Senate Votes To Confirm Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett United States senate voted 52 to 48, Monday to confirm the Trump nominee to fill the seat vacated by late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The confirmation of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals judge and Notre Dame law professor marked the end of a confirmation process that lasted less than 40 days from the day Ginsburg died. This is the third appointment to the Supreme Court by President Trump, solidifying his administration's legacy even further just a week before Election Day as he seeks a second term. Liberal senator Susan Collins(R-Maine) was the only Republican to vote against Barrett after expressing objections to moving a Supreme Court nomination so close to an election. Barrett is expected to be sworn in by Justice Clarence Thomas at the White House on Monday night.
