McConnell says Senate will vote to confirm Barrett on Monday, Oct. 26

Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the Senate will vote Monday to confirm Trump Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett to the high court.

McConnell made the announcement during his weekly press conference.

"I think that will be another signature accomplishment," he said, "in our effort to put on the courts, the federal courts, men and women that believe in the quaint notion that maybe the job of a judge is to actually follow the law."

The GOP-led Judiciary Committee will likely sign off on Barrett at the end of the week, following four days of hearing last week, clearing the way for McConnell to schedule the vote.

The Judicial committee will vote to send it to full senate this week. Final vote there will be Monday.

I know a lot of conservatives hate Mitch, but my hat is off to him for blocking Obama’s lame duck pick and then pushing through Trumps’ picks. These may be the most important things he has done. Ryan or someone like him would never have stood up like Mitch has.

Hide & watch LEFTIST HEADS IMPLODING all over the USA, when Justice Barrett is seated on the SCOTUS.
(LEFTIST heads do NOT explode. They IMPLODE, as they are 100% EMPTY.)

Perfect timing — ACB will be approved on Hillary’s birthday. Great gift from POTUS.

My hat too! Whatever else his faults may be, and there are many, he is a hero for getting this done, as well as all the other judges! I don’t think history will judge him too harshly.

I think he moved up the date after the betrayal of Roberts.

Watch for something to happen that will delay the vote.Don't ask what...I don't know.At least they want to delay it until after the election so all SCOTUS votes will be 4-4 like the one allowing the Rats to steal Pennsylvania.

she appears to be a fine nominee.
Dear Senator McConnell, please get her confirmed ASAP, this week if possible.

I’ll bet that most working Americans would kill to have a work schedule like the US Senate’s.
