Appointed by the president in 2017 to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in Chicago and a former Notre Dame Law School professor, Judge Amy Coney Barrett was named Saturday by Trump as his Supreme Court pick, the Republican-control Senate already in place to rush the nomination and get confirmation before the November presidential election. 

Although Congressional Republicans already have the votes to confirm Barrett, Women's March Cleveland said no way, and that Judge Barrett would be detrimental to women and so many others were she appointed Supreme Court justice to the nine-member high court where Ginsburg, who died on Sept 18, was one of four liberal justices and three non-Black women.

Senate confirmation hearings are set to begin on Oct. 12, and if Barrett were to be confirmed next month as expected, her confirmation would give the court a 6-3 conservative majority.

"Amy Coney Barrett has a long, notorious record as an anti-choice, anti-immigrant rights extremist, "Women's March National said in a statement Saturday. "Her presence on the Supreme Court would be a direct threat against all the freedoms, rights, and feminist values Women's March has fought so hard to defend under this administration." 

Women's March Cleveland head organizer Kathy Wray Coleman, a Black Cleveland activist and women's rights advocate who has organized women's march rallies with others since 2018, and who led the original women's march in Cleveland in 2017, and every anniversary march in Cleveland since that time, agreed.

"As Black women continue to struggle for equality along side our White, Muslim, Palestinian, Jewish and minority sisters we are reminded that not all women are women's rights advocates and some in powerful roles, including appellate court judges, can take the women's rights and Civil Rights movements in the wrong direction," Coleman said.

Cleveland is a largely Black major American city, and Ohio a swing state for presidential elections.

Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, is a Democratic stronghold.

In spite of opposition from women's rights groups and Civil Rights organizations of his Supreme Court nominee, the pro-life president boasted of Barrett's legal credentials, and said she is a judge of integrity.

"She is a woman of unparalleled achievement, towering intellect, sterling credentials, and unyielding loyalty to the Constitution," Trump said of Judge Barrett

The president said Saturday that Judge Barrett is an accomplished legal scholar committed to following the constitution, though Women's March leaders have said that no matter how scholarly the president's supreme court nominee is they disagree with her, and the president, along public policy lines.

Cleveland will also host the Sept 29 debate between Trump and Biden, the first of three debates before the November election, and sponsored by Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic.

At least three Blacks Lives Matter protests, now a youth fueled grassroots organization,  are schedule for the debate and all week in Cleveland beginning Tuesday, Cleveland Black Lives Matter group led by Black activists Latonya Goldsby and Kareem Hinton.

"We will be protesting against the president at least for the next month, beginning on Tuesday," said seasoned grassroots activist Cheryl Lessin of Cleveland Heights.
