onald Trump’s nomination to the US Supreme Court is an “extreme ideologue” who would overhaul decades of progress on women’s rights, campaigners warned.
The US president nominated Amy Coney Barrett on Saturday to fill the seat left empty by liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died at the age of 87 last week.
Ms Barrett, a former law professor at the University of Notre Dame, is a circuit judge on the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which is a key position in the country’s judiciary.
