Well, it’s done. Amy Coney Barrett has been approved, by a 52-48 vote in the US Senate, as the next Justice on the Supreme Court. And for all their bluster and talk of “using every arrow in their quiver,” as Nancy Pelosi put it, to stop or at least delay the nomination, Democrats in the end reverted to form and caved, offering up very little to justify designating themselves “the resistance.”

So what DID Democrats do? As Cenk and Ana discuss in this clip, many Senate Democrats participated in what they termed a “virtual filibuster,” speaking online about the importance of voting and defeating the Republican agenda. But as the TYT hosts point out, their voices dripping with disdain, there’s no such thing as a “virtual filibuster.” Cenk rails against the Democrats for their incompetence and weakness, their refusal to deploy even a single one of the five moves he outlined as possible delaying tactics when Barrett was nominated, and even for failing in the messaging war - blame for which he lays at Joe Biden’s feet.

Cenk also reserves some of his contempt for the Democratic establishment fluffers in the corporate media who persist in perpetuating this mythology that Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and their Dem colleagues are master legislators despite having their lunch money repeatedly stolen by Republicans. And yet these are the same Democrats, Cenk says, who insist that we have to vote for them to save the Supreme Court? The actual message, he says, is more like “We’re not going to do anything to stop Republicans’ Supreme Court nominations, but vote for us anyway.”
