Scalia was murdered. Nothing was ever done about this crime.

Therefore, nothing is out of bounds for these people.

I don't know for sure that Scalia was murdered but I would not be surprised if that turned out to be true. His death nearly gave Obama a chance to replace a conservative justice with a leftist (Garland has a moderate demeanor but would have been a consistent vote for the leftist bloc on the Court).

Ginsburg's death may give Trump a chance to turn what had been a "progressive" seat on the Court into a conservative, constitutionalist seat.

If the new justice is not confirmed in 2020 and Trump is re-elected, but the Democrats gain control of the Senate, that may force Trump to settle for less than his most-preferred person to replace Ginsburg.

“Scalia was murdered.
Therefore, nothing is out of bounds for these people.”

Have always thought that also. Makes me concerned about the safety of Trump and family and some senators.

Scalia was murdered. Nothing was ever done about this crime.

But it did seem like the Dems knew they were found out. They quit pushing for a quick replacement like they probably intended.

Yup, what is far more likely is if Dems ever steal their way back into power a few conservative justices mysteriously come to a bad end.

The Marxists would actually do such a thing.
