Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the judicial oath to Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Monday, October 26, at the US Supreme Court

The lead up to the election day is really heating up. With just a week left, the Senate has voted to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. She was nominated by President Donald Trump to fill the seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. NPR reports that the Senate Democrats tried to delay the confirmation but the fact that Republicans had a majority, it was somewhere predicted that Barrett’s confirmation was inevitable.

Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell, said, “The Senate is doing the right thing. We're moving this nomination forward and colleagues, by tomorrow night, we'll have a new member of the United States Supreme Court.” As reported by CNN, the vote was 52-48. Republican Sen Susan Collins of Maine, who is up for re-election, was the only GOP senator to vote with Democrats against the nomination after having expressed concerns that it's too close to Election Day to consider a nominee. The 48-year-old’sconnfirmation will give conservatives a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the judicial oath to Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Monday, October 26, at the US Supreme Court.

The private ceremony will take place in the East Conference Room, according to a news release from the Supreme Court. “Upon administration of that oath, she will be able to begin to participate in the work of the Court,” the release said. A more formal swearing-in ceremony will take place at a later date. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, “You may win this vote. And Amy Coney Barrett may become the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. But you will never get your credibility back. And the next time the American people give Democrats a majority in this chamber, you will have forfeited your right to tell us how to run that majority.”

Twitter also reacted to the news. One said, “The US Republican Senate just signed their own “political death certificates” by confirming Justice Barrett to the High Bench; instead of hashing out a Covid-19 Stimulus Package. As the #GOP intermingle & swap congratulatory toasts; As Countless Americans suffer from Covid-19!” Another said, “Can’t believe how many people are celebrating this tragedy  #ACBconfirmation.” Hillary Clinton said, “Senate Republicans just pushed through a Supreme Court justice who will help them take away Americans' health care in the middle of a pandemic. For them, this is victory. Vote them out.” One user said, "I say this with my whole f**king chest: F**K DONALD TRUMP, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND AMY CONEY BARRETT."

One commented, “I’ve never been more ashamed to be an American than I am today. I am horrified and disgusted by the minorities’ rule over the majority of America.” Another stated, “I’m disgusted and outraged.  I’m mad as hell. #ACBconfirmation is the opposite of justice and law and truth. This madness has got to end.  #Resist #Resistance #Resisters  fight like hell and vote in droves.” One alleged, “Millions will lose healthcare. Back alley abortions will make a comeback. Science is now controversial.” Another said, "I am sorry America. That bitch Amy Coney Barrett is the worst thing to happen to women in 47 years.....easily the worst thing for America and I only hope this super-speader event she is part of does the trick. Sorry, not sorry." 

There were others who welcomed the news as well. A user tweeted, "Chief Justice Barrett has a great ring to it." One user stated, “It feels so good to win.” A user said, “Congratulations Justice #ACB on #SCOTUS confirmation! You are most deserving.” One opined, “One of the really cool and unspoken stories of the #ACBConfirmation is that a graduate of @NDLaw was just placed on the #SCOTUS.

My heart is beaming with pride.”
