President Trump Nominates Conservatives as Supreme Court Judge Fierce Controversy September 27, 11:48
US President Trump has appointed conservative Judge Barrett to replace the liberal judge of the Supreme Court and hoped for parliamentary approval before the November presidential election.
Opposition and Democratic parties have argued that the appointment of the Supreme Court, which has a long-term impact on American society, should be done after the election, and fierce controversy is expected.
President Trump announced at a press conference at the White House on the 26th that he had appointed conservative Judge Amy Barrett to replace the liberal Judge Ginsburg of the Supreme Court, who died this month.
President Trump praised him as "a woman with unparalleled achievements and great intelligence," and Barrett said, "If approved by the Senate, we will do our best to take responsibility for this task."
The appointment of the federal Supreme Court justice requires the approval of the Senate, and the ruling and Republican parties, which make up the majority, will be nominated and will soon enter the procedure.
The affairs of the Federal Supreme Court have been a major controversy, as they have long-term implications for the final judicial decision on the issue of life-dividing American society.
There are nine judges, five conservatives and four liberals, but Mr. Barrett, who was nominated this time, is known and approved as a conservative who is critical of abortion and gun regulation. For example, there are 6 conservatives and 3 liberals.
President Trump is aiming to solidify the support of conservatives who oppose abortion, and told reporters, "The approval process will proceed quickly. It will end before the election." He expressed his hope for pre-election approval.
Opposition and Democratic Party, on the other hand, are increasingly skeptical that the Supreme Court may have a long-term conservative dominance if approved, and Biden said, "The Supreme Court's decision is in the daily lives of the people. It will affect you. You should listen to the voices of the voters, "he said, saying that personnel affairs should be done after the election.
With the presidential election approaching about a month later, the appointment of a Supreme Court justice has become a serious issue, and fierce controversy is expected in the future.
