Senate Dems blast ‘corrupt’ nomination of Amy Coney Barrett: ‘This entire process is illegitimate’

President Donald Trump on Saturday nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the United States Supreme Court -- and Democrats were livid.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) linked the nomination to the Affordable Care Act and the COVID-19 pandemic.

"A vote for Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a vote to eliminate health care for millions in the middle of a pandemic," Schumer wrote. "Democrats are fighting for Americans' health care."

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, ripped the nomination for coming so close to the election.

"No Supreme Court vacancy has been filled this close to a presidential election. The Senate shouldn't consider any nominee until the American people have spoken and the next president has been inaugurated," Feinstein wrote.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), who is the Senate's most experienced prosecutor, said, "I will refuse to treat this process as legitimate and will not meet with Judge Amy Coney Barrett."
