CNN’s Avlon: Judge Amy Coney Barrett Is Currently Sitting in a ‘Stolen’ Circuit Court Seat

EXCERPT:

AVLON: "Of course, that’s exactly what President Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland was denied. But Republican senators assured us that this was the new election year standard. That was a lie. So when Mitch McConnell complained about the Democratic playbook of double standards, broken promises and raw power, he was engaging in some primo projection. Judge Amy Coney Barrett is actually sitting in a stolen appellate court seat right now. That’s right. Obama’s nominee, Myra Selby, was the first woman and first African-American to serve on the Indiana Supreme Court. She was flat out denied a Senate vote just because Republican senator from Indiana, Dan Coats blocked it. In contrast, Democratic senator from Indiana, Joe Donnelly granted a vote to Amy Coney Barrett when she was nominated by Trump. Now, when Trump got into office, there were 103 court vacancies.”
