Just one week away from the Nov. 3 presidential election, the Senate confirmed Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, in a 52-48 vote on Monday (Oct. 26).
The decision gives conservatives a 6-3 majority on the court, as 48-year-old Barrett fills the vacancy left by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last month at the age of 87. On Sunday (Oct. 25), the Democrats unsuccessfully tried to filibuster the nomination.
In light of the new Supreme Court Justice confirmation, a number of celebrities have taken to Twitter to share their disappointment over the news, with many using the phrase “6-3 doesn’t represent me. Flip states blue, stop the GOP.”

It’s so stunning to believe that a man with absolutely NO moral compass, no ideas, no knowledge of the constitution, a man so stupid he had to pay someone else to take his SATS, a man who calls the military losers and suckers, has managed to appoint THREE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES!

#AmyConeyBarret, on Board of a school that won’t allow in a student with a gay parent, has been groomed for decades, the ultimate product of #theKochs, #TheFederalists, #TheHeritageFoundation. You working stiffs mean nothing to them. 5 days for one justice and no relief for you.

#RationingCare…”It will never happen here!” Well, it’s here, & it’s the #GOP’s fault. “Get rid of Obama’s pandemic plan!” No bed for you! Tough shit! Who are you? You’re not a billionaire! You’re not famous! No preparation, no plan, no relief; instead you got…a new Justice.
