Trump plans to pick Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ginsburg on court
By Alexander Bolton, Morgan Chalfant and Brett Samuels - 09/25/20 05:39 PM EDT

President Trump will nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court on Saturday barring any last second change, multiple people familiar with the process confirmed to The Hill.

Two sources with knowledge of the process said that Barrett is the pick, barring any change of Trump’s mind before Saturday evening’s announcement in the White House Rose Garden.

A Republican official said Trump began informing allies on Capitol Hill of his intention to nominate Barrett, a judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Just got the word on my FOX news feed.

Awesome! The world just changed.

We all knew it would be a woman. That shuts down the Left's 'rape allegations machine' in its tracks.
I am sure the Dems were praying it would be a male. Also, it will be a tiny bit more difficult for the Liberals to smear a woman.
Not that it will stop their smear machine in the least.
Dems/Liberals/Communist are like piranhas. Black/White, Gay/Straight, Male/Female anything, they don't care.
If they perceive you as an enemy, they will eat you alive regardless of how many 'Get out of Jail Free' cards you may hold.

Not really. They will just get Dim women to do all the criticizing,and the males will stay quiet.

Yes of course. But they can't do a Kavanaugh on her, claiming unsubstantiated vague rape charges from 30+ years ago.
I'm sure the Dems are disappointed by the choice. They were praying for an Old White Man who they could rip to shreds with unfounded smears.

And the collective Liberal banshee wail begins.

If the rats can smear a black man to hell and back in today's social environment they can smear anyone.

Be prepared for Barrett to be portrayed as a Stepford Wife intent on turning America into the Handmaid's Tale.

It is a woman because no woman who served in the history of the Supreme Court was conservative.

We needed one, and desperately.

Anybody who thinks things through should have seen Ms. Barrett as the replacement for Ginsburg since back about the time of the Kavanaugh nomination.

Now... with Ms. Barrett nominated by Mr. Trump, the ball is knocked into Mitch McConnell's "court".

Mr. McConnell ought to announce a firm schedule for hearings/confirmation.

Hearings should be kept SHORT -- two or three days at most, and NO DELAYS for whatever reason. Ms. Barrett was just vetted through hearings in 2017, so it shouldn't take much to "bring her up to speed" for the last three years.

You know she's going to be attacked primarily for her religion and for the adopted children -- better get both potential issues vetted COMPLETELY. And I DON'T CARE about the Constitutional provision of "no religious tests" -- the democrat-communists are going to use this as an attack vector, and it should be confronted.

Mr. McConnell should also set a tentative date for the final confirmation vote, last 2-3 days of October at the latest.
AND STICK TO IT -- don't let any of the Pubbies go wobbly on you, Mitch.

Get Ms. Barrett confirmed on October 30, and get her sworn in on November 1st or 2nd in as auspicious a ceremony that can be arranged.

If the Pubbie Senators do this, it will give their constituents "something to vote FOR" on November 3rd...
