Amy Coney Barrett Confirmed To Supreme Court, Cementing Conservative Majority

After weeks of partisan back-and-forth over whether a justice should be appointed so close to the presidential election, Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Monday, eight days before Election Day—making her the third successful nomination during President Trump’s tenure and the sixth conservative justice on the nine-person court....

In a preliminary vote on Sunday, Democrats attempted unsuccessfully to filibuster the nomination, which they continue to insist should have been decided by the winner of the election. Though initially joined by two Republicans in support of delaying the confirmation—Sens.

Barrett was confirmed exactly one month after her nomination and eight days before the presidential election, making her confirmation thePresident Trump plans to swear in Barrett Monday night at a small White House event. Democrats, in their final speeches before the Senate earlier in the day, vowed they wouldn’t forget how Republicans “thwarted” Senate precedent and the will of the American people, with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calling the vote “one of the darkest days in the 231-year history of the Senate.
