[Global Network Express] According to the "Capitol Hill" news, several people familiar with the matter revealed that US President Trump will nominate conservative judge Amy Coney Barrett (Amy Coney Barrett) to succeed on the 26th local time. Ginsburg (Ruth Bader Ginsburg) serves as justice of the Supreme Court.
According to reports, Barrett is the nominee, unless Trump makes other changes before the results are announced on the afternoon of the 26th.
Since the death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg, Trump has met at the White House on the 21st with Judge Barrett of the Chicago Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. She is a conservative judge from Louisiana and currently succeeding Kim. The most popular candidate for the post of Justice Sperge.
According to CNN, Barrett, 48, is the mother of seven children, two of whom were adopted from Haiti.
Husband Jesse Barrett is a former federal prosecutor and is now a lawyer in private practice.
Barrett was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1972, and is a "faithful Catholic."
In 1997, she received a Juris Doctor from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.
For the next two years, Barrett served successively in the Washington, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court, and served as a clerk for the late Justice Anthony Scalia.
Subsequently, Barrett left the government and worked as a private lawyer for two more years.
In 2017, Barrett was appointed by the current US President Trump as a judge of the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Federal Circuit.
Since taking office, she has repeatedly demonstrated her conservative stance in areas such as gun rights, abortion and immigration.
In 2019, in the Kanter v. Barr case, although the Court of Appeal upheld the original verdict and prohibited the felon from holding guns, Barrett objected that the “freedom of guns” in the Second Amendment to the Constitution applies to all citizens.
On the issue of immigration, Barrett is consistent with Trump and has a tougher attitude towards immigration.
In June 2020, she objected to a panel of the Seventh Circuit to retain a district court decision that temporarily prevented Trump from a policy that put green card applicants at a disadvantage.
Barrett emphasized that the Trump administration's actions are not "unreasonable."
CNN said that this is not the first time Barrett has been included in the list of candidates for justice. In 2018, Barrett's name appeared on the list of candidates to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.
