Supreme Court sets Barrett ceremonial swearing-in for Oct. 1

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court says it will hold a ceremonial swearingin for Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Oct. 1, delayed by nearly a year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Attendance for the courtroom ceremony will be by invitation only. The building remains closed to the public. There was no word Friday whether former President Donald Trump and Melania Trump would attend. They did attend the ceremony for Trump’s other two high court appointees, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
