The Daily Signal - What to Expect Ahead of Amy Coney Barrett’s Confirmation Vote Next Week

Senate Republicans are looking to confirm Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett next week, likely on Monday. 

The Senate Judiciary Committee is poised to vote on the nomination of Barrett, currently a judge on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, on Thursday.


What were some of the most outrageous—and best parts—of her Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings? What do we expect as the Senate votes to confirm her?


Carrie Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network, joins The Daily Signal podcast to discuss it all.

We also cover these stories:

  • A tie vote in the Supreme Court over the deadline for Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballots means that mail-in votes will be counted in the state through Nov. 6.   
  • A poll released Tuesday from Gallup found that 51% of those surveyed want Barrett confirmed. 
  • On Tuesday, the Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google.

The flight attendants on those planes didn’t get any special training or preparation to deal with some of the horrors they would witness, and when the war was over, they didn’t receive recognition from the U.S. government. But their role left a lasting impact, even if their contributions were largely forgotten.
