President Donald Trump is expected to select Amy Coney Barrett to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s vacant seat on the Supreme Court, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter
.
One source, a senior Republican official, said the president indicated earlier this week he’d decided on Barrett. The Senate Judiciary Committee is looking to hold confirmation hearings the week of October 12. Senate Republicans are aiming to confirm Barrett before the election. Both Trump and some Republican senators have suggested that there needs to be nine justices on the bench ahead of the election, in case the Supreme Court is required to step in to decide the result.
Democrats are still seething over Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s decision in 2016 to block President Barack Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland from getting a hearing in the Senate, arguing at the time that the American people should decide given that it was an election year. But McConnell and Senate Republicans say that Trump’s nominee is different because unlike in 2016, the White House and the Senate are now controlled by the same party.
