The US mourns the deceased constitutional judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as US President Donald Trump is already planning her successor: Amy Coney Barrett.
The balance of power in the Supreme Court would be turned upside down.
US election 2020
: Constitutional judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg
(87) dies a few weeks before the presidential election.
US President Donald Trump
wants the strict Catholic
Amy Coney Barrett
as a replacement and new constitutional judge.
In the
US,
this is causing a
mighty dispute between
Republicans
and
Democrats
- and suggests
Trump's
goals as a result of a successful election.
Munich - She was the icon of liberalism in the
USA
:
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
.
On Friday (September 18) it became known that the 87-year-old left-liberal lawyer had died.
It is a piece of news that has left the
Democrats
in
particular
in a state of shock.
Because:
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
was a judge at the highest constitutional court, the
Supreme Court
.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead: Donald Trump wants Amy Coney Barrett to succeed him in the Supreme Court
And thus the institution that controls the interpretation of new laws with a view to the constitution.
The staunch feminist had ensured a balanced relationship between
liberals
and
conservatives
in the state organ
.
Immediately after her death,
US President Donald Trump confirmed
that she wanted to fill her post immediately.
. @ GOP We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices.
We have this obligation, without delay!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2020
Before the
2020 US election
on November 3rd.
The favorite is the lawyer
Amy Coney Barrett
- and thus the complete opposite of Ginsburg.
Barrett
, 48 years old, is considered a strict Catholic, is a mother of seven and, according to the New York Times, has "the reputation of a rock star" in conservative circles.
In other words,
those
circles whose voters
Trump
feels particularly committed.
Donald Trump: Amy Coney Barrett's selection represents conservative policy goals
According to FOCUS Online, it is clear where the journey should go if Trump should
be
re
-elected in the 2020 US election
and also become the
46th President of the USA
- towards an even more conservative
America
.
Like
Trump
,
Barrett
is also seen
as an anti-abortionist.
Just an example.
Judge Amy Coney Barrett is the likely front runner to fill the Supreme Court vacancy.
Here's a look at some of the leading candidates.

"Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House," the
US President
said in a speech at the "March for Life" at the end of January on the subject of
abortion
: "Every child is a sacred and precious gift from God."
Amy Coney Barrett: Donald Trump's selection raises concerns among Democrats
Barrett is also given
a conservative interpretation of the law
when it comes to immigration
.
The
Democrats
want to prevent their establishment at all costs before the election in early November, but
Mitch McConnell
, Republican majority leader in the Senate, supports his boss - and has announced that he will let the House of Parliament vote.
There is great indignation among political opponents.
Among other things, the Democrats fear that the health reform of their ex-President
Barack Obama (Obamacare)
could be overturned with the help of Barrett's voice.
And: At the beginning of 2016, the Democrats waived a direct successor in the election year when the conservative constitutional judge Antonin Scalia died during Obama's term in office.
Donald Trump
apparently doesn't care.
