Poison the russian Opposition Leader alexina valdes says his recovery will take a long time. And the the that is why the revival of these animals is so important to the english countryside. People remembering a trail blazer in the fight for womens rights as a political battle brews over her u. S. Supreme court successor Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg has died at the age of 87. 00 after being a powerful liberal figure on americas highest court for 27 years 6 weeks out from the president ial election republicans are in a rush to fill her seat with a conservative voice democrats say the next president should make that decision alan fischer with more on villains birds a legacy. We came to leave tributes to pay their respects to mark the passing of a woman who here knew but all the suspected a loss they felt personally even if Ruth Bader Ginsburgs decisions from the Supreme Court mean not to touch their lives she 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 broke told one Television Interviewer no law firms wanted to hire a married mother i had 3 strikes against me when i was jewish. I was the mother of a 4 year old. But as 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 gives birth 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. Theyre spoken ginzburg fought several battles with cancer her dying wish was the vacancy her passing creates will not be filled until after the election. We started to gather at the court soon after her death was announced their numbers grew there were hundreds the. One trump supporter with a megaphone arch the president to move quickly he was trained 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. Facing life. 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 round of 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 ginsburg strive to maintain strong liberal voices on the Supreme Court to balance the conservative wants now her own voice has been silenced that balance under threat. Well lets go live now to alan fischer who is outside the Supreme Court and now that it looks like there are people there still paying their respects just bring us up to speed whats the latest reaction and what more do we know on the republican plans to fail it has seat. People started coming here to the Supreme Court i mean really after the announcement of Ruth Bader Ginsburgs there throughout the day last 5 or so weve been here the number of floral tributes have increased significantly as people leave messages for the late justice were waiting to see exactly what the republicans will do just across the road in the senate but weve already had from donald trump on twitter in the last couple of hours he said that they must push ahead and name a replacement that certainly fits in with what Mitch Mcconnell was saying he is the republican leader of the senate and in a couple of hours of Ruth Bader Ginsburg dying he said that it was his intention if donald trump provided a name to go ahead with the vote in the Judiciary Committee and then on the full floor of the senate for confirmation and he hoped to do that before the election thats where there could be a problem no there is the possibility hell be able to get that process done before the election although there is some dough that every single republican senator would support that vote before an election but he may well push it through and if he cant then he could possibly do it during whats called the lame duck session from the election to the inauguration heres where the problem arises if joe biden wins the election and Mitch Mcconnell pushes through a republican justice then you have a problem and joe biden may well be put in the position where he has to expand the Supreme Court from 911 to 13 Something Like that people call it packing the court but providing more democratic appointed justices than there are republicans. Alan just remind our International Viewers of whats at stake here why the way that the Supreme Court lns is so important. A lot of times political decisions end up in the Supreme Court you can think of 2 very big examples there was marriage of forward to when gay people were given the opportunity to get married across the United States that was a decision essentially handed down by the Supreme Court looking at the constitution and also the challenges to the Affordable Healthcare Act which have been defeated in the Supreme Court even though republicans would like to see that happen much sooner than that theres also another big decision coming to the Supreme Court on the Affordable Health care act and all that circulates around the idea of preexisting conditions donald trump has said that he will protect preexisting conditions but the reality is there are republicans who are challenging the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court will be where that decision is made forcibly in the next few months and so you can see why the Supreme Court play such an Important Role heres another couple reasons why the Supreme Court is important normally when people on the court of these 44 split at the moment roughly 5453 you would suggest in favor of republicans if the election is contested think back to 2 to the year 2000 the final decision me will rest with the justices of the Supreme Court so that is a concern going ahead with an election that has been contentious in the run up and donald trump says may be stolen from and heres the other thing that could be important as well if donald trump loses the election there is the real possibility that he will face some sort of legal challenge Legal Proceedings because of things that he did during his time in Office People have been talking about that for several months if that were to go ahead inevitably or go through the Legal Process but could end up here at the Supreme Court and what you could have are 9 justices sitting down to decide the case about donald trump went through. 3 of those justices thats a 3rd of the court have been appointed by dont trump so you see why the Supreme Court is such an important part of the United States and how its governed but you also see why appointing a new justice provides the potential for a constitutional crisis here in the United States ok thank you for that alan fischer there live from the Supreme Court in washington d. C. Police have made hundreds of arrests in a repeat of last weekends protests women defied the Police Crackdown to join marches in the capital minsk protesters continue to call for the resignation of president Alexander Lukashenko on last months disputed election our correspondent steadfast and witnessed some of the arrests in minsk.
