The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday unanimously advanced the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett at its executive business meeting despite a decision by Democrats to boycott the Thursday markup in protest of how close Republicans are moving the nomination to Election Day.
Barrett was reported favorably out of the Judiciary Committee by 12-0, with no Democrats present.
“That was their choice. It will be my choice to vote the nominee out of committee,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said at the beginning of the meeting. “We are not going to allow them to take over the committee. They made a choice not to participate.”

Happy to see Amy Coney Barrett passed out of committee and can’t wait for the full vote on Monday. Democrats will fume and fuss and have tizzies and make fools of themselves. And then she will be confirmed without a single Democrat vote.
Who’s justice?
Our justice! The country’s justice! A constitutional justice!
I’d love to see at least, ONE OR TWO DEMS vote yes on her..
If I was a Democrat Represented by those who refused to represent my interests in the Amy Coney Barrett nomination vote, I would be furious that my voice was silenced. Their refusal to show up and vote, is indicative of the new Liberal damaging of our Representative designed government where now instead of their Representatives representing the interests and power of the PEOPLE, they put the interests and power of THE PARTY above all else. It used to be that failed entitlement minded socialists felt entitled to come to the American table with just an appetite and get fed for just showing up. This party has become so enfeebled in mind, morals, and workable strategies they now cannot even manage to show up. Who in the hell votes for THAT? Why vote for people and a party that is better at stealing the votes, with no will or ability to actually make one on your behalf? It certainly is NOT YOU that they are representing.
Their voting base, is probablby the ones, sending in email,s TELLING THEM TO DO THIS..
The Democrats are acting like privileged pouting children who in a snit take their votes and go to their safe space and bewail that they didn’t get their way. They feel ignored, unloved, unwanted, unneeded. In this case they are right. Their votes weren’t needed so their temper tantrum was futile. As the polls have shown it’s only the really hard core leftist extremists who can find objections to the appointment of Amy Covey Barrett. The country seems to have been win over by her no nonsense answers amid the hostility of Democrat inquisitionists! Their rationalizations made them sound very petty mainly because everything they complain about they would have done if in the same circumstances.
Pity we can’t TREAT THEM like the spolt brats they act like, and Publicly SPANK the lot of them.
How wonderful that Judge Barrett’s nomination passed out of committee unanimously! Kudos to her!!!
If only all Dem politicians everywhere would remain absent forever and never again show up to work.
Hopefully after Nov 3, we will be much closer to that highly desirable goal. I’m hoping for a blowout super-landslide like we saw in Britain when Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party coalition shattered the Labour Party into complete irrelevance. That’s what we need here. I’d like to send them all packing.
Many of them headed for prison, preferably.
JUST as long as they don’t get PAID, while remaining absent!
The democrats would boycott Our Lord Jesus Christ if he came down and said to vote her in. satan lives on in the dem party.
All the 6 year old Democrats were upset nobody was bringing ice cream. They want everything else in the world ,why not use their bully tactics to get ice cream. It always nice to see someone one stand up to the bullies.
