Suzanne in pennsylvania on the republican line. Go ahead. Caller i just want to say what a great day it is for the United States and for myself personally. I have been a fan of Amy Coney Barrett for a while and i wanted her to be named in place of Brett Kavanaugh so i am so grateful she is finally there and in less than two months i will turn 54 and this is the first time in my life that i am represented on the Supreme Court as a conservative woman, a wife, a mother and i didnt realize how really wonderful this was but as it was being announced after the vote i cried and wow, its a really great day for young women and all women in this country. Host janet is next in jamaica, new york, democrat li line. Caller yes, hello. How are you . Host fine, thank you. Caller im upset over the confirmation as it was too soon and they didnt give the same courtesy the ways they did with obama when he wanted to promote his justice and it was seven months and then they push it after Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies and trump weights a day and then he says. [audio difficulties] host okay, we will hear from, go ahead. Caller im here. Yes, yes, yes, so they push her through to be a Supreme Court justice but mcconnell, especially he has had a proposal for a bill for stimulus that has been sitting on his desk since maybe he could not push that through but now he wants to push through a conservative who is going to strip away a womans rights. Yes, strip away a womans rights and basically take away the aca because thats what trump wants and doesnt want anything, im sorry, if im ranting. Host new york senator and democratic leader Chuck Schumer made several attempts over the course of the debate to end the debate, stall the legislation install the action in the consideration of Amy Coney Barrett until the senate took up covid relief legislation but all those efforts were blocked by the republican majority. Lets hear from patrick on the independent line, marietta, georgia. Good evening, go ahead. Caller good evening. Thanks for taking my calls. I like to make two points. The first point is i think this is a good thing to have a full Supreme Court. We have a total of nine on the court now and i think is important because remember what happened in the bush gore election in the state of flori florida. The Supreme Court was required to help make a decision during that time. I think definitely with nine people on the Supreme Court, whether republican or democrat, its a good thing for our country because we dont want to put our country in paralysis if something were to happen like that again. Host do you think, patrick, Amy Coney Barrett hips or hand it all in the hearings about how she might rule in a case involving the election . Caller not at all. I dont think she tipped her hand one way or the other. You do no less a fourfour vote in pennsylvania recently that kennedy went with liberal part of the court and voted forfour. That went back down to pennsylvania decision so i think its so important that we got our Supreme Court justice. Yet another point wanted to make on this as well. Caller second point is do you remember when they wanted Ruth Bader Ginsburg to retire so obama could select a liberal nominee so the democrats in reality did this to themselves and i think if trump wins reelection i thank you will see thomas or the other conservative judge i forget his name that they will probably end up retiring one if not both. I appreciate you taking my call. Host left side of your screen is the white house south lawn, live look from her cameras there as we wait for the ceremony to get underway on the south lawn of the white house and the swearing in ceremony, President Trump expected to be there after a day of campaigning and the oath of office will be administered by Justice Clarence thomas. Continue with phone calls up until the start of the event. Buffalo new york is next and this is tori. Welcome. Caller hello. This is tori from buffalo, new york. Today is a great day for our country. There is no way that Amy Coney Barrett is such a some staunch conservative that she will not do right by the american people. For the democrats to keep bringing this up over and over again, the verge of girding the talking points is disgusting. What we need is a fair, fair Supreme Court and i thank you will see that with judge barre barrett. Host okay, tori. Here is a text from emily baltimore, maryland who text 202 7488923 is as equal justice under law is supposed to be achievable in this country, particularly internation cord that is no longer going to happen and its a tragedy that will be felt for years aberdeen, mississippi bobby on the democrat line. Go ahead. Caller yet, i think this is a shame and a sham that what the republicans did. Look what they did four years ago to Merrick Garland that was nominated by obama and this is all going to come back to bite them. Im certainly hoping that the democrats take over the senate next tuesday. Host to jacksonville next. Susan on the republican line. Go ahead. Caller hello. Thank you for taking my call. I just wanted to congratulate Amy Coney Barrett and i know she will do a great job and as a Supreme Court justice. Im 65 years old and im happy that the legacy of the court is going to be conservative in that my children and grandchildren and great grandchildren will benefit from her ruling and her guiding and leaving the country and im just so happy that we are turning that to be a more conservative country and god bless america. Host the ceremony at the white house excited to get underway in about five minutes but 48 yearold Amy Coney Barrett who has been serving on the u. S. Seventh Circuit Court of appeals out of chicago for three years confirmed by the senate almost three years ago and this evening as a matter fact and also a professor and attendant notre dame law school. We go to mike next who is in delaware ohio, democrat line. Go ahead, mike. Caller hello. I just want to say that i think this is pretty dirty for the republicans to what they did to the democrats. They couldnt wait. Lindsay graham and mitch mcconnell, they cannot wait till this lady was buried before they did this. This is really, its hypocritical of what they are doing. Thats all i got to say. Their time is coming. Next tuesday their time is coming and i hope the democrats act accordingly. Host Amy Coney Barrett approved by 5248 vote, 45 democrats cody know and to independents and one note was Susan Collins of maine. On the other line we hear from marlene and hopkins, south carolina.

