President Donald Trump is wasting no time getting a new conservative HD judge after liberal Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away last Friday.
Already on Sunday he made it clear that he will not wait for the result of the presidential elections and said that this week he would nominate a new conservative candidate for the empty seat.
Waiting until the Ginsburg funeral ceremony is over
On Monday, he appeared on the Fox television show Fox and Friends, where he said the nomination will take place on Friday or Saturday.
This is because the Ginsburg funeral ceremony will take place first.
– I think it will be Friday or Saturday and we want to express respect. It looks like we will have the ceremony on Thursday or Friday, as I understand it, and I think we should, out of respect for Ginsburg, wait until the ceremony is over, Donald Trump says on the show.
Trump says he is now among five candidates.
It is already clear that Trump intends to nominate a woman.
– I think it should be a woman, because I like women much more than men, said the president at the campaign rally in Fayetteville on Sunday.
Democrats warn that women’s rights may be restricted
The women who have been mentioned as potential new HD judges are Joan Larsen, Britt Grant, Barbara Lagoa and Allison Eid according to USA Today, but Amy Coney Barrett is the one who has been singled out as Trump’s favorite.
Donald Trump has asked the Senate to vote as soon as he names his candidate.
Another conservative judge would lead to a strong conservative majority on the Supreme Court, and Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has warned it could have far-reaching consequences.
According to him, it can affect, among other things, health, the rights of women and homosexuals, the climate problem and labor legislation.
“Our great goal must be to communicate to the American people what is at stake in this fight,” Schumer said during a conversation with his colleagues last Saturday, reports Business Insider.
Donald Trump: “We actually won the election”
– The fact is that we won the election and we have a responsibility to do the right thing and act as quickly as possible, Donald Trump said on Fox and Friends.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg turned 87 and was a member of the Supreme Court for 27 of these.
He died in the suites of pancreatic cancer.
