Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Barrett Supreme Court Nomination

VOA ^

[Wm F Buckley Republican]

Romney has said he will be a yes.

[jazusamo]

Good!

The Dems are quite the drama queens holding their breath and stomping their feet.

[Wm F Buckley Republican]

If Biden is elected, that bitch will be our next president.

I think most people are expecting a 51 to 49 vote on confirmation. That's probably the most likely result. But we'll find out Monday.

I have no reason to believe that any Democrat will defect.

“October 26, 1947” is better. (’Illary’s birthday present)

There are layover rules to abide by.

[newzjunkey]

If Barrett is confirmed to the lifetime appointment, the Supreme Court would have a 6-3 conservative majority.

5-4 at most

[Lower Deck]

I have no reason to believe that any Democrat will defect.

I think you're right. Forty-seven Democrats, Murkowski, and Collins will vote against.

Article at Town Hall, I believe, listed the several times in the recent past that judges have been moved through

Evidently this is far from the first time they’ve thrown this tantrum over Trump’s nominees to different courts

[HKMk23]

AND scrap the 17th Amendment; get the damned Senate OUT of the death grip of populism.

[PROCON]

[Mouton]

If romnuts votes no, he will have to move back to Massachusettes.

[Covenantor]

LMAO !
Stealing it.

Great news. Let’s have the floor vote today.

Not gonna happen. Here's a recently posted article that explains it: FR: Amy Coney Barrett confirmation: What happens next, how to follow it [excellent account of Senate confirmation process and procedures]. Committee today, nomination on floor and file cloture tomorrow, cloture vote Sat/Sun (Dems can burn 30 hours of delay), gives us a final vote on Monday at the earliest if the Dems try to delay and Turtle burns 15 hours of sessions each Sat/Sun. If the Dems just let the vote happen, then it could be as early as Sat morning, but that's not gonna happen.

- McConnell has said he would put the nomination on the floor of the Senate on Friday. McConnell cannot put the nomination forth on the same day it comes out of committee via Senate rules.

- After the nomination is read, McConnell could file cloture – or a measure to end any debate on the nomination – then a day must go by before the Senate can vote on the cloture motion.

- Once the Senate votes on cloture, opponents may use up to 30 hours on the clock before a final confirmation vote. That means if the Senate votes on Sunday, the final vote on Barrett’s nomination could come as early as Monday.
