Watch as President Donald Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Barrett, if confirmed, would replace the recently deceased Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the high court bench.
She would become the third Justice confirmed to the Supreme Court by Trump in his first term as President. Trump’s already gotten Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh confirmed to the bench.

Barrett served as a clerk for the late-Justice Antonin Scalia.
“I fully understand this is a momentous decision for a President,” Barrett said. “I love the United States and I love the United States Constitution.
“Should I be confirmed, I will be mindful of who came before me,” she added.
Barrett praised Ginsburg in her comments at her nomination ceremony outside the White House.
“She was a woman of tremendous talent and consequence,” Barrett said.
Barrett is married to husband, Jesse, and they have 7 children together.
