President Donald Trump said he will announce his nomination to replace former Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court later this week.
, who once clerked for the late Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago. She received bipartisan support from the Senate during her confirmation hearing in October 2017, with three Democrats joining Republicans to approve her appointment.
Workers prepare for a memorial service for late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the U.S. Supreme Court on September 22, 2020 in Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump is expected to announce his nominee to replace Ginsburg's spot on the court later this week, and Amy Coney Barrett is reportedly one of the potential nominees at the top of his list.
When asked during the 2017 Senate hearing how she would weigh her faith with her responsibilities as a judge, Barrett said,"It's never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge's personal convictions, whether they derive from faith or anywhere else on the law.
Despite Barrett's comments, Senator Dianne Feinstein mentioned during the 2017 hearing that Barrett has delivered speeches in the past that raise questions about her ability to separate her faith from her interpretation of the law.
Feinstein did not mention any specific speeches Barrett has delivered but said that the content within some of them was"of concern." Feinstein said it was important for any judge to distinguish between dogma and law—and with Barrett, Feinstein said,"The dogma lives loudly within you."
