After the demise of RBG, the process of replacing her face has fastened. US Senate Republicans plan to fast-track the process to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court vacancy left with the demise of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and have her on the bench in the final days of voting that ends on November 3. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the senate judiciary committee that will lead the confirmation process, said he plans to start the process on October 12 and be ready for a floor vote after October 26.

Barrett is broadly presumed to be confirmed because Democrats, who are opposing her nomination, are a 47-53 minority in the Senate and do not have the numbers to stop her. Trump announced his pick at a White House event on Saturday, calling Barrett “one of our nation’s most brilliant and gifted legal minds”. On Sunday, he said the Senate will “easily” confirm Barrett before the election. Barrett’s confirmation will give conservatives a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court, tilting its ideological balance for generations. Democrats are concerned and are opposing it.

Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, called for the Senate to not act on the nomination until “after the American people select their next president and the next Congress”. He pointed out Barrett’s opposition to the Affordable Care Act, the Obama-era health insurance plan that Trump and Republicans have been trying to overturn. Democrats are using it as a rallying cry to drum up opposition to the nomination. It’s about “healthcare, healthcare and healthcare”, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a leading American daily.
