WASHINGTON - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death sets up what promises to be a fierce fight in the U.S. Senate over President Donald Trump’s eventual nominee to replace her, with Democrats still livid over what they consider a Supreme Court seat “stolen” by Republicans during the last presidential election year.
But McConnell has made it clear the Senate would act on any nomination made by Trump during this election year, with the Republican Trump asking voters on Nov. 3 for a second term in office.Ginsburg died on Friday at age 87 of complications from pancreatic cancer. Such an ideological shift could be felt in American life for decades, with the court playing a pivotal role in social policy and many other matters. For example, the court in 1973 legalized abortion nationwide and in 2015 legalized gay marriage nationwide.
The Kavanaugh confirmation hearings also were explosive, with a California professor offering emotional testimony accusing him of sexually assaulting her decades ago when both were high school students in the 1980s. An incensed Kavanaugh testified that he was the victim of “a calculated and orchestrated political hit” by vengeful anti-Trump Democrats.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says the Supreme Court vacancy created by Ginsburg's death should not be filled until there is a new president

North Carolina poll shows close races for White House, SenateJoe Biden is ahead by just 3 percentage points among likely voters in North Carolina, according to a new survey of the swing state President Donald Trump captured in 2016 What's next? Biden only ahead by 10 in Arizona?
