US Supreme Court Justice Barrett passes the US Senate plenary session
The approval of the nominee for the US Supreme Court Justice Amy Connie Barrett passed the US Senate on 26th. The US Senate held a plenary session that day and passed the Barrett nominee's approval bill with 52 in favor and 48 against.
The nominee Barrett was nominated by President Donald Trump to replace Supreme Court Justice Ruth Vader Ginsburg, who passed away in September. The procedure for Barrett's parliamentary approval was ended with a quick decision before the presidential election, as the Republicans wished. Nominee Barrett was left with only the formal appointment of President Trump.
Republicans and Democrats have been in conflict over handling Barrett's approval bill before the presidential election. Some of the Republicans have also commented on delaying the approval of the approval bill, fearing that it will adversely affect the Senate election. Earlier on the 22nd at the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Democratic Party boycotted the approval bill and the Republican Party handled it alone. Even though Vice President Mike Pence, who can serve as a casting voter as the chairman of the Senate, did not participate in the vote on the approval of the Senate plenary session that day, the approval was passed smoothly. In the Republican Party, there was one dropout vote (senator Susan Collins).
With the addition of the conservative nominee Barrett, the ideological landscape of the US Supreme Court has been reorganized into a clear conservative advantage (6 conservatives and 3 progressives). Nominee Barrett, a devout Catholic, is known to oppose abortion, defend the constitutional right to possess guns, and have a negative view of homosexuality.
