Trump vows Supreme Court nominee will be ‘very talented, very brilliant woman’ NY Post, Sep 19, 2020
President Trump will announce a Supreme Court nominee in the coming week — and his pick will be a woman, he promised Saturday night.
“It will be a woman. A very talented, very brilliant woman who I haven’t chosen yet, but we have a number of women on the list,†the president promised cheering supporters at an evening rally in Fayetteville, NC.
Trump opened the rally by saying he joins with the nation in mourning the loss of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday night at 87 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
“Her landmark rulings, fierce devotion to justice and her courageous battle against cancer inspire all Americans,†he said.
“She was an inspiration to a tremendous number of people. I say all Americans.â€
Chants of “Fill the seat!†rose from the crowd as he defended his right to select Ginsburg’s successor, even with a presidential election looming.
“It [the Constitution] says the president is supposed to fill that seat, right?†Trump thundered.
“And that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to fill that seat.â€
