Amy Coney Barrett

The newest justice did not participate in the court's work last week, and, consequently, did not vote in two significant cases decided by the court in opinions released Monday.

A 51-48 cloture vote in the Senate on Sunday sets the stage for a final confirmation vote Monday evening — just over a week before the general election.

Democrats boycotted the vote, pointing to what they called the damage she would do to health care, and reproductive and voting rights, and the fact the vote took place amid the presidential election.

Democrats see Mitch McConnell's rush to confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett as unprecedented and "outrageous," but they have little power to stop it in a GOP-controlled Senate.

Republicans are bringing supporters of Judge Barrett to testify, while Democrats call on advocates for issues they believe are threatened by Barrett's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Thursday was the fourth and final day hearings for President Trump's nominee. Next up in the process is the committee vote on Oct. 22.

President Trump's nominee deflected answering most questions, citing precedent that she can't weigh in on issues she may rule on. Weeks before the election, Democrats largely honed in on health care.

Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., questioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett about whether Griswold v. Connecticut, the ruling that protects the right to buy and use contraception, was correctly decided.

GOP members on the Senate Judiciary Committee decry what they call inappropriate questioning about Amy Coney Barrett's Catholic faith and call it un-American persecution of her religion.

The ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee says the Senate should put off the nomination until after the presidential election.
