WASHINGTON – All 12 Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to approve Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination Thursday, clearing the way for the full Senate to vote on her confirmation Monday. Democrats opted to boycott the hearing, leaving no one to oppose the nomination.
Democrats had said they would not attend the hearing and vote, hoping to prevent the committee from establishing a quorum. Instead, Democrats held a press conference Thursday morning and placed pictures of people they said were beneficiaries of the Affordable Care Act on their chairs in the committee meeting room.
Republicans moved forward with the vote anyway, quickly approving Barrett just minutes into what was scheduled to be an hours-long hearing. more
Dem senators confirm what we already know: they will vote based entirely upon party and not based upon qualification. Until there is a complete overthrow of Dem leadership that will continue.
do it now instead of ****ing around, dindu-lawyers
^ I know what you mean, m. We ain’t there yet! (Nov.3)
The longer it is delayed, the more time for Dimicretins to screw the constitution. The chief injustice is a yoke!!
“If Barrett is confirmed, there would be a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court.”
I do not agree – it would be 5-4 as Roberts has proven to be quite the lefty.
I always wonder why it is that so-called conservatives turn left when they reach the bench but I have never seen a lefty become more rational and conservative.
Be prepared to trace the emails and phone calls of the bomb threats to the Senate before the vote.
Why is this taking so long?

The Demoncrats weren’t very keen on doing their presser with pictures of people who no longer get to keep the doctor they liked or could no longer afford a doctor at all.
This should have been settled three weeks ago. It’s called “politics:” when you control the vote, you control the outcome. There’s never been a doubt that Barrett had the votes. Everything else is mental masturbation.
Didn’t even miss them. In fact quite pleasant.
I wouldn’t mind an itsy bit of a smidgeon if they’d stay gone for at least the next 52 months. I’d prefer it really.
I half-expect just enough Republican Senators to get Clintonized in a “lethal accidental suicide” to stop the vote.
Fat lady hasn’t sung yet. I’m praying that for the next 96 hours the Socialists do not cook up some “emergency” in order to delay the vote on Monday.
I hope to see a good debate for trump tonight and hit biden on the economy and his corruption. And then see a Scotus confirmation monday.
What’s wrong with Friday morning? You know 12 hours from now.
Get it done, move on to the next project. Do it quick before the demonrats change their mind and decide to show up and make a circus of horrors out of it, as they had done a few times before.
