Judge Amy Coney Barrett is to be the next Supreme Court Justice, filling the seat left by the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Business Insider reports the Senate on Monday voted to confirm Coney Barrett along party lines in a 52-48 vote. Only one Republican, US Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, voted against Barrett's nomination. The 48-year-old was confirmed just eight days before Election Day, and to vociferous opposition from Senate Democrats. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Sunday celebrated Barrett's impending confirmation. This is something to really be proud of and feel good about. We made an important contribution to the future of this country. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg left behind a final project, which will now be released posthumously. Prior to her death last month, Ginsburg worked with Amanda Tyler, one of her former clerks and a current law professor at University of California, Berkeley, on composing new material and collecting previously unreleased works. This compilation will be released as a new book, entitled Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue: A Life's Work Fighting for a More Perfect Union. The book was originally slated for release next fall, and was already in production at the time of the Justice's death.
