History of the Supreme Court and how it impacts America today
President Donald Trump’s recent nomination to the Supreme Court is 48-year-old Amy Coney Barret, Notre Dame Law School graduate, mother of seven, and judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. If affirmed, she is poised to fill the gap left by the recent death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The timing of the nomination is controversial at best, with many pointing to the double standard held by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who blocked President Barack Obama’s nominee under similar circumstances.
