"Senate Democrats are taking over the floor all night to fight this sham process by Senate Republicans. We will not stop fighting," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) tweeted on Sunday night.
Democrats are powerless to prevent Barrett's confirmation since every Republican senator except GOP Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) — who doesn't believe a vote should take place before the election — is expected to vote to confirm her on Monday.
But Democrats are using the floor speeches, which they are highlighting on social media, to try to build awareness and rail against the decision by Republicans to move just days before the election to fill the vacancy created by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
