Sept. 25, 2020, 10:24 PM UTCPresident Donald Trump has decided to select Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, NBC News has learned.
If confirmed, Barrett, 48, a federal appeals court judge who has been reliably conservative on issues like abortion, would be the youngest justice on the high court. Her presence would also cement a conservative majority, as she replaces one of the court’s most outspoken liberals.
Great choice. The Democrat’s will try to take her over the coals and look bad doing so.
Catholics you can now Vote Blue!!!!! BidenHarris2020 Catholicsforbiden
Yesss!!! Fill the seat!!!❤🇺🇸🙏
Trump now has a court that will protect him he won’t have to show his tax records and if the election is in dispute you can only guess what side they’ll on!
😡😡😡😡😡
Welp....
Now work on Roe v Wade! GLORY 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I wonder who’s gonna come forward that she sexually assaulted 30 years ago.
If she has an ounce of fairness from her suppose Catholic ethic she would refuse a nomination because majority of Americans want no new justice with this POTUS

The notorious acb 😂😂
kahler_bob Fake headline as Trump hasn't confirmed that yet--it may well be true as others have suggested it but the headline says he has decided to select ACB and he hasn't.
Just here to remind you that you're the enemy of the American public. You should be ashamed of what you are doing.
She's 😍 cute.
dcherring Well, she’s got that evangelical shine...
A catholic, She has 7 kids, so obviously she does not believe in contraceptives. Let alone Abortion
It would be hilarious if he selected someone else and had false info leaked just to spite the media
Block her. She doesn’t represent our values. She represents the fringes the far right.
dcherring Hmmm?
A CRIMINAL LIKE TRUMP nomination of a religious fanatic is strange.
Barrett will set us back simultaneously 50 years and 11 years. 50 years of woman’s rights rolled back; 11 years of healthcare rights rolled back. Of course, my guess is that Barrett will set us back 400 years as it relates to black lives. 🤬🤬
Let the accusations flow. The hate fest start all because puppets have their master.Rules must be obeyed you sold your soul.100yrs alive and look at the consequences of that evil. America and humanity at risk
Oh dear lord. She looks like a slightly off golden retriever. You know the type. Ain’t no way she isn’t chewing up that gavel the minute she gets bored.
boooo
Wonderful! 🙏🇺🇲🌷💞🌺👍🌺
So the antithesis of RBG?
Just another religious zealot
So he went with Crazy Amy.
She is a catholic and will work to ban abortion and who knows.. even gay marriage could be banned. This is awful. I don't care if she is a woman.
Goog luck babe judge justly. ❤😊✌🌹
Our new Supreme. Militantly Catholic.
'Each member of the church is allotted a 'personal adviser' who helps them with the 'decisions on marriage, career, and other life choices'. So, who will be whispering in her SCOTUS ear?
a disgrace Trump
🤦🏾♀️
That's a nice picture
Ugh...were living n HandmaidsOnHulu !!! JoyAnnReid hwmnylx SybilWilkes GinoKusa gypsydaze1
dcherring The Illuminati selected her- Trump just did the deed!
And America slips further down the toilet. SAD
Nazi on the United States Supreme Court. Hitler would be so proud. The Neo-Nazi evangelists must be jumping for joy that finally they will have fascist rule over us.
Time for a federal abortion law.
Finally some new blood...
Is Amy going to consult her husband who is considered her Head, a hierarchal control system women in her cult “PEOPLE OF PRAISE” must report to for rulings when she’s on the Supreme Court?
🤗🤗🤗👍
Much better looking. Quite an upgrade!
Another one of trump's 'best people' so you know she is horrible.
This guy's waiting for you, Amy.
Now democrats will hate women tomorrow bc Trump picked a woman!!!!
Christian is good
I hope to see all the feminists with their pink puzzy hats rejoicing tomorrow bc Trump picked a woman
RBG: 'The President is elected for 4 years not 3 years, so the powers that he has in year 3 continue into year 4. Maybe some members of the Senate will wake up & appreciate that that's how it should be.'
