While Barrett dazzles GOP Senate, Democrats turn their backs on nominee

Judge Amy Coney Barrett breezed through a first day of meetings with Republican senators, winning both abundant praise and promises that she’ll be confirmed to the Supreme Court as soon as the end of next month.

“You just knock it out of the park as a law professor, as a lawyer, and I think you’re just an outstanding judge, ready for a good promotion,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said while meeting with Barrett in the Capitol.
