WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court begins its new nine-month term on Monday buffeted by the death of liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Senate confirmation battle over her successor, the coronavirus pandemic and the approaching presidential election whose outcome the justices may be called upon to help decide.
If President Donald Trump’s nominee to replace Ginsburg, federal appeals court judge Amy Coney Barrett, is confirmed as expected by a Senate controlled by his fellow Republicans, the court’s ideological balance would tilt further rightward with a potent 6-3 conservative majority. The confluence of events is a test of leadership for conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, who in February also presided over a Senate impeachment trial that ended in Trump’s acquittal on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for pressing Ukraine to investigate his Democratic election rival Joe Biden.“He would like to be a steady hand and wants the court to be on a steady path,” said Nicole Saharsky, a lawyer who argues cases before the justices.
The Supreme Court previously upheld it 5-4 in a 2012 ruling in which Roberts cast the crucial vote. It rejected another challenge 6-3 in 2015. Ginsburg was in the majority both times. The conservative majority has sided with state officials opposed to courts imposing changes to election procedures to make it easier to vote during the pandemic.
Amy 'Bum's Rush' Barrett didn't even have the presence of mind to have her children wear masks at the Rose Garden event, exposing them to COVID from all who attended. It seems she tells herself what she wants to believe--not what actually is.

Virus spreads on panel handling Supreme Court nominationTwo GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have tested positive for the coronavirus. Both say they will quarantine for 10 days, ending just before Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett are to begin Oct. 12. 14 days quarantine period is to make sure you're not positive (ie not having the virus). Now if they already have the virus, they must be out indefinitely until tested negative 3 times again. GOPs again do whatever they want to do here. Aww perfect timing for these drunk drivers to get back in their cars and drive drunk again. Glad they are in charge of our future livelihoods. They make the best logical decisions based on truth, science and reality. Let’s keep term limits for life. I just love these monsters.
