Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg hoped for a different outcome in last weeks election, but she made plain Monday that she accepts that Donald Trump will fill the Supreme Courts 9-month-old vacancy.
The 83-year-old justice said the most immediate impact on the court of Trumps election would be to fill the seat that Justice Antonin Scalia occupied until his death in February. President Trump will fill it, Ginsburg said in a question-and-answer session at a meeting of the Jewish Federations of North America in a Washington ballroom.
Ginsburg had criticized Trump in interviews last summer with The Associated Press and other news organizations, saying she did not want to consider the possibility that Trump could be elected. She apologized for her remarks soon thereafter.

New Zealand awaits you, Madame Justice. You can even get Sean Hannity to pay for your flight.

Good point . . . so lets find a young Judge Roy Moore!That would probably be Bill Pryor (even though he had to remove Judge Moore from the bench as he was the Alabama Attorney General at that time).
So First Pick: Ted Cruz
Second Pick (Ruth's seat): Bill Pryor.

And Sotomayor is diabetic. It’s like having a full-time job. She’s 62.

I want Trump to fill HER vacancy. The sooner the better. Good grief she is 83.

Hopefully you’re next, Ruthie.
