Sen. Chuck Schumer seems to be a strong believer in the “dying wish” clause of the Constitution. He already had his anti-Amy Coney Barrett statement ready to go the minute she was formally nominated, and at a press conference Saturday evening, he said that Ruth Bader Ginsburg must be “turning over in her grave up in heaven” knowing that all of her hard work will now be overturned by the Glorious ACB.
First of all, she hasn’t even been buried yet — she’s lying in state in the Capitol, so we’re pretty sure she’s not turning over in her grave.
Two things going on in this clip:
1. Schumer can't even read his notes because it's too dark for him.
2. He says Ginsburg's "turning over in her grave up in heaven."Wut? pic.twitter.com/lnCYfb2iwG

He probably forgot until mid sentence that she hasn't been buried yet so he tried to ad lib.

Will this take the place of his usual Sunday grandstanding or do we have to deal with him again tomorrow?

Man clearly doesn’t know how dying and heaven works.

His staff should have called a lid for the day

How many times did he say “strongly?” Not sure I heard him right ?
— Stephanie Barone (@Stephan80140027) September 26, 2020
Yeah but he's going to 'strongly, strongly, strongly oppose'.
I guess that begs the question as to how many 'stronglys' were used on Kavanaugh?

I think he just triple dog dared republicans to confirm.
— Barbara Willis (@bbrbrown01) September 26, 2020
Well at least he didn’t strong strongly strong strongly oppose the nomination.

So if you make it to Heaven you’re still in a grave?? Well that sucks. Should have read the fine print…

Judaism doesn't believe in a Heaven.

Arent they Jewish. Isn't it a basic tenant of the religion is everyone is stuck in purgatory because they don't believe Jesus saved their souls?
— Great new day (@jakline98) September 26, 2020
Honest question…doesn’t the Jewish faith believe the Savior is yet to come? Is it typical for one Jewish person to speak about another Jewish person looking down from Heaven? I don’t mean to criticize…just curious. @Evan_GoCats

Oh brother, we are back to the dying wish angle again.

Dear @SenSchumer , her “dying wish” does not usurp the Constitution. Period. End of tweet.

These old men need to exit. We have zoomers dominating discourse by generating overwhelming clicks and internet traffic, which creates talking points back to these antique men to try to read off of paper with their spectacles. There's an entire nation of Gen X who can lead sanely
