Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.is expected to put forth a nominee to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat in the coming days, multiple sources close to the president and with direct knowledge of the situation told ABC News.
The sources describes the list of potential nominees as very short and including at least one woman. U.S. Circuit Judge Amy Coney Barrett is seen as a leading contender, two sources tell ABC News. Sources add that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has already been in touch with members of the Republican caucus after news of Ginsburg’s passing was announced.
Barrett, a former Notre Dame law professor who previously clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia, was confirmed to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago back in October 2017.
Vote BLUE across the board! Hit them with another blue wave. Quench their thirst. 🌊🌊🌊
Pledged to push the efforts of a Republican Potus, but worked against that of a Democratic one in the highest office. Zero bipartisanship, zero accountability. All treason.
👍👍
Worthless
“The president has the constitutional DUTY to nominate; the Senate has the constitutional OBLIGATION to provide advice and consent. It is written plainly in the Constitution that both presidents and senators swear an oath to uphold and defend.” - Joe Biden
Mitch the Ghoul was drooling before RGB's body got cold.
Hey ABC - Why is the headline and tweet what McConnell's press release says instead of McConnell's hypocrisy regarding the treatment of Merrick Garland's nomination which is real news and something many casual observers should know about?
The sooner the better. We don’t need a socialist on the highest court.
A man who would lie about replacing a supreme court justice is not a man I will believe about any campaign promises. Jobs? Protecting Social Security? A decent healthcare plan? When its no longer expedient, they won't remember what they said.
The 76th amendment guarantees us that freedom!, I would do exactly what we did then.. I can tell you from experience., The answer is I would call out the military.. My times up. Yes sir.. I 'm incredibly grateful for you
Can some one explain to the rage donors what Theresa Greenfield , Dr. Al Gross, Mike Espy, Rev Warnock can do with $48 M they donated to Amy McGrath ! Seriously! 4 seats which we can actually pressure to stop this nomination! Wake up ! Pass on this message
PIG
If you look at words of Schumer & Obama in *2016*, they both said nominees should be appointed quickly, and NOT held up!
Republicans are fighting for the unequal treatment of Americans if they are Democrats. Republicans are fighting against America. Republicans want only Republicans to be afforded fairness under US Laws. FascistGOP TrumpFascism AntiAmericanGOP
It is immoral (and should be illegal) to make an important decision like this at this moment while people are already 'actively voting' for the next president.
That's his job...
That's politics folks. Get over it.
If you think Dems wouldn’t do the exact same thing you are living in Banana Land
Hey DT realDonaldTrump Mitch started that media bs already.. We want dates and times. If it aint about work. Take no calls from Congress.
Excellent
Hypocrisy
それ約分できるんじゃね
Vote him out.
DoItForRuth Twitterverse: Call them & request Senate NOT confirm another SCOTUS nominee until 2021: Lisa Murkowski (202)224-6665; Mitt Romney (202)224-5251; Susan Collins (202)224-2523; Martha McSally (202)224-2235; Cory Gardner 202)224-5941
anglicanrichard gdeguzman99 FreeTheWH LaineyRubin TheNakedParty Charles Manson and Ted Bundy are unavailable. So the Nuge gets the SCOTUS nod?
I know its America and racism is one of our biggest thing but a few years ago when President Obama was in this position, he was blocked, I think we owe it to JoeBiden to choose when he's officially our president. Biden2020
It's not HER seat anymore. It's a vacancy on the highest court in American and Trump is going to fill it.
AGuyNamedDarren Good to hear.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is such good news at a time when we will celebrate the life of RBG. Thank You for the good news
komonewsradio Consider this when you vote
Good! Esp since the dems won't concede the election under any circumstances. Thus, we need 9 to decide election!
He gave words of true compassion despite her hatred toward him. He is the POTUS and is doing his job. Y’all have blood on your hands, fallacies in your petty little minds, hatred in your hearts and stains all over your soul from the culmination thereof - kindly STFU for once.
Hell yeah!! 👏👏👏
Hehehe meanwhile Democrats are angry cuz he keeps gaining .....on like everything
Having a woman conservative would be great. Hopefully Mitch hurries up and can push one more in before election just in case. We gotta stack the court before the liberals start destroying the country. MAGA TRUMP2020
Absolutely. Fill the seat now
Tom. Cotton in 2024 President!
Love this president
He can't even take a couple of days to mourn her loss before he wants to get another trumpet in her place. He is a sad sad man.
Trump needs to nominate ASAP! Let the Dems riot, loot, assault, etc, & put them on full display going into an election. It will be the largest party switch in our lifetimes! Ppl will vote against violent thugs always, look at BLM's approval, was 52%, currently at 9%post riots
Jali_Cat Brilliant deduction. 😂
As he should. Dems have been very open with the fact that they will dispute the election results when they lose.
Isn't there a law in the US that you have to wait till the body gets cold.
Jali_Cat
Jali_Cat
Jali_Cat As he should. It's his job.
Trump SUCKS!
