Pence’s presence presiding for the vote would have been expected, showcasing the Republican priority. But Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and his leadership team said it would not only violate virus guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “it would also be a violation of common decency and courtesy.”
Several matters are awaiting decision just a week before Election Day, and Barrett could be a decisive vote in Republican appeals of orders extending the deadlines for absentee ballots in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. She presented herself as a neutral arbiter and suggested, “It’s not the law of Amy.” But her writings against abortion and a ruling on “Obamacare” show a deeply conservative thinker.Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, praised the mother of seven as a role model — “a conservative woman who embraces her faith.” Republicans focused on her Catholic religion, dismissing earlier Democratic questions about her beliefs.
Trump and his Republican allies had hoped for a campaign boost, in much the way Trump generated excitement among conservatives and evangelical Christians in 2016 over a court vacancy. That year, McConnell refused to allow the Senate to consider then-President Barack Obama’s choice to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, arguing the new president should decide.
Demonstrations for and against the nominee have been more muted at the Capitol under coronavirus restrictions.

What they've 'confirmed' is continued upheaval.
Very sad
One of the saddest days of my 70 years. It is overwhelming to know that our elected Senators have so little regard for the people they serve. I can never trust or support any who cast a vote in favor.
We are screwed big time!!
Republicans are lowlifes for this.

Quid Pro Quo.
The Notorious ACB!
Excellent!
What a joke. Sad day for Americans.
Republican representatives have broken their word time and time again. Their words mean nothing!
The snake is in the courthouse.
Sad day for Women.
The reason there is supposed to be a 2/3 majority of the Senate on these SCOTUS confirmations is to keep the Court more centrist. To keep extremeists on either end of the spectrum off the court. The system is broken. The government is broken.
Sad the why this was done. Not right. This has to be rectified some way. We need balance.
No quorum and not a single Democratic vote all the while people are VOTING. This is NOT legitimate
Shame.
SCOTUS has become a really bad joke

So many achievements. GOP can add killing the worlds longest democracy to the list now. The SCOTUS is now as irrelevant as congress & the ppls trust in that branch is now erroded. Its just another partisan org. Dems can pack it wo fear bc you give them cover w/this miscarriage.

Why we have to accept this? Trump & his republicans are violating the laws. Wake up Trump supporters! Trump & his republicans are the enemy of people. They don't follow the laws, then why we have to follow the laws? Republicans who don't against Trump are all cowards! betrayal
Any Democrat who does not go along with the now necessary plan to seat liberal judges on the Supreme Court, during President Biden’s administration, is in fact a Republican, and must be voted out of office.
Evasion of the truth is a lie. She can be impeached for lying to the Senate. It only takes a simple majority. May be easier then packing the court.
The Senate didn’t approve her, the republicons did.
Hello, shitty world.
WNYT Let the liberal tears flow, the cult of the Ginsburg has been broken.

She is unqualified. Just like this administration, her confirmation is ridiculous. She will not be remembered well. And this break with president will be remembered.

