According to Huffington Post:

The Senate voted Tuesday to confirm circuit court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, who has suggested Roe v. Wade was an “erroneous decision” and called the Affordable Care Act’s birth control benefit “an assault on religious liberty.”

Barrett was confirmed 55-43 to be a lifetime judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit — a court one level below the Supreme Court.

Three Democrats, Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Joe Donnelly (Ind.) and Tim Kaine (Va.) voted for her. All Republicans voted for her, including Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine), both of whom support abortion rights.

Among her affiliations is this enlightened group:

Some have also raised questions about Barrett’s membership in a tightly knit Christian group called People of Praise, where people are assigned to a personal adviser ― men are referred to as “heads” and women are “handmaids” ― and taught that husbands are the heads of their wives and should exercise authority over the family.

And this one:

27 LGBTQ rights groups urged the committee to oppose Barrett due to her views on civil rights. . . . They also note she took a speaking fee from the Alliance Defending Freedom, a nonprofit that’s defended forced sterilization for transgender people and been dubbed a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Is Senator Joe so afraid of the winner of the Morrisey/Jenkins Death Match that he feels obligated to vote for Barrett? I guess so.

I think this statement from the People for the American Way's Executive Vice President Marge Baker sums this up nicely:

Today we saw that despite the latest revelations about the Trump campaign and despite the extremism of the nominee, Republicans are still eager to fall in line to help Donald Trump pack the courts. Again and again since January, we’ve seen independent courts stand up against Trump and his illegal, unconstitutional agenda. Yet when he asks Republican senators to support nominees who will rubberstamp his overreach, they rush to do so.

“Today’s vote is a win for Trump’s extreme agenda and a win for far-right activists who have spent years pushing biased partisans who will put their own agenda above the Constitution’s principles of equality and justice. For Americans who depend on independent courts to protect our rights, it’s a big loss.”

Yeah, and Senator Manchin joined them.
