Missing students new arrest warrants are issued for members of the military and comic is head to the beijing auto show as the industry struggles to recover from the coronavirus pandemic. Thank you for joining us 8 days after the death of Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsberg u. S. President donald trump has officially nominated Amy Connie Barrett to replace a barretts appointment would add another conservative voice to the bench further shifting the courts balance of power to the rights for decades to come president tom says barretts count confirmation will be very quick and straightforward but democratic president ial nominee joe biden has a shit senate to wait until after the election. As described as someone who will issue a ruling spaced on a fair reading off the law. We must preserve our priceless heritage of a nation of laws and there is no one better to do than that amy coney barrett. Law and order is the foundation of the american system of justice no matter the issue no matter the case before her i am supremely confident that judge barrett will issue rulings based solely upon a fair reading of the law she will defend the sacred principle of equal justice for citizens of every race color religion and creed and any county barretts has promised to serve all americans. If confirmed i would not assume that role for the sake of those in my own circle and certainly not for my own sake i would assume this role to serve you i would destroy the judicial oath which requires me to administer Justice Without respect to persons due equal rights to the poor and rich and faithfully and impartially discharge my duties under the United States constitution on democrats have been quick to react Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer says smalls goes against the wishes of the late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. Judge ginsburg at a dying wish that the next president q. Justice ginsburg must be turning or over in her grave up in heaven to see that the person they chose seems to be intent on undoing all the things that ginsburg did. I will strongly strongly strongly oppose this nomination. Amy Connie Barrett has a large following in the religious right because of her stance against abortion mike hanna has more than that i can give to women judge amy coney was on the shortlist to fill the last Supreme Court vacancy but it was controversial pick Rick Cavanagh who was appointed President Trump reportedly telling advisors at the time he was keeping barack to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg when the time came and so it has the nomination being made just over a week off the death of the iconic liberal justice and in defiance of a last wish that the nomination be made after novembers election unlike the justice she will replace amy barrett is a strong opponent of abortion we do know from her record that she has raised questions about abortion rights and also suggested that there are many more abortion restrictions that she would find allowable under the law then say Justice Ginsburg during her confirmation hearing for the 7th Circuit Court of appeals the devolved catholic and mother of 7 was quizzed about whether her religion would influence her position on the road be weighed case a landmark Supreme Court decision guaranteeing a womans right to choose i think in your case professor when you read your speeches. The conclusion one draw us is that the dogma lives loudly within you and. Thats of concern being considered for a position where their peers and there would be no opportunity to be a no vote on roe and as i said to the lady i would faithfully apply our Supreme Court precedent among her staunchest supporters at that time as he is now was the Senate Majority leader professor berge writings and her testimony clearly show a nominee who will uphold our constitution that our nations laws as they are written as they are written not as she wishes they were. This was the philosophical basis of a previous Supreme CourtJustice Antonin Scalia for whom amy barrett worked as a clerk early in her career and shes made it clear she will follow her mentors originalist stance resting on the belief that the Supreme Court appliance of law as outlined by the constitution but leaves it to congress to make law the constitution set a floor below which we cant go but that above that floor there is a lot of room for democracy for the people to add additional protections in to make changes to your services or the Supreme Court if confirmed any barito drawing 5 other justices who share this belief or 3 others on the bench who largely argue the constitution is a living document that reflects a changing society now very much in the minority. Mike hanna aljazeera. Well now that president has officially made his nomination less took at what happens next the process has traditionally taken 2 to 3 months hell notify the u. S. Senate in writing then the Judiciary Committee will conduct their own investigation and many senators will meet with barrett the committee will hold public hearings before voting on whether to recommend her nomination to the full senate once in front of the enticed senate theyll be another debate and then it will go to a floor vote where majority of 51 votes is needed to confirm barretts republicans currently hold the balance of power in the opera house with 53 senators lets speak to Barbara Perry about all this she is the director of president ial studies at the university of virginia also a former judicial fellow at the u. S. Supreme court and was a researcher for former justice chief Justice William rehnquist she joins us from charlottesville very good to have you miss parry with us on the show so i had i say x. Battle that now moves to the senate how do you think democrats are going to handle this confirmation process. I think theyre going to have to handle it very carefully it was kid gloves one might say that is they will want to make their opposition known to this particular nominee but they also want to respect her and the mayor is that she brings to the table and also respect her gender but what i think they will particularly focus on is how quickly this is the push through the senate on what im calling a rocket docket so lets talk about her and justice is served for life and decide many of the countrys hotly contested disputes and a lot of people are describing this nomination as the Supreme Courts Tipping Point what does that mean in practice what is on the line with disappointment of Connie Barrett which issue is the most immediately in jeopardy if you will. Well whats particularly fascinating to me as a political scientist is that the issue that could come before her presuming that she would be confirmed and placed on the court prior to the election is if it is a close election and if for example trump takes cases or to the other side biden takes cases involving litigation about the election to the u. S. Supreme court that would be possible that she would be the Tipping Point in favor of her appointing president President Trump so thats the most immediate issue the next immediate issue is that when the court rises for this next term next week it rises the 1st monday in october by tradition within a few weeks by mid november it will be here in a very important case on the Affordable Care act socalled obamacare and she has tony barrett has indicated that she is against the Affordable Care act and so that could eliminate Health Coverage for many people including those who have preexisting conditions and then of course reproductive cases involving abortion and Birth Control a coming back to to what you talked about the role she could pay if theres a dispute in the upcoming election