The Democrats are clearly pulling out all the stops to block the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett for Supreme Court Justice. That includes blatantly lying over and over during appearances on TV. Senator Blumenthal is on record saying he will “use every possible tool” and “fight like hell to block Judge Barrett’s confirmation so it’s no surprise that he would lie through his clenched jaw to claim the nomination of Judge Barrett violates the Constitution. Surprisingly, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer pushed back on the lie:
After getting called out, Blumenthal admits confirming Judge Barrett doesn’t violate the Constitution.
BLUMENTHAL: It is illegitimate.
CNN: Where does it say that what Republicans are doing is illegitimate in the Constitution?
BLUMENTHAL: It may not violate the Constitution.
