WHO WILL SUCCEED GINSBURG ON THE US SUPREME COURT? The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg offers US President Donald Trump an opportunity to replace the progressive Supreme Court justice. Ginsburg, so popular on the left that she has become a cultural icon, had fought cancer for years, and Trump has had ample time to weigh possible nominees for the 87-year-old's spot. Here are some names considered among the favorites: Amy Coney Barrett, a defender of religious rights; Thomas Hardiman, a fierce pro-gun advocate; Joan Larsen, a conservative pillar; Raymond Kethledge, a strict constitutionalist; Republican senators Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley are also on Trump's list of candidates. https://gulfnews.com/world/americas
