evidence: WASHINGTON — The Republican-led Senate voted narrowly Monday to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, ending an acrimonious confirmation process and handing President Donald Trump a political victory days before the election. [...] Barrett's nomination drew enthusiasm from Republicans, who have made the courts their priority in the Senate, and anger from Democrats, who warned them not to fill a vacancy in an election year, particularly after GOP leaders refused to do so under a Democratic president in 2016. [...] Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, reversed course over the weekend and said she would vote in favor of confirming Barrett even though she opposed filling the vacancy near an election.
