She is being consistent. She disregarded the U.S. constitution throughout her judicial career and substituted her own wishes.
On her death bed, RBG allegedly said her “most fervent wish” was to not be replaced until “a new president is installed.”
Nothing about saving her immortal soul.
Well guess what, Ruthie....after Donald gets reelected in a landslide, he’d be the one replacing you.
Doesn’t the spouse inherit the role? We’ve seen that happen with dead politicians on the ballot.
If she was that et up with the cancer it is unlikely that she said anything.
However in the years leading up to her death she probably uttered her total contempt for this president and her absolute disgust that he’d likely appoint her replacement.
If her words are to be taken literally, that means if Trump is re-elected, her seat should remain vacant for 4 more years to honor her final wishes.
If Democrats had their way, they would claim a POTUS could not appoint a SCOTUS replacement after the mid-terms.
It is silly and childish....typical socialist, because they would NEVER abide by such rules if they had power.
Did Democrats hesitate to impeach Trump because it was an election year?
There is your answer.
Someone on another thread made this observation:
FoxNews reported that Ginsburg supposedly told her granddaughter that it was her last wish that her seat not be filled by this President. If so, it really puts the LIE to chief justice ROBERTS’ assertion that there are no Democrat Justices and no Republican Justices.
If Trump fills the seat, they will not be involved in any election dispute. I predict they will recuse themselves, depending on the case.
I’m hearing a lot about RBG’s “legacy as a trailblazer” and similar. How well known was she before Clinton appointed her? Her entire fame is built around being the liberal justice most likely to die while Trump is President. In 2008, how many people even knew who she was?
Democrats expect their votes to count even more once they’re dead!
The Supreme Court seat belongs to the people, not to the appointed judge. RBG forgot that a long time ago. Her preferences mean zero.
No they won’t. Democrats might whine about it, but they wouldn’t recuse.
This is really so SIMPLE. We should simply say to Dems, “What would you do in the same situation? Of course! That’s what we are going to do.”
Why should there be 2 different standards?
Is she so stupid that she doesn’t KNOW how the process works?
When facing my own demise my fervent wish was that my children and their families follow Jesus. Never thought about work.
“”””Doesn’t the spouse inherit the role? We’ve seen that happen with dead politicians on the ballot.”””””
John McCain thought he owned his seat just like many others.
“Equally important, a 6-3 constitutionalist majority on the Court would serve as a bullwark for the survival of the Republic.”
The court would be 5-4 constitutionalist because Roberts can NOT be relied upon to save the Republic.
Especially when you looked the other way when there was a high level conspiracy to undermine the duly elected POTUS.
Eloquently stated!
