on Sept 26 and confirmed on Oct 26 That’s 30 days, and he even got the 38 days part wrong. On September 26, 2020, President Donald Trump announced the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States to fill in the vacancy left by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. At the time of her nomination, Barrett was a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The Senate received word from the president (when a Supreme Court nomination becomes official) on September 29.[1] President Donald Trump with Amy Coney Barrett and her family, just prior to Barrett being announced as the nominee, September 26, 2020 On October 26, the Senate voted to confirm Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court, with all but one Republican voting in favor and all Democrats voting against; Barrett took the judicial oath on October 27.[2]Democrats rebuked Republicans, stating that they had violated a precedent they established in 2016 when they refused to consider President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland more than nine months before the end of his term, and accused them of hypocrisy.[3] The 35 days between the nomination and the 2020 presidential election marked the shortest period of time between a nomination to the Supreme Court and an election in U.S. history.[4][note 1] Was it legal and by the constitution?

calfoxwc Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 as usual, the left would be defending a new ginsburg justice if it only took 3 days. Any complaints about how short the time was, the rush....and they would scream "RACISM" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
