A few hours after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the high-ranking justice of the United States Supreme Court, President Donald Trump said, speaking at a rally in North Carolina, that next week he will present a woman’s name to the Senate seeking the lifetime office previously held by Ginsburg for 27 years.
Right now there should be nine Supreme Court justices, who make important legislative decisions. Of the current ones, five were nominated by Republican presidents (two of them by Trump himself) and three by Democratic presidents. If he can also nominate the person who will replace Ginsburg, Trump would have the rare opportunity to appoint three justices in a single term, bringing the number of conservative justices to five. Just hours after Ginsburg’s death was announced, Mitch McConnell, the Republican Majority Leader in the Senate, said he wanted to vote before the election on any name proposed by Trump.
