AMY CONEY BARRETT CONFIRMED TO THE SUPREME COURT. Democrats are frothing with anger

In the end, the Democrats, even with 100 complaints, did not succeed, and Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed by the United States Senate as 115th "Justice", judge of the US Supreme Court. With his appointment, the Supreme Court has a rather clear majority, of 6 to 3, in favor of a conservative vision of society and the application of justice.

A Trump victory and, above all, an indication of the solidity of the Republican party, a majority, but slightly, in the Senate. It would have been easy to "Convert" a couple of senators and block his appointment, especially since initially a couple of Republicans said they were sensitive to the words of the dem. Now on the left side there is nothing left but a foaming rabbi that transpires from the words of the Democrat Schumer:

“You can win this vote and Amy Coney Barrett could become a Supreme Court judge. But you'll never, never get your credibility back ",

On the other hand, when the nominations were made by the Democrats, there was credibility and the Republicans' response was clear and dry: if the people gave us their trust in the Senate, we use it to make the appointments. Having said that, now the most extreme wing of the Democrats wants to change the Supreme Court by increasing the number of judges and thus upsetting the appointments made by the Republicans. We see the position of Alexandra Ocasio Cortez immediately followed by another extremist Ilhan Omar.

The problem is that with this reaction a power defined by the US Constitution is brought into play: in fact it is this that defines the powers of the Senate in the confirmation of the Supreme Court judges, and to take it out on this decision as if it were illegitimate and illegal means to take it directly. , with the American Constitution and thus contesting the legitimacy of power. A huge risk for the US.
