Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans advanced Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination to the full Senate on Thursday, despite a Democratic boycott.
All 12 Republican members of the panel voted unanimously to advance Barrett’s nomination to the full 100-member Senate, which is expected to make a final decision on Monday.
The 10 Democratic senators on the committee refused to show up in protest of the Republican party’s rush to install Trump’s nominee to replace late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Instead of attending, Democrats displayed posters at their desks of Americans they say have benefited from the Affordable Care Act.
