- 4 years ago
President Donald Trump praised Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday, whose death had been announced earlier that day.
In a statement, Trump praised Ginsburg for her deft ability to 'disagree without being disagreeable.'
However, Ginsburg's passing has been met with a flurry of congressional speculation about who will be the one to nominate her replacement.
A source close to the president told CNN that Trump has been 'salivating' to nominate a replacement for Ginsburg even before her death.
CNN reports Trump favors federal appeals court judge Amy Coney Barrett. Popular with religious conservatives, the source said she's unlikely to pass muster.
