Became tilly tributes to pay their respects to mark the passing of a woman few here knew but all respected 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 to our. 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 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 us 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. We started to gather at the court soon after her death was announced their numbers grew there were hundreds the. One time 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 the Justice Ginsburg. Days your life. What else can you say she was an amazing woman. She was an amazing woman. And 26 thieves Justice Antonin Scalia a republican choice passed before the president ial election the senate refused to confirm but there were crowds successor named by president obama democratic candidate this time 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. There were almost 10 months to go before the election. Thats the position the state senate must take today both tom says hes going to push ahead and make a nomination as quickly as possible hes backed by the leader of the republicans in the Senate Mitch McconnellMitch Mcconnell might try and get confirmation before the election if he cant do that theres a possibility this process may drag all the way to inauguration in january heres the problem 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 that her own voice has been silenced that balance under threat alan fischer aljazeera the u. S. Supreme court. A particle hanging is also following a story joins us live now from washington patty as i was saying people have been continuing to pay their respects to Justice Ginsburg tell us more about the reaction of course the plans from the republicans to place that seat. I think its worth pointing out that Ruth Bader Ginsburg really became a hero to women of all ages in this country when she then i think a lot of that has to do with her time before she actually sat on the court she spent a lot of time arguing before the Supreme Court before she actually became a justice and some of her cases changed the lives of every single American Woman alive today because at the time when she started fighting these cases women couldnt necessarily have the same jobs they could necessarily serve on juries get mortgages on their own get credit cards on their own unless they were married she really changed the legal dynamic just with the power of her brain and her words and she has been celebrated the subject of movies so that youre seeing this outpouring from women of all ages in this country really celebrating the life and what a difference her life made now again now that thats been said this is a very political topic as allan mentioned back in when obama was in office it was in march she put it Merrick Garland and the majority leader at the time senator Mitch Mcconnell said you can elect a justice in an Election Year as joe biden mention that was 10 months before the election and were now just a couple what 6 weeks before the election and so Mitch Mcconnell saying in those weeks he wants to try and push through a nominee couple problems with that theres a lot of tape here so senators like Lindsey Graham have been saying up until just a couple years ago look weve set the precedent if opening comes on the court in the president ial campaign is underway we cant possibly put someone up hes now tweeting out that he will support putting the justice in their place in that place because of how people treated Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings but now were also seeing some republicans who are in a lot of trouble on the campaign trail like senator Susan Collins shes trailing her opponent shes come out and said no we cannot vote for a justice before the president ial election Mitch Mcconnell has a very short window and a very very tiny majority if hes going to get this done its going to be a uphill battle and just put this into context for us and i see whats at stake here in terms of the way the Supreme Court affects the country socially and politically. Really i dont think you can actually even put into words what a Seismic Shift this will mean if you think about the last 2 justices who u. S. President trump replaced those are republicans they were appointed by past republican president s so whoever trumped up it didnt really matter it was going to challenge change the balance of the court that is not the case here this would swing the court to reliably conservative that would have huge impacts on Health Insurance in the state in the United States a gender equality but the Biggest Issue is going to be abortion now if you look at poll after poll after poll for the last few decades its republicans who say they vote based on whats going to happen with the Supreme Court because abortion is legal in this country so that is a huge issue for republicans but now with the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg it is quite possible that the u. S. Supreme court could out rule could basically outlaw abortion so what youre seeing now is democrats are hugely fired up in just the last 24 hours democratic organizations and candidates have raised tens of millions of dollars an unheard of amount so really what youre seeing is this is could be likely a key key issue in the upcoming president ial race all right thank you very much from washington call aine. So the make up of the Supreme Court has passed he was just mentioning that could now take a sharp turn to the political right the court is made up of 9 members and up to now has been split 54 in the conservatives favor chief Justice John Roberts was appointed by a republican president but as recently acted as a swing vote playing a