The president and first lady Melania Trump stood near Ginsburg's casket while a crowd could be heard chanting loudly 'vote him out.'
U.S. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump pay their respects to Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's flag-draped casket on the Lincoln catafalque on the west front of the U.S. Supreme Court September 24, 2020 in Washington, DC. A pioneering lawyer and according the Chief Justice John Roberts 'a jurist of historic stature,' Ginsburg died September 18 at the age of 87 after a long battle against cancer.
The poll was conducted earlier this week amid mounting tension as the election date looms nearer. Lawmakers across both sides of the aisle have reacted strongly to Ginsburg's death and the question of whether the Senate should confirm whomever Trump nominates to fill her vacant seat. "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice," McConnell said four years ago when rejecting Obama's nominee Judge Merrick Garland."Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."Saturday morning:"We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions...the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices.
