Supreme Court judge Amy Coney has heard a lot from the senators in the USA. Republicans powered Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett closer to confirmation on Thursday, driving past Democratic complaints and other preferences during the Covid-19 crisis in the drive to seat President Donald Trump’s pick before the November 3 election. The Senate Judiciary Committee set Oct. 22 for its vote to support Barrett’s nomination to the full Senate, with a final confirmation vote expected by month’s end. “Not normal,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

“You don’t convene a Supreme Court confirmation hearing, in the middle of a pandemic, when the Senate’s on recess, when voting has already started in the presidential election in a majority of states,” declared Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del. Republicans anxious to fill the seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg countered that Trump is well within bounds to fill the vacancy, and they have the votes to do it.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, stated that he understands Democrats’ “disappointment.” He said, “Their loss is the American people’s gain.” Barrett’s approval would bring the most pronounced ideological change on the court in 30 years, from the liberal icon Ginsberg to the conservative appeals court judge from Indiana. The 48-year-old Barrett was careful during two days of public testimony not to tip her views on many issues, or take on the president who nominated her. Facing almost 20 hours of questions from senators, she refused to offer specifics beyond a vow to keep an open mind and take the cases as they come.