role as the consensus builder they see if that helped secure narrow victories for the really brawls on issues like immigration and abortion rights appointing another conservative would tip the balance for the right head of upcoming cases on same sex adoptions and health care Barbara Perry is the director of president ial studies at the university of virginias millicent who joins us now from charlottesville how quickly is President Trump likely to make his selection and how swiftly then will we see Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell respond in this country we call this the rocket docket when it involves cases coming before the Supreme Court or other courts when they are expedited were going to see i think a rocket docket for a Supreme Court nomination so i think probably this week will not be too soon for the president to make a nomination from the list that he sent out last week adding to the list he already had so hes up to about 40 possibilities and i think senator mcconnell the leader of the republicans in the senate the majority leader will begin to work on it immediately and that there is work to be done on these confirmation hearings take time involves planning and scheduling and preparation so is that likely to i mean thats going to take a couple of months isnt it. I again i think that its going to be on a rocket docket process and that i think theyve been ready for this obviously Justice Ginsburg had been very ill as everyone knew particularly starting this summer so i think that theyre probably ready to go through the switch as it were as soon as they got the official word that she had passed and that they can get the confirmation hearings started one issue will be having to bring in some members of the senate who are out campaigning right now a 3rd of the senate is up and about 2 thirds of those are republicans and some have dozen or so are in very tight races so that will be a cost to the republicans have to bring people out off the campaign trail such as it is during kogut so there will be that and i think theyll pick someone who is ready to i hit the ground running as they say ready to go before a committee almost on a moments notice and begin to do circulate on capitol hill and do courtesy calls just to be claire is going to be a nomination and herrings taking place before the election but what about the vote. Its even possible and particularly for Mitch Mcconnell if hes trying to make this case to the Republican Base that put put him back in the senate hes up for reelection in his home state of kentucky put all the republicans back in and keep the republican majority and keep President Trump in the oval office because any time there is an opening on the highest court in the land or the other federal benches these will be reliable conservative so i think hell try to get a vote prior to the election if he cannot get it done that fast it will happen in the socalled lame duck session that will be between the election and the end of this congress which actually ends before the inauguration it will end the 1st week in january i mean its a republican Court Nomination at stake so obviously they came to move quickly but how conscious is Mitch Mcconnell of the fact that this comes at a while it an awkward time for republicans who are facing tough races in the senate as you were saying is there a a divergence a clash between short and long term interests here for them yes but i would tell you hes probably in his home city of lawyer which happens to be my home city in kentucky and we both are graduates of the university of louisville which is playing a very big football match the same thing that hes a huge Football Player a football fan and if he could have been a Football Player perry would but he was a bit too small for that but he is he is plays the long game in the short. And so he will know exactly what strategy to use to maximize his goals which are to be reelected himself keep the senate in republican hands get another conservative on the Supreme Court and reelect donald trump what about Public Opinion will will people be in favor of this being pushed through so quickly particularly after what happened in 2016. Well theres an interesting split there as well it shows the polls are showing just up to Justice Ginsburgs passing and the polls were showing that both democrats and republicans to the tune of about 60 percent were putting Supreme Court appointments in the top 3 or 4 of their prior ties to issues for this upcoming election on november the 3rd but what calls are also showing is that the vast majority of americans want joe biden to pick the next nominee. What about the options for the democrats to talk to us more about that because their power is limited it is indeed there is very little the democrats can do except speak out speak out forcefully not only on capitol hill but around the country for biden and for those democrats who are running against incumbent republicans in the senate to try to get a democratic majority in the senate if that happens they have to play the long game now as well because the short game they have almost no power because theyre in the minority the long game if they should take over the Senate Perhaps would be to try to expand the membership of the court the number of justices which is in their right to do that hasnt been done since 869 but they could try to do that particularly with a democratic President Joe Biden in the oval office and then try to socalled pack the court with democratic nominee among these new members well thank you very much really appreciate your time on the news our Barbara Perry director the president ial studies at the university of virginias Miller Center thank you.
