Roberts to administer judicial oath to Barrett Tuesday
The Hill ^ | 10/26/20 | Justine Coleman

Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the judicial oath to Amy Coney Barrett on Tuesday following her confirmation to the Supreme Court on Monday evening.

The Supreme Court announced that Roberts will give the judicial oath to Barrett in a private ceremony Tuesday after she was officially confirmed by the Senate in a 52-48 vote.

“Upon administration of that oath, she will be able to begin to participate in the work of the Court,” the Supreme Court release states.

Barrett will be recognized in a formal ceremony at a special sitting of the Supreme Court “at a later date.”

The judicial oath will follow the constitutional oath that Justice Clarence Thomas will administer Monday night to swear in Barrett as a justice. Thomas will swear-in Barrett at a ceremony at the White House, prompting questions from some about the safety of the event.

Barrett’s confirmation solidifies the Supreme Court’s 6-3 conservative majority. She became the first justice in modern history to be confirmed without bipartisan support after no Democrats voted for her; only Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) crossed party lines to vote against her confirmation.

The judicial oath ceremony will come a week before Election Day.

Live just trying to gloss over that Roberts did not swear her in. Thomas did.

“will probably go to work on him”

...the FBI has your internet porn records, (doctored) pictures of you making a crack purchase in Tennessee and a paid off girl and witness who will testify you raped her in Albuquerque.

Play ball.
