Within minutes of President Trump nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, top Democrats Joe Biden, Adam Schiff and Chuck Schumer launched attacks on her on Twitter.
Joe Bidne wrote “Today, President Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court — a jurist with a written track record of disagreeing with the Court’s decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act.
Vote like your health care is on the ballot — because it is.”

Adam Schiff wrote “Here’s why Republicans are rushing Amy Coney Barrett into a lifetime appointment: So she can strike down healthcare and overturn Roe v. Wade. Republicans also fear they’re losing the election and want her to deliver the election for Trump. No confirmation before inauguration.”
Chuck Schumer wrote ” A vote for Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a vote to eliminate health care for millions in the middle of a pandemic. Democrats are fighting for Americans’ health care.”