an interesting fact about her is that she worked along with john roberts and Brett Kavanaugh on george w. Bushs legal team during the 2000 election recount in florida if shes appointed as you said she would be the 3rd justice on the court to have worked for republicans are directly on the bush versus gore case 2000 do you think that she would recuse herself how do you see her handling a potential election dispute. I certainly think that given that she was appointed at this time by this president and would have worked in that dispute i would think she would be like my former boss that is chief Justice Rehnquist who recused himself in the watergate tapes case that really brought down the administration of Richard Nixon because he had worked in the Justice Department of Richard Nixon 3 other members of the court at that time had been appointed by nixon but they had not worked in the administration i should think that county bear would be closest to that historical precedent and i should think that she should recuse herself the fact of the matter is though there is no one who forces someone to recuse the justice gets to make that decision himself or herself one last question of course democrats have been have been complaining about this about the fact that shes nominated before the election itself but could they get something out of this. They could theyve already gotten something out of it that is millions of dollars flowing into the coffers of the Democratic Party for senate and for the president ial run so that is they stirred up the base of the Democratic Party the liberals who supported Justice Ginsburg and who will be opposing this particular nominee so theyve already got something there and they may get something on november the 3rd that is a very large turnout of people who are opposed to this nomination thank you so much for talking to us thank you for your insights Barbara Perry director of the president ial studies at the university of virginia by there from sean a small thank you very much for your time. And other world news the man picked to be lebanons next Prime Minister has resigned method a month into the job. Says he hasnt been able to form a government of specialists in a country where power is shed on long sectarian lines this sense that went on back to square one in its search for a new stable government as in a hot air has our report from beirut. Its been almost a month since most of a db was designated Prime Minister his job was to form a government independent of Party Loyalists after the previous cabinet resigned following the devastating explosion at the port of beirut last month its not easy in lebanon where the same political elite accused of pushing the country to near bankruptcy have been in power for decades i realise that the agreement on the basis i accepted this National Mission during this difficult time of lebanons history no longer exists as well as that the government line up for dispositions that i put. A deaves mission was supported by france which has been leading International Efforts to resolve lebanons multiple crises by bringing change to the leadership president in mind where mccall said during his 2nd visit after the port blast that lebanese politicians agreed to form a cabinet by mid september see an already. Fragile skepticism with this class and was very much a final ultimatum so i would be surprised if the french choose to give that same strategy another shot the Armor Movement and hezbollah backed by iran have been blamed for standing in the way of a deal by insisting on naming shia muslim representation in government a 1000000 hezbollah are part of the socalled march 8th alliance that currently control political power in the sectarian based system of government here the shia parties feel the other camp the march 14th alliance is carrying else a political coup against the results of the last election. But others say their loyalty to iran brings lebanon into the heart of the us iranian rivalry there are 3 and they are squeezed cornered instead of being them through his will on the border and israel has moved towards the borders of iran so basically yes it is in the core of the conflict in. Iranian conflict much is in. Doubt for a country where more than 50 percent of its 5000000 people are officially poor the reforms the mandate by the International Community to unlock Financial Assistance among them fighting corruption and audits is likely to hurt and implicate the Political Class that is why leaders resisted for years microns roadmap however doesnt just set deadlines it warrants a possible consequences this is a broken and broken nation not even the threat of western sanctions pushed politicians who are stronger than the state to give up power and agree to change some say the French Initiative to save lebanon has died others say it can still be revived but the lebanese president did warn the country was going to hell if a government is not formed xenophobe beirut sima head on aljazeera how he is of u.

S. Sanctions even morgan reports. Facing rising inflation and a currency thats lost have its value in the past month alone sudans Transitional Government launched talks aimed at resolving the countrys troubled economy. Our economy has been deteriorating for years and its reached its peak now citizens are bearing more than they can which forces us even though were late and doing it to look for Sustainable Solutions at home and abroad at home we need to know the causes of the economic crisis because were still trying to figure out of the problem is structural or administrative it was a shortage of fuel bread and high inflation that triggered protests in 2018 that led to the overthrow of sudans president a few months later and its these very same issues along with the continued drop in the value of the sudanese found that the Transitional Administration now faces the coronavirus pandemic and widespread floods have weakened the economy even further. In this conference we should look back at the past year and get over it obstacles by using the experience to achieve the 2nd article of our declaration that article states ending the economic deterioration and improving Living Standards of citizens in every aspect that will not be achieved until we take advantage of our resources and making sure the ministry of finance is in control of all public funds sudans economy has been in a downward spiral since south sudan gained independence in 2011 taking with it 75 percent of the oil fields which then provided nearly half of the countrys g.

S. List even more urgent after agreeing to massive compensation payments so dan had expected the matter to be resolved very soon but then during his visit to hot zone last month the u. S. Secretary of state at the requirement that sudan normalize ties with israel so dan replied by saying the Current Administration did not have such a mandate and that the 2 issues should remain separate meanwhile the sudanese people continue to suffer the impact of being blacklisted out of that we now have a crisis in transportation in bread in market prices and its all because of the state of the economy we want the u. S. To get us off the list of state sponsored terrorism so we can develop like the rest of the world you know to have that you if i buy a kilo of meat one month i cant do it in the next if i get medical treatment one month i cant get it in the next simply because the prices keep increasing because of the economy and the currency shortages its becoming unbearable for many more than 60 percent of the countrys 42000000 people live below the poverty line the government says the conference is the 1st step in a long journey to revive the economy he will morgan aljazeera how to.
