Trump correctly seizes opportunity to nominate Supreme Court justice.

President Trump announced his nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court on Saturday, teeing up an epic confirmation battle during the final stretch of the 2020 presidential race.

The nomination of Judge Barrett is Mr.

Judge Barrett would be the youngest justice on the high court at 48 years old, taking the seat left vacant after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last week.

Amy Coney Barrett tapped for Supreme Court, vows to serve American people.

He said Judge Barrett is a towering legal mind who has a strong “loyalty” to the Constitution.

You are going to be fantastic,” the president said to Judge Barrett.

If confirmed, Judge Barrett would be the fifth woman to serve on the Supreme Court and the second to be nominated by a Republican president.

I am truly humbled by the prospect of serving on the Supreme Court,” Judge Barrett said.

Aimee Allison, the founder of the liberal women’s group She the People, said Judge Barrett would be a “detriment to our democracy” if confirmed.

“Judge Amy Coney Barrett in no way fills the immense void Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg left on our highest court.

During her appeals court confirmation hearing in 2017, Judge Barrett vowed to follow precedent as an appeals courtjudge.