Tilt...I like that sugar coated description. Not SERIOUS or anything...
'Days before the election'? The election has been happening for weeks already. I returned my ballot 2.5 weeks ago. This is an illegitimate installation of an unqualified extremist whose agenda conflicts with the needs and wants of the majority of the country.
'Rightward tilt'? She's a christofascist radical rightwing extremist.
It was previously tilted left then?
I think 'tilt' is an understatement. More like a right ward slide.
This is criminal. America will feel the weight of this for decades
another political a party mired in the corruption that is pervasive in government. Let’s revisit the Era of FDR, when at least NW individual placed the good of the country ahead of personal enrichment. Let’s bring back selfless stewardship; Noblesse Oblige!
Why ? Why? Why? Why do the PEOPLE, the taxpayers,continue to allow government to continue with this charade? The republicans do this. The democrats cry foul! And that’s all! Comonnow! The democrat party NEEDS to demonstrate their commitment to be something other than just Cont
Fuggin garbage.
Even though the media say 'being tilted to the right', it is not clear to voters in general whether it is to the right or to the left.
Rightward tilt?🤣🤣🤣 Grow up All of DC and your ilk are fighting a war for fascism. You are gonna lose. Prepare now.
Good. The side show is over
The truth is in the voting! Words are cheap I hope she did not perjure herself during her confirmation hearings We will find out very soon
ambkcsingh . Why deny this GREAT intellectual mind AmyConeyBarrett HER moments of glory. Every minute of her hearing and response was captivating. Being so partisan is an undoing. She deserves every bit of her appointment.
gross. she’s nuts... as crazy as the fake tv president. They are going to H E L L... every single republican who made this happen is a liar, a cheat and a total scum bag. Who paid off Kavanaugh’s debts? Why did Justice Kennedy resign and his son step down from Deutsche Bank
Oh man, the GOP is going to regret this one. Frankly, they get whatever comes to them the next decade.
Dear Democrats, Good luck passing your laws. You will need it. Sincerely, Republican-controlled US Supreme Court
Women’s rights, Gay marriage, Healthcare, Fair elections...... so much more is at stake. This decision WILL effect us all 😔
POTUS is getting CRUSHED in early PA voting. booyah
Good.
Hate to break it to you but the left will forget this. If this situation comes up again and the left is in charge they will do the right thing. Why, cause the left is stupid, we are stupid and do not play the game like the game is played.
She can't even fake a genuine smile.
Well done, President Trump!
thanks because I wasn't scared enough about my rights under this administration
fascist bobble head
Ruth wouldn’t have tolerate this
I never thought that I could tell my kid just be a partisan and you can become a SCTUS judge. No actual experience required
The headline should read 'Senate Trump Party Confirms New Justice'
This is a travesty that I pray Joe Biden can rectify if he's elected! McConnel, Trump and all involved with pushing this through without due process should be taken to task and held accountable for this affront on We the People of the United States of America!!
eternal life Jesus go big

He could choose to retire and go bury his head up Trumps ass wherever he decides to hide, just sayin🤷🏻♀️
Is it possible to appeal the decision?
...nomination to US Supreme Court being a lifetime appointment should be unanimous...else they become favour giving, favour seeking political appointees.

“Postal data through Oct. 9 show nearly all the agency’s delivery regions missing its target of having at least 95% of first-class mail arrive within five days. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio fell short by wide margins.”
This sums up the end of the Republican party as we know it today, a desperate attempt to push their religious ideologies on the American people despite sacrificing their integrity. I predict a blue wave will last for 8yrs, Republican party becomes Tea Party w/o religious stance.
End of America as we know it.
Trump wins hahaha
The only judge who’s clearly a handmaid confirmed only by the republican senators.

Like we thought the republican mafia ever gave a fuck about the people.
This is clearly court packing by radical republicans. Any news outlet not calling this court packing is misleading the public.
Assuming she's not for abortion. Hopefully, because of this stance, Barrett will adopt children who will need parents.
I'm sure in the event of a contested election she would recuse herself....... What do you mean she wouldn't? That just seems like a conflict. Oh well, guess their going to need to refurbish the courtrooms. Going to need room for the new seven 18 year old transgender justices.

It must be mortifying to be described as a constitutional powerhouse, a subtle & independent legal thinker, when you have been selected by a president and Senate that have already told you precisely how you must rule in the cases you have yet to hear.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
januarycat Don't you LOVE how the WH is going to plan a huge event TONIGHT at the WH, so they can rub it in Americans' faces that they can kiss their healthcare GOODBYE, along with other rights. Meanwhile, MILLIONS are suffering. Don't let that get in the way of a GOOD OLE Celebration!
januarycat Dems see the fire & the case that says 'please break in case of fire'. We CAN'T wonder if we should break the glass b/c it hasn't been broken since the 1800s. We MUST add more justices to the Supreme Ct, & judges to the lower courts to right all of these wrongs!
The smile of someone about to totally fuck America over
Despicable
Her name is mud.
Might be a good time to reflect on the role of the judiciary. Are laws red or blue? Isn't justice supposed to be blind anymore? Doesn't the constitution stipulate the separation of power?
At this point with 2 unacceptable & unimaginable moves by Republican to hijack the Supreme Court, we have the right to expand the Court for a more fair balance justice. Democrats should not be scare to openly & loudly state the SC will be set at 13, all new 4 liberal judges!
I hope she has an eternal case of imposter syndrome.
Part of democracy just died... sorry to America’s Founding fathers
Sounds like they bullied their way to this decision.
AP she is a constitutional conservative Stop the leftist propaganda
🤮
It will be short-lived......and she will regret her decision to allow this appointment to be rammed through while the American people were actually in the process of voting for a President of the US....she is BAD NEWS and will pay the price for her callous indifference.
I'm sure she will be perfectly fair and impartial, if her husband lets her.

