A new report from the highly respected Pew Research group shows that support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has been on the decline since June.

In May, the death of George Floyd set off protests across the country in support of the BLM movement. It was a term first coined after the death of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old black teenager, by George Zimmerman, who was suspicious of the teen’s actions in a Florida neighborhood. Since then, every time a black man or woman dies during an interaction with the police, regardless of whether the reason is justified, the BLM movement is mobilized.

According to the BLM website, “Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.”

The Pew Research report shows that for most Americans, this message is beginning to wear a little thin.

Following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last Friday of complications from pancreatic cancer, President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that he will nominate a woman for the empty slot on the court by the end of this week.

Interviewed on Fox and Friends, the president said he has four, or perhaps five potential nominees he is considering. The president recently referenced three of those he is likely to choose from: Amy Coney Barrett, a judge on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals; Barbara Lagoa, a judge on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals; and Allison Jones Rushing, a judge on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. All three were appointed to their current positions by President Trump.

Here’s what we know about each of these distinguished jurists.

Following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, much of our national conversation has turned once again to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court opinion which declared abortion legal throughout the country.

Unlike what you may have heard, the average American supports significant restrictions on abortion.
Now that Roe has reentered the public debate, many articles, tweets and polls have come out showing how most Americans, ostensibly, support keeping Roe v. Wade in place.
