Mediation: ,,Klar und konsequent konservativ" von Annett Meiritz, 26.09.20 https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/international/amy-coney-barrett-klar-und- konsequent-konservativ-trumps-kandidatin-fuer-den-supreme-court-im-portraet- /26221538.html?ticket-ST-1972991-AETydsBGWz4rClUlocpT-ap4 I have been following the news lately, but I don't understand the American liberals' worries about the upcoming appointment.

Now, these are many theoretical trains of thought but appointing Barrett as the third justice in his first term of office would surely be a great success for Trump and a huge boost for his campaign since he had been planning to nominate Amy Coney Barrett for a while already. Maybe this helps to understand all the buzz going on...
