LIVE: Biden Delivers Remarks on Trump's Supreme Court Pick in Wilmington, Delaware

(Sept. 27) Watch live as Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden delivers remarks on the U.S. Supreme Court Wilmington, Delaware, on Sunday, September 27, 2020.

President Donald Trump said he’ll nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court, moving to add his third justice to the bench and a fresh jolt to his faltering campaign just weeks before Americans vote on whether to give him a second term.

If confirmed by the Senate, Barrett, known to be a devout Catholic who considers abortion “always immoral,” would fill the seat vacated by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The loss of liberal icon Ginsburg and the confirmation of the conservative Barrett, 48, could cement the court’s rightward shift for a generation.

“Today it is my honor to nominate one of our nation’s most brilliant and gifted legal minds to the Supreme Court, Judge Amy Coney Barrett,” Trump said during a White House ceremony on Saturday. “Barrett is a woman of remarkable intellect and character. She is eminently qualified for the job.”

Barrett, speaking at the ceremony, paid respect to Ginsburg, saying the late justice “not only broke glass ceilings, she smashed them.”

“I fully understand that this is a momentous decision for a president and if the Senate does me the honor of confirming me, I pledge to discharge the responsibilities of this job to the very best of my ability,” Barrett said. “Should I be confirmed, I will be mindful of who came before me.”

Wow, unless his team is going to be fed the debate questions beforehand so they can answer in his ear piece, the debates may be brutal.

“The president has the constitutional duty to nominate, the Senate has
the constitutional obligation to provide advice and consent, ” ~ Joe

[nicoletarus]

So laughable. " truth " is not in Joe's vocabulary

[letsgobrandonn]

"Never before in history has a president nominated a supreme court pick during an election year."
"President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to the supreme court in 2016."

[bonnieblenders]

The press is so much more friendly to him.

[donthetrader]

Gosh ! This guy starts off telling lies about the nomination. This is the 29 th time in an election year.

[TheCasualGamer]

So with that are you saying 4 more years before a SCOTUS is decided on? The law doesn’t honor a wish.

[lambwarrir]

I wouldn't let my worst enemy within 100 feet of this incoherent demon-politician thing.

[sangmao]

This Guy should become CNN anchor. He's at least capable of reading.

[hedgehogpancakes]

"It wasn't a personal request..."

Dude, that's LITERALLY what it was. I don't care how much you idolize someone NOBODY is above the constitutional law.

[Andy-dffj]

Let's hear the recording of her final wish or it didn't happen. Anyone can put whatever of their own words in her mouth they want.

[alaskangal]

Amy is a great choice! God bless her and her family! 🙏

[rumm]

If there was ever a perfect example of a screw loose, this guy is it.

[GodofLovers]

At least in this video we can clearly see that he can still read of a prompt. I guess he has that going for him.

[nenepinolero]

His only complain is that he didn't get to sniff her out.

[Logan]

I look forward to hearing the "truth" Tuesday night
