Her cast ket was walked docaske as her hearse pulled away, it started to rain. A military honor guard carried justice ginsburg. Many lawmakers paid their own respects. With the motorcade departing the capital, it marks the end of a week of public memorials. She will be laid to rest in a private ceremony next week next to her husband at Arlington National cemetery.

A majority of americans apparently agree with biden, according to this new poll, 56 of likely voters think the next Supreme Court justice should be appointed or nominated by the winner of the november election. But Senate Judiciary chairman Lindsey Graham is saying the timetable saying his committee will approve judge Amy Coney Barretts nomination october 22nd, setting up a full senate vote by the end of the month. Right to john harwood, now. As we await the press conference from the president were hearing strong words from the democratic nominee about what is at stake if trumps Supreme Court nominee is confirmed. It was a fascinating turn this morning. President trump has been hoping that the opportunity to nominate another conservative justice to the Supreme Court would energize his base, in a race that had not been going wellor him especially the social conservatives who care about issues li
Meeting with judge barrett because i simply refuse to treat this process, a sham, illegitimate process as fair. One of the things i want to ask her is will she recuse herself. Because of any election issues that come before us. If she does not recuse herself, i fear the cuourt will be delegitimized.

How cool is it to get a working mom on the Supreme Court. And by the way, a working mom of seven kids. You know, i mean, this woman is going to be something to reckon with. Democrats, the media, the mob, theyre beginning to try and paint this woman as a monster. Buckle up. Theyre attacking her faith and god, her catholic faith,ville, y aspect about her life. Howie this followed days of media attacks against the president and Mitch Mcconnell once news broke they had enough republican votes to confirm a replacement of for Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A number say their party should get even if joe biden wins by packing the court with extra seats. Why wouldnt they . If theyre in control, why wouldnt they . Because theyre weak. And theyre wimps. And theyre afraid. Theyre so obsessed with beating trump and his voters that theyre will
The president is hard at work to make sure some votes may not count. Well talk about the plans to derail the election and what can be done to make sure it just doesnt happen. I want to start at white house which has announced that the president is going to hold a News Conference in just about two hours at the top of the 5 00 p. M. Hour. Thats where we find monica alba who is joining us. Good afternoon. Great to see you on this sunday. Talk us through this conference that was Just Announced an hour or so ago. What are we expecting to hear . Reporter a late addition to the schedule. They made this announcement, surprising some. He has a closed press event with gold star families that would not be open to coverage. It seems the president is eager to come out and speak with reporters ahead of that. We hope to take questions. These News Conferences are billed as such and the president makes a statement without engaging with reporters. We hope well have an opportunity to ask him about any ra
