A few hours after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the oldest judge on 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 whom he intends to entrust. the role, which lasts a lifetime, formerly played by Ginsburg.
At the moment there should be nine justices on the Supreme Court, which makes important legislative decisions in the United States. 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 to replace Ginsburg, Trump would have the rare opportunity to appoint three justices in a single term, bringing the number of most conservative justices to six. 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.
