Final day of Barrett confirmation hearings looms
Democratic senators decry the proceedings as a sham amid the pandemic while Republicans press to confirm Amy Coney Barrett before the election. The Judiciary Committee set October 22 for a panel vote, with a full Senate vote likely by month’s end. Barrett, 48, faced tough questions but gave cautious replies. Two GOP senators tested positive for COVID-19. Barrett’s fate hinges on a 51-vote threshold under new Senate rules.
