Ruth Bader Ginsburg makes her mark even after death
By Howard J. Warner
The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg Friday has increased the ferocity of the political divide facing the citizenry. For many generations, the progressive left has used the courts to make changes to American society that it could not enact through the legislative process. Presidents on the left have used executive orders to move political situations toward their preferred political outcomes regarding health care, immigration policy, and economic regulations. No amount of compromise or success satisfies the national Democrats and their media supporters. Their goal is to exercise complete control over the political apparatus.
The president announced on Monday that he would nominate a woman either Friday or Saturday, after the funeral service for RBG, out of respect for her and her family. Ginsburg has become the most important issue among Democrats for the 2020 election, eclipsing the coronavirus. Fundraising for the Biden campaign has accelerated with over $50 million raised in three days. In the three days since the death of RBG, scarcely any mention of the pandemic has been noticed. The focus is upon the Senate in an effort to stop the "advice and consent" process that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has indicated will proceed once a nomination is delivered.
Generally, it has taken about 60 days from nomination to final vote for a Supreme Court nominee. But, back in 1789, the same day that George Washington signed the Judiciary Act that allowed for six justices, Washington submitted all his nominees, who were confirmed two days later. The size of the Court has varied from a low of five to a high of ten. The latest threat by Democrats to use all the resources after they secure the majority in the Senate is telling. They will use them regardless of the outcome of any Court nomination. They have threatened to make D.C. and Puerto Rico each a state to ensure a permanent Democratic majority in the Senate. They have also threatened to pack the Court, as had Franklin Roosevelt, which was rejected by his own party.
