Gorsuch was confirmed to the seat in 2017 in a mostly marry-line vote of 54-45, after Republicans invoked the - "nuclear option" (a historic change to Senate rules removing Trump and his third Supreme Court the 6o-vote threshold for advancing Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett. nominations) to defeat a Democratic ffiibuster.14583 Trump nominated Kavanaugh in 2018 to replace retiring Justice AnthontKennedy; the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh in a mostly party-line vote of 50-48, after a bitter confirmation battle centered on Christine Blasey Ford's allegation that Kavanaugh had attempted to rape her when they were teenagers, which Kavanaugh denied.E45-9] Five weeks before the November. 2020 election, Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