MAGGETT
With this election we ALL know will be contested from either/both sides, it is a must to have a full court when they undoubtedly have to step in for the lawsuits. One being nether side will accept the mail in ballots.
Good, as he should
What a pathetic excuse for a human... to make this announcement before RBG is even laid to rest. Trump is shameless! This is why she fought so hard to live through the election. May she and JohnLewis spend their days in heaven getting into GoodTrouble.
Megresistor Senators, don’t follow Senator Mitch McConnell. He is a disgrace to his office and State.
With mass layoffs, unemployment checks long expired, evictions, families living on yhe streets, small businesses closing all with no aid? Man this is top priority for fucking repugnicans.
Well shit
RIP RBG Now, let's get nominee confirmed ASAP. FillTheSeat
👏👏👏👏👏👏
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” — Mitch McConnell, 2016.
Liberals be all:
Let’s Go!!!🔥🔥🔥
Someone is doing his job he is elected for.
They are seeking a faux pro life judge when the GOP is actually pro choice. They appear to be pro life when it comes to babies, but pro choice when it comes to killing adults because they are too immature to wear mask during a pandemic.
Absolutely terrible woman hasn't been dead for 24hrs and he is already doing this. I do not see the rush should just follow McConnell's rule and just wait till after the President is sworn in.
warpspeed
The reality is aging justices, if they are concerned about who replaces them, should consider retiring when their party is in control & not waiting. She could have retired under Obama but didn’t.
It's his duty as POTUS.
We're screwed
Well that’s the way the GOP is doing things now no respect for anybody. VoteBlue✌🏼💙2020 No more clowns🤡🤡
she literally told her granddaughter her dying wish was that the next justice be chosen when a new president is elected
He's rumored to be leaning towards Judge Judy.
Just pointing out that trump can't be trusted. He purposely helped spread the virus that he knew was deadly. That's unforgivable in my opinion. America has the worst virus response in the world !!
Oh, is it Mickey Mouse? Is Mickey Mouse the nominee? With the fall back nominee being Ivanka?
He shows no respect for the life and career of this brilliant woman. The first thing he and Moscow Mitch think of is how to further their assault on American citizens! This cannot be allowed to proceed.
FillTheVacancy DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
Boo fucking hoo.
senatemajldr is a decrepit hypocrite. He will allow this to pass because nobody is going to check them
YOUR sources?!.....he Tweeted it!
This is what we’re fighting FillTheVacancy
Yesssss MAGA!!! get vote in!!!
YEAH!
Political suicide . This has ignited people to VOTE democrat!!!!
This is absolutely unacceptable. MerrickGarland RIPRGB None of us have forgotten about Merrick Garland and this should not be allowed to happen. Period!
Not happening
Yessss! Has the insane left brutally attacked AMY of gang rape in high school yet?
as he should
She’s been dead for months as far as I’m concerned, fill that seat!
As he should.
Yes, as he should.
This is great, to us evangelicals this is so important? And those Senator's running in their cities need to be mindful if they want our vote. We make up a huge percentage and we will not be silence by the Dems or the protesters!!
Amy Amy Amy Amy🎉 potus realDonaldTrump
Needs to
Lol.
You still have the old wire taps?
Expect the dems to cry and throw temper tantrums like little babies.
Awesome!!!
do it Trump
Well, that is his job so...
As he should.
As he should.
Well yeah.
RBG should've retired during the Obama years! Now here we are!!
Fantastic news! The Constitution is safe in Republican hands.
Damn. He is appointing someone...well, I guess Jerry Farwell jr will have a job now....
And? Isn’t that what he’s supposed to do to fill the seat? FillTheSeat FillTheVacancy
As he should
As he should. Elections have consequences 🤣🤣
Appoint NOW DemocratsHateAmerica They smeared Kavanaugh as a gang rapist w/o evidence. SCOTUSnominee TODAY!
I do not blame the GOP for their political grab all you can behaviours. I blame our modern day Pharisees, the Evilangelicals for their double standards. Why support a liar who lies in the name of God?
Good We need a full court
Because of Justice Ginsburg death, another Republican player will now be put on the board in the Republicans bid to checkmate the freedoms of a Democratic Republic.
As he well should. You dirty Dems wouldn’t wait a day.
Never forget how the vile pig democrats treated kavanaugh....... TRUMP WILL REPLACE RBG..... SCOTUS will be great for decades to come
Screw the hypocrisy. Idc. There’s a chance to fundamentally change the SCOTUS and Republicans would be foolish to not take the opportunity. A 6-3 conservative bench would be a death blow to democrats. A welcome one at that.
He is so concern of filling that sit right away the lady just passed away let it rest after the election Trump show some respect.
Elections have consequences.
Thank you Harry Reid!
Good! This is why he won in 2016. The courts.
Batter UP!
Nope
🇺🇸🙌
This is why I do not trust republicans at all. Willing to add a justice before this election but unwilling to grant Obamas nominee a hearing. Hypocritwe and liars.
