I was researching this very thing last night and made a thing today.

Sweet
In now. Woke up in Festival.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg could have casually retired at 80 yrs old under Obama and been replaced by an ultra progressive in their 40s... but she chose not to. That was, without doubt, the most pro-America decision she has made.
It’s not Trump’s fault that he gets the opportunity to push through a new justice.
On November 21, 2013, democrap Senate majority leader Harry Reid, overrode the filibuster of a nomination with a simple majority vote to change the rules for all but Scotus nominees, which was the most pro-America thing he ever did. In April 2017 Mitch McConnell extended the rule for Supreme Court nominees to be approved by a simple majority vote.
It’s not Trump’s fault that the democraps changed the rules and the Republicans went along with it. One wonders if Cocaine Mitch would have had to cojones to do so had Harry Reid not laid the groundwork.
Ya, I'd say so. See this clock decode and this rally decode.
Here’s a little secret: It’s senate tradition that if a sitting senator is nominated for SCOTUS, hearings are waived & it goes straight to a floor vote. PDJT named 3 senators on his new 20. He could potentially nominated Mike Lee on Mon & be confirmed Tue before anyone’s blinked— Brian Cartwright (@blcartwright) September 19, 2020

RIP to the more than 30 million innocent babies that have been murdered during the decades that Ruth Bader Ginsburg defended pro-abortion laws. With
@realDonaldTrump
nominating a replacement that values human life, generations of unborn children have a chance to live.
from 3d3n:
Never forget that former Sen Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) instituted the original rule changes that will allow Trump to replace RBG.
Never forget Trump forced him into “retirement” submission in March 2018 at the peak of his power. Probably because of the [LV] attack.
The reason she did not retire before the end of Obama's presidency was because her seat was being saved for Loretta Lynch.
LL was to be rewarded for stopping the investigation into Hillary in 2016. (tarmac meeting)
Scalia's seat was to be given to Garland, they wanted to wait for a year or so and then have RGB retire, delaying the LL appointment so it was not so obvious what they were doing.
“LL was to be rewarded for stopping the investigation into Hillary in 2016. (tarmac meeting)”
I had forgotten all about that. You’re right!!
If not Lee, Cruz?
Just “war gaming” on my part.
I still think the new list identified the persons Trump prefers to be his nominee’s sponsors.
Especially the new entries on the list.
Who chooses the nominee’s sponsors, BTW?
Anyone know? (Mitchy Mack?)

WOW, that’s racist!
That’s a reasonable although unprovable theory.
I also think RBG adamantly did not want to retire, she’s said so many times and my impression of her personality is that she would not have taken kindly to being told what to do. It may well be that she didn’t give a crap what Obama, Lynch or anyone else wanted because SHE wanted to be the one making those Scotus decisions, not someone else.
Try to imaging the equivalent Republican party bosses (like family) trying to push Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas to retire early so they could reward some Republican political hack with their seat. They’ve have told them where to go and what to do when they got there.
Geez, I was trying to say “Imagine...like the BUSH family...”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sure the wraiths were impressed.
Been busy. Wasn’t in before fiddy! But, I have been doing research, and found Justice Ginsberg’s last tweet.
Justice RBG, “I have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.”
