Republicans Nominate Amy Coney Barret for Vacant Supreme Court Seat

Glody Mutebwa Guest Writer On the night of September 18, 2020, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of the most influential and longest- serving female Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, died. Her death left a seat on the highest court in the land vacant. Eight days after her death, President Donald J. Trump nominated New Orleans native Amy Coney Barrett to succeed RBG and fill her seat. If confirmed by the Sen- ate, Amy Coney Barrett will become the fifth woman Supreme Court Jus- tice of the United States and the only Justice who did not attend either Harvard Law School or Yale Law School to currently sit on the court. Amy Coney Barrett has been serving as a judge on the U.S. Court of Ap- peals for the Seventh Circuit for almost three years now.
