Supreme Court




Today the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11-10 to end the hearings on the Supreme Court. This was followed by a 11-8 vote to debate the nominee. The debate was very heated with 10 senators in support and 10 against with one undecided. The undecided senator decided to support the nominee on condition that there would be an FBI investigation. The full Senate decided to approve debate in an executive session by voice vote. The senate debate will go on throughout next week. The first full senate debate will be Monday. The president has also agreed to a one week limited FBI investigation before a final senate vote on the nominee.
