The Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee today advanced Amy Coney Barrett’s U.S. Supreme Court nomination, despite a boycott from Democratic members of the committee, the Associated Press reports. All 10 Democratic senators boycotted the vote to protest the GOP’s rush to install Trump’s nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The committee’s 12 Republican members voted to send Barrett’s nomination to the full Senate, where a final confirmation vote will take place on Monday.
