    .

Update from September 26, 8:37 a.m

.: Shortly before her death, the American judge

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

wished that her place at the

Supreme Court should

only be filled after the election.

Now it looks like

President Donald Trump has

already found a possible successor, who he wants to introduce on Saturday.

The evidence of the nomination of the

conservative lawyer Amy Coney Barrett is

growing.

Trump intends to propose Barrett as a candidate on Saturday, reported on Friday, among others, the TV stations

CNN

and

CBS

as well as the

New York Times

.

They cited people who are

familiar

with the

selection process

.

Trump had announced that he would nominate a

woman for the office,

and there are several applicants on his list.

Barrett was already

traded

as the most

promising candidate

.

She has been a judge at an

appeals court

since 2017

.

The 48-year-old is a mother of seven and is considered deeply religious.

Barrett is also known as an

anti-abortionist

.

That makes your candidacy

attractive

for

arch-conservative circles

.

The judge is accused by liberal circles to this day of a sentence that she is

said to have uttered

during her work as a

law professor

at the renowned Catholic private university Notre Dame.

In a lecture she said that a career in the judiciary is only a “means to an end”, the goal is “to build up the kingdom of God”, as

In the

United States

, it is considered a rare honor to be laid out in the Capitol after death.

Bader Ginsburg

is only the second woman in the history of the United States to receive this honor.

In 2005 the civil rights activist Rosa Parks was laid out in the Capitol after her death.

In addition,

Bader Ginsburg is

also the first person of Jewish faith to be honored in this way.

The chief

judge

died of cancer last Friday at the age of 87.

This left Bader Ginsburg's last wish - to see

Donald Trump

lose his election

- unfulfilled.

Judge Ginsburg's death: Trump expresses doubts about her last wish

Update from September 22, 9:50 a.m.:

The judge at the US Supreme Court,

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

,

who died on Friday,

is to be commemorated in several ceremonies.

According to the

Supreme Court

, a memorial service with friends, family and other judges will take place

on Wednesday

.

Ginsburg's body is then laid out under the pillar of the court.

There, citizens can pay their last respects to the judge on Wednesday and Thursday.

On Friday the coffin is to be transferred to the Capitol, where another private funeral ceremony will take place.

The following week,

Ginsburg

is to be

buried in

Arlington National

Cemetery.

The Spiegel reports.

Meanwhile, US President

Donald Trump

expressed doubts about

Ginsburg

's ultimate wish not to be replaced before a new president is elected and in office.

According to the broadcaster

NPR

, Ginsburg made this

statement

a few days before her death to

her granddaughter Clara Spera

.

The transmitter

Fox News

said

Trump

, he did not know whether

Ginsburg

told the or so from the

Democratic opponents in Congress

had been formulated, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff.

"I would tend to prefer the second," said the US President.

After the death of Judge Ginsburg: Trump before decision with gigantic impact

Update from September 21, 3:15 p.m.: US President Donald Trump

seems to

be serious about

the nomination of a new

judge

for the

Supreme Court

.

"I think it will be Friday or Saturday,"

Trump

told

Fox News on Monday.

He added that he would wait until after the funeral.

Trump

would

then appoint a judge

less than 50 days before the

US presidential election

, who then holds her position for life.

After the death of the liberal

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

, the

Supreme Court

could become

significantly more conservative than before in the event of a successful nomination of Trump's candidate - which has not yet been finalized.

The

Democrats

had

asked

the

US president

to leave the nomination to the newly elected president after the election.

So either

Donald Trump,

who was confirmed in office,

or his competitor

Joe Biden

.

Supreme Court judges must be approved by the Senate.

Trump's Republicans currently hold 53 out of 100 seats.

Meanwhile, the Manhattan prosecutor is apparently preparing a 

criminal case

 against the 

US president

 .

The German bank is also involved.

Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Joe Biden accuses Donald Trump of abuse of power

First report from September 21, 2020:

Washington DC - Just three days after the death of Chief

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,

a battle for the successor of the renowned lawyer at the

Supreme Court

breaks out in the US capital

.

US President Donald Trump *

wants to appoint a successor to Bader Ginsburg for the

Supreme Court

as soon as possible

.

Since the judges at the Supreme Court hold their office for life, Trump could

push through a decision of enormous political significance

just under a month and a half before the

presidential election

*

.

Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Joe Biden accuses Donald Trump of abuse of power

An absurdity when it comes to Trump's competitor

Joe Biden *

goes.

The Democratic

presidential candidate

on Sunday vehemently opposed to choosing a successor for

Bader Ginsburg

before the election

.

A fast-track process for the appointment of a female Supreme Court judge so shortly before the election would amount to an "abuse of power" by the

US President

, said the 77-year-old in Philadelphia.

The AFP reports.

Biden also

called on the Republican members of the

US Senate

to oppose such a decision: “Keep your constitutional duty, your conscience.

Let the people speak.

Cools the flames that have hit our country, "said the

Democrat

in the direction of the senators.

Donald Trump: Few senators could prevent the US President's plans

As it stands now, the

Republican

camp is

divided on this decision.

The Texan Senator Ted Cruz emphasized that the American people

would need

a fully occupied

Supreme Court

in the event of a controversial election

and that the position could therefore not be left vacant.

But two other Republican senators - Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski - spoke out on Sunday against a fast-track trial for the nomination of a successor to

Bader Ginsburg

.

Since the Republicans

only have a majority of 53 to 47 seats

in the

Senate,

just a few Republican votes would be enough to block

Trump's

*

plans.

Especially since in the ranks of the Republicans with Chuck Grassley and the former presidential

candidate Mitt Romney there are

two more wobbly candidates.

Successor to Bader Ginsburg: Nancy Pelosi threatens Donald Trump with a blockade

In addition, the Democratic majority leader in the

House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi

announced that she would block an emergency procedure for the successor to Ruth Bader Ginsburg if necessary.

"We have arrows in our quiver that we will not talk about at the moment," the 80-year-old told ABC.

Pelosi has already shown himself to be a bitter opponent of the

US President

*

in the past

.

Which "arrows" the

Democrat is

alluding to is still unclear, however, as the House of Representatives has no influence on the nomination of judges at the

Supreme Court

.
