“First, that the whole process has been illegitimate, and, second, because [Barrett] has already stated that she is for overturning the ACA,” Schumer said.
I am not going to meet with Judge Barrett. Why would I meet with a nominee of such an illegitimate process and one who is determined to get rid of the Affordable Care Act?https://t.co/7v4ES3HNM1

A reporter recently set Schumer straight and reminded him that Trump is able to confirm a new justice because Trump and the Republicans won elections.
“The reason why there is going to be likely a third conservative justice in the court is because President Trump won the election, that Senate Republicans won the majority,” a reporter said to Schumer.
Schumer was visibly annoyed!
