To our big story this morning Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg will be the first woman to lie in state in the Nations Capital with services for the late justice beginning tomorrow morning. This as the battle is going on between democrats and republicans to fill the Supreme Court seat she leaves behind. Alexandra le mon has the latest from washington d c. Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell is promising the senate will vote on President Trumps choice to replace Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg possibly before election day the senate has more than california congresswoman judy chu says that would put a new conservative justice on the bench in time to consider whether to strike down the Affordable Care act. And its all that will mean millions of americans will be left out healthcare arkansas republican senator tom cotton says its too early to know not clear to me yet whether we will have a new justice confirmed so i cant speculate on how the courts going to rule but nevada congresswoman dina titus says republicans have shown theyll do whatever they can to eliminate the a they know that calendar and im sure they will rush to have a justice to make a ruling on that case, its also possible a more conservative Supreme Court could hear a new challenge to abortion laws and congresswoman chu says its not just rules about when and how they are also other cases that out right. That and abortion, totally that are also actually in the eye and democrats say the Supreme Court could also play a role in the upcoming president ial election was so many justices they were conservative and a poignant by Donald Trumps very likely hes going to be the one contesting the results in the election so who knows what they might do both campaigns are hiring lawyers to prepare for challenges of the Election Results in washington, alexandra le mon. Well theres speculation this morning that judge amy cohn Coney Barrett is the frontrunner to be the president s nominee for the Supreme Court barrett is a former clerk to the late Justice Antonin Scalia and she was also President Trumps pick for a seat on the 7th. Us Circuit Court of appeals. She has worked as a professor of law at her alma mater notre dame. Sources say that senator Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell has spoken to President Trump and has suggested that bears nomination might move quicker because they know her record already President Trump is expected to make his announcement perhaps on saturday. Senator Kamala Harris is poised to be a key figure in the democrats fight against the president s Supreme Court pick the california democrat is both joe bidens running mate as you know, and a member of the Senate Judiciary committee thats the committee that would hear trumps nominee harris pledged to honor bader ginsburg, the dying justice to her wish as she said on her death bed that she told her granddaughter. She did not want. Her replacement appointed until a new president was elected. As chair of the Senate JudiciaryCommittee Republican senator Lindsey Graham oversees the confirmation process. He says he believes his role in the confirmation for new Supreme Court justice will likely bolster his reelection bid in south carolina. I dont know what about what it is about a million moments and lightning the lightning has struck again justice is one of the most accomplished woman to ever serve on the court. It was a trailblazer in her passing should be mourned and our allies should be celebrated but under the constitution we have a job, yes, which is completely different than what what he said in 2016 when Justice Antonin Scalia died. Lindsey graham supported a move by the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to refuse a confirmation hearing for president obamas nominee, saying it would not be right to confirm a justice during an election year. Because scalia died 11 months 237 days before the 2016 election. This time were looking at 46 states 6 weeks to the election. Well stay with kron 4 news for the very latest on the Memorial Services for Justice Ginsburg tomorrow morning her casket will arrive at the Supreme Court building at 6. 30 the public viewing will begin at 08 00am and we will cover it all morning long right here on the kron 00 04am morning news. Also making headlines this morning, the oakland as are champions of the American League west for the First Time Since 2013, thanks the Houston Astros the astros lost to the Seattle Mariners last night giving the as the Division Title, the team posted. This video on twitter to celebrate this is the 3rd Straight Year that oakland has made the playoffs. Each of the last 2 seasons theyve been eliminated in the wild card game. The yeas are the first team to clinch the Division Title this year and oakland begins a series against the dodgers tonight in los angeles and the fans are the raiders are ecstatic. They won in their brandnew stadium in vegas in front of 65,000 empty seats. Lets take a look of the 2 billion dollars allegiance stadium coming up this week you carol davis, the widow of the late owner al davis helped highlight the eternal flame. In honor of her late husband and now lets go to highlights. The 2nd quarter raiders quarterback derek carr hits the stage on for a 15 yard touchdown. And then in the 2nd half. Car connects with Darren Wallace and thats a touchdown to take the lead in the 3rd quarter derek carr ended up throwing for 282 yards and 3 touchdown the raiders beat the saints 34 to 24. So they are to win rangers go on the road to take on the new england patriots, sounds tommy. On sunday. If catch. All right well the fortyniners are decimated by injuries on both sides of the ball, this is a tough pill to take 2020 just cant get worse and players offense. Went down during that win over the jets but as kron fours will tran so aptly put it and when is a win a loss when you lose all these players will. Not just players. Its horrible when you lose a player james darya but when youre losing superstars yikes the road to the super bowl just got harder and they are blaming the field at jets stadium when they played on sunday. So when they go back to the same field which they complain about they said the turf is horrible and they say that caused all the injuries, lets get right so highlights theyre not back in the bay area so theyre staying on the east coast and they will play the giants but they took on the jets on sunday, jimmy g is the star right hes the engine of the niners he goes down very early. He left knee buckles he stays in the game got sit out. Most are right he most hurt he also gets it out as well. Both of those superstars on the offensive end they never returned. For the 2nd quarter now the 2nd half i should say most are it is out next game with a sprained mcl jimmy g is questionable and then on the defensive end rookie of the year nick bosa. He is one of the fiercest pass rushers in the nfl just 22 years old reigning rookie of the year. He goes down after he basically gets pancake by an offensive lineman he knew right away i knew it watching at home because he was just grimacing he grabbed his knee which is a telltale sign. It doesnt look good, you got carted off the field and then 2 plays later solomon thomas, he also goes out at first they thought it was sunday really bad with his knee but maybe not a torn acl sure enough just like bolsa he also has a torn acl heres coach shanahan saying next man up. We do have a lot of good players t players of people know about who i think can still get better and how something theres a lot of people that people dont know about on this opens up opportunities for get better so yeah, you lose a great guy like that. Its tough. But look at our rooms and stuff and know that so that a lot of guys out there play good football and give us a chance to win every game that we show up for. Fortunately jeans and area they play the new york giants and theyre not the greatest team so that should bode well for the San Francisco fortyniners but theres talk about they might have to do a couple of trades to replace and solomon thomas as far as jimmy g more than likely even though hes listed as questionable more than likely james darya probably will be kept out of this sundays game because if he goes down there goes the entire season. Nick mullens probably will start on sunday. But like i said james darya thats thats a win. But i bet you that they had to do it all over again they would rather lose and keep all of their plan what i was going to ask you as a fan as what would you know because im sure you are so thrilled that they won, but what would you rather. I would rather lose a lot all my players because you cant replace all of that you know and speaking of losing darya james. You can talk about Kyle Shanahan losing a lot more than just no doubt and we told him well we told them that the nfl warned them last week they said coaches. Keeping up the face mask to have to cover the nose or the mouth at all times and now head coach Kyle Shanahan and 2 other coaches, each fined a 100,000 for not wearing a mask properly during sundays game in addition to buy the wage team is find another 250,000. 7 Million Dollars in fines. So far and like i said they got the warning the nfl said theyre going to be strictly enforcing the mask rule and then you can see gruden yeah he did just yesterday was in find yet, but you know what that could come theyre going to keep their eye out for of coaches and also i saw a lot of reps that are keeping those mass down around their chin. Its not a neck gaiter you know just wrapping up yeah, they got a rare right well see what happens next weekend 5. 12 is the time well take a quick break but still ahead here on the kron 4 morning news governor newsome vowing to fix the backlog of unemployment claims that are still waiting to be processed, well tell you how soon he says that could happen.
