All signs point to the Senate’s swift confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court by the end of this month.
Judge Barrett performed impeccably before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, to the point that even Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the top committee Democrat, stated — off-script — how impressed she was.
The American Bar Association—by no means an ally of conservatives—gave its highest rating (“Well Qualified”) to Judge Barrett, praising the judge’s integrity, temperament, and intellect.
Democrats were so dispirited after three days of hearing from Judge Barrett that there was barely a third round of questioning on Wednesday evening.
