BREAKING>>>Ruth Bader Ginsburg died

[240B]

If the Dems are announcing this now, my guess is that she actually died months ago.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Not her call.

She never quite understood the Constitution anyway so par for the course.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

You do not beat that Cancer.   It has a 100% death rate.   The press tried to play us.  Yoga don't save you

Yep, my mother-in-law was diagnosed with it and died within 3 weeks.

Ruthie is quite fortunate to have lived this long.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Not enough time to confirm a replacement.

Why?

All it takes is a Republican President and a willing Senate.

We have 4 months.

   If push came to shove couldn't Mitch just call a recess of the Senate?

Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution provides that:

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Thus, when the Senate is in recess, the President may make a temporary appointment to any office requiring Senate approval, including filling vacancies on the Supreme Court, without the Senate's advice and consent. Such a recess appointee to the Supreme Court holds office only until the end of the next Senate session (always less than two years).

Booker: Ginsburg Seat ‘Should Not Be Filled’ Until After Inauguration, If Not, We’ll Have ‘Challenges’ of ‘Legitimacy of our Institutions’

Majority in poll before Ginsburg's death supported holding hearings in 2020

A majority of Americans said in a new poll conducted prior to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death that the Senate should hold confirmation hearings on a Supreme Court nominee for any vacancy this year.

Sixty-seven percent of Americans said in the Marquette University poll released Saturday that hearings should be held, while 32 percent said the Senate should not consider a nominee to the high court in an election year.

Results did not significantly vary along party lines, with 71 percent of independents, 68 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of Democrats saying confirmation hearings should be held.

Oooh.... that would essentially be a big "eff yew" to the Democrats....who have hounded Trump (treason, sedition, insurrection, illegal coup, etc.) for the past almost four years.   And that ...

would be very, very bad.   

Let's do it.

Sanders knocks McConnell: He's going against Ginsburg's 'dying wishes'
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/517208-sanders-knocks-mcconnell-hes-going-against-ginsburgs-dying-wishes


This argument is so funny...if Ruthie was so concerned about who would choose the next Justice she should have retired during O'Bama's Admin

[DCPatriot]

Ginsburg screwed the ones who idolize her.  She just "knew" Hillary would be the President following Obama.  She then tried to run the clock hoping against hope she could make to the next guy and that it would be someone other than President Trump. 

I've slept on it.  The President must move quickly and nominate the next Justice.  Like most, Amy Coney Barrett would be my choice.

Agreed!

America needs another woman on the Supreme Court.

I suspect that woman could be: Amy Coney Barrett

I’m all for women in politics and government. As long as they have been certified as having successfully completed de-programming and/or gone through a family intervention to release (and save) them from their leftist indoctrination.

I'm sick of unearned attributes being offered as reasons to vote for or against anyone. Both sides should stop doing it.

[240B]

RBG has been essentially DEAD for years. What took her place was Soros funded "assistants".

[dfwgator]

Which is it??

Puzzled because just before going to sleep, I read that Mitt Romney dispelled the notion that he wouldn't cast a vote until after January 20th.

[240B]

The only reason the Leftist Communist American Media would ever admit RBG is dead, is with an agenda.

This administration needs to make clear to Americans the benefit to every one of us of having Constitutionalist jurists on SCOTUS, opposed to coercive progressives.

Up until now the left has convinced too many people they stand for freedom and individual liberties when nothing could be farther from the truth.

[bigheadfred]

Nominate me.

I know the rules. I know the law. I make judgments. But I don't judge.

I am 59. White. Male. I've worked for 47 years.




Shit. There goes that dream.

So... Dirty Harry was at least good for "something".   Who knew?

Yes, adherence to the Constitution should be a no-brainer for anyone who serves in government, but especially for anyone on the USSC.   Instead, those words "adherence to the Constitution" are dirty words to the radical left.
