Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Amy Coney Barrett Nomination

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination, with a final confirmation vote expected soon. Democrats boycotted the hearing, fearing Barrett might overturn the Affordable Care Act. The Supreme Court is set to hear a case challenging Obamacare's constitutionality. President Trump expressed hope for the law's end. Barrett's confirmation would solidify a conservative majority on the court. Joe Biden plans to form a bipartisan commission to recommend court reforms if elected.

How would Barrett's confirmation affect the ideological balance of the Supreme Court?
