  • The death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will enable U.S. President Donald Trump to nominate a third jurist to the Supreme Court.
  • The US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday at the age of 87, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. 
  • Earlier this month, the US President announced a list of 20 potential contenders he would tap if a vacancy on the nine-justice court emerged.

The death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday will enable U.S. President Donald Trump to nominate a third jurist to the Supreme Court and galvanize support among conservative voters ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

Trump earlier this month announced a list of 20 potential contenders he would tap if a vacancy on the nine-justice court emerged.

The list included Republican Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Tom Cotton of Arkansas, as well as many judges who Trump already has appointed to lower federal courts.

Cruz quickly demurred while Cotton embraced the idea of being a potential successor. 

Also on the list were Noel Francisco, who until recently served as the Trump administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer; Daniel Cameron, Kentucky’s attorney general; and Paul Clement, the top Supreme Court lawyer under former Republican President George W. Bush and now one of the most prominent private attorneys who argues cases before the justices.

The list – names added to another roster he issued earlier in his presidency – brought the number of different potential nominees Trump has said he would consider to 44. Another prominent name on the prior list include Amy Coney, a judge on the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

An additional vacancy could enable Trump to move the court further to the right.

Trump’s two previous appointees to the Supreme Court were Neil Gorsuch in 2017 and Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.

If Trump is able to appoint a successor, the court would have a rock-solid 6-3 conservative majority.

Supreme Court justices, who receive lifetime appointments, play an enormous role in shaping U.S. policies on hot-button issues such as abortion, LGBT rights, gun rights, religious liberty, the death penalty and presidential powers.

That could deliver changes long sought by conservatives such as overturning the court’s landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. The court could also play a pivotal role in deciding a dispute over the 2020 election, much as it did in the landmark 2000 case of Bush v. Gore.
