Amy Coney Barrett

"We are dealing with people on the court, packed into the court, little or no qualifications, who are going to be there for a long time."

A four-day Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for the conservative appellate court judge is set to begin on Monday.

"I believe we'll get it done."

"We are going ahead with the full, thorough and timely confirmation process that Judge Barrett and the court deserve," McConnell said.

"I think we can move forward."

"We need to treat this nomination like the illegitimate power grab it is."

Public hearings for a high court nominee are a highly anticipated event.

The appointment of Barrett would give the court a 6-3 conservative majority.

Democrats have little leverage to prevent a quick vote on Barrett before the presidential election.

Her confirmation by the Senate would result in a 6-3 conservative majority on the court.
