A procedural vote is set for Sunday, final confirmation on Monday

The Senate will gavel in a rare Saturday session this afternoon to debate confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court -- just days before voters decide whether Republicans will maintain control of the Senate and the White House.

Democrats, fiercely opposed to Barrett's confirmation so close to the election, boycotted the Judiciary Committee vote Thursday and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., staged four delay tactics Friday on the Senate floor, including forcing a brief closed session.

Apparently, McConnell and Republicans are tactically accelerating the votes to ACB's final Confirmation vote to shove Democrat stalling tactics right back down their throats and Confirm ACB right on time.

Looks like a positive to me.

Looks good to me too. When McConnell announced it Friday pm, he said she’d be confirmed “by Monday,” which made me wonder if it wouldn’t be before...

[laweeks]

Just vote, dammit, and get it over with befdore the dems come up with something from their "quiver".

[hsmomx3]

I can’t wait for confirmation. When she is approved this will be a godsend!

I have to give Mitch credit for handling this.

The dems can pound sand and cry in their rubber rooms.

A stimulus that sent 1200 to the unemployed would get Trump reelected

Is that why McConnell won’t let it happen?

McConnell said they’re vote tomorrow (at the very end of remarks).

I just afraid of the Dems coming up with something off the wall to stop her getting on the court. This should have been done immediately without the "hearing" as it was totally unnecessary.

Working on a Saturday? That’s mighty white of them. The country is in the middle of a communist overthrow, half the executive branch is focused on attacking the president. Businesses are closed and closing everywhere. We all have to follow rules like we live in a prison. The Chinese have openly bribed the entire family of a presidential candidate.
(as they did Hillary before him)

And they are going to sacrifice by working on a SATURDAY!

Bravo guys... bravo. How DO you do it?

[Balding_Eagle]

I heard that. Vote tomorrow.

Sung to, "Monday, Monday", by Mamas, and Papas
Sunday Sunday can't trust the Dems...
Sunday Sunday, is before Monday, Chucky's mad,
But if you vote on that Sunday, and it's done...
Chucky and DiFi can go jump in a lake, and,
That'll be fun

That could be the “vote to vote” and not confirmation, though.

McConnell said they’re vote tomorrow (at the very end of remarks).

Confirmation vote is on Monday.

Sunday vote is procedural to make Monday's vote happen.

[hsmomx3]

You never know!!! Maybe Mitch said it’s either Amy or a stimulus????

[decal]

According to Senate rules (which the communists would ignore but oh well) Monday would be the earliest the vote can happen.

[Hardastarboard]

LOL! Love the well deserved sarcasm.

[rktman]

Yewwwwwwwww! Oh, you said 'quiver'. I thought something else. Never mind. 🙌

[faithhopecharity]

Schumer can - abd I’m certain Will - GTH. He had zero proper reason or cause to make an ass of himself trying to delay a candidate he has zero evidence whatsoever against.

[funfan]

I don’t think that stimulus had 1200.00 checks in it I could be wrong.

[D Rider]

I heard Monday is Hillary’s birthday...

Keep praying everyone. Evil is abound like never before. The demons know their eventual fate as is evidenced in the Scripture. . . .Matthew 8:28-29 When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29“What do You want with us, Son of God? they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?'
