Asked by journalists if Barrett will indeed be nominated, Trump responded, "I haven't said that."The media reports noted the mercurial Trump could still change his mind before the official announcement, expected at 5pm on Saturday.
Leaders of the Republican majority in the Senate, which is tasked with confirming Supreme Court nominees, said they have enough support to hold a vote on the nomination either before the election or at worst during the "lame duck" session between the election and the inauguration of the next president in January.Barrett, a practising Catholic and law professor, was only appointed to the bench in 2017.
In 2018, she was on the shortlist presented by Trump for a seat vacated by the retirement of justice Anthony Kennedy, a position ultimately filled by Brett Kavanaugh after a ferocious confirmation battle.

No mourning. RIP RBG. America- VoteBlueToSaveAmerica That's one hell of a slap in the face with a smudge of evil. Let's be real, realDonaldTrump respects no one but authoritarians.
