President Donald Trump recently announced his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, and that has some legislative candidates speaking out.

U.S Senate Democratic candidate Theresa Greenfield recently made a campaign stop in Greene County, and was asked how critical the next appointment to the Supreme Court would be. She told Raccoon Valley Radio she believes the appointment should be made after the November election, where the people decide who is the president and senators that ultimately get to make that decision.

Greenfield shared her concern of a more pressing matter of a lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act that the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear next week.

“On day one of this general election, I called on Senator (Joni) Ernst to oppose that lawsuit. Because not only would it dismantle the ACA, and take away our protections for pre-existing conditions, you know another thing that it might do is end Medicaid expansion.”

The Supreme Court currently has eight justices, due to the recent passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Trumps’ nominee as her replacement is Judge Amy Barrett. The Senate can approve or deny any nominee for the highest court in the country. All Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life.
