The issue of the appointment of a successor by federal judge Ruth Vader Ginsburg, who died on the 18th (local time), has emerged as an issue of US politics six weeks before the presidential election.
According to the US media on the 19th, President Donald Trump and the Republican Party expressed their willingness to quickly nominate a successor to fill the vacancy. In a tweet of the day, President Trump said: “It is your duty and that of the Republican Party to elect the Supreme Justice, and” it must be done without delay. “

If there’s no Republican out vote, that’s fine
Life judges of the federal Supreme Court are appointed by the president and approved by the Senate. The Senate is dominated by the Republican Party with 53 seats.
Republican Senate Representative Mitch McConnell said the day before that the Senate would vote for the person Trump nominates as Ginsburg’s successor. I woke up my conscience to do it. Chief Justice Lindsey Graham, who heads the judicial committee, which is the core of Senate approval as “ Chin Trump, ” tweeted that he understood the president’s position.
However, it is noted that at least two of the Republican senators are known to oppose President Trump’s pre-election nomination and whether additional votes will be cast. Lisa Merkoski and Susan Collins, who are brave towards President Trump, have already taken negative positions. Congressman Collins argued that “the next supreme judge must be chosen by the president who will be elected in the November elections.”
The Democratic Party seeks to “stop total power” while making the subject of the next Supreme Court the subject of elections. According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Democratic candidate Camela Harris said in an email for the campaign fundraiser that day, “Trump overruled Obamacare (ACA), stopped immigrant protection and ‘Roo vs. Wade’ No there is no doubt that he will appoint someone to overturn the sentence. “
Democratic supporters are also gathering. The hourly fundraising amount of the Democratic Party’s online fundraising platform Act Blue set a new record at $ 9.2 million the day before, immediately after news of Judge Ginsburg’s death. , and set a record of $ 6.3 million an hour later. Reported this.
Senator Chuck Schumer of the Democratic Party held a conference call with his senators today and discussed strategies for dealing with the nomination of Ginsburg’s successor. However, CNN noted that the Democratic Party has no authority to block approval hearings and voting if Republican defectors do not come out.
Even before the presidential elections four years ago, a similar situation occurred and the two parties clashed. In February 2016, when Conservative Supreme Justice Antonin Scalia passed away and became vacant, retired President Barack Obama nominated a progressive candidate for the office of Justice Merrick Galland.
However, the Republican-dominated Senate did not endorse, and Conservative Judge Neil Gosearch was nominated after President Trump took office after the presidential election. At the time, the opposition Republican Party insisted that the retiring president should not appoint a supreme judge, but now, four years later, the position has changed 180 degrees.
The new candidates for the Supreme Court include conservative Amy Connie Barrett, Judge of the Seventh Federal Superior Court, South Asian Judge Amul Tapa of the 6th Federal Superior Court, and Cuban woman Barbara Lagoa, 11th Federal Superior Court.
Among them, Justice Barrett is the leader in filling the vacancy on the Supreme Court, NBC News reported, citing three sources. Justice Barrett was also mentioned as the replacement for Supreme Justice Anthony Kennedy, who retired in 2018, but President Trump is known to have nominated Brett Caberno in his place and said, “Barrett will stay for Ginsburg.”
In the past, the average time it took to be approved by the Supreme Court was 71 days, the Washington Post reported. So far, the Supreme Court has shown an ideological structure of 5 conservatives and 4 progressives by provision of 9 Supreme Courts.
The Republican Party is trying to increase the number of conservative Supreme Court justices to six to give it a clear conservative advantage, but Democrats are prepared to stop the association. CNN diagnosed that the death of Judge Ginsburg was reshaping the presidential election by stimulating voters from both parties as a result of a new political debate.
