The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that he will nominate five final candidates for the successor of Federal Judge Ruth Vader Ginsburg, who died on the 18th.
President Trump said in a telephone interview with Fox TV on the 21st (local time): “Since Judge Ginsburg’s funeral is scheduled for the 24th or 25th, we will announce the candidates after the funeral to show respect for Ginsburg.” said. He also said: “All five are women.” The US media sees three main candidates: Amy Connie Barrett (48), Superior Court Judge, Barbara Lagoa (52), Superior Law Judge, Allison Rushing (38), Superior Court Judge. All of them were recommended by conservative legal organizations, and they had the common point that they were appointed federal high court judges under the Trump administration and built a ‘female justice candidate specification’.
Earlier on the 19th, less than 24 hours after Ginsburg’s death, Trump announced on the 19th that “there are many talented and intelligent Supreme Court candidates.” However, this interview stated that the nomination will be expedited immediately after Ginsburg’s funeral.
While Trump makes the nomination of the former Supreme Court judge official in the television debate (29), the interest of the US presidential election, with only six weeks to go, focuses on the issue of the ‘nomination of the Federal Justice’. For Trump, it is very likely that he judged that the approval of the Supreme Court was of great interest to the voters, which was advantageous to collect the conservative votes. The focus of this presidential election, which was initially viewed as a ‘Trump umpire war’ due to the inability to deal with the crown crisis, is interpreted to suddenly shift to the ‘election recognized by the Supreme Justice’ . In particular, Trump is beaten by former Vice President Joe Biden, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, in the approval ratings of women voters. .
However, some of the Republicans are protesting the appointment of the Supreme Court justice. There is a precedent that the Republican Party blocked President Barack Obama’s nomination as a progressive Supreme Court because it was 10 months before the 2016 presidential election. It means that you cannot change the words now. Currently, Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkausky have voiced their opposition, but if more than four voters leave the Republican Party, the pre-election Supreme Court Chief Justice’s nomination could be thrown out.
The Biden side of the Democratic Party is also showing its willingness not to be pressured on the issue of the nomination for Supreme Court justice. From the beginning of this year, Biden said: “If I become president, I will appoint the first black justice of the Supreme Court”, and the 20 reaffirmed this position. However, she does not reveal her list of candidates under the principle that “Ginsburg’s successors must be nominated by the winner of the November presidential election.” On this day, he also said: “If I am elected, the Trump nomination must be withdrawn.”
