WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday of “complications of metastatic pancreas cancer,” the Supreme Court announced....
Democrats say this is hairsplitting hypocrisy that damages the legitimacy of the court. But they may have little practical power to stop a third Trump nominee after changes in Senate rules on filibusters on nominations. All it takes now is a majority vote to confirm judicial nominees.....
During the Obama administration, some liberals urged Justice Ginsburg to step down so that President Barack Obama could name her successor. She rejected the advice.
She was critical of Mr. Trump during the 2016 campaign, and he responded that “her mind is shot” and said she should resign. She later said she had made a mistake in publicly commenting on a candidate and promised to be more “circumspect” in the future.

Since all it takes is a majority the RINOs that say they will not approve a Trump nominee should abstain instead of voting against.
Her last wish was to ‘not be replaced until a new president is installed’. Sorry, we’re not waiting 4 1/2 years.
Go for the Gold!
Go for the Gold!
Morons at the NYT are facing reality a little early.
BLM or Dems cannor riot over Trump appointing a replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg and a vote following because despite what Biden said, Obama’s nominee was not brought to a vote because no president had his nominee approved with an opposition party in the senate since the 1800’s and Republicans controlled the Senate in 2016. That is not currently the case as the President and majority senate are now of the same party.
And don’t we have Harry Reid to thank?
He’s the one who changed the rules.
McConnell: I Will Fill Ginsburg’s Seat With Trump’s Nominee

Yay!
Wow. What a great way to wake up in hunt camp. I know it’s evil but I will be celebrating this. Now for Trump to confirm a new justice before re-election!
I liked RBG better when she was on “Laugh-In.” Her “Gladys and Tyrone” sketches with Arte Johnson were hilarious.
BTW this Senate vote isn’t a slam-dunk, with traitors like Romney there to sabotage things ...
Murkowski & Collins have already said they probably wouldn’t approve Amy Coney Barrett, and you know Big Media will crank up the intimidation to maximum
next month will be real interesting
Cases await in October - get to work or get replaced.
Sounds very selfish and egocentric of her...
If Trump does not send forth a nominee ASAP, he loses...
If any RINO up for re-election this cycle blocks the nominee, he/she loses...
If any RINO up for re-election next cycle blocks the nominee, he/she will get a strong primary challenge, then loses...
If Mitch McConnell does not get this done by November 3rd, he loses the Senate and his Leadership...
Fight these Marxists...Push this through and the Country wins!
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is DEAD and So is the Democrats’ HOPES at STEALING the ELECTION!!!

Are you sure about that? I thought it took 50 votes, but perhaps some of the scholars out there can educate us.
Now I’m waiting for the concern trolls to show up.
Last night the boo hoo media was saying Trump would announce the nominee in days.
ABC’S little Steffie was also facing reality. Much sooner than I thought he would.
Trump will get this done. Energizing some wafflers on our side, particularly some religious wafflers worried about Trump’s “morals.”
Good timing Ruthie, thanks.
We all need those “Weekend At Bernie’s” memes for the Joe Biden campaign now.
LMAO. We’ll never see another one like Trump in five lifetimes, folks.
