Supreme Court Confirmation
Washington, DC | 26 October 2020

A deeply torn U.S. Senate is set to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, giving the country a ninth justice Monday as Republicans overpower Democratic opposition to secure President Donald Trump’s nominee the week before Election Day.

The 48-year-old appellate judge’s confirmation would secure a conservative court majority for the foreseeable future, potentially opening a new era of rulings on abortion, gay marriage and the Affordable Care Act. She would become one of the first high court nominees in recent memory receiving no support from the minority party.
