2020 election: Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death throws dramatic election into even more chaos

CNN  

CNN Films’ “RBG” chronicles the life and legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Other Democrats were quick to criticize McConnell’s statement as the height of hypocrisy given that the Senate majority leader sat on Obama’s nomination of Garland during all of 2016, leading many Democratic voters to say their party was robbed of a seat on the Supreme Court as McConnell argued that the “American people should have a say in the court’s direction.” Beyond Democratic outrage, McConnell is facing many logistical hurdles as he seeks to get a successor named to the court by the end of the year. McSally tweeted on Friday night that “this US Senate should vote on President Trump’s nominee for the US Supreme Court.” But Collins told The New York Times’ Jonathan Martin in an interview earlier this month that she would not seat a Supreme Court justice in October. In an interview before Ginsburg’s death on Friday with Alaska Public Media, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who broke with Trump and her party by voting against moving ahead with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, also said she would not agree to confirm a nominee before Election Day. The progressive group “Demand Justice” sent out a fundraising solicitation Friday night calling on supporters to “protect Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy” while stating that “this is a fight that will set the future of the Supreme Court for decades to come.” The group plans to spend $10 million on an ad campaign arguing Ginsburg’s vacancy shouldn’t be filled until after inauguration.
