this is beat up any news line from birth and the u.s. supreme court could be unbound to get a further push to the right donald trump announces federal judge any counties barrett to the country's top portion of the republican controlled senate confirms it could ensure a conservative lock on the court in decades also coming out just like that. past the lace in minsk a wrist a 73 year old great grandmother an icon of the opposition to celebrate this forest area and later despite the crackdown protests against the reelection alexander

lukashenko showed no sign of abating. and went to sleep a football ounce but long sleeve dortmund on saturday in a david versus goliath match up. on record as welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has nominated conservative federal judge any coney barrett to succeed supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg if confirmed by the republican controlled senate trump will have put 3 of the 9 justices on the top court possibly handing conservatives long sought wins over contentious legal issues such as abortion and gun rights. it wasn't a surprise decision but that didn't make it any less significant i looked and i studied and you are very imminently qualified for this job you are. president

trump moved quickly after the death of ruth bader ginsburg aiming to secure his supreme court appointment before the election the stakes for our country are incredibly high. the supreme court will issue in the coming years will decide the survival of our 2nd amendment or religious liberty or public safety and so much more his pick amy barrett saying she plans to follow the constitution as it was written. judges are not policy makers and they must be resolute and setting aside any policy views they might hold. but it is a soap described devout catholic and has strong support in the conservative community where they hope she will influence laws on health care gun rights and abortion. i think it's a big win for christians and it's

a big step to take we're taking that next step forward in abolishing abortion. this must be a happy day for barrett but she now faces a bruising journey ahead to officially secure the nomination. thanks i'm sure it'll be extremely non-controversial we said that the last time didn't go away. have to front talked of public hearings in the republican controlled senate where democrats are we doing everything they can to slow the process down thank you ginsburg. the next president. will strongly strongly strongly oppose this nomination it will be decided by a simple majority vote which republicans will win if they stick together barito now spend the next few days meeting with senate is hoping to secure their vote and making her the youngest supreme court justice. controversial nomination i'm

joined by stacey stacey thanks for coming in so what do you make of this announcement do you think barrett managed to convince liberals should we say that she's going to stand on her own and not just toe the republican line well i think that tablo is very interesting is very americana she had her 7 children there and 2 of them have been adopted from haiti she has the youngest has down syndrome her husband was in the rose garden he was very supportive so this is the kind of scene that certain americans like to see. especially christian american voters they really like to see this but in short to answer question no she didn't do enough to try to more win over liberals she did speak about ruth bader ginsburg and her legacy and why it was sort so important but at the end of the day they are ideologically opposed. barrett is more in line with justice antonin scalia who she clerked for who you know anti-abortion not that big on immigration and against the

affordable healthcare act obamacare so no she didn't do enough to convince liberals that she's going to be more open ok what impact would her confirmation if she is indeed confirmed which it is looking likely let's face it what what impact would that have on the future of the court well a few things 1st of all the court will then tilt more conservatively it will be a 6 their image $63.00 majority and so the one swing vote conservative wouldn't would not really go into play so this would reshape issues like immigration reproductive rights health care rights for decades she could be on the bench for 2030 years so this is a big deal but the more immediate thing is the reason why trump a picture he wants somebody because he's been sowing seeds of doubt about the election and mail in ballots and people are doing that more because of the corona virus and he's saying if he doesn't win it's because things are rigged so he wants

a justice that he has picked to be the deciding vote so that if the election is close he would have a better chance of being in office for another term if the decision of mentioning makes it to the supreme court and then after they signed on right so what happens now in terms of the confirmation process how does it proceed and what if any cards to the democrats still have a basically if they really don't have any cards they don't have the numbers what they can do is try to slow things down procedurally they can try to really use come all the harris who is the vice presidential nominee. she's a really tough question or she's on the senate committee so she could really ask some really tough questions so that to this nominee and try to show the difference between a vice president joe biden presidency and a donald trump presidency and try to scare people to be like look if you if this happens you're going to lose your health care you have to get out and vote so they

can't really do too much about the confirmation but they can use a confirmation to galvanize people to get to the bull polls to vote for a democrat this is what they're hoping right interesting days ahead so i think evan thanks very much welcome. large crowds are expected to turn out in bellerose for the 7th consecutive sunday of protests against author terry and later alexander lukashenko on saturday police in the capital minsk made dozens of arrests at a women's march to announcing his re-election in a vote that many say was rigged because attempts to crackdown on protests have done little to the protesters resolve. that. 73 year old great grandmother with the band opposition flag she has been a regular at these protests now she's detained by masked man.
