Amy Coney Barrett was formally sworn in Tuesday as the Supreme Courts ninth justice, her oath administered by Chief Justice John Roberts. Her first votes on the court could include two big topics affecting the man who appointed her.
The court is weighing a plea from President Donald Trump to prevent the Manhattan district attorney from acquiring his tax returns. It is also considering appeals from the Trump campaign and Republicans to shorten the deadline for receiving and counting absentee ballots in the battleground states of North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Its not certain Barrett will take part in any of these issues, but she will make that call.

Isn’t Sotamayer in pretty poor health? Can you imagine picking off ONE or TWO more liberal seats during the next 4 years? Delicious.

I’m happy to see ACB on the court but let’s not count those SCOTUS chickens before they hatch.
“You mean hear swearing in yesterday did not officially make her a Justice of the SCOTUS?”

It means the AP wrote their article before Justice Clarence Thomas was announced to be the one swearing her into the SCOTUS.
The AP is so, so, lazy.
Remember when John Roberts had to give Obama the oath of office twice?
Oops. The N and M keys are very close on my keyboard!
Any liberal who thinks ACB will not participate in these cases is passing in the wind.
I’m sure John Roberts thought that if he rejected giving the judicial oath to stop her from being seated that he would be an arrow in Nancy’s quiver. Actually surprised that he agreed to seat her.
Well not really. She really got sworn in by Clarence Thomas. Robert got the cold shoulder.
