Democrats oppose Amy Coney Barrett because she’ll stop their unconstitutional agenda

Published



The vice presidential debate certainly lacked the theatrics we saw in the first presidential debate. However, there was one notable exception where Sen. Kamala Harris cranked up the hyperbole on healthcare and the Supreme Court. If you listened to her tell it, you’d think Amy Coney Barrett was a thoughtless, bloodless robot programmed only to destroy the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Suffice it to say, this is not the case.

However, there’s a reason Harris resorted to such tactics: because she and every other politician in the Democratic Party knows that they may not have the Supreme Court to defend their unconstitutional agenda anymore. Barrett scares the Left because she is an originalist in the mold of her late boss, Justice Antonin Scalia. That means she will not hesitate to strike down unconstitutional laws such as Obamacare should she be confirmed to the high court.
