Kamala Harris said that Justice Amy Coney Barrett is illegitimate and claimed that Americans will not forget what the Republicans did. Harris made the statement through a tweet that she sent out after the Senate confirmed Justice Barrett. “Today Republicans denied the will of the American people by confirming a Supreme Court justice through an illegitimate process—all in their effort to gut the Affordable Care Act and strip health care from millions with pre-existing conditions. We won’t forget this,” Harris said in her tweet.

The Democrats are claiming that the Republicans are hypocritical for confirming Justice Barret when they refused to do the same thing for Merrick Garland, appointed by Obama during his last year in office. But it is within the Senate’s constitutional power to recommend or deny anyone for getting into the Supreme Court. Because the Republicans control the Senate now, it is within their rights to confirm Justice Barrett’s appointment. The Democrats will have done the same thing if they are in control of the Senate.

Other leftists suffered a meltdown after the confirmation. The left-wing anti-Trump hate group Indivisible, for example, issued a statement saying:

“Today, Mitch McConnell and his Republican cronies confirmed Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, tarnishing the legacy of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and undermining whatever remaining faith the public still had in the court as an institution. Despite Republicans’ attempts to obfuscate Barrett’s extreme record, let’s be clear: the Supreme Court is now under the control of six far-right ideologues who were chosen and confirmed not to administer justice but to administer wins to the Republican party.”

They are actually referring to Barrett’s belief as a Christian as far-right and are saying that her appointment to the Supreme Court is a threat to Americans’ health and safety. Nothing can be further from the truth.
