Donald Trump has nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. If confirmed by the Senate, the court will have a 6-3 conservative majority and Barrett will be the third justice on the court nominated by Trump. Barrett has openly opposed the Affordable Care Act and abortion, while supporting extensive gun rights and Trump's views on immigration. She also belongs to the group People of Praise who believes "sexual relations should only happen between heterosexual married couples" which is concerning to the LGBTQ community who just recently were granted the ability to get married. Barrett did say that as a justice she will only rule on the law and not take into account her personal views. It is expected that the Senate will have a 51-50 majority to confirm Barrett whenever they hold a vote.
