A group of state attorneys general are urging the Senate to immediately hold a hearing and vote to confirm the nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

President Donald Trump on Sept. 26 had announced the nomination for Barrett to fill the seat vacated by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—just over a month before the Nov. 3 presidential election.
