The 48 year old Barrett, , is a constitutional scholar and conservative jurist who Trump named to the federal appeals bench in 2017.
Her nomination comes just over a week after the death of longtime Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a staunch liberal, on September 18. If the Republican-held Senate confirms Barrett’s nomination, the party will swing the nine-member Supreme Court to a 6-3 conservative majority.
According to reports, the move is likely to set up a political showdown between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate.
