We begin on Saturday, September 26th, at the White House Rose Garden, President Trump finally announces his long-awaited and highly anticipated pick to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the 7th Circuit. The Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled their first hearing for Judge Barrett on October 12th.

Many Trump critics were launching their attacks on Barrett over her Catholic faith and that she and her husband adopted two children from Haiti, attacks that didn’t really hold weight. In lieu of that, Trump critics highlighted how disrespectful it is to Justice Ginsburg’s dying wish to not fill her seat until the next president is selected. Seeing as how Republicans remember the Brett Kavanaugh saga well, the likelihood of the GOP caving to this is around 0 percent.
