“#Amy Coney Barrett nominated to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n President Trump has named Judge Amy Coney Barrett as his choice to replace late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court \u2014 a long-sought victory for conservatives and the anti-abortion movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stand \u00a0before you today to fulfill one of my highest and most important duties under the United States Constitution,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt is my honor to nominate one of our nation\u2019s most brilliant and gifted legal minds to the Supreme Court \u2026 Judge Amy Coney Barrett.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barrett\u2019s nomination seals one of the most ambitious promises of Trump\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign: the conservative transformation of the federal judiciary. If she is confirmed, the court would lean to the right, six justices to three, for years to come.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old mother of seven would be the Court\u2019s youngest justice by five years. The lifetime app<\/a>ointment could mean a decades-long tenure that would remake American jurisprudence for a generation.<\/p>\n

Barrett, a first-in-her-class graduate of Notre Dame Law School, would also be the only non-Ivy Leaguer on the nation\u2019s highest court \u2014 a subtle nod to Trump\u2019s populist base.<\/p>\n

The choice cements Trump\u2019s bond with the religious right, a key Republican constituency, just five weeks before Election Day.<\/p>\n

Conservative Christians have claimed Barrett as a heroine since 2017, when Trump nominated her to a seat on the Chicago-based 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.<\/p>\n

At her confirmation hearing, Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.) grilled Barrett on her Catholic faith. \u201cThe conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you, and that\u2019s of concern,\u201d Feinstein said \u2014 a comment that, to Republicans, smacked of an unconstitutional religious test for the office.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarrett is the ultimate deliverable for the pro-life movement,\u201d George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley told The Post. \u201cFor conservatives, Barrett is the trifecta with the two prior Trump nominees,\u201d Associate Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n

She is seen as a judge in the originalist mold of Justice Antonin Scalia, for whom she served as a clerk before launching a celebrated career in academia.<\/p>\n

Barrett became a professor of law at Notre Dame and a noted legal scholar of statutory and constitutional interpretation, known for incisive papers arguing that the meaning of any law must remain tethered to its history and its framers\u2019 original intent.<\/p>\n

But with only three years on the bench, Barrett\u2019s judicial record is limited. She has forcefully endorsed a Second Amendment guarantee<\/a> of an individual right to own guns, and wrote a scathing decision defending male students\u2019 rights to due process in campus sex-assault tribunals.<\/p>\n

She has also applied a by-the-book interpretation of immigration law \u2014 including a case siding with the Trump administration\u2019s effort to restrict welfare benefits for non-citizens.<\/p>\n

While Barrett on Monday was endorsed by the Susan B. Anthony List, a top anti-abortion advocacy group, she has been careful not to condemn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that made abortion a constitutional right.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe clearly testified that she will set aside her personal beliefs and follow the law,\u201d said Mike Davis, president of the conservative Article III Project. \u201cAnd her three years on the 7th circuit have made crystal clear that that is what she has done.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in scholarly papers, Barrett has explored the idea<\/a> that past Supreme Court cases may be overturned, despite the precedents they have set, if the cases were \u201cwrongly decided.\u201d One such case, she noted, was Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), an important abortion decision that upheld and modified Roe.<\/p>\n

An outright overturn of Roe will likely remain a bridge too far, even for a Supreme Court dominated by conservatives, experts say.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think the conservative justices have the stomachs or the intellectual inclination for such a radical move,\u201d said prominent First Amendment attorney Ron Coleman. \u201cWhat I do think, however, is that they\u2019ll begin the process of trimming back what has become an absolutist, unconditional right to abortion under all circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made it a personal crusade to confirm as many Trump-nominated federal judges as possible, to the Democrats\u2019 chagrin.<\/p>\n

The Senate has installed 218 of Trump\u2019s nominees<\/a> in federal court seats \u2014 more than any first-term president since 1980, and more that a quarter of all active judges on the bench.<\/p>\n

The fast-track plan to confirm Barrett ahead of the Nov. 3 election comes despite opposition by two GOP senators, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, but no one else has broken ranks.<\/p>\n

A Judiciary Committee hearing on the nomination could begin as soon as Oct. 12, and a confirmation vote in the Senate \u2014 where Republicans have a 53-47 majority \u2014 could be held Oct. 29.<\/p>\n

Democrats have been crying foul because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) refused to let lawmakers consider then-President Barack Obama\u2019s SCOTUS nomination of District of Columbia Circuit Court Judge Merrick Garland following the death of death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in February 2016, on grounds it was an election year.<\/p>\n

But the Dems have few tools to derail McConnell\u2019s plan to immedia<\/a>tely fill Ginsburg\u2019s seat. With a 53-seat Senate majority and almost all of his caucus in lockstep behind him, McConnell has no incentive to wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no question about the right to do it,\u201d said Coleman. \u201cI worry about the threat to the integrity of the Constitutional process posed by the cynical campaign to convince the public otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the political fallout could be widespread \u2014 and unpredictable.<\/p>\n

A third of the Senate is up for re-election in just 38 days, including eight members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Contentious confirmation hearings could help vulnerable Republican Sens. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) burnish their records \u2014 or could drive opposition turnout in their closely divided states.<\/p>\n

None of the three Judiciary Committee Democrats up for re-election are at any risk of losing. But those with showboat tendencies, like Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), will undoubtedly make the most of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the hearings will provide an unexpected stage for the Democrats\u2019 vice presidential nominee, who is also a Judiciary Committee member.<\/p>\n

\u201cMitch McConnell is giving Kamala Harris free airtime to rally the base,\u201d said a Democratic Senate insider. \u201cYou are just giving the veep nominee a platform to roast a conservative justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

But if Harris appears to attack the nominee based on her religious convictions \u2014 even as her running mate, Joe Biden, woos Catholic voters in Florida and the Rust Belt \u2014 the opportunity could backfire.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Democrats want to pursue their unconstitutional religious test and anti-Catholic bigotry, it will turn out very badly for them on November 3,\u201d Davis said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
