Americans are rallying against Trump and lawmakers pushing for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's replacement
Thousands of people across the country are rebelling against the idea of replacing the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the November presidential election.
Ginsburg, who died on Friday from pancreatic cancer and left a vacancy on the Supreme Court bench, asked a few days before her death that she "not be replaced until a new president is installed."
Contrary to her wishes, lawmakers immediately began to plan for her replacement, with Democrats and Republicans engaged in a battle over the timeline of succession.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, said in a statement posted to Twitter that President Donald Trump's pick for the seat "will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, indicated his strong disapproval on a conference call Saturday, saying that "nothing is off the table next year" if Republicans push onward with Ginsburg's replacement.
