The president of the United States does not want to respect the last wish of the late American judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg. When he visits the coffin, those present receive him with great disgust.
US President Donald Trump was booed in the coffin of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the US Supreme Court. “Vote for it!” Chanted a group of people who had gathered in front of the Supreme Court that Thursday. Reporters present reported that the words “Worthy of your wish!” They were called. Trump and First Lady Melania stood for a moment in front of the coffin. They both wore protective masks.

A dispute broke out over a replacement
Left-wing liberal attorney Ginsburg died Friday at the age of 87 of complications from cancer. His body was deposited in the Supreme Court on Wednesday and Thursday, and numerous people said goodbye to the popular lawyer.

A few weeks before the November 3 US election, a bitter dispute broke out between Republicans and Democrats over the replacement of the vacant seat on the influential court. Trump wants to nominate a candidate for successor on Saturday. Democrats demand that Ginsburg’s seat in the influential court be filled by the winner of the presidential election.
According to his granddaughter Clara Spera, that was also Ginsburg’s dying wish. Republicans had taken the same position in the last year of Democratic President Barack Obama’s office when a seat became vacant. But now they are deviating from their own position to consolidate their claim to political power in the Supreme Court.
In a new poll by CNN, 59 percent of those polled said the winner of the election should name a successor to Ginsburg’s job. 41 percent support Trump’s plan to nominate a candidate now.
