Protests against the president in peru but opposition lawmakers failed to win enough votes to impeach him for moral incapacity. Hello everyone u. S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at the age of 87 she had been battling pancreatic cancer ginsburg a pioneer and champion of womens rights she was the leader of the courts liberal wing she served there for 27 years and was actually only the 2nd woman appointed to americas high as they go body and so people have gathered outside the Supreme Court in washington to mark the passing while both President Trump and democratic nominee joe biden have made statements expressing this sadness however her death does give President Trump a chance to expand the Supreme Courts conservative majority remember the president ial vote just over 6 weeks away. But its also been revealed ginsburg dictated i should say a statement to her granddaughter before her death and she said my most fervent wish is that i will not be replaced until a new president is installed more on all of that shortly but 1st alan fischer looks back at the life and legacy of Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. They started to gather on the steps of the Supreme Court in washington as news of Ruth Bader Ginsburgs death broke they brought flowers and candles the number swelled people marking a loss they felt personally. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was physically small but her presence loomed large on the court she was a blunt talking liberal who often challenge her conservative colleagues on the bench born to jewish immigrants in Brooklyn New York in 1033 ginsburg was a brilliant student she was one of only one woman to enroll in Harvard University law school in 1956 later transferring to Columbia University where she graduated at the top of her class the skins broke told one Television Interviewer no law firms wanted to hire a married mother i had 3 strikes against me when i was jewish. I was the mother of a 4 year old. But as the sixtys and seventys launched the Womens Movement ginsburg found a place in academia then as cofounder of a womens rights project for the American Civil Liberties union she wrote the 1st Supreme Court brief on gender discrimination after 12 years as an Appeals Court judge in washington d. C. President bill clinton appointed gives birth to the u. S. Supreme court in 1993 ginsburg proved to be a consistent liberal voice on the increasingly conservative high court she supported abortion rights and gender equality she also advocated using International Laws to shape u. S. Laws there spoke in gettysburg for several battles with cancer her dying wish was the vacancy her passing creates will not be filled until after the election. Id say the court one trump supporter with a megaphone the president to move quickly he was joined by the chants of others the president has already unveiled a list of people he wants to put on the court if he wins a 2nd term but leaving a rally he only praised justice ginsburg. Facing life. What else can you say she was an amazing woman. She was an amazing woman. And 2016 Justice Antonin Scalia a republican choice passed before the president ial election the senate refused to confirm a democrat successor named by president obama democratic candidate this time around joe biden says there must be no decision until the election has passed voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider this was the position of the Republican Senate took in 2016 when there were almost 10 months to go before the election. Thats the position the state senate must take today the republican leader in the Senate Mitch Mcconnell says he will press ahead with nomination hearings if given a name by donald trump that is almost certainly going to happen now he might not be able to get confirmation hearings done by the election in november but could possibly push them through by the inauguration in january and if joe biden wins the election that could create a constitutional crisis here in the United States ginsburg strive to maintain strong liberal voices on the Supreme Court to balance the conservative ones now her own voice has been silenced that balance under threat alan fischer aljazeera outside the u. S. Supreme court some thoughts now from. A democratic congressman who explains the potential consequences of fast tracking a replacement for ginsburg before the election tragic death.

Weve seen the ports play a pivotal role in the last 3 and a half years in our democracy the courts have pointed out they have to step in to decide issues of our own right importance to the American People of great importance to the American People and very often they have held the president i checked we have even seen some of his appointees take positions that are not that were not very nice of his liking but an attempt to fast track this nomination 47. 00 days before the election and to stack the deck that ideologically even want to wait. Will really up put some damage toward democratic process and in a democratic system so the composition of the Supreme Court now becomes a much bigger election issue with the vote just 6 weeks away voting actually began in 4 states on friday Virginia South dakota wyoming and minnesota where both President Trump and his democratic rival job identifying the votes john hendren has more from minneapolis.

Myths to struction and despair a group of friends resist. Rescuing books from the rubble they build a refuge for freedom and democracy. A secret library of hope from which they endeavor to rewrite their story and that of their country. To witness. And my brand of bombs on aljazeera. Oh. Top stories on aljazeera this hour u. S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died of complications from pancreatic cancer yet the 7 year old had been a champion of womens rights in the leader of the courts liberal wing tributes are being paid from across the political divide people gathered outside the Supreme Court in washington to mark her death and both President Trump and democratic nominee joe biden have made statements to present their case. But the republican excuse me Republican Senate majority leader Mitch Mcconnell has already said whoever president nominates as Bader Ginsburgs replacement will receive a vote in the u. S. Senate even with the election just 6 weeks away that was in the case 4 years ago though when the president was a democrat in february 26th in Justice Anthony scalia died he was 79 years old and had served on the court for 3 decades it took just one hour for Mitch Mcconnell to say quote this fake ensues shouldnt be failed until we have a new president at that. Stage the election to replace president obama was still 9 months away even so obama nominated Merrick Garland a moderate to fill scalias position but the republican led senate refused to hold any hearings or votes and left his nomination to expire then after donald trump won the election he nominated neil goal such a conservative for that still vacant posts he was easily confirmed by the senate in april troubles a window into nominating confirm another conservative Supreme Court judge in july 20th and that was Brett Kavanaugh if i celebrations of Sexual Assault prior to his confirmation well john malcolm senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation explains to us now how controversial the process of replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg is likely to be we have a republican majority in the senate and a republican president that was not the case in 2016 this is of course the end of dollar terms 1st term president obama was finishing up his 2nd term so we knew for a fact that president obama was not going to be returning to the oval office but look at democrats are going to say that the republicans are being hypocrites and mcconnell will have to work very very hard if he is going to keep all of his republican colleagues or enough of his republican colleagues in line in order to actually go through with the confirmation process in the you know the wake of the fact that we have an election thats imminent so when you know gorsuch replaced Antonin Scalia you could more or less speak in broad terms say this was a conservative replacing a conservative when Anthony Kennedy was replaced by Brett Kavanaugh you could say we had a conservative leaning justice with a lot of libertarian instincts being replaced by conservatives here we are talking about a liberal icon who did lead a remarkable life and an incredible legacy being replaced by a conservative and we havent seen that i dont think since Thurgood Marshall was replaced by Clarence Thomas and it will certainly be a very contentious confirmation process.
