Justice Amy Coney Barrett Sworn in at the White House
[BREITBART] President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
hosted a swearing-in ceremony for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett on Monday night, about an hour after the Senate voted to confirm her."She is one of our nation’s most brilliant legal scholars and she will make an outstanding justice on the highest court in our land," Trump said.

The final Senate vote was 52 -48.

The White House held the swearing-in ceremony on the South Lawn as the South Portico of the White House was decorated with lighting and large American flags.

"It is highly fitting that Justice Barrett fills the seat of a pioneer for women, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg," Trump said at the ceremony.

Trump noted that Barrett was the fifth woman to serve on the Supreme Court and the first mother of school-aged children to sit on the court.

Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, the longest-serving justice currently on the Supreme Court, presided over the ceremony.

Susan Collins says she is voting against Coney Barrett confirmation
Such effective posturing on her part.

They're still not gonna reelect you, Sue. Only downside there is it could end up making GOP control of the Senate even dicier.

#5 The swearing in happened at night. This wouldn't happen with other recent and potential presidents. Joe would be asleep already and Barry would be watching a game.

#8 One major win remains. A second term with a friendly congress.

Glad to see this happen, but if the demoncrats sweep it will all be for naught.

#18 As has been noted elsewhere, a woman was sworn in as a SCOTUS justice by a black man who is a SCOTUS justice and who's not happy? Democrats!
