Feinstein gjorde Barrett till konservativ favorit – nu ser det ut som att de möts igen

Amy Vivian Coney Barrett (born January 28, 1972) is an American lawyer, jurist, and academic who serves as a circuit judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Barrett's scholarship focuses on originalism. Barrett was nominated to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals by President Donald Trump on May 8, 2017 and confirmed by the Senate on October 31, 2017. While serving on the federal bench, she was a professor of law at Notre Dame Law School, where she has taught civil procedure, constitutional law, and statutory interpretation. Eleven months after her confirmation to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017, Barrett was added to President Trump's list of potential Supreme Court nominees. On September 25, 2020, it was reported by multiple U.S. media outlets that Trump intended to nominate Barrett on September 26, 2020 to succeed Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the United States Supreme Court.
