Mitch McConnell: Amy Coney Barrett Will Be Confirmed ‘No Later than Monday.’ Cocaine Mitch has the 51 votes he needs. We get a conservative majority on the Supreme Court for the first time in decades.
The stage is set for a Sunday afternoon Senate vote to limit debate on President Donald Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell filed a cloture motion on the nomination Friday. That sets up a simple-majority vote to wind down the debate one hour after the Senate convenes on Sunday. Under regular order, that vote is expected to kick off at 1 p.m. Eastern time.

I hope she stays conservative and originalist. It would be a shame for her to turn into another Roberts.
I hope ACB works out. Since John Roberts flipped it will be nice to have a 5-4 level-headed majority. I'm crossing my fingers. There has to be some sort of liberal taint in the Washington DC drinking water which is why President Trump sticks to Diet Coke.
