US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, 29 September, defended his decision to appoint Justice Amy Coney Barrett as a judge in the country’s Supreme Court saying that he had the right to do so.
Just a week after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death, Trump on 24 September announced his nominee for her replacement – Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Barrett is known for her support of the “pro-life” movement against abortion laws.
