Aatmja Kumari(Intern Journalist): After the death of Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg in the US, President Donald Trump is being considered for the offer of Judge Amy Coney Barrett is. Trump has said that he will announce the name of the nominated member for the Supreme Court in the Rose Garden of the White House on Saturday.
The appointment of Amy as a Supreme Court judge may make a difference to the movement demanding changes in the abortion law here. It will not be easy for him to fill the place of the late Justice Ginsburg, who has been a loud voice for women’s rights. Amy is also considered a good writer. He has also argued on human rights. However, it is difficult to say exactly what the Republican Party will bring to them.
The US Supreme Court consists of 9 judges. At the time of an important decision, if their opinion gets divided into 4-4, then the vote of the judge appointed by the government becomes decisive and if the judge is appointed by the President, then it is believed that he will give the decision in favor of the government.
Nomination for the Supreme Court is very beneficial as judges are appointed for a lifetime and unlike other courts, judges here do not have any retirement age. There is a strong objection from the Democrats on Trump’s offer of this name. Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden has said that nominations for the post need to be made by the winner of the November 3 elections.
