Walter Shaub: Amy Coney Barrett's qualifications are irrelevant.



Tweet text: Amy Coney Barrett’s qualifications are irrelevant. Her willingness to accept the nomination under these circumstances reveals a disqualifying lack of character.

In fact, anyone accepting a judicial appointment from this treasonous fraudster declares themselves unfit for the bench merely by doing so.

Personally, I would like to see wholesale impeachments of recent judicial appointees, on the charge of having accepted office from a criminal. A fact which can neither be denied nor excused, so there is no grounds on which to rest acquittal. I doubt we will see this, even if we had two thirds of the Senate, but it would be the proper course. Everyone this wretch has appointed needs to be dismissed, and barred from ever again holding any Federal office. Not one of them is worth the price of the oil to fry them in Hell.

Outcome from 2016. This sets direction for 10 years. Unless democrats win the Senate and a very difficult decision would have to be made to add 4 more SC judges. The margin of the outcome will have all the influence on that. If we pick up 7 or 8 senate seats, retain or add to the lead in the House and Biden pulls off a landslide. If those things happen it's a clear mandate and democratic leadership better act on it
