(Sept. 28) Watch live as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer holds a news conference on Sunday, September 27, the day after President Donald Trump announced Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court.
The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to start Barrett’s confirmation on Oct. 12, Senator Lindsey Graham, chair of the committee, said on Fox News. Barrett would face questioning for the next two days, then senators would hear from outside witnesses on Oct. 15.
“I expect they will challenge Judge Barrett about the law, and I’ll expect they will ask her questions about her faith and does that influence her decision making,” said Graham, who has spoken with Barrett. “I expect her to be confirmed” and “I hope to get her out of the Committee by the 26th of October.”
A full Senate vote is tentatively planned for the week of Oct. 26 -- the week before the election.