A Great pick. She will fight hard for equal rights for all humans.
Great choice. We need sanity on the Supreme court.
This is starting to look like a Dan Brown book. Opus Dei (Extremists Catholic Cult) is pulling the strings right now. Where’s tomhanks when we need him?
Love the pick
Awesome!!!
Hers is another stolen seat on the supreme court. I dont have to respect her. I hope she slips and fall in her luxury bathtub and severely injures her brain.
Let the liberal tears begin 🤣! Trump2020LandslideVictory
Perfect Choice!
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
She's barely out of diapers!!
Wonderful
An insult to all of RBG work.
Her husband seems nice.
oh if you just switch the m and n.
If she’s written papers criticizing Judge Roberts for Obamacare she can’t rule on anything without biased
Just what did she promise? Loyalty or something else? Ummmm.
So, when he talked to her and said, “Amy, I need you to be there for me. I need you Amy. Will you be there for me Amy?” She said yes. End scene.
A terrible & frightening choice - millions will loose their health insurance - women loose the right to choose! Vote like your life depends on it!!!
Is she she one of his home help who help keeps his China well polished
I'm sure the Democrats will vomit nasty BS every minute of every day until she is confirmed. I think she can take it, knowing it's BS! I hope she and the Republicans have a united front and support her! Everything is on the table, right, Chuckie?
Trump selected her over others because he thinks she’s hot looking. If you don’t believe that you don’t know Trump.
Blessed Be the Fruit.....cakes!
Under his eye
Fill That Seat !!!
Wow...what a pretty judge and I wonder are they.....🤔🤔🤔
A privileged woman sending poor women back to butchers and back alley abortions 🤮
Absolutely Wonderful May she do well for the President trying to win re-Election
Does she like beer?
Good choice
This is still speculation. Why is it reported as fact?
Great pick! And she shouldn't recuse herself from election disputes unless Obama/Biden picks Sotomayor/Kagan recuse themselves.
Great choice . Love watching liberal democrats cry .
Nbc sucks so hard!!!
Barrett is on record saying a president should not nominate for the Supreme Court this close to the election especially of the Justice would change the balance of the existing court. She needs to decline
Better start hoarding birth control now.
Good!
This crazy bitch...
The highest possible insult to the memory of a great American. Beyond disgusting.
I NEED a drink!
Good choice.
Nope!!!
Less than 50 days before an election, as Americans vote for the POTUS, senatemajldr plans to force a Supreme Court confirmation through after lying that precedent prevented this during an election year.
How are we feeling about this Twitter?
How flattering yet I dont believe she should accept
Under his eye.
Unimpressed but then this is an appointee of Individual 1 - only thing impressive about him is the hate he’s sown in our Nation SupremeCourt
Dems must expand the court or else this monster will do damage for decades.
Dementia addled old man was informed by his handlers who he would nominate.
Disgusting if you are a lady like making a decision this is sick. AmyConeyBarrett
Morning_Joe Trump researching who the best Justice will be is about as likely as putting a man on the moon this year. As the clown show winds to an end and the moronic Americans supporting him are awakened to the reality that the last 4 years with him were wasted time, may we finally heal!
WillieGeist Will she have to ask her husband how to vote?
wbaltv11 Stay strong Judge !
OMG, she’ll be serving in the bench in 2080. If there is still a Supreme Court. I heard Supreme Leader Barron Trump got rid of it in 2074.
Great another religious fanatic! Women, LGBTQ & healthcare are screwed!!!!
After she drank the kool-aid in a private ceremony with the fascist
TODAYshow My name is Bradley, Bradley V...back when I was in college, co Ed dorm, ya know..this girl, couldn't have weighed 98 pounds, her name was Amy, she forced the whole dorm, slave, Chinese labor, all of us, to knit, knit caps and blankets for orphan babies. Didn't pay us a penny..yo.
