Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg hoped for a different outcome in last week’s election, but she made plain Monday that she accepts that Donald Trump will fill the Supreme Court’s 9-month-old vacancy.
The 83-year-old justice said the most immediate impact on the court of Trump’s 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. …

who died and asked her to be the PIO for the USSC?
shows how stupid and selfish she is that she didn’t retire 18 months ago.
Well now I can sleep knowing that Captain Obvious/Ms. Crypt Keeper has now weighed in.
President Trump will make SCOTUS GREAT AGAIN!!!
Thanks President Trump!!!!
She can retire and we can have 2 new USSC justices.
Unless the dems put her on life support tomorrow, trump will fill her SCOTUS vacancy, too.
The old baby killing bitch has her daughter supply her dinner and claims she only sleeps 4 hours a night unless at bench or at wine.Power hungry baby killer.What prayer doesn’t cure old age does.BE GONE.
She made a big mistake staying on.
How about Judge Roy Moore? He’d be great!!!
Will be 72 years old in 2 months. We need someone considerably younger than that.
Liberal and Socialist minds will implode, if Judge Roy Moore is nominated. The firestorm will be magnificent to see.
************************
No, 72 years old in 2 more months. I want a young conservative in that seat. Possibly for forty years.
What about Ted Cruz?
Judge Moore would be a perfect choice!
******************************
72 years old in two more months. How about a conservative who is 40? he/she could serve for 4 decades.
I thought she was announcing her own soon-to-be retirement. Can she hang on until she’s 87?
Yes I do. Hey, Reagan picked Sandra Day O’Connor.
I would suggest his advisors really let him down there, but the SCOTUS is an unusual place. People go there and behave differently than they did in other court settings.
You don’t always know what you’re going to get. You hope you’re lucky.
On paper Roberts seemed to look good. And then...
“It’s a tax Lucy!” Idiot. (not you)
Yep, she had eight years to make way for her replacement.
Who do you think will keel over first, she or Hillary?
I saw her at the opening performance of the Washington National Opera season in DC in 2009 (at the time of the 9-11 marches.) She looked in her element at the hoity-toity affair. Credit her love of fawning adulation, not wanting to retire during Obama’s eight years, for giving us the opportunity to replace her.
“People go there and behave differently than they did in other court settings.”

Hopefully Trump will pack the SC with as many young conservatives as possible.
“What about Ted Cruz?”

Might be an opening for a dishwasher at the SC mess hall.
Probably caused her great grief to have to admit it and to recognize that Trump will be President.
Why isn’t she announcing her retirement? She said she’d quit if Trump got elected.
