President Trump is reportedly keeping Judge Amy Coney Barrett on the back burner just in case Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg decides to retire while he’s in office.
“I’m saving her for Ginsburg,” Trump has told advisers and several other people in various conversations, including when he was discussing Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, Axios reported.
Conservatives wanted Barrett to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, given her age, Catholic faith and her openness to overturning Roe v. Wade, but Trump was reportedly concerned that Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) — whom he reportedly refers to as “the women” — wouldn’t vote for her given her stance on abortion, per Axios.
This is Trump’s payback to Mitch for helping burying Mueller’s report.
Mitch is just using Trump to back the high courts with Conservative to change the laws of the land for the next 40 years.
The moment Trump appoints anyone Mitch doesn’t want…the reports come out and Pence gets sworn in as #46.
Elections have consequences.
I hope that Judge Barrett goes down in history along with other “almost” justices. Like Merrick Garland.
Trump is concerned about Collins? He gets dumber by the day.
Make sure the lid’s on nice and tight while you’re saving her because Notorious isn’t going anywhere, buddy. She waiting you out, actually. And she’s a tough old bird.
That’s funny, Donald. Because the rest of us are saving up a 400-pound guy in his mother’s basement to replace you. And he’ll do a better job and everyone will like him better and his inauguration will have, like, a million people.
