After the death of Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Trump saw an opportunity to appoint a strong defender of conservative values ​​to the Supreme Court, and Democrats are preparing to fight the measure.

The judges of the Supreme Court in America are of great importance as they cannot be removed from their jobs, but rather keep them until death or resignation of their own free will.

This court makes final decisions on fundamental issues at the national level, and it has jurisdiction over the rights of minorities, homosexuals, racism, the death penalty, and electoral disputes.

The new judge will be Trump's third nomination to the Supreme Court since he came to power nearly 4 years ago.

If Trump succeeds in pushing a candidate into the Supreme Court, that would cement the power of the conservative right within the nation's highest court.

On September 9, the Republican president published a list of potential candidates, a move aimed at reassuring political allies and mobilizing conservative voters, especially those against the right to abortion.

But the list is not final.

The president relies on the Republican majority in the Senate to confirm his final choice.

But some Republicans opposed anyone nominating a person for the Supreme Court before the presidential elections scheduled for next November, a position adopted by the Democrats.

Until now, there are two conservative female judges who are most likely to hold the prestigious position:

Amy Barrett is a


judge on a federal appeals court in Chicago, and if she reaches the Supreme Court, she will be the only conservative woman at the top of the judicial hierarchy, because the other two judges, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, are both progressive and were appointed by former President Barack Obama.

Barrett grew up in a suburb of New Orleans and enrolled at Girls' Catholic School, before graduating with honors from Rhodes College in Tennessee.

Later, she obtained her law degree from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, where she was editor of the legal journal, and graduated at the top of her class.

She worked as legal clerk for Judge Antonin Scalia - a conservative pillar of the Supreme Court - until his death in February 2016.

In the legal spheres, she expressed opinions that, according to her critics, reflected her being influenced by traditional religious values.

President Trump appointed Amy Barrett as a judge in the Federal Court of Appeals in Chicago three years ago, and he recently hinted that it is his preferred option to fill the current vacuum in the Supreme Court.

Yuan Larsen,


51, is currently a judge on the Federal Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio.

It is known to be a strong conservative, as it opposes expanding gay rights, and has taken a tough stance on the treatment of prisoners.

She, in turn, worked with the late Judge Scalia, and spent most of her career as a professor at the University of Michigan Law School, before being nominated for that state's Supreme Court.

She also served as a deputy assistant attorney general during the era of former Republican President George W. Bush.

She is known for her adherence to the traditional understanding of the constitution, although in 2010 she wrote an article in which she believed that adherence to the constitution literally does not mean opposition to change.

In 2017 Senator Chuck Grassley said she was an accomplished legal and academic, and revered in the legislature.
