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.

One thing that’s interesting is that Kamala is on the judiciary committee. A long drawn out hearing keeps her planted in DC. Gee, that’s a shame.
It was mentioned in another thread, but Trump should nominate a highly qualified black female conservative judge. The Dems will tie themselves in knots trying to attack her without appearing like the racists that they are.
Lisa Mckowshits is up for re-election is 2022.
Rejecting 2 of Trump’s Supreme court picks would not be a good record for her to run on. In fact, I think it would be fatal.
No I’m not sure, however the NYT writes: “All it takes now is a majority vote to confirm judicial nominees.”
And since it’s in the NYT it must be true.
Travis, can you post a quick summary? Gracias.
Damn shame Janice Rogers Brown is 71.
Where are the calls about the hypocrisy of the the Democrats who supported the nomination of Garland?
I am reminded of something my mom used to tell us to remember in some circumstances: If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything. O.K. Mom, I hear you.
The post-election mass-mail-in-ballot-stuffing plan called Operation Red Mirage was going to wind up at the SCOTUS, for certain.
With RBG gone, SCOTUS is now 4-4. Roberts will never side with the libs to remove Trump based on bogus mail-in ballots.
With RBG there was a chance Roberts might have flipped to the libs for a 5-4 anti-Trump outcome.
He can’t leave the outcome 4-4, it will demand a conclusive vote. Roberts will not side with the Rats to remove Trump based on post-election bogus ballots.
Operation Red Mirage is dead.
TRUTH is that the FAR LEFT on social media has OUTED themselves as HATERS, BIGOTS, Jew-HATERS, FOOLS in the public view & “denizens of the LEFTIST clown car”.
(I invite anyone who doubts that to go read what the LEFTIST BIGOTS are saying on the “usual leftist sites”. - ONE of the MILDER comments by a BLM “spokesman” was, “Ruth Ginzburg was nothing more than ‘a DIRTY little JEW bitch’.”)
In 2020 the only “class” that the MORON LEFT has is LOW CLASS & TRASHY.
Personally, the HATEFUL/ANTISEMITIC comments about the passing of Justice Ginzburg by “the LEFTIST loony fringe” make me GAG.
I also note that I have seen not even ONE comment, on any GOP or RIGHTIST website, by a conservative poster, that was NOT respectful, prayerful and/or was just condolences offered to Justice Ginzburg’s family & friends.
Yours, TMN78247
Muchas gracias de nuevo.
I don’t know if that theory is correct, but Dr. Turley seems pretty convinced.
She did not want to give Mullah Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro (piss be upon him) her resignation and the appointment. She was saving it for 'illary.
It takes 51.
This seems appropriate at this time:
Ding-dong! The Witch is dead
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding-dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up you sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead
She’s gone where the goblins go
Below, below, below
Yo-ho, let’s open up and sing and ring the bells out
Ding-dong’s the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!
It makes sense... of course, hypothetically it assumes the continued presence of four conservative justices on the court... y’know what I mean...
Stopped counting how many times the story has already been posted.
Thanks, this is an unusually good and informative article, almost like a white paper on SCOTUS appointments in an election year.
50 plus the Pro Tempore of the Senate to cast the deciding vote? That is what I thought. It needed clarification. Thanks!
