"A divided Senate on Monday is expected to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, capping a bitter fight over the partisan make-up of the judicial body.
The 48-year-old judge’s elevation will come just eight days before the final votes are cast in the contest between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
It will provide conservatives with a 6-3 majority on the high court, including three Trump picks."

Can you say Supreme Court Justice Barrett?

Indeed.

Batting a thousand for the Constitution and the rule of law.

The first case she's likely to hear is a question of Constitutional law concerning the election, Earl.

I think she will be involved in several cases long before anything about the election gets to the SC.

Is that so?

“Pennsylvania Republicans asked the U.S. Supreme Court again late Friday to overturn a mail ballot deadline extension ordered by the state’s high court, quickly returning to an issue on which the Supreme Court had only just deadlocked and raising the prospect of a different outcome after a new justice is installed next week,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

“In a 4-4 split Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court did not grant that previous emergency request to step in and block the deadline extension. Friday night’s filing differs in that it is asking the court to take up the case itself and decide whether the state court ruled properly. And Monday’s all-but-certain confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court could tip the balance in deciding the new request.”

“The GOP on Friday night also asked the U.S. Supreme Court to fast-track the case, given that Election Day is just over a week away.”
