Amy Coney Barrett Nomination Officially Advances Despite Boycott from Democrats
Senate Republicans voted to move the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Senate floor for a full chamber vote, despite a boycott of the proceeding from Democrats.
The Senate Judiciary Committee measure to move Barrett forward passed early Thursday in a 12-0 vote, according to Fox News. A final confirmation vote is expected early next week.
No Democrats on the Judiciary Committee showed up for the vote, instead opting to effectively boycott it.
