Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday night promised that Democrats will not “supply quorum” for the votes needed to advance the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, saying that the confirmation process was not legitimate.

He also demanded that Barrett recuse herself from cases involving the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, and the upcoming presidential election.
