On September 26, local time, US President Trump announced at the White House that Amy Coney Barrett (Amy Coney Barrett) was nominated as Supreme Court Justice to replace the vacancy left by the late Justice Ginsberg .
At the nomination announcement event held in the Rose Garden of the White House, Trump rated Barrett as "one of the most outstanding and talented legal talents" in the United States. Women who are unwaveringly loyal to the Constitution".
Barrett accepted the nomination at the White House that day and said that if her nomination is confirmed, she will perform her duties faithfully and fairly under the US Constitution.
Barrett, 48, is considered a conservative judge.
She was nominated by Trump to serve as a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 2017.
Prior to that, she served as a professor of law at the University of Notre Dame in the United States and served as an assistant to the late "conservative" Justice Scalia in the late 1990s.
The Republican Party, which holds a majority in the Senate, hopes to quickly complete the nomination confirmation process for the new justice before November; while the Democratic Party believes that the new president should be nominated after the general election.
The Democratic presidential candidate Biden issued a statement on the same day that he opposed naming a new justice before the election.
He said, "The purpose of the U.S. Constitution is to give voters an opportunity to express their opinions on the candidates for the Supreme Court justice."
