Public confirmation hearings of the Thomas nomination began on September 10, 1991, and lasted for 10 days. The Senate voted 52-48 on October 15, 1991, to confirm Thomas as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. In all, Thomas won with the support of 41 Republicans and 11 Democrats, while 46 Democrats and 2 Republicans voted to reject his nomination. Eight days after wining confirmation, on October 23, Thomas took the prescribed constitutional and judicial (set by Federal Law) oaths of office, and became the 106th member of the Court.
