conducted with Amy Coney Barrett in 2016 shows the former law clerk for Associate Justice Antonin Scalia warning against making changes that would"dramatically flip the balance of power" on the Supreme Court in an election year.
McConnell ultimately decided against moving forward in 2016 with Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland, who legal experts have said would have been a more moderate voice on the court, and waited for President Donald Trump to take office before replenishing the court's ninth seat. McConnell's decision was widely scrutinized at the time and has come into focus yet again in the wake of Ginsburg's death.
Barrett successfully completed a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in 2017 after Trump nominated her to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago. Her nomination received bipartisan support, with three Democrats voting in her favor, and she was later reportedly considered to fill Kennedy's role on the Supreme Court when he retired the following year.
