Clarence Thomas to administer constitutional oath to Amy Coney Barrett

Barrett’s confirmation is expected to take place on Monday evening

By Sam Dorman, John Roberts | Fox News

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will administer the official constitutional oath to Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Monday night if she is confirmed by the Senate, a senior White House official told Fox News.

Thomas has long been considered one of the more conservative justices on the Court, along with Barrett’s mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia. The would-be celebration of her confirmation won’t be a large affair, President Trump said, noting that it will be “just a very nice event.”

Trump made those comments to reporters on Monday at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania, Politico reported. The president has been holding rallies in the swing state as part of a final push to win support for next week’s election.

Barrett’s confirmation, which is expected to take place on Monday evening, will mark his third successful appointment to the high court within his first term. The highly contentious process has provoked backlash from Democrats, who claim Republicans hypocritically jammed her nomination through after rejecting Judge Merrick Garland’s in 2016.

In a video retweeted by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., he accused Republicans of committing “one of the greatest acts of hypocrisy that has ever occurred in the Senate.”

“This is something to be really proud of and feel good about,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said during a rare weekend session Sunday ahead of voting. He scoffed at the “apocalyptic” warnings from critics that the judicial branch was becoming mired in partisan politics, even as he declared that “they won’t be able to do much about this for a long time to come.”

Trump will also likely have to ward off criticism surrounding the ceremony he holds while the coronavirus continues to spread throughout the U.S. Like Barrett’s nominating ceremony, Monday’s would-be celebration will take place outdoors and in the White House Rose Garden, although it’s unclear whether attendees will refrain from wearing masks like they did during the former.

“We’re doing tonight the best we can to encourage as much social distancing as possible,” White House chief of staff Mark Meadows reportedly said of a potential swearing-in ceremony.

Vice President Mike Pence, who also serves as president of the Senate, won’t be presiding over the vote after members of his staff tested positive for the virus. Both he and his wife, Karen, have tested negative.

Schumer and his leadership team said that Pence’s attendance would not only violate virus guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but “it would also be a violation of common decency and courtesy.”

Who cares what he ‘thinks’, anyway. And what’s with the repetitive, annoying China virus whining in an article on this site? I believe FOX has lost what mojo it ever had.

Next to Justice Scalia, (RIP), Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is our next best Justice serving. Swear her in quickly! Common sense should prevail.

She needs to hear these ballot fraud cases. Polls aren’t ballots – not a day goes by where new ballot fraud isn’t discovered.

Supreme Court confirmation vote live here:

The Senate vote is expected to take place around 7:30 p.m. but could be later depending on the success of the Democrats’ efforts to delay the proceedings.
The nomination will probably pass by a 52-47 vote, with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, the only Republican voting against it. It passed 52-48.

Will they be playing James Taylor’s “You Got a Friend” in the background, during the swearing in ceremony?

Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barrett better watch their backs. They murdered Scalia and will not stop until they have absolute control over America. Traitor Roberts is safe. He has already gone over to the dark side.

It fits. Remember at Thomas’ confirmation, which he termed “a high-tech lynching”, the Senator who really heaped on the abuse of him was Biden.

Turn about is fair play.

I would be willing to bet big money that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was extremely happy to have the honor of swearing in new Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett. I am old enough to well remember what all the Left put him through when he endured the nomination process. This is a great triumph in my opinion.

Senator Chuck Schumer pushed an Impeachment on President Trump comprised of allegations, no documentation and no evidence, now he calls the confirmation of Justice Amy Barret ““one of the greatest acts of hypocrisy that has ever occurred in the Senate.” Is it surprising then that the name “Schumer” is a Middle Low German word meaning “good-for-nothing”?

Watched the swearing in of Amy Coney Barrett! She’s going to be a great Supreme Court Justice!
The only thing, I wish she would have downed the judges gown after the swearing in! A little theatrical, but it would have been a great touch!
