How things will go down if Ginsburg leaves the SCOTUS
American Thinker ^ | 20 Jan, 2019 | Steve Grammatico

Posted on 01/20/2019 6:13:43 PM PST by MtnClimber

Mueller, the wall impasse, the shutdown, the "postponement" of the SOTU – all are skirmishes in the undeclared war on President Trump waged by Democrats, the Deep State, and the compliant media. A decisive battle will be enjoined if Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies or resigns this year.

Nothing scares the left more than the prospect of Trump filling another seat on the SCOTUS with a young, fire-breathing constitutionalist who would join with Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh to form a conservative bloc for the ages.

Pelosi and Schumer are praying that Justice Ginsburg survives and remains on the bench until January 1, 2020, when their concern for her well-being ceases. They know that Senate majority leader McConnell could not persuade his entire caucus to abandon the principle he championed in 2016 that a nomination to the Supreme Court in a presidential election year is inappropriate.

Here's how it may go if RBG vacates the bench or the Earth soon, as seems likely: Pelosi will immediately schedule a vote to launch a formal impeachment inquiry, pre-empting the president's announcement of his choice to fill Ginsburg's seat. It will pass along partisan lines, swamping other news. Next, the House Judiciary Committee (Jerrold Nadler, chair) will draw up charges against the president. Eventually, the committee will vote out articles of impeachment. At some point after this, the entire House votes on the articles. Trump is impeached.

Exactly. If Trump appoints her successor, she won’t be alive to see it.

What makes you think it’s an elevator for RBG?

An empty elevator shaft worked just fine in LA Law.

He makes one very good point. The average civics illiterate American can’t explain the difference between impeachment and conviction. Nor do they understand impeachment is not for getting rid of political opponents.

Impeachent means nothing.

Whether or not the charges are removeable charges are an issue, and if the senate does that the people of this country go to war with the uniparty and the rabid unamerican socialists infecting us, literally.

If they are going to impeach him for replacing RBG, I’d like Justice Thomas to retire shortly after she dies, so that President Trump can replace two more.

My guess is part of Trumps strategy is trying to stroke out Chuckie and Nanzi.

She will stay on the bench until sometime in 2020 when Trump can’t do anything in an election year even if they have to use another rod to keep her propped up.

Somebody, somewhere has got something on Roberts. That’s pretty obvious. Might be something pertaining to his adopted kids. Tragic.

Ever since Roberts read his nonsensical Obamacare decision, I've thought he's either being blackmailed or threatened in some other way. His kids' adoption wasn't on the up and up, but that's been out there since he was first nominated. Plus the statute of limitations would have long expired on that, and at this point I don't think anyone would care about it.

“...Pelosi may die to. She does not look too healthy....”
From your keyboard to the Grim Reaper.
The vile Botoxian looks like one of the zombies out of The Walking Dead. When she croaks, America will be a better place. Same goes for old cabbage and urine stench skank called Hitlery.

Not to mention the adoptions aren’t against any American law. Without demands from the Irish government, there was never a reason for Roberts’ concern.

.………...I think we’re seeing right now a standoff. The Pelosi/Schumer Democrats have been told that THOUSANDS of arrests are on the cusp of happening BUT MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, one or two arrests can be foregone.

I don’t think the Dems stand a chance on what Trump is about to unload on them.

Grammatico misses the target on this one.

The ONLY good thing about this mess is that my husband thought I was nuts, and now he knows I was right... things are really screwed up in USA and news is so fake and the deep state is so corrupt and democrats do not care about you or me or anyone else. They only care about their power and control. Like Herrod.... They would be more than happy to kill anyone who stands in their way. Evil!

If there’s an opening any time before the next election, the next appointed Supreme Court justice will be an originalist on the Second Amendment with recorded court opinions to prove it. He won’t be a politically correct choice for appeasing the manhaters and other social perverts. The Senate will vote at least 53-47 to confirm him, and probably more than that.
