Today, almost all Republican senators gave their support to Amy Connie Barrett to be the new judge of the Supreme Court of the United States of America (USA), after which the announcement of her election tomorrow is not in question.
51 senators voted for the continuation of the Beret nomination process, and 48 members of the upper house of the US Congress voted against it, according to the Associated Press.
Democratic senators voted against the conservative judge Beret, who was proposed by US President Donald Trump.
They wanted to prolong the discussion, since they claim that the winner of the presidential election on November 3 should propose the new judge of the Supreme Court.
Just nine days before the presidential election, Republicans are in a hurry to have Beret elected to the nine-judge Supreme Court.
The election of Amy Connie Barrett to the seat left vacant by the death of liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg would give conservatives a six-to-three majority on the Supreme Court over liberals.
In this way, a conservative majority would be guaranteed in the coming years.
That opens the door to a potential new era of rulings on abortion, same-sex marriage and health care, according to the AP.
Beret, a 48-year-old Catholic with strong conservative beliefs, taught law for 15 years at the University of Notre Dame, one of the most famous Catholic universities in the US.
In 2017, Trump appointed her as a judge of the Court of Appeals for the states of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.