I am furious about this! Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg just passed away..it has been only one week. Please give us time to properly grieve. This is RBG’s time and our time. SpeakerPelosi These heartless power-grubbing morons need a strong kick where it hurts. Pls Stop This!
Great news fill that seat you deserve it
sad that republicans are TOO BUSY to pay tribute to Justice Ginsberg. People think about that when voting
The Ds need to stop worrying about the SCOTUS. Until they win back the Senate, which could then lead to possibilities of expansion (though RBG/Biden oppose the idea), the SCOTUS is a lost cause for the Ds. For now, worry about winning back the WH/Senate and retaining the House.
TODAYshow Too conservative for the Court
AKirklen Thank you Ashley ... had not seen news.
Based on trumps track record of choosing most w/a criminal past or conflicts of interest keeping our oversight committees working overtime..I do not trust this one bit! Would she do the job impartially..I doubt it..otherwise they would not be pushing so hard for this. Red flags!!
Morning_Joe Poor Amy she’ll be the most hated justice in America not for her decisions but because how she became a justice - sad !
ACB is RBG 2.0
TODAYshow Oh a goodie Catholic girl probably the worst pick! Maybe her teenage & young adult days will be scrutinized on live TV 🤣! Women may lose there say in rights if this one gets in!JustSayNo VoteTrumpOut BidenHarris2020 RBG RawStory

allinwithchris Women’s rights to choose gone, voters rights gone, the ACA gone especially ppl with pre-existing medical conditions, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, COVID-19, to name a few. VOTE REPUBLICAN (Putin Party)
A cancer to all women.
She's got that 'Michelle Bachman' look! Very concerned!
allinwithchris It is *not* Breaking News. It has not yet been officially confirmed by the one person who can make the announcement, the person who loves to mess with the media. Y’all never seem to learn
Women's rights in 2020⏬
She will be the first Supreme Court Justice ever nominated by an Impeached President!
Morning_Joe OMG!! Breaking news. Trump will nominate an ultra conservative judge and the Republican Senate will approve her. You guys are so good at this....big yawn. THERE’S GONNA BE A COUP, FOCUS!!!!
Great choice!!!
NBCNews Excellent Choice. Congratulations Mr President
Morning_Joe MEDIA: NO CHAT RE CANDIDATES We're not interested Dems must say NO. NO SCOTUS CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE NEXT PRES. NO HEARINGS. NO MEETINGS. BOYCOTT THE LOT! McConnell did this w/MerrickGarland. SenateDems SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi BernieSanders SenWarren KamalaHarris
Here comes Christian sharia
Honestly. Until Trump officially announces its not true.
11hullinger Gag
scotus seats installed by trump cannot weigh in on the election. We are not a monarchy.
allinwithchris Ok SpeakerPelosi what’s your next move?
Morning_Joe one more yes puppet on the way
Does she need to ask her husbands permission? Does she have to run her ruling by him first to make she he approves? Does her “handmaid” get a say in her rulings too?
TODAYshow Man all this fuzz from a president who is gonna lose. Poor guy, wonder if China accepts refunds on them MAGA caps 🧢🤷🏾♂️
As trump panders to LGBTQ community members he walks of the stage embraces and takes apicture with Jeffers, a leading homophobe and nominates an anti-LGBTQ women to SCOTUS. Doubt pandering will work.
Awesome selection!
michikokakutani OfDonald
I guess it would have been to much to expect this person and the other candidates to have bowed out of this controversy.
Yay no more killing babies and no more gay marriages. Burn the rainbow flags. Why not thugs go around burning the American flag. Maybe it' will go back to male marrying woman, the way it's suppose to be. That's what GOD wants.
Every self-respecting woman in the SenateGOP and SenateDems better vote against this nominee. We are watching!
OK Is this news for NBC white people or is it also for NBCBLK I'm confused.
Welcome to Gilead
Love it! Cue the triggered whiners now in 3-2-1...
michikokakutani This is a terrible joyce for Women who wants to rid of other people deciding what they do with their lives !!! We all as human beings own the dignity of our bodies !!!
