[00:00.04]The death of a United States Supreme Court justice
[00:04.72]has set off a new political battle
[00:08.36]just six weeks before the nation's presidential election.
[00:15.48]Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died Friday night
[00:20.28]at her home in Washington, D.C. She was 87 years old.
[00:27.64]Over the weekend, crowds gathered near the Supreme Court building
[00:32.88]to remember the life of Ginsburg, who served over 27 years on the high court.
[00:41.44]Some people brought flowers and pictures of the justice.
[00:47.04]One group performed the Christian hymn "Amazing Grace."
[00:53.36]Ginsburg was the first Jewish woman on the court.
[00:58.68]One sign read, "Today we mourn, tomorrow we fight."
[01:05.60]Weekend memorials also took place in other U.S. cities.
[01:11.68]In New York City's Brooklyn neighborhood, where Ginsburg was born,
[01:16.64]people gathered to remember her judicial work and lifelong public service.
[01:24.64]Ginsburg was best known for her defense of the rights of women and minorities.
[01:33.00]She spent her final years on the Supreme Court
[01:36.84]as the unquestioned leader of its liberal wing.
[01:42.04]After her death was reported, praise of Ginsburg
[01:46.28]appeared to come from all political sides, including the White House.
[01:52.96]In a statement, President Donald Trump said, "Her opinions,
[01:58.24]including well-known decisions regarding
[02:01.64]the legal equality of women and the disabled,
[02:05.92]have inspired all Americans, and generations of great legal minds."
[02:14.08]His statement noted that Ginsburg had "demonstrated
[02:18.80]that one can disagree without being disagreeable."
[02:24.60]Supreme Court justices are nominated by the president
[02:29.40]and confirmed by the Senate.
[02:33.20]Some U.S. politicians were quick to express their opinion
[02:38.00]about moving forward with filling her seat on the high court.
[02:44.08]Top Republican Party lawmakers are pressing for action
[02:48.80]on Ginsburg's replacement before the November 3 election.
[02:55.48]Democratic Party supporters want to delay the action until after the election,
[03:01.68]hoping their presidential candidate, Joe Biden, will win.
[03:08.12]Trump, the Republican nominee, said on Monday
[03:12.60]he is considering a short list of candidates to replace Ginsburg.
[03:18.52]The president reportedly plans to announce his choice on Friday or Saturday.
[03:26.64]It will be Trump's third nominee to the Supreme Court
[03:30.92]since taking office in 2017.
[03:35.36]Ginsburg's death gives him the chance to shape a conservative majority
[03:41.36]that will likely influence the court's decisions for years to come.
[03:47.84]Trump rejected calls that the Republican-controlled Senate
[03:52.44]should wait to vote on a nominee until after the election.
[03:58.08]"The final vote should be taken before the election.
[04:02.36]We have plenty of time for that," he said.
[04:07.64]Former Vice President Biden called Trump's plan for a quick vote
[04:12.88]to replace Ginsburg "an exercise of raw political power."
[04:19.68]Trump has suggested he will nominate a woman
[04:23.56]and confirmed the names of two possibilities:
[04:27.72]Judge Amy Coney Barrett and Judge Barbara Lagoa.
[04:34.16]Barrett serves on the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals,
[04:40.56]while Lagoa is a federal district judge from Florida. B
[04:46.40]oth are said to have taken right-leaning positions in court rulings.
[04:53.64]Trump noted that Lagoa is a Hispanic-American
[04:57.92]from the politically important state of Florida.
[05:01.96]Lagoa, a Cuban-American, is "excellent, she's Hispanic,
[05:07.36]she's a terrific woman," Trump said. "We love Florida."
[05:13.72]As the battle over the replacement process began, Reuters news agency noted
[05:20.32]a sharp rise in political donations from Democratic Party supporters.
[05:27.12]More than $90 million flowed from the donors
[05:31.48]in just over 24 hours, Reuters reported.
[05:37.12]On the Republican side, Iowa Senator Joni Ernst's re-election campaign
[05:43.72]sent out an email shortly after Ginsburg's death was announced.
[05:49.96]"BREAKING: The future of the Supreme Court is on the line," the email read.
[05:57.32]At a Trump campaign event in North Carolina,supporters shouted "fill that seat"
[06:04.20]when the president raised the issue of the open court seat.
[06:09.20]Speaking at the event Saturday, Paulette Fittshur told The Associated Press
[06:15.36]she believes Ginsburg's death "was God's perfect timing in this election."
[06:22.04]She called it "a golden opportunity for conservatives."
[06:28.12]But another Trump supporter, Chris Holmes,
[06:31.64]said a nomination fight is not what the country needs
[06:36.32]or what Republicans should take on before the presidential election.
[06:43.32]Holmes, a 58-year old engineer, also attended the North Carolina campaign event.
[06:51.92]Holmes said he was worried about what might happen after November 3
[06:57.84]if the result is disputed or unclear: "Violence is coming," he warned.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
