Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The vote was 50-48 in favor of Kavanaugh.
Senators Collins, Flake, and Manchin had already announced their intentions to confirm Kavanaugh before the vote was held. Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was previously ready to vote "no", agreed to vote "present" instead so that Senator Steve Daines could attend his daughter's wedding instead of being present in the Senate to support Kavanaugh.

While your at it, the Hassidic & Conservative Jews have their quasi-autonomous zones in the northeast, where some degree of civil court is heard in and ajudicated in their "kosher kourts" (beth din). recalling a story I read about a non-Jew's...challenges... dealing with a bike accident he had riding through one of those enclaves in NYC. then there are the Amish & other significant Anabaptist communities that have some measure of legal autonomy from their surrounding communities. There are the enclaves like Colorado City, UT, that are more or less fundamentalist LDS outcast/heretics autonomous zones (they elect their own sheriffs so handle their local law enforcement, as it were...and keep the riffraff out). Theres the whole Hutterite thing thats been on a slow boil in Montana for years. Or all the various insular ethnic/religious enclaves everywhere in the US who desire to keep thing "in house" as it were, and simply won't report things out of the community. Or "The Originals", how tribal lands in the US are definitely distinct and very distinct judicial systems from surrounding jurisdictions. or, hell, even deferring pedophile Roman Catholic priests to be "dealt with" by the Church...
Heep tilting at those windmills...
The point is, all the religious whackery "ism" you object to Islamic people professing to do already exists in the US and is well-established.