Host are you there . Hopkins, south carolina, one more time. We go to ron and philadelphia on the republican line. Caller hello, hooray. Hooray. I will be out on my front lawn later on this evening waving the american flag. I feel as though im surrounded by democrats here in the city of philadelphia and im 71 years old and i retired city firefighter and serve my country in vietnam and my city of philadelphia and i cant help but think this is one of the most important, one of the most important Success Stories of our President Trumps tenure as president of the United States. Nominating three Supreme Court justices. I can only hope that the rest of america wakes up and sees the value of a Supreme Court that adheres to the constitution of the United States and, you know adheres to that and then i just hope and pray that the election next week is successful and President Trump is elected for another term. Host ron, you pointed out part of the tally as you mentioned President Trump now with three successful Supreme Court nominations for the rest of the tally looks like this in terms of the federal judges ships 53 Circuit Court judge confirmed by the senate, 162 district judges and to u. S. Court of International Trade judges all under President Trumps term. Democrat line in chicago. Caller yeah, hello. This is pam and chicago. Im a democrat. I just wanted to call in and give a shout out to the judge. Im here in the seventh circuit land and im glad she made it through and i am the social conservative but im pleased with and i am voting for biden but in pleased with how President Trump shaped the federal bench. Host to german in houston, texas on the other line a few minutes here before the white house gets underway could go ahead. Caller yes, good evening. I just feel like this will be great for america that for too long there has been too much politicizing too many of these decisions and it is good that the Supreme Court is finally going to go back to what they were meant to do and that is to interpret laws as they were written not by political parti parties. Host lets hear from this is don and washington state. This text is very happy and proud of this historic event it is wonderful to see conservatives succeed in placing a very qualified constitutionalist on the court. A couple of reactions here on twitter and this is the Vice President mike pence who is not in the chamber this evening but this is often the case probably out of concerns over the covid testing, positive testing amongst his staff. Vice president saying thank you to Senate Majority leader on all 52 republican senators for voting to confirm the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett of the indiana to the serene court. Greek vote, great day for america and we will show you more before the white house event gets underway. Wanted to say that im glad we have someone that wants to interpret the law the way that its written and strike down the unconstitutional stuff we are facing like the cases before the Supreme Court that were dismissed regarding the Second Amendment quite recently. Host on the democrats line heather is next in appleton, wisconsin. Go ahead. Caller hi there. Pardon me. I would just like to bring up that since this is so much more important to rush through this nomination instead of taking up elite bills, i certainly hope it doesnt have anything to do with a case President Trump if he were to lose and contest the vote, i would certainly hope that amy would recuse herself. And i wonder how she feels with some of the americans against her confirmation. Host thanks for that, heather. Chris is next in bethesda maryland on the republican line. Go ahead. Caller republican, lifelong. I feel like the big issue here is that the previous justice appointed kavanaugh should have been Amy Coney Barrett and i would say now that the court is fully loaded, you know, at what cost . The republican party, it is a shame. I feel bad to be a republican tonight. Im happy for Amy Coney Barrett, but at what cost . People are suffering from covid19. There is no stimulus. There needs to be helped. So congratulations, but lets get our priorities right and this is from a lifelong republican. Have a good night.

Dial back in if you want to and we will hear from ashley next in fairfax, virginia. Caller hi, can you hear me . Host yes, we can.

Host tyler in new york sends this. He says 2020 is the first election i will be voting in, as i am a young voter.
