What Amy Coney Barrett's nomination means for the US Supreme Court

U.S. President Donald Trump named Judge Amy Coney Barrett as his candidate for the U.S. Supreme Court, and is trying to force her confirmation before the November presidential election.

The move comes as Democrats continue to call for a pause to the process due to the election being less than 40 days away, saying the nominee to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg should be named by the winner of the election.

Jennifer Johnson reports on what Coney Barrett's nomination means for America's highest court and why Democrats fear the decision could alter it for years.

Clarence Thomas will retire in the next Trump term and will give Trump another pick

"Dogma lives loudly within you."

Man, the irony of a Democrat saying that right now.

[arts]

she will be a great supreme court judge. 👍

[kingvinhphat]

Thank God for Great Leader! Trump four more years. Great news. God bless America!

[ymomln]

Dogma means strong principles, they are afraid of her if she is solid catholic. Lets hope she is.

Why is a 'devout' religious person (of any religion) a good pick to a judge? Ever? ....A victory for the religious right in the USA is a huge loss for common sense in the USA, far as I can tell....at least she doesn't seem over-the-top on the abortion issue.

Trying to "Force" the confirmation? Global you are pathetic. Trump simply nominates and then it is out of his hands. It's his constitutional duty to do so. Grow some ethics in Journalism and stop pushing an angle.

She’s young, smart, a wife, a mother and a fabulous career! She got it all! God Bless Her!

[northerner]

stupid conjecture on she was nominated because of religion...usual liberal/socialist rhetoric.

[palmdodo]

plus one more on the list, her intelligence will make Freeland looks like crying baby from kindergarten.

Why do people hold on so tightly to murder their babies. So sad we live on a world where women say it's reproductive Rights they're concerned about but what they're really talking about is the rights to not reproduce and cover up their sinful mistakes of fornicating art of wedlock and then wanting to murder the child so they can continue on with their sinful lifestyle.

The fool has done yet another wrong move. This could very well cause him to lose his power🤞🇨🇦

She is attractive for a 48-year-old. I don't support rump. However, I like to see her more.

[mrobject]

Comment section invaded by Russian bots, beware.

= Handmaids Tale!
What a humiliation to a great legacy, putting a crazy woman in Ruths place.
Bizarre and very dark times we are living in.

[morphkogan]

Handmaid's tale IRL. This is very bad

No respete a los vivos mucho menos a YA ESTAN MUERTOS COMO BAREN G.

[luzauroracorreamari]

TRUMP NO AMA LA PAZ NI LA CONSTITUCION PORQUE RESPETARIA A RUTH BAREN B.
