October 20, 2020 The US Senate will vote on Monday to confirm Amy Coney Barrett in the Supreme Court, the judge wanted by President Donald Trump in the highest US judicial body.

The Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said.



The Senate Justice Committee, which held the judge's hearings last week, will vote Thursday and then pass the 'ball' to the Senate.



Trump has asked the 'upper house' to speed up the appointment and to ensure that Barrett sits alongside the other 8 judges before the November 3 vote, so as to put the 'liberal' judges in the minority in the forum.

This is why the American Senate will probably hold a classroom also on the weekend, a rather unusual event, in order to speed up the times and prepare the vote on Monday.



The Senate, which has a Republican majority, should not reserve any surprises in giving the 'green light' to the judge, conservative and Catholic.

And so on Monday 26, just over a week before the vote in the US presidential election, Barrett - who replaces a judge who was a liberal icon, Ruth Bader Ginsberg - will become the youngest to sit on the Supreme Court.
