Amy Coney Barrett, an American lawyer, and jurist is set to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg after President Donald Trump selected her for the supreme court. Trump will try to Senate confirmation before Election Day, as Barrett will succeed the late Ruth Bader, who died last Friday.
As per the sources, Trump has settled on Judge Barrett; however, he did not openly mention any clues. Instead, he said, 'You'll find out tomorrow. Look, they're all great. It could be any of one them.'
In case Barrett's selection becomes confirmed, the conservative-leaning justices will have a 6-3 majority on American's highest court for the foreseeable future. Amy Coney Barrett will be the third justice appointed by President Trump; she makes her seat secure after Neil Gorsuch (2017) and Brett Kavanaugh (2018).
Amy Coney Barrett, age 48, is under the shortlist for some time, and she has been considered 'the most appropriate replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.' But before Trump settled on Judge Barrett, conservatives rallied around the nominee.
It appears Barrett is the final choice of the Trump administration to replace the late Ruth Bader.
