Yeah and President Trump told him right away what he thought of it.

She thought it would be awesomely historic to be replaced by the first woman justice appointed by a woman president, and all her deepstate friends assured her that Hillary’s election was fait accompli. Then Trump monkeywrenched everything.

She won’t retire; she’ll die in office, like a good democrat. But her aides will continue all of her work, as they have been doing the past 10 years, and nobody will report the death.

“We shouldn’t be in this position where the future of certain policies turn on whether this old woman is healthy or not,”

Everyone on the left is so worried about RBG's health, nobody is going to notice when the Grim Reaper sneaks up on 80-year old Stephen Breyer.

“She wasn’t recently in the hospital because of cancer. She was because she broke her rips when she fell.”

I knew that, I was just “speculating” that it could possibly recur and that it might be more “successful” the third time. I hate to wish another human being any ill will, but she’s done so much damage to our Constitution, that I will allow myself an exception in her case.

Both of them could go and it would be o.k. with me!

My “Order of Excellence!”

#1, Ginsberg (1933)
#2 Breyer (1938)
#3 Sotomayor (1954)
#4 Roberts (1955) (if he left before Sotomayor, fine)
#5 Thomas (1948) (to make sure we keep the seat for 30 more years)
#6 Alito (1950) (to make sure we keep the seat for 30 more years)
#7 Kagan (1960)

Not true. Libs made that clear in the past over justices they despised.

The blackmailed Roberts is worse than Ginsburg.

He knows separation of powers but rewrote legislation from the bench.

I just cant see how he looks in the mirror.

Don’t worry Ruth, when you are gone John Roberts will step into your shoes as a liberal vote.

I’m not completely understanding the Left’s concerns over abortion coming before a doggedly Constitutional SCOTUS.

After all, for 30 years they’ve insisted it’s Constitutional.

Another case will clinch it for all time.

” Roberts is Kennedy’s replacement. “
Huh?
He means that Kennedy was the swing justice, the 5th vote if the Democrats are going to win on an issue . . . and now that is Roberts. Were RBG to leave the bench, it’s far from clear who would be considered “the swing vote,” since it would take Roberts (in the poster’s telling) and then a fifth vote on top of that. And victories for the anti-constitutionalists would become much less frequent.

I’d like to know what Roberts thinks of this article, considering he doesn’t appear to notice any difference in whether the judges are appointed by Democrats or Republicans.

She was going to hand appointment of her seat off to the first woman president, which was to be Clinton.

Exactly!

Given the ABSOLUTE CERTITUDE that Hillary Clinton would be elected in 2016, I imagine RBG wanted the “first woman president” to name her replacement. Who knew? What Happened (to coin a phrase)?
