Hard to vote independently when most bills are multi-issue
craploads, so they duck into herd to claim immunity.
The conscience free vote for them would be not to vote
any bill, unless single issue voting. Yet see them herding
over single-issue of appointments... reeks of brokenness.

The vote...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Coney_Barrett
"Senate confirmed Barrett to the Supreme Court by a vote of 52–48.
Every Republican senator except Susan Collins voted to confirm her,
whereas every member of the Senate Democratic Caucus voted in
opposition. Barrett is the first Justice since 1870 to be confirmed
without a single vote from the Senate minority party. Straight
party-line votes have been called "the new normal" in the Supreme
Court confirmation process."

The officiants and witnesses to each of the office and judicial oath
swearing ceremonies (were those deemed to be necessary
final acts) could also be considered another four votes in favor
by them not having stood down their expected performance
of same. In effect, a two judge supreme panel just ruled that
the entire process was kosher, if not biased themselves.
