Congress, dominated mainly by Republicans, confirmed Amy Coney Barrett as the new Supreme Court judge on Monday, who was nominated for office by President Donald Trump.
Although several parliamentarians opposed the election, considering that no one should be appointed on the eve of the presidential elections, the Senate ratified the magistrate with 52 votes in favor and 48 against.
“This is a momentous day for the United States, for the US Constitution and for a just and impartial rule of law,” Trump said at a press conference at the White House.
The magistrate will participate in her first hearing on November 2, one day before the presidential elections. Thus, he will be able to act theoretically in the event of possible appeals against the results of the voting being examined.
Barrett, a fervent Catholic and mother of seven children (two of whom were adopted in Haiti), is considered in the United States as the antithesis of Ginsburg, especially on issues related to abortion.
With the confirmation of Coney Barrett as the new judge of the Supreme Court, the configuration of the highest court was shaped as follows: 3 progressive and 6 conservative magistrates.
