Schumer Declares ‘Today Will Go Down As One of the Darkest Days in the Senate’s 231-Year History’

With Judge Amy Coney Barrett all but confirmed, all Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer can do is complain about it on Twitter.

With all of his obstruction efforts exhausted, Schumer declared that “Today will go down as one of the darkest days in the Senate’s 231-year history The Senate GOP is thwarting the will of the people,

“Confirming a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court in the middle of a presidential election Democrats will never stop fighting for Americans,” Schumer added.

Schumer again today “forced a vote to adjourn the Senate until after the November election.”

“But the Senate Republicans voted to ignore—to laugh at—the wishes of the American people. We won’t stop fighting,” he opined.

Last night, Schumer announced, “Senate Democrats are taking over the floor all night to fight this sham process by Senate Republicans. We will not stop fighting.”

It has been reported that Justice Clarence Thomas will administer the official constitutional oath to Judge Barrett tonight if she is confirmed by the Senate.
