Ginsburg In 2016: ‘Nothing In The Constitution’ Prevents Final Year SCOTUS Picks
Daily Caller, Sep 19, 2020

The late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2016 said “nothing in the Constitution” prevents a president from nominating to fill a court seat.

Ginsburg was reacting to the upcoming fight over a replacement for her friend and colleague Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away. Then-President Barack Obama had nominated Judge Merrick Garland to fill Scalia’s seat only to be denied a Senate hearing by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

“I think he is about as well qualified as any nominee to this court,” Ginsburg said of Garland, according to a July 2016 report from The New York Times. “Super bright and very nice, very easy to deal with. And super prepared. He would be a great colleague.”

The Times called her answer “immediate” when asked if the “Senate had an obligation to assess Judge Garland’s qualifications.”

“That’s their job,” Ginsburg told the outlet then. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being president in his last year.”

Modern History?   That was Profound!  Hell, all this time I thought we in the Palaeolithic Era, or the Neolithic Era of history.

Fox’s @JesseBWatters on the political battle over Ginsburg replacement: “The Democrats have no credibility here. Remember what they did to Kavanaugh? Buck up and do your job, Republicans. If you don’t, voters will never forget.”
