S. President donald trump has officially nominated Amy Connie Barrett to replace a paris appointment would add another conservative voice to the bench further shifting the course balance of power to the right for decades to come a White House Correspondent Kimberly Hockett reports. Is a highly anticipated nomination made official when u. S. President donald trump and now turning a judge amy coney barrett. Judge barrett currently serves as a federal judge in chicago and is President Trumps 3rd pick for the u. S. Supreme court she is a woman of unparalleled achievement towering intellect sterling credentials and on yielding loyalty to the constitution. If confirmed judge barrett would replace Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who died earlier this month and was an iconic champion of womens rights she not only broke glass ceilings she smashed them for that she has won the admiration of women across the country and indeed all over the world like the pioneer before her barrett is also a working mother she has 7 children including one with special needs and 2 adopted children from haiti she is devoutly religious and disagrees with the viewpoint the u. S. Constitution is an evolving living document a judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policymakers and they must be resolute and setting aside any policy views they might hold critics fear that view could shift the high court further right and lead to decisions that could undo abortion rights and the Affordable Care act that provides Health Insurance for tens of millions of americans democratic president ial nominee joe biden urge senators not to confirm barrett arguing the future of health care hangs in the balance the democratic leader in the senate agrees her views are way to the right of the American People and as they learn about it she will become less and less popular. And the 28000. 00 confirmations for Justice Brett kavanaugh was contentious republicans accuse democrats of a Smear Campaign against kavanaugh who fought off accusations of Sexual Assault during the hearings this time truck appealed for fairness and further urge all members of the other side of the aisle to provide judge barrett with a respectful and dignified hearing that she deserves and frankly that our country deserves the high stakes battle to confirm any Connie Barrett now moves to the Republican Controlled Senate the hearings are expected to move at a swift and unprecedented pace with republicans promising to confirm barretts seat on the Supreme Court before the november 3rd president ial election Kimberley Health at aljazeera the White House Well now that President Trump has officially made his Supreme Court nomination lets take a look at what happens next a process has traditionally taken 2 to 3 months he will not to fire the u. S. Senate in writing then the Judiciary Committee will conduct their own investigation and many senators will meets with barrett the committee will hold public hearings before voting on whether to recommend her nomination to the full senate once in front of the entire senate. Theyll be another debate and then it will go to a floor vote where a majority of 51. 00 votes is needed to confirm bads republicans currently hold the balance of power in the opera house with 53 senate is what i speak to katie bar know about this shes media editor for the scotus blog and also cofounded a website called 2nd break which is devoted to news and analysis on the u. S. Court of appeals for the d. C. Circuit shes from new york thank you very much for being with us katie so just how better do you think this battle in the senate to confirm that it will be do you expect democrats to handle this in what way. I think it will most certainly be a bitter battle in fact the original timeline that we are mation what happened albeit still shorter than the cli we see here in that they could get shortened even further we are now expecting confirmation to begin in approximately 2 weeks which usually about 4 weeks short of what we could pick least be but democrats have already started. Their intent to delay there was. A message they sent around all democrats last week noting 19 different delay tactic that they could engage in and of course the one that they wrote down and to the fact that i suspect there will be that theyre keeping pretty safe keeping and well launch later in the process but they have a lot of pool but i think we are in for a bitter battle but a quick one you think will be before the elections she could be confirmed before the election. I do i believe she will be confirmed before the election the republicans said that the 1st day of her confirmation hearing for october 12th as were hearing which means they have plenty of time to wrap up that hearing and a vote the following week well before the election on november 3rd lets talk about her and her ideology i guess to what extent do you think she will alter the courts ideological balance do you think theres likely to be a big shift in issues like abortion rights gun why stray szell justice. Thats a great question shes actually written some opinions and been involved in cases on gun rights on abortion on immigration and she will be taking the seat of the head of the liberal block of the court she certainly will sway the balance of the court to a point where the court will be 63. 00 that will be a solid 6 majority 6 person 6 just a majority conservative block on the court which means that liberals in the case of you know pieces that are important to them on issues they care about like abortion like you said they not only need one justice they need to get them to their side so it will most certainly change the balance of the court not interesting me if she is appointed she would be the 3rd justice on the court for republicans directly on the bush versus gore case in the 2000 election dispute how do you think she would handle a potential election dispute after november 3rd will she recuse herself this is an election question. So the Supreme Court actually addressed the issue of a camel in seventys thing that the standard for his village basically if the probability of actual bias became constitutionally too high for handle unfortunately that is as big as they can get they cant get any more with the victim that it will be her personal choice whether or not she chooses to recuse in an election related case and in fact the court has already been dealing with election related battle throughout the summer and will most certainly continue to do so into november 3rd and well after november 3rd can she bought a very good to get your thoughts on this thank you so much for joining us today from new york thank you ok now the world news demand pick to be lebanons next Prime Minister has resigned less than a month into the job. Says he hasnt been able to form a government of specialists in a country where power is shed along sectarian lines this sends lebanon back to square one and its search for a new stable government is in a hard every for some be able. Its been almost a month since most of our a deal was designated Prime Minister his job was to form a government independent of Party Loyalists after the previous cabinet resigned following the devastating explosion at the port of beirut last month its not easy in lebanon where the same political elite accused of pushing the country to near bankruptcy have been in power for decades i realize that the agreement on the basis i accepted this National Mission during this difficult time of lebanons history no longer exists as well as that the government line up with this specific ations that i put failed. Mission was supported by france which has been leading International Efforts to resolve lebanons multiple crises by bringing change to the leadership president in mind where mccall said during his 2nd visit after the port blast that lebanese politicians agreed to form a cabinet by mid september see an already. Fragile skepticism with this class and was very much a final so i would be surprised if the french. Strategy or another shot the Armor Movement and hezbollah backed by iran have been blamed for standing in the way of a deal by insisting on naming shia muslim representation in government a 1000000 hezbollah are part of the socalled march 8th alliance that currently control political power in the sectarian based system of government here the shia parties feel the other camp the march 14th alliance is carrying else a political coup against the results of the last election. But others say their loyalty to iran brings lebanon into the heart of the us iranian rivalry there are new they are squeezed cornered instead of being them through his will on the border. Moved towards the borders of iran so basically yes it is in the core of the. Iranian conflict much is in. Doubt for a country where more than 50 percent of its 5000000 people are officially poor the reforms the mandate by the International Community to unlock Financial Assistance among them fighting corruption and its likely to hurt and implicate the Political Class that is why leaders resisted for years mccrone roadmap however doesnt just set deadlines it warns of possible consequences this is a broken and broken nation not even the threat of western sanctions pushed politicians who are stronger than the state to give up power and agree to change some say the French Initiative to save lebanon has died others say it can still be revived but the lebanese president did warn the country was going to hell if a government is not formed senecas a big root to mexico now where investigators have issued arrest warrants for military members who could be linked to the disappearance of dozens of students in 2014.
