With the backdrop of American flags, President Trump spoke briefly about the accomplishments of Judge Barrett and then introduced her as his nominee:
“She is a woman of unparalleled achievement, towering intellect, sterling credentials, and unyielding loyalty to the Constitution.”

She also mentioned Justice Ginsburg to praise her efforts in women’s rights: “She not only broke glass ceilings, she smashed them.”
Democrats should be careful not to overplay their hand on this one, but that’s too much to ask of these radicals.
