“The death of Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg sparked a titanic political struggle that could shape the future of the United States Supreme Court’s decisions for the next generation on issues such as abortion, voting rights and other fundamental issues,” previews in the online edition ‘today, donates September 19, the newspaper’ The Guardian ‘.
According to the same media, “this struggle could also determine the contours of American society for the next 30 or 40 years, taking into account the central role that the United States Supreme Court plays in legislation on cultural, social issues and politicians ”.
“The confirmation of this next battle by the Senate [norte-americano] will act as a reminder of the influence that the court [Supremo Tribunal dos EUA] it holds within the framework of the United States’ governance system and on the impact it has on the daily lives of citizens, ”said the article in ‘The Guardian’.
The same newspaper notes that “Donald Trump has already appointed two Supreme Court judges – but both were conservative [republicanos] replacing conservatives. If the bor president succeeds in replacing [da juíza] Ginsburg, this decision will fundamentally change the composition of the court, since it will replace a [juiz] liberal [democrata] by another conservative. Such a decision will ensure an attractive majority in court and is likely to change American life in an unprecedented way. ”
“The capacity of the Supreme Court [dos EUA] interpreting legislation, from abortion to voting rights, through racial segregation and LGBTQ + community affairs means that a successful nomination [por parte do presidente norte-americano] it will probably be Trump’s most enduring legacy. Supreme Court justice serves open ends, impacting the country decades after any president leaves the White House, ”warns The Guardian.
In the face of this eventuality, the vast majority of Democratic Party leaders want the replacement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by a new judge in the United States Supreme Court to be assumed only by the American president who is appointed in the elections scheduled for November 3 next. .

In 2010, the court lifted most restrictions on spending by large companies on political campaigns. In 2013, it removed the voting rights protections that have been in place since the civil rights era [nos Estados Unidos]”Explains ‘The Guardian’.
The article continues: “such are the ways in which this court has a material impact on the lives of American citizens” and “that is why the battle for the replacement of Ginsburg represents a totemic struggle for America’s future”.
Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg led the liberal (Democratic) wing of the United States Supreme Court, although, technically, it should be positioned in an apolitical way, as, indeed, any judgment of the United States Supreme Court.
“Ginsburg’s death struck a profound blow, like a lightning bolt, in the 2020 presidential elections [nos Estados Unidos], which have already been described as the most important in a lifetime. It looks like it is about to put the court at the center of a Category 5 hurricane of party fighting, political machinations and deep uncertainty ”, concludes the article in ‘The Guardian’.
