▲ Nominated for Chief Justice Amy Connie Barrett
On the 29th (local time), the nominee Amy Connie Barrett, who was nominated by US President Donald Trump as a candidate for the new Supreme Court, began a visit to the Senate with the key for approval, and began the “ war of recognition. ”
According to the US media, the nominee Barrett visited the congress the same day to warn the senators and take action on the sidelines.
Preventing the nominee before Congress before a hearing is part of a long tradition, Reuters reported.
On the morning of this morning, candidate Barrett met with the Republican Majority Leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, and Vice President Mike Pence.
Under the United States Constitution, the vice president can assume the office of president of the Senate and participate in resolutions as president.
Candidate Barrett interviews the Speaker of the Senate judiciary, Lindsey Graham, late in the afternoon.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is the main gateway to the approval process, presiding over the Supreme Court candidate’s hearings.
Only after approval by the judicial committee is it passed to the plenary session, and approval is confirmed after a vote.
President Graham has previously announced that the hearing will begin on the 12th of next month.
After the opening statement on the 12th of next month, the hearing process of the judicial philosophy and legal opinions of the nominee will take place from 13 to 14.
On the 15th, a hearing is held behind closed doors to hear the testimony of the witnesses.
The judicial committee plans to approve the nominee on the 22nd of next month after going through a review process.
Candidate Barrett also meets with Republican Senate John Thun and other members of the judiciary.
The Washington Post reported that he met with Senate Finance Commissioner Chuck Grasley and members of the Judiciary Committee, Mike Craypo and Mike Lee of the Judicial Council, as well as Ted Cruz, Rick Scott and Corey Gardner, among others.
However, some Democrats have already said that they will not meet with Barrett’s nominee, the WP said.
The Democratic Party has opposed seeking President Trump’s approval by appointing a Supreme Court justice as the presidential election is imminent.
President Trump and the Republican Party plan to end Supreme Court approval before the presidential election, with a plenary vote expected in late October.
When a Barrett candidate is appointed, the Supreme Court will have an absolute advantage on the conservatives of 6 conservatives and 3 progressives based on ideological orientation.
The CNN broadcast said: “In the year of the presidential election, no candidates have been approved for the Supreme Court since July,” it said.
