3. Amy Coney Barrett confirmed to Supreme Court
On Monday evening, October 26, the U.S. Senate confirmed Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Barrett was confirmed by a slim 52-48 vote, along mostly party lines, with one Republican — Susan Collins of Maine — joining the chamber’s 47 Democrats in voting against the nomination. Barrett will be sworn in at an outdoor White House ceremony on Monday evening. Vice Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris of California was among the “no” votes.
Barrett’s confirmation gives conservatives a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court bench. Her nomination created controversy as it violated Republican senators’ own precedent from 2016 when they refused confirmation hearings for President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.
