Trump nominates religious conservative Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court – BBC News
President Trump has announced that he is nominating the conservative federal judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the US Supreme Court.
The nomination will trigger a bitter political battle in Congress as Republicans try to have Judge Barrett confirmed by the Senate, before the Presidential and Congressional elections in November.
The US Supreme Court’s nine justices serve for life and their rulings can shape public policy long after the President who nominated them has left office.
Judge Barrett is described as a “devout Catholic” who believes that “life begins at conception”. That’s made her a favourite among religious conservatives in America who hope to overturn the landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling which legalised abortion across the United States.
She’s been nominated to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the death of the liberal justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who became famous for her defence of abortion and women’s rights.

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran it could face “annihilation” without a US deal over the ongoing conflict, although he said he believed an agreement would be made after US mid-term elections in November.
Trump said UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is a man he can do business with as they met for the first time in New York.
But he criticised the UK’s plan to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius – the islands which are home to a joint US-UK military base.
Trump also met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines.
