Just when you thought 2020 couldn't get any crazier, Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg suddenly departs this world for, hopefully, a better one.
You have to respect that anyone strong, smart, and principled enough to serve on the Supreme Court. Supreme Court justices carry a heavy burden and do so for decades longer than presidents. The Notorious RBG, as she was called, was a saint to all Democrats and a heroine to women around the world. Her colleagues called her brilliant. Can't beat that.
Still, many Americans, especially Catholics, had a problem with Justice Ginsburg's staunch support for abortion. Abortion became "legal" via a Supreme Court ruling, not by virtue of the Legislature. As such, abortion advocates have always had nightmares about the Court flipping so far right that it directs Congress to pass the appropriate laws regarding abortion, thereby giving the people a voice — the way it should have been done in the first place.
Let's cut to the chase.
With the passing of Justice Ginsburg, the Dems' worst nightmare has now occurred. Their dream of unfettered abortion is in peril. Pending the wildest, nastiest Senate confirmation fight in recent history — which, after Kavanaugh, is saying a lot — the Notorious RBG's going to be replaced by the Heavenly ACB.
Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a devout Catholic who believes that life begins at conception. She's the mother of seven children, one of them special needs, two of them adopted. Can't get more pro-life than that.
And for being pro-life, Judge Barrett's going to get accused, defamed, roasted, and slandered. There will be no line of attack too low for Democrats and their minions in the press. Count on multiple pretend scandals, racy tidbits from shady former friends, unsubstantiated wrongdoing according to multiple anonymous sources.

HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT IF TRUMP NOMINATES AMY CONEY BARRETT ( WE CAN USE THE ABBREVIATION: ACB ):
You saw what the Democrats and the press did to Justice Kavanaugh. They’re planning worse for Judge Barrett.
Because she believes that unborn babies should be protected.
Because she believes that adoption is a worthy choice.
Because she believes in the teachings of Christ.
Because she believes in the Constitution as written.
Because, as a conservative, she believes in our country.
For all this, Amy Coney Barrett will be grievously abused by her political opponents and the grubby mainstream media. It’s going to get seriously ugly.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg wasn’t all that bad , she did vacate the seat
We have no idea who Trump will pick and Nancy already wants to Impeach him/her ,LOL
And to avoid the political hijinks of the last two hearings the Senate will just vote.
While a Republican was president, which was more than David Souter could do.
If it’s ACB, it will be quite a test for Democrats. Attacking her will play very poorly with voters, but I doubt the Dems can help themselves. That’s the real reason for the full court press to not move until next year on a justice, is Dems know they are in a bad spot here and it could alter the election result.
ACB already had Senate confirmation hearings in 2017.
Announce her nomination on Thursday (so the libs can mourn RBG) and hold a Senate floor vote the following Tuesday.
This will completely demoralize the Left and kill the protests.
‘Mostly peaceful riots’... ‘Mostly peaceful arson’
These quotes from Barrett on abortion do not fill me with optimism about how she would rule as a justice. My guess is that she would go squishy::
She also remarked that it was “very unlikely” the court would overturn the core of Roe v. Wade: “The fundamental element, that the woman has a right to choose abortion, will probably stand. The controversy right now is about funding. It’s a question of whether abortions will be publicly or privately funded.”[55][56]
Anybody still think she's going to sign a 4th Covid aid bill?
If I were Trump I'd tell the public "I'm ignoring this infantile distraction".
That is far too sensible for republicants to do it thusly.
RE: “The fundamental element, that the woman has a right to choose abortion, will probably stand. The controversy right now is about funding. It’s a question of whether abortions will be publicly or privately funded.”
Let’s go with DEFUNDING abortion at the Federal Level first (which I’m sure ACB will decide for ). We’re not going to win this battle in one big bang, just as the left didn’t win theirs in one big bang.
RE: Ruth Bader Ginsburg wasn’t all that bad , she did vacate the seat
GOD had to forcibly take her away! Otherwise, she’d stay there even if she had to decide from her hospital bed.
Busy woman. Seems to have a lot on her plate.
Mitch should just schedule the vote and note the Senate has already vetted her.”
Exactly, Mitch can cut them outflank them. I just don’t know if Mitch can pull it off. It is extremely important to get this done and get RBG’S replacement removed as a campaign issue. Yes the rats com use the fact that is was done as an issue but her replacement will be moot. It may even demoralize the rat base.
What does she believe about the 2nd amendment?
