Democrat plans to derail a Senate Judiciary Committee vote approving Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court ended up in shambles Thursday after Republicans moved up the vote by several hours, leaving Democrats scrambling to respond.
The vote to recommend Barrett be confirmed to the Supreme Court was scheduled for 1 pm, but after learning that Democrats on the panel planned to boycott the hearing, they moved up the vote to 9 am. Barrett’s nomination was passed out of committee on a party-line vote, 12-0.
