November, 3rd election. And tonight judge Amy Coney Barrett has officially been sworn in to the Supreme Court and our washington dc correspondent kelli meyer joins us now live with the kelly, the seems like it all happened pretty quickly. Good evening. Grant vicki yeah, it did we just wrapped up with the official swearing in at the white house just moments ago and just 30 minutes before that she had the final confirmation vote here on capitol hill in that building just behind me and it went as expected republicans knew they had the votes to get this through democrats continued to oppose this until the very last second. Senator schumer the democrat from new york trying to push this off again until after the election but was unsuccessful in that in the end all democrats opposed the confirmation of judge Amy Coney Barrett and one republican side with democrats on that that was republican maine senator susan collins, but all other republicans voted. For judge barrett to become the next justice and she just was confirmed and sworn in at the white house with President Trump there by her side and smiling and waving to those at the white house including some senators who rushed over from capitol hill to be at the white house for the swearingin so like you said, yes, happening very quickly here in washington. Kelly the president now has 3 Supreme Court justices that he has appointed and when you think of the the Supreme Court as a whole. You know its now 6, 3 conservative majority, but sometimes john roberts will vote with the democrats but even if roberts does that you know have a conservative working majority of 5, 4, even if you know roberts goes with the democrats and you have the trump appointees and then alito and Samuel Thomas are staunch conservatives how impactful is this move now. Yeah i mean President Trump has 3 justices now from his administration his first term or potentially maybe only term as well find out next that he has gotten through here and thats what democrats were concerned about of having more conservatives on the court but in her speech that she just gave moments ago now Justice Barrett says she will listen to the constitution she made clear again in her speech that she will let whoever put her into a position or any kind of election sway her on her position she says she will listen to the constitution and believes in but democrats are definitely very concerned about Justice Barrett will fare on the court, especially in the weeks to come as the Affordable Care act comes up in the Supreme Court the week after the election. So kelly if it did just very quickly what is going to be on her starting out. Yes we have the Affordable Care act case coming up just a week after the election and possible any election lawsuits that may arise following this, we know election day is 8 days away, but will we know the results right away or not that remains to be seen and will any. Decisions have to be made by the Supreme Court following that she will be seated on the court for these decisions. All right kelli meyer live for us tonight in washington appreciate it kelly.

Christina pascucci explains and she talks to both supporters and opponents of prop 18. Proposition 18 would give 17 year olds are right to vote in primaries and special elections if they are turning 18 by the general election. Secretary of state alex the dia says vote yes probably this 18 is not about lowering the voting age. Its simply about. Allowing any young voters who is eligible to vote in a general election to be able to have their voice heard in a primary election proposition a team. Would frankly just bring us some migrants but 18 other states already do hideous as its the energy of young people thats been the catalyst for change when fighting against Climate Change demanding gun control calling for social justice activism amongst young citizens throughout our nations history is been one of the most important forces and moving our nation forward and in california more than 600,000 youth under 18 have preregister to vote to huge indicator of there willingness their preparedness their eagerness to participate in the electoral process when they turn 18 those who oppose prop 18 say 17 yearold are not ready to make Big Decisions on ballot topics like taxes proposition 18 would let High School Students vote on tax increases in primaries and special elections and that could be the margin that raises taxes and maybe theyre not seeing all the information and maybe they dont remember how many times texas have already been raised for the same purpose, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association taxes are too high says vote no on prop 18 there are millions of registered voters in Los Angeles County taxes for a specific purpose, special purpose. Such as a tax that will be used only for schools must receive a 2 thirds vote of the electorate.

The niners road, the best defense in the nfl all the way to the super bowl last season yesterday that unit dominated the same way they did all of last year they held the patriots to just 3 points. They picked him off 4 times 3 of them coming off former mvp cam newton it would probably be unfair to hold them to yesterday standard for the rest of the season, but if they can play like that moving forward the niners will not lose all that often and right now they are right back in the thick of things in the super competitive nfc west. Another bright spot from yesterdays win was the run game. The niners ran for a 197 yards and 4 touchdowns jeff wilson junior led the way he had 17 carries for 112 yards and 3 touchdowns it was a career day for him, but unfortunately. Wilson suffered a high ankle sprain will likely have to go on the injured reserve later this week where they watch every single play on the whole game. I mean every time he gets hit, theres it looks like the goal line is right in front of them and hes doing everything you can to cross that you can see it on the field i want to try to talk to him during the 2nd quarter barely could communicate with me because he was in that spot side and try to mess a mess it up. But i was very happy for him and how hard he played in this extremely unfortunate got hurt. Yesterday i spoke about tom brady tormenting the raiders throughout his patriots career starting with the infamous tough rule, but maybe the raiders would have better luck against tampa time. Wishful thinking tampa time had his best game as a bump as you can see him talking trash and he killed that raiders team and their porous defense 4 touchdown passes. And a touchdown run and you could see him chirping all game long. It was a humble humbling afternoon for the raiders who won who have now find themselves at 3 in 3. 2 and a half games behind the chiefs. The Biggest Issue may be that defense only one team in the nfl is giving up more points snag then raiders are per game. 32. 8. You hate to see it on offense. The raiders aria problems yesterday. The offensive line hatton practice all week and it showed they gave up 3 sacks and their car was under constant pressure. He also threw an interception all in all this is a team with a lot of holes with the most glaring ones coming on defense. We play some really good offense just so you know, tom bradys a problem for a lot of people so is drew brees and certainly a lot of the guys players. Were going to stick together bond together and make some changes in the lineup possibly in the scheme that we use and were open we change the results that were getting. Yeah the raiders just getting killed on the defensive end 2 teams trending in the opposite direction. You have the raiders trending down and the fortyniners ever sense that blowout loss a couple weeks ago to the dolphins. Theyve looked like that team that won the suit went to the super bowl last year yeah i cant get too sad about it the raiders are no longer bay area teams and not going to get many people yeah a lot of raiders fans still thats going to remain the case goes first in line yeah, all right still to come this evening, a heart tugging surprise a young boy celebrates his birthday with the best gift could possibly imagine. And certainly gusty winds around the bay area now and a cold night ahead well talk ab a young boy in upstate new york was given the surprise of his lifetime for his birthday he said it was better than any gift he could on rock yeah young daniel turned 9 recently the only thing you wanted for his birthday but to spend time with his grandfather who had been diagnosed with a rare cancerous tumor during the pandemic but in the days leading up to daniels birthday a miracle happened in the doctors said that they can operate in the tumor and stay them. His grandpa got out of surgery just in time for daniels big day. Waited at his house to surprise him complete with happy birthday balloon. So its a great story love that now final check of the forecast with larks i guys nice and clear out there around the bay area tonight, the winds and the gusty in spots but boy down the lonesome of allies its going to get pretty chilly out there for tonight in fact were expecting the skies. Stay mostly clear tonight all night long those offshore winds kicking in. The temperatures dropping off outside some lows going to be in the 30s in some of the north bay impacts on those chilly temperatures developing overnight tonight. But those gusty winds will continue looks like were going to see that happen to be the case is were going to see those gusty winds tomorrow on looks like things subside by the afternoon by. garage door opening it is my fathers love.
