Chuck Schumer on Barrett Confirmation: ‘It Will Go Down as One of the Darkest Days’ in the History of the U.S. Senate

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "Generations yet unborn will suffer the consequences of this nomination, as the globe gets warmer, as workers continue to fall behind, as unlimited dark money floods our politics, as reactionary state legislatures curtail a woman’s right to choose, gerrymander districts and limit the rights of minorities to vote, my deepest, greatest, and most abiding sadness tonight is for the American people and what this nomination will mean for their lives, their freedoms, their fundamental rights. Monday, October 26th, 2020 — it will go down as one of the darkest days in the 231-year history of the United States Senate. I yield the floor.”
