The Gazette | COLORADO REACTS: Amy Coney Barrett confirmed as ninth Supreme Court justice

The U.S. Senate voted 52-48 to put Judge Amy Coney Barrett onto the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, eight days before the next election, and cement a 6-3 conservative majority on the nation’s highest court.

President Trump’s third pick is likely to ripple through this year’s elections and guide Democrats’ actions, should they win the White House and Senate next week.

Coloradans sized up the decision Monday on the expected party-line Senate vote.
