If RBG's deathbed words are to be taken literally (IF she actually said them), that means WHEN
Trump is re-elected, her seat should remain vacant for 4 more years to honor her final wishes.

Nice catch.

Good point.......she could not have said what is being attributed to her.....
b/c according to her admirers she was very smart and must know the rules for replacement.

The game plan according to the cool one....the "prescient" Obama......
Pres Bill appointed her.....a Pres Hillary would name her replacement.

The dumb Halfrican never counted on a Pres Trump getting to name RBG's replacement.

Schadenfreud.

As ‘the spouse’ has also died (from cancer), he is unavailable for comment. However, her daughter would
agree to fill her shoes.

If Trump fills the seat, they will not be involved in any election dispute. I predict they will recuse themselves, depending on the case.

Why? And who's the "they" ... are you suggesting all three Trump appointments would recuse themselves?

This makes no sense.

NYT IN AN INTERVIEW ASKED RUTH B GINSBURG: “IF THE SENATE HAD AN OBLIGATION TO CONSIDE R OBAMA SUPREME COURT NOMINEE IN AN ELECTION YEAR.
GINSBURG SAID: “THAT’S THEIR JOB. THERE’S NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION THAT SAYS THAT THE PRESIDENT’S STOPS BEING PRESIDENT IN HIS LAST YEAR.”

I think these “wishes”are another hoax. She knew that just saying something on your deathbed was not binding in law. I watched a video of her and Scalia yesterday and I believe ,although I don’t like her policies, that she respected the constitution .

I think the last wishes are a hoax too for the same reason.

"Depraved Democrats like Gerrold Nadler and Joseph Kennedy are now threatening to “pack the court”

This is libberish for "we plan to pack the court regardess of who is selected."

David Blackmon gave us a good reference, and some relevant phrases and quotes there! “The Senate debated Obama’s nomination, and refused to give its consent.”

Oh we knew her! Conservatives knew this election - and the 2016 election - was always about the Supreme Court selections.

I must confess though - I did NOT expect Trump’s economic successes, his foreign policy and Peace successes, and his military/infrastructure successes! I also did not expect the depth and depravity of the Deep State.
And, to remain honest, I was also taken in by Bush’s apparent conservatism when he ran in 2000.

RBG was too devoted to the law to ask for special privilege because she was an 'elite' - (and on her death bed no less.) I don't believe RBG made the request - I believe her granddaughter is lying.

I just don’t believe that a person on death bed with family around, would think of such a thing.

I do know that great majority of dims and all Leftists lie and hurt people.

So the daughter lied.
