Justice Ginsburg paved the way for so many women, including me. There will never be another like her. Thank you RBG.

I always saw Ginsburg as being true to what she believed in -- I have always seen Hillary only acting in her own best interest.

Yes fair is fair, Murkowski. Brilliant comment. The rats prove that every single day.

With friends like these Trump won't be able to move forward until well after the election.

Right, because a Democrat President would also play fair....

Murkowski only has her seat because Democrats voted en masse for her.  She is beholden to them.

Murkowski only has her seat because Democrats voted en masse for her.  She is beholden to them.

She won her seat also because Mitch McConnell refused to support Joe Miller.

That pretty much settle things...Murkowski, Collins and Willard will refuse to allow a replacement before the election so Trump doesn't have the majority to push a nomination through even if he tried.

[andy58-in-nh]

Thanks, Alaska.  Can we give it back to the Russians?

Sure, but only if Putin gives us Georgia. Because the one we have now needs more pro-democracy votes to offset Atlanta....

[DCPatriot]

OMG...I bet the rats heads are exploding....

Thank God we have the Senate...but talk about a gift to incentivize Dems to get out the vote.

[RedHead]

Not enough time to confirm a replacement.

Or enough votes.

Better to wait and use it as a campaign issue for Senators like Collins and Gardner and McSally.  Playing up who you want voting for the next Supreme Court justice might actually save a seat or two.

Political statement on RBG's passing FIRST before condolences... what a class act you are.



Chuck Schumer
@SenSchumer
The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.

BREAKING: JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG HAS PASSED AWAY
SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 BY STEVEN HAYWARD

If you thought this election was already thermonuclear, just wait for what happens over the next 72 hours—and seven weeks to the election for that matter.

You are right SpewMore which is PRECISELY why this nomination needs to be made soon, so that the PEOPLE CAN CHOOSE.

But you don't want that do ya SpewMore? Cuz you know they'll choose Trump.

[mountaineer]

What the Dems did to Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh is but a taste of things to come for the person nominated to replace Ginsburg.

Ginsburg in statement before her death said she wished not to be replaced until next president is sworn in
By Tal Axelrod - 09/18/20 08:12 PM EDT

The late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said days before her death that her "most fervent wish" was that she not be replaced on the high court until a new president is sworn into the White House.

"My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed," Ginsburg dictated in a statement to her granddaughter that was obtained by NPR.

Ginsburg died Friday due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer at the age of 87. The second woman appointed to the high court, she served as a justice for over 27 years.

Her death will instantly spark a partisan fight over the vacancy on the bench.

Republicans infamously blocked President Obama’s Supreme Court pick from receiving a confirmation hearing after Justice Antonin Scalia died in 2016, the year of the last presidential election. GOP lawmakers maintained that a Supreme Court vacancy should not be filled the same year as a presidential race.

However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has maintained that he would fill a 2020 Supreme Court vacancy. He has said that the situation this year would be different than that in 2016 because in 2020 the White House and Senate are held by the same party.

Ok, you Never Trumpers, now you know what's at stake.

[andy58-in-nh]

What the Dems did to Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh is but a taste of things to come for the person nominated to replace Ginsburg.

NYT: Ginsburg's yet-to-be-named replacement has already been "credibly accused" of gang rape, according to four unnamed sources...

Well that goes for Repubs too!
