Why are people protesting against Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barret
People are protesting her because they feel her nomination is the second illegitimate nomination Trump has had. When Antonin Scalia died in March of 2016 republicans broke 100 years of precedent and claimed 8 months was too close to the election to hold hearings and confirm President Obama’s choice. Now when RBG dies a few weeks before the election the republicans break with 200 years of precedent in holding hearings while people are voting.
These two “stolen” seats give Republicans a 6-3 Supreme Court advantage and threaten to repeal many democratic wins for the last few decades.
This will ultimately force the next dem president if he controls the senate and House to likewise break precedent and pack the Supreme Court to reverse the GOPs gains. Which has its own problems for the nation.
Some Dems are upset with the short sightedness on the part of the GOP which brought us to this point and are taking it out on the Jurist.
