The news that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was treated for pancreatic cancer raised the possibility of a Supreme Court opening within the next year.
The 86-year-old Ginsburg's health has been declining for years, to where the last year has felt like a bad remake of the 1989 Weekend at Bernie's movie. Instead of enjoying her golden years in retirement, Ginsburg has been propped up and hidden in the hopes of holding the seat until a Democrat is elected.
The always elegant Michael Moore, who previously placed a Ginsburg doll atop a Christmas tree, summed up the Democrat zeitgeist when he tweeted, "HOLYMOTHEROFRBG!! EVERYBODY, RIGHT THIS SECOND, JOIN A MOVEMENT, CAMPAIGN, GRASS ROOTS GROUP -WHATEVER - AND WORK NONSTOP BTWN RIGHT NOW & NOV 2020!"
The Left is already manning the barricades. The resulting hearing will make the Brett Kavanaugh fiasco, a dark moment in U.S. history, look like a charming affair. In the event that President Donald Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett, as many conservatives hope, this hearing will be a preview of the Apocalypse.
The rise of hatred on the Left, aided by years of persistent media bias and leftist propaganda, has created a rolling tidal wave of hate ready to crash on shore in violence. The two most likely triggering events that would cause that crash are the re-election of President Trump and the next opening on the Supreme Court, particularly to fill Ginsburg's seat. It's an increasingly good bet that the latter will come first.
The Democrats are telegraphing they will go scorched earth to fight Barrett, and Senator Chuck Schumer will appeal to President Trump to prevent her nomination. Trump should politely decline.

RE: Are you referring to the Biden Rule? I thought I read elsewhere that that was out the window as the Dems dont have the WH And the Senate?
Yes, that’s what I’m referring to. Only the GOP controlled Senate can stop the Dems ( but then, we are threading on a thin line here what with Trump haters like Mitt Romney ).
The Democrats are always bracing for war. The problem is when they war with Republicans, the Democrats always win.
This will get real ugly, real fast. As usual, our side will be caught flat-footed and will be surprised by the psychotic vitriol of the left-wing goon mobs.
And, as usual, the MSM will serve as their cheerleaders and publicity department.
BTW, whats to stop the Dems from doing what the GOP did when Antonin Scalia passed away with respect to Merrick Garland?
The Dems didn’t have the Senate, that’s the only reason Merrick Garland is not on the court.
If the Dems had the Senate at the time i’m willing to bet we would have seen someone much worse than Garland nominated.
RBG has nine lives.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she outlived me.
Time will tell.
Of course.
Barring that, they'll just make up something horrible, and the Fake News will exclaim it.
The Dems don't currently control the Senate, and from what I've heard, 2020 doesn't look any better for them.
“Gotta be Cruz.”
R U KIDDING ME?
He has ZERO qualifications. He has ZERO credibility. (we couldn’t trust him).
Keep the Cubanadian in the Senate. I like the beard.
Agreed. I like Cruz in the Senate. Mt fear if he left would be Senator Beto.
With so many RINOs, it may be much ado about nothing. Romney, Murkowski, Collins, who else?
IMO all the Cruz discussion is a waste of time. Trump will pick from his list. Cruz isn’t on his list. The list has names on it that have the highest ratings and qualifications from the ACU if I recall. Not saying anything good or bad about Cruz but why do people seems to continue to promote him over Trumps list?
Gotta be Cruz.

No way.
He thinks Anwar Al-Awlaki’s kids, born in Yemen to one US citizen parent, are natural born citizens eligible to be President.
(if he is, they are)
Her adopted kids. You really think she will be pro voter ID laws?
I would suggest she will be a typical virtue signaling nitwit on the bench.
P
Roe is a cancer that must be excised. It is pure judicial invention. Apart from the issue of abortion, the left’s attachment to Roe means that the left is committed to the “make it up as you go along” school of constitutional interpretation, and to judicial supremacy.
Any wagers on how much of a sexual predator the next nominee will be? My guess is they will be a step above Jeffery Epstein on the scale.
McConnell opted to wait until after the election.
Given that the entire political universe believed it was going to be a Hillary landslide, its difficult to accuse Mitch of stacking the deck.
the Brett Kavanaugh fiasco, a dark moment in U.S. history...
Well, it was a fiasco for the democrats but a bright
moment for the Constitution.
I pray that the woman, probably Barrett, will have the stamina and fortitude shown by Kavanaugh. In the committee proceedings she will be called a whore and a sadist and a white supremacist and worse things in screeches and leftist women will cry and sob about her mistreatment of them had she ever met them.
