Senate on Track to Confirm Far-Right Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett on Oct. 26
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett ended Thursday
with the right-wing judge's confirmation looking all but assured, after
four rushed days of questioning in which Barrett refused to state her
position on abortion rights, gay marriage, the Affordable Care Act,
voting rights, climate change, family separation at the U.S.-Mexico
border, and even if President Trump could delay the election. The
Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on Barrett's nomination on
October 22. The full Senate could vote on whether or not to confirm
Barrett as early as October 26 - just over a week before Election Day.
We'll have more on the story after headlines.
