To impeach him. Also ahead demonstrators are back on the streets of thailand tens of thousands are expected to turn out against the government. People across the United States and beyond and are paying tribute to the u. S. Supreme Court JusticeRuth Bader Ginsburg she died at the age of 87. 00 she had pancreatic cancer her death has significant political implications too and comes just weeks before the u. S. President ial election ginsburg was a champion of womens rights and the leader of the courts liberal wing alan fischer looks at her life and her legacy. They started to gather on the steps of the Supreme Court in washington as news of Ruth Bader Ginsburgs death broke it brought flowers and candles the number swelled people marking a loss they felt personally. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was physically small but her presence loomed large on the court she was a blunt talking liberal who often challenge her conservative colleagues on the bench born to jewish immigrants in Brooklyn New York in 1033 ginsburg was a brilliant student she was one of only one woman to enroll in Harvard University law school in 1956 later transferring to Columbia University where she graduated at the top of her class the skins book told one Television Interviewer no law firms wanted to hire a married mother i had 3 strikes against me when i was jewish. And the 4 year old. That is the sixtys and seventys launched the Womens Movement ginsburg found a place in academia then as cofounder of a womens rights project for the American Civil Liberties union she wrote the 1st Supreme Court brief on gender discrimination after 12 years as an Appeals Court judge in washington d. C. President bill clinton appointed ginsburg to the u. S. Supreme court in 1993 ginsburg proved to be a consistent liberal voice on the increasingly conservative high court she supported abortion rights and gender equality she also advocated using International Laws to shape u. S. Laws there spoke in ginsburg for several battles with cancer her dying wish was the vacancy her passing creates will not be filled until after the election. Outside the court one trump supporter with a megaphone urged the president to move quickly he was joined by the chants of others. The president has already unveiled a list of people he wants to put on the court if he wins a 2nd term but leaving a rally he only praised justice ginsburg. Basically i mean. What else can you say she was an amazing moment. In time she was an amazing woman. And amazing who lived. Near there. And 2016 Justice Antonin Scalia a republican choice passed before the president ial election the senate refused to confirm a democrat successor named by president obama democratic candidate this time around joe biden says there must be no decision until the election has passed voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider. This was the position of the Republican Senate took in 2060. Or almost 10 months to go before the election thats the position the state senate must take today the republican leader in the Senate Mitch Mcconnell says he will press ahead with nomination hearings if given a name by donald trump that is almost certainly going to happen now he might not be able to get confirmation hearings done by the election in november but could possibly push them through by the inauguration in january and if joe biden wins the election that could create a constitutional crisis here in the United States ginsburg strive to maintain strong liberal voices on the Supreme Court to balance the conservative ones now her own voice has been silenced that balance under threat alan fischer aljazeera outside the u. S. Supreme court. Well as you heard in allans report the Republican Senate majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says whoever President Donald Trump nominates as Bader Ginsburg replacement will receive a vote in the u. S. Senate even with the u. S. Election just 6 weeks away but that wasnt the case 4 years ago when the president was a democrat barack obama now in february 26th Justice Anthony scalia died he was 79 years old and on the court for 30 years but it took just one hour for Mitch Mcconnell to then say quote this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president now at that stage the election to replace mr obama was still 9 months away even so obama nominated Merrick Garland a moderate to fill scalias position but the republican led senate refused to hold any hearings or votes and left his nomination to expire after trump won the election he nominated neil go such a conservative for the still vacant post he was easily confirmed by the senate trump went on to nominate and confirm another conservative Supreme Court judge on in july 28th teen that was Brett Kavanaugh he faced allegations of Sexual Assault prior to his confirmation Josh Blackman is a constitutional law professor at Texas College of law a confirmation hearing will happen before november the election. For nearly 50 years she was at the center of all the major legal developments in our country and we are also saddened profoundly deeply by her loss this this is this was not what we expected to happen now if you pull through at least maybe for some a more time but this is this is really tragic and 2016 the democrats said the president has a right to pick his nominee and person to get here and the republicans said no no here and now republicans say hearing the democrats say no hearings so every once flipping a from side to side i mean this is politics at its worst i think there are a couple things that can happen. Trump a probably make a nominee the 1st step in the process he makes nomination the 2nd step is theres a hearing before a Senate Committee the minute Senate Committee vote and theres a full vote of the entire senate trump can probably make the nomination they might build here for the election although probably tight i did its very unlikely they have a vote before the election but you might get a vote after the election if you can be that some senators who lost their election as lame ducks as we all have in the states can vote to fill the conspiracy that is very likely to happen before january well this is all having implications for the u. S.
