U.S. President Donald Trump gestures as he poses with U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett on a White House balcony after she was sworn in to serve as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court at the White House in Washington, U.S., October 26, 2020. REUTERS/Tom Brenner
Her confirmation as successor to liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last month, creates a 6-3 conservative majority on the high court. One Republican, Susan Collins, voted against the confirmation. In contrast to the White House event last month, more people wore masks and seats were spread out to ensure social distancing. Several of the Republican senators who voted to confirm Barrett were in attendance, although not Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has not been to the White House since August due to COVID-19 concerns.
Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the separate judicial oath at the court on Tuesday, the court said in a statement.Trump has said he expects the court to decide the outcome of the election and wants Barrett to participate on any election-related cases that go before the justices. “The truth is this nomination is part of a decades-long effort to tilt the judiciary to the far right,” he added.“We don’t have any doubt, do we, that if the shoe was on the other foot, they’d be confirming,” McConnell said. “You can’t win them all, and elections have consequences.”
lawrencehurley jeffmason1 If these Republican Senators and Barrett had integrity, they would have all agreed that Stimulus Relief for tens of millions of Americans was more important than her confirmation, and would have delayed these proceedings until after the election. That would have shown character.

lawrencehurley jeffmason1 I’m sure all the people who can’t pay for basic expenses are very happy for you and for taking the time out of a covid response to fill this position unnecessarily.
lawrencehurley jeffmason1 The American people have seen the death and despair Donald Trump has caused. It's time to put our country first.
lawrencehurley jeffmason1 Glaringly getting a black Supreme Justice to swear her in with the hope of giving the SCOTUS some kind of legitimacy - why didn't they get one of their own rotten conservatives to do it.
lawrencehurley jeffmason1 it wasn’t his achievement
lawrencehurley jeffmason1 I hope it goes as well as his last ACB event.
lawrencehurley jeffmason1 Please remember Obama left all those judgeships empty because good ol Hill was supposed to win and fill them with her cronies. Sorry, Trump won and therefore he gets to fill them.
lawrencehurley jeffmason1 Graham and McConnell have to go. These two orchestrated this push before the election. John Roberts was smart not to attend the super spreader event held tonight. This was all a political show, by Trump to show America that in fact he is a corrupt fascist. Good job Adolf.
lawrencehurley jeffmason1 I predict very bad things for her

lawrencehurley jeffmason1 Trump uses the Death of RBG to claim her replacement as his signature achievement. In the quicksand of Pride he resides. No conscience, no shame. He poses in the center of her swearing in ceremony held at the WH and not the Court House.
lawrencehurley jeffmason1 Presidential Joke for sure. My hope Trump and his family end in New York Prison, Trump case for life.
lawrencehurley jeffmason1 She should feel shame
