Washington: The US Senate confirmed Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the

Supreme Court yesterday in the most partisan confirmati­on vote for a justice in modern American history.

No Democratic senator supported Barrett’s confirmati­on — the first time since the mid1800s that a Supreme Court nominee has not received any votes from the opposing party. The final vote was 5248.

Barrettis scheduled to be sworn in today. —