Thirteen Circuit Courts necessitates thirteen Supreme Court Justices. Eighty years ago there were nine.
If the woman had any sense of decency, she would not have gone through with it. The same goes for Kavenaugh. But these are Trump's people so I expect nothing less.
Well deserved! One hopes there is a slight swing of the pendulum back towards the right after all of these years of leaning left. Our judicial system needs it.
SusanSarandon thanks for all of your help.
Jesus it's been a rightward tilt forever. This is a foxnews tilt now. Basically Q has more power then the liberals
Totally hypocrisy to confirm her. Those who blocked Garland but confirmed Barrett lack moral integrity. They do not believe in the'Golden Rule' but believe 'he who has the gold makes the rules.' It's a poor way to run your life and the worst way to run a govt.
*DURING AN ELECTION!!
Once again, this proves that the senate majority leader has way too much power. I say that with the hope and belief that the Dems will take the senate. Even then, the sen. Maj. Ldr has too much power for one person to hold. However, I hope they make the GOP pay 4 their hypocrisy.
The damage done is that we can no longer consider the Supreme Court as a separate but equal part of our government. This happened because Republicans pissed away their power, primarily by supporting Trump, and felt they had to make this desperate move.

And just like that GOP never regained major political party status. NeverForget

Women haven't started to contemplate what the loss of reproductive rights and abortion will mean to their economic freedom. Without access to birthcontrol or control over when they get pregnant, womens' lives will be at the complete mercy of the men who impregnate them.
Trump did exactly what he set out to do, and the Dems let it happen. Too, this thing didn't just sneak up on them. The circumstances leading up to a Trump presidency and this court packing have been brewing for a long time.
Democrats boycotted the Senate Committee’s vote. So Republicans did it without them. They claimed it’s a travesty. Yet how easily they forget that the US House unilaterally impeached the President. That was a travesty.
$10 bucks says the Senate can’t use the same speed and urgency to pass another Covid relief bill. A bunch of self serving jerkoffs.
Remember this, don't show any mercy these next four years.
oh no

For all of you who said voting for him was the lesser of two evils, look at the evil shit we’ve had to endure and there’s more to come with her on the courts.
So republican senators and their leader Senator Mitch McConnell had the rime and the will to go through with the justice confirmation; however, they don’t have the time to act on the COVID relief bill that would have helped millions of Americans to get through these rough times.
JenniferJJacobs A fully energized democratic party one week before the election they angling to steal. Good god, Republicans are idiots.

Just unfortunate that the Republicans let this move forward at this time.The way supreme court judges find their way to the high court really needs to be looked at. The intent we can all assume was that judges would be impartial but that simply is not the case. Limit terms or add

The republican portion of the senate rushed through a confirmation with only a few weeks left until the end of voting. An act they refused to consider when the outgoing president was a democrat and there was nearly a year until the election was over. They will be judged harshly.

LOL. 'Let the people decide.' So who is considered 'the people' and who is not considered 'the people?' I am happy for this confirmation.
As provided in the Constitution and as usual you already are planning to change the court as the Democrats do with anything that doesn't fit their agenda. Dangerous.

And this is why the GOP is falling to shambles and the newer generations are identifying with the opposing parties. We all see through their hypocrisy and they will see our rage in future elections. Vote them out.
She’s been a judge all of 3 years. What slap in the face to true judges with experience both Democrat and Republican. Truly shameful.
May I be the first to wish you nothing but the worst.

Truly sad what the GOP has become. Catering to wealthy religious bigots.
The Dems wanted ACB confirmed so they can have an excuse for getting nothing done over the next 8 years under Biden
The fact that she will attend a ceremony at the White House during a major COVID outbreak within the White House shows that she does not have the intelligence to serve on the Supreme Court.
We won’t forget this.
The people have decided. That's why Trump is in office.
Packing the court would be the only way to move forward with this compromised court.
Barrett has just become the most unpopular Supreme Court judge in the history. A person without integrity trying to replace Judge Ginsberg. What a shame!
every single republican needs to be voted out of office.
Sadly, the republicans have changed the courts for years to come especially after the dems instal their own judges .
