Donald Trump has now chosen who will replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, at least according to Republican party sources cited by the US media. The new judge who will be appointed by the US president, barring sensational last-minute surprises, is Amy Coney Barrett, a magistrate of the Chicago Court of Appeals and a former assistant to the late Conservative Supreme Court. their anti-abortion positions.
The announcement from the White House is expected in the next few hours.
The Coney election is not to the liking of Democrats who would like to postpone the appointment until after the vote. On the contrary, Trump intends to immediately lock in the highest judicial body in the United States with a conservative majority (6 Republican-appointed judges against 3 Democratic-nominated judges). That Superior Court that could be found first of all to resolve possible legal disputes after the election day of November 3.
Meanwhile, in the United States, there are now open fears that the November 3 election will turn into an institutional crisis, with chaos and street protests, after Donald Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transition in the event of defeat.
Even the White House assurances appear misleading because the spokeswoman said “the president will accept the results of free and fair elections.” But that is precisely the point: Trump continues to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the elections, so much so that shortly thereafter he reiterated that he is not sure that the elections can be “honest” by mail vote. A vote that tends to favor the dem and that will probably delay the announcement of the winner days.
The concerns are so strong that the Senate unanimously passed a (non-binding) resolution reaffirming “its commitment to the orderly and peaceful transfer of power required by the United States Constitution.” The document also supports the idea that “there should be no obstructions by the president or anyone in power to overthrow the will of the American people.”
