Nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court
Oct. 26, 2020
The AFL-CIO opposed the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett for associate justice for the Supreme Court. The speed with which Judge Barrett’s nomination was processed was offensive and violated any sense of fairness and non-partisanship, which should be the hallmark of filling a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. Despite having refused to consider President Obama’s nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, for more than nine months until after the 2016 election, Mitch McConnell, who was then the Senate majority leader, rushed Barrett’s confirmation through in record time when the American people were already voting in large numbers in the 2020 presidential election. Coney Barrett’s nomination was confirmed on Oct. 26, 2020.
