Amy Connie Barrett, President Donald Trump's candidate for the United States Supreme Court, was an unrecognized law professor until four years ago and her meteoric rise worries Democrats and left-wing circles in the United States.

They fear that with her expected appointment to the Senate, presumably even before the election, many areas dear to their hearts will suffer a severe blow.

The 48-year-old Barrett is a devout Catholic, and is described as having an ideology opposite to that of the liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The death of the feminist sergeant at 87 last week gave the right a chance to increase the conservative majority in the Supreme Court to six from just three liberal judges.

Trump appointed her a judge in a federal court of appeals in Chicago in 2017, and his associates said she drew his attention during hearings in the Senate, and dealt, among other things, with the impact of her faith on her legal decisions.

At a White House ceremony, in which he introduced Barrett as his candidate, the president said she would be the first judge on the Supreme Court to be a mother to school children.

If her appointment is indeed approved, she will be the fifth judge ever ever.

Ginsburg was second.

Barrett added that she intends to judge in the style of former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in 2016 and is considered a staunch conservative who was friendly with Ginzburg.

Barrett even once worked as a clerk for him.

According to her, the role of the judge focuses on the application of the law and not on its interpretation.

"His judicial philosophy is mine too," she said.

"A judge must apply the law as he puts it, judges are not policy makers."

She described him as her mentor, and as someone who had a tremendous impact on her life.

Among other things, Scalia voted in favor of restricting the right to abortion, was among those opposed to same-sex marriage approval - he called it a "judicial coup" - and broadly supported the right to bear arms.

"Ideological fanatic."

In its future and even more conservative composition, the Supreme Court may take the United States to the right when it comes to burning issues, such as reducing the right to abortion, expanding religious rights, repealing gun control laws, halting the expansion of LGBT community rights and supporting restricting voter rights. "He also has a crucial role to play in the November election, when Trump is already preparing the ground for legal battles with his Democratic opponent Joe Biden.

" The United States Constitution was formulated to give voters a chance to speak on the identity of Supreme Court members, "Biden said in a statement. This moment is now, and their voice needs to be heard.

The Senate should not act to fill the seat until U.S. citizens elect the next president and congress. "

Barrett noted in a White House ceremony the" glass ceilings "that Ginsburg broke, which on Friday was the first ever woman and the first ever Jewish man to win. To place his coffin on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Battle for the top: Biden and Trump will try to inflame their base

To the full article

Despite the praise she has bestowed on the liberal judge, and her outreach to her ideological rivals similar to her mentor, liberal activists fear regression in many areas where there have been groundbreaking judgments in recent years, such as in the area of ​​gay community rights.

"Judge Ginsburg was a brilliant lawyer who dedicated her life to promoting gender equality and civil rights for all," said Megan Hatcher-Mace, a senior member of the Indivisible Field Movement.

"Amy Connie Barrett can not argue for the same thing. The idea that she could replace RBG in the Supreme Court is an insult to RBG's life and legacy."

Barrett is sympathetic to organizations that oppose abortion and want to overturn Row's historic ruling against Wade in 1973, and activists and activists fear it will support laws restricting the right to abortion in various states.

"Life begins with conception," the conservative Indiana judge previously said.

"Poor judicial record"

Other activists have expressed their concern about the harm to the environment, given its expected opposition to restrictions on polluting corporations. "Judge Barrett is an ideological fanatic who lacks the temperament to rule fairly for the interests of all Americans," said Brett Hartl, director of relations with the administration at the Center for Biodiversity. "Her meager judicial record shows she is hostile to the environment and she will slam the court doors in front of public interest advocates, to the delight of polluting corporations. Environmental justice, our environment and endangered animals will suffer if Barrett's appointment is approved."

In addition, Barrett may already be part of the panel that will hear Nov. 10 in a Republican petition to repeal Obama-Cold, a law that provides affordable medical care. Democrats are expected to focus on the future of the law passed in 2010 during Senate hearings.

Trump, who met with Barrett this week, believes the Supreme Court will be required to decide the election, something that happened once in American history, in 2000. The president said "it is important that we have nine judges," promoting the baseless allegations of widespread counterfeiting by mail. A new phenomenon in American politics.

Brian Fallon, director of Demand Justice, said that "Barrett's positions may wink at Trump's base, but they will make it clear to everyone that what is at stake is nothing less than Obama-Kerr's continued existence" and the right to abortion. "Democrats in the Senate should be prepared to oppose this election at all costs," he stressed.
