Trump Nominates Amy Barrett To The Supreme Court The president at the White House Saturday, announced his pick to be the new Supreme Court Associate Justice. Amy Coney Barrett, a judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, is a devout Catholic, former Notre Dame professor and a mother of seven. She is among the five candidate -- including 11th Circuit Judge Barbara Lagoa -- that Trump said publicly that he was considering for the post. Barrett who will fill the seat vacated by late Justice Bader Ginsburg, is beloved by many and especially conservatives around the country. “She is a woman of unparalleled achievement, towering intellect, sterling credentials and unyielding loyalty to the Constitution,” Trump said in a short introductory remark. Barrett thanked the president for the honor of serving on the court, and promised to be an impartial jurist. "A judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policy makers. They must be resolute in setting aside any personal policy news they might hold.” she said. Republican lawmakers welcomed the the nomination. Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham hailed Barrett as "highly qualified in all the areas that matter – character, integrity, intellect, and judicial disposition." “As the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I’m very committed to ensuring that the nominee gets a challenging, fair, and respectful hearing," he said. "We move forward on this nomination knowing that the President has picked a highly qualified individual who will serve our nation well on the highest court in the land.” Democrat leaders slammed the nomination. “Justice Ginsburg’s dying wish was that she not be replaced until a new president is installed," Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement. "Republicans are poised to not only ignore her wishes, but to replace her with someone who could tear down everything that she built.” Barrett’s confirmation hearing is reportedly scheduled for October 12.
