As Republicans race to confirm President Trump's pick for Supreme Court prior to the November 3 election, the US Senate Judiciary Committee sets October 22 vote on Barrett's nomination
US Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett pauses while testifying on the third day of her US Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, US, October 14, 2020.
Her confirmation to take the seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg seems inevitable, as even some Senate Democrats acknowledged. There was no hiding her views in at least three letters and ads she signed over 15 years and her membership in Notre Dame’s Faculty for Life. So Republican senators embraced her stance, proudly stating that she was, in Graham's words, an “unashamedly pro-life” conservative who is making history as a role model for other women.
