Donald Trump wants to go fast, but not too fast either.
The US president said Monday that he would appoint a new judge for the Supreme Court of the United States this week to succeed Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday at 87 years of age from cancer.

The US president said he wanted to wait until the end of the funeral ceremonies for Judge Ginsburg, before launching the highly politicized process of succession.
But he still felt that the Senate, with a Republican majority, had "plenty of time" to confirm the appointment of a new judge before the presidential election on November 3.
"The final vote (of the Senate) will have to be held before the election. We have plenty of time," he insisted on Fox News.
