Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed as the new Supreme Court justice in front of Donald Trump (Picture: EPA) Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in as the newest Supreme Court justice in front of Donald Trump on the White House lawn. A deeply divided Senate confirmed her place with a 52-48 vote, with just one Republican senator, Susan Collins, voting against her. The confirmation of Trump’s nominee comes just days before the election, and gives the court a solid conservative majority. Trump’s choice to fill the vacancy of the late liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg potentially opens a new era of rulings on issues including abortion, the Affordable Care Act and even the president’s own re-election bid. {“@context”:“https:\/\/schema.org”,“@type”:“VideoObject”,“name”:“Metro.co.uk”,“duration”:“T5M57S”,“thumbnailUrl”:“https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2020\/10\/27\/06\/34888838-0-image-a-1_1603781589598.jpg”,“uploadDate”:“2020-10-27T06:53:14+0000”,“description”:“Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in to serve on the US Supreme Court”,“contentUrl”:“https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2020\/10\/27\/8476389317326385466\/480x270_MP4_8476389317326385466.mp4”,“height”:270,“width”:480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Democrats were unable to stop the confirmation of Trump’s third justice on the court, as Republicans race to reshape the judiciary. Ms Barrett is 48, and her lifetime appointment as the 115th justice will solidify the court’s conservative tilt. ‘This is a momentous day for America,’ Trump said at the swearing-in event, where Justice Clarence Thomas administered the Constitutional Oath to Ms Barrett before a crowd of about 200 people. Ms Barrett told those gathered she believes ‘it is the job of a judge to resist her policy preferences’, and vowed: ‘I will do my job without any fear or favour.’ Amy Coney Barrett is the third justice Trump has nominated to the court (Picture: EPA) In its timing, Monday’s vote was the closest high court confirmation ever to a presidential election, and the first in modern times with no support from the minority party. The spiking Covid-19 crisis has hung over the proceedings. Vice President Mike Pence’s office said on Monday he would not preside at the Senate session unless his tie-breaking vote was needed after Democrats asked him to stay away when his aides tested positive for the coronavirus. The vote was 52-48, and Mr Pence’s vote was not necessary. ‘Voting to confirm this nominee should make every single senator proud,’ said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, fending off ‘outlandish’ criticism in a lengthy speech. The confirmation of Trump’s nominee comes just days before the election (Picture: EPA) During a rare weekend session, Mr McConnell declared Ms Barrett’s opponents ‘won’t be able to do much about this for a long time to come’. Democrats argued for weeks that the vote was being improperly rushed and insisted during an all-night Sunday session it should be up to the winner of the November 3 election to name the nominee. However, Ms Barrett, a federal appeals court judge from Indiana, is expected to be seated swiftly and begin hearing cases soon. Speaking near midnight on Sunday, Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren called the vote ‘illegitimate’ and ‘the last gasp of a desperate party’.

The justices are also weighing Mr Trump’s emergency plea for the court to prevent the Manhattan District Attorney from acquiring his tax returns. Mr Trump has said he wanted to swiftly install a ninth justice to resolve election disputes and is hopeful the justices will end the health law known as ‘Obamacare’. During several days of public testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Ms Barrett was careful not to disclose how she would rule on any such cases. She presented herself as a neutral arbiter and suggested, ‘It’s not the law of Amy’. But her writings against abortion and a ruling on ‘Obamacare’ show a deeply conservative thinker.
