The final day of the Supreme Court confirmation hearings on Thursday will not feature Judge Amy Coney Barrett herself. Instead, senators will hear outside witnesses testify on the judge’s character and qualifications.

Barrett, 48, was nominated by President Donald Trump to succeed the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the nation’s top court. She made it through two days of grueling questioning by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee without much drama or major gaffes.
