From the governor’s office, to the halls of Congress, to homes throughout the state, Georgians were quick to react to the senate’s speedy confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

Barrett was sworn-in by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas at a White House Ceremony Monday night just minutes after being confirmed by the Senate. Georgians made their thoughts known on social media. Here are what your fellow Georgians had to say about the newest Supreme Court justice.

First, your elected officials:

Congratulations to Justice Barrett on her confirmation by the U.S. Senate. It's abundantly clear that @POTUS @realDonaldTrump nominated a highly qualified jurist who holds the utmost respect for the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States.

Congratulations to Judge Amy Coney Barrett on her nomination to the US Supreme Court! I know she will serve our country well with honor and integrity.

Merrick Garland was robbed, still robbed and Republican Senators are the most hypocritical people I've ever seen. Packing the court should be on the table for discussion as well as term limits. Go Democrats. #BidenHarris

Once again, @realDonaldTrump delivers on his promises.

Congratulations, Justice Amy Coney Barrett! https://t.co/rOgSNogOAp

From Judge to Justice.

As the first Senator to call for the nomination & confirmation of a new Associate Justice to the Supreme Court, I was honored to vote to confirm Judge Barrett's nomination to our nation's highest Court.

Her confirmation is a victory for all Americans.🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/lY8SaShAvM

Next, a few Georgia citizens:

So where and when do I pick up my handsmaid outfit now that Amy Coney Barrett has been appointed for the Supreme Court? #ACBHearings