It want matter because NY AG Report will lead to Fraud Michael Cohen can prove it Trump may be in Trouble October 7 before the election Trump has never mentioned that he is clean Records come in anyway
Morning_Joe Three years as a judge wow she is such an experienced judge to be nominated or the highest court of the land. That was sarcasm and this is the worst possible choice, and instead of honoring a dead woman these Republicans were meeting in secret as they removed her body.
To all my Cuban brothers & sisters in Florida, don’t you find it interesting that realDonaldTrump passed over Barbara Lagoa? I guess we can’t have 2 Latinas on the SC. Sounds like some racist BS to me. VoteTrumpOut
That fascist could screw over civil rights. DON'T LET HIM. ImpeachTrumpAgain SpeakerPelosi
Morning_Joe Goof
well good night america
This is so depressing
Kneepads. And stop depicting her as a girl next door? She is not a very nice person.
🤮 another clown for the circus 🤡
News2Chase NO MORE RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS ON SCOTUS. U.S. is 25% Catholic. SCOTUS SHOULD NOT BE 66% Catholic.
wbaltv11 POTUS was honored to be back in Georgia with a truly incredible organization—BLACK VOICES FOR TRUMP, where He announced a brand new plan to deliver more opportunity, more security, more fairness, and more prosperity to black communities. ThePlatinumPlan
NBCNews Excellent choice. Hopefully there isn’t a witch hunt like there was when Kavanaugh was nominated.
She’s no Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Gotta give it to republicans. They make certain every judge they nominate is 12 to keep America in misery for generations to come!
She is soooooooo awful 🤬🤮🤬🤮
She is an idiot to want that spot,she is no Natorious RBG
So we’re going with Handmaids Tale ok.
In other words - He could not get them to agree to his daughter in the seat. But the closest one will work.
Is a 'void space' the same as a black hole, scientifically? Because Romney's integrity is very 'transactional' - and how very Trumpian that is 'WIFM'? 'What's In It For Me' is the credo of Trump Republicans...they want to make sure they pay no price for having honor or integrity.
NBCNews Great news. Can’t wait to read all the women bashing comments by liberals.
NBCNews Say goodbye to everything!!!!
NBCNews On THE day RBG lies in the Capitol
NBCNews That's today's decision. It gets him headlines - I'm still leaning toward Florida Cuban American. He has Amy's name up how many times, just to get Demopcrats all in a dither about abortion.
NBCNews 🤮
Thay gonna break her just like all the rest it ain't called the SUPREME COURT FOR NOTHING POLLY ANNA GONNA GO THRU SOMETHING
And I should care because of why? Anything to get votes at all costs no matter how immoral it may be! How they continually get away with bull shot is beyond me and how his cult followers have not caught on yet that he doesn’t give a damn about them is beyond me.
If trump is so confident that hell win then why doesnt he wait til after the election
There’s a shocker. Dems need to FIGHT. She’d set the U.S. back 60 years. The hypocrisy of this is blowing my mind. He’s impeached! VoteHimOut
NBCNews Sure GOP, re-start the fucking civil war. If Obama’s candidate, who was nominated in February, doesn’t get a hearing because it was an election year, then Trump’s nominee in LATE September sure as hell shouldn’t get one either! We’re ALL Americans & deserve FAIRNESS from our GOV!
NBCNews Rachel Maddow shall report to the Handmaid’s Tale Re-education Camp forthwith.
Morning_Joe So much for waiting until Saturday.
I hope the Democrats do everything they can to delay and interfere in the process. You know that the Republicans would be screaming blue murder if it was the other way around. shutdown
This is a brilliant strategy. Dems can make it very ugly in the senate and turn off voters before the election. Or just let it happen and keep the best shot at the Oval. Two ways for Trump to win. Two ways for Dems to lose.
President Trump is going name his nominee tomorrow (Saturday).