The voters should pick a President, and that President should select a successor to Justice Ginsburg. It is too close to the election for a decision to be made. The incoming President regardless of who it is should make that decision!
Why shouldn’t he? It’s his job. Why he was elected to do his job.
Anonymous sources again ?
markbjardine Democrats push Russian collusion, Ukraine hoax, partison impeachment, appalling treatment of Kavangh and never ending anti Trumpism, and then ask Trump to do them a favour......
Don Jr
Good!
Awesome
Why hasn't karma caught up to Trump yet? ... or is it going to be a huge surprise and be like when the wicked witch melts in the Wizard of Oz ...
Liberals have threatened to burn it all down if they go through with this but they had already threatened to burn it all down when Joe Biden isn't elected so...
Good
My money is on Candace Owens
How low can he go?

Who forced her to stay on the Bench being so damn Sick? I guess she didn't see Heaven as her next location.
Congress needs to ficus on passing a stimulus bill first. The American people should be the priority NOT playing a game of partisan chess
Barrett will make an outstanding justice. And harris will be off the campaign trail.
Outstanding.
Is it right that Trump does this? SCOTUS SupremeCourt MerrickGarland MitchMcConnell Trump Election2020
Weird how quickly they‘re organized with this. They said sad to hear of her death now this is how we’re going to replace her in the same breath. One wonders if they knew it was going to happen. If it was planned like with Epstein’s murder? Here’s a bizarre example. Did the...
Donald is a pig‼️🦠🦠🦠
carolmswain A week ago, the President put out a list of possible Supreme Court nomination list. The dishonest media ignored the story.
You have zero shame this one will due u in from Ruth’s grave march on
So much for being tactfully respectful lol
These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren
We remember what they did to Kavanaugh, what they do to Trump and family. Now they want a favor? Holding a serious grudge.
He has to. This election will have so much fraud from democrats that we need the Court.
Pretty sure he pissed himself, you could clearly see him salivating about picking another unqualified friend to take her seat. Trump, BillBarr , MoscowMitchMcTreason & LindseyGrahamSC are akin cancers that need to be eradicated immediately. They’re killing democracy.
toosoon RIPRGB
No sweat...Democrats will just add 6 more justices after taking house/senate/White House DitchMitch MitchMustGo MoscowMitch ginsburg Garland RuthBaderGinsberg
I'm old enough to remember when 3 Supreme Court Justices were confirmed in less than 45 Days, INCLUDING GINSBURG! Dems & their hypocritical 'selective memory.' SupremeCourtJustice
Americans to Republicans: fillTheSeat immediately or step down!
It's like Christmas has come early for BoneSpurs
MAGA2020 MAGA2020LandslideVictory
Trump is a traitor. Acting on Putin's orders, he will try to cause havoc but will fail. Americans are united, save handful. To avoid prison, Ivanka and Eric will flip on their father. Trump mad and upset, decamps for Russia. Jared Kushner in prison. Don Jr. will die in prison.
good, ABC news sucks by the way
This is absolutely shitty! I'm sick of the president and sick of McConnell. 2020 is a shitty year and I refuse to watch it get even worse!
About time her borrowed time ran out. Bye Ruthie!
Hypocrite
They denied this to Obama. Should happen again.. For trump now this is the 'free card from prison 'and dictatorship for the country 🙄
Excuse me? They didn’t let Obama put his in because we’re supposed to election is too close to an election this year
What a hypocrite. As if people don't remember exactly what he said over Merrick Garland.
More fake news. Who is your source? JoeBiden or SpeakerPelosi
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is a sad day for justice
Jennife15496769 He loves America & is doing a great job trying to protect it from this evil we sadly witness! RIB Ruth🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
VFrankenstein76 Ted Cruz for sure. He won’t take shit or be intimidated
carolmswain By sources, ABC means a lie. Can't trust ABC to tell the truth.
If realDonaldTrump nominates Senator Ted Cruz for SCOTUS, will he get to vote to confirm himself? Seems fair since Warren, Harris, Booker, Sanders, Klobuchar got to vote on impeachment while running for president. 🤔tedcruz MZHemingway catturd2 DonaldJTrumpJr TheLeoTerrell
I have a video recording on my record player that he's nominating Ted Cruz.
I could've guessed that and been right.
thank god
Harry Reid really fucked you didn’t he? And you thought he was so smart and sly. Well guess what it’s 6-3 bitches!! Say Hi to Amy you’re gonna love her. Not

I was told that there would be crying here.
Well yes of course
Another right wing Trump sycophant ,no doubt !
How can this be acceptable. They should have to stand by their own words from 2016
He's probably leafing through Jeffrey Epstein's Creepy Black Book of Rapey Clients looking for a candidate as we speak.
Despicable.
And Now the 🇺🇸 under trump is becoming a communist country. trumpacommunist
The end of the USA is coming, corruption & perversion reigns supreme.....better buckle up kids, gonna be a rough nasty next 20 years, lol
