This is idiotic.

Time is on Trump’s side. This is pissing away a conservative justice.

I like him but everything is not a business deal or should be treated that way. Where is the upside for conservatives, how do we end up better with this?

Let the commie bitch die shortly and replace her with a genuine conservative originalist.

I hope to hell this is just stupid disinformation.

Garland is of the same leftist bent as the gang of four. He would be Ruth Buzzy for another couple of decades.

Yup. Andmits affected her ability to prevent herself from telling the truth.

She had some eye opening comments about abortion and Roe come out after chemo brain censored her ability to omit telling the truth about her views on it.

Well, in his defense she is in her late 60s. He may be eyeballing younger candidates for maximum effectiveness.

I think Trump should make a deal that if she dozes off again, she should be replaced. But we’re not that creative in American Politics , are we?

This better be fake news, because this is the sort of "dealing" that created the swamp in the first place.

Me? I'd rather hear it from Trump, before I start looking around for whomever will go the distance.

Whatever kept me supporting Trump for two years is definitely open to change.

I'd rather have indefinite gridlock to considering Garland, or any other justice "acceptable" to the Soros/Clinton/GOPe.

Period.

This deal is nonsense. Trump needs to make whatever legislative deal with the RINOS to get to 51 votes. He should select a nominee off his advertised list.

The judge replacing RBG could be the key to saving the Constitution. Why in the world would Trump, after all the previous battles, replace RBG with RBG-Lite?

What a stupid suggestion. Why am I even joining the discussion on this insane idea?

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha. I agree 100%...or how about this: McConnell says “Sure, we’ll vote. And they reject Garland.”

Garland would be the worst judge appointed in a century, easily.

Trump needs to sit down and just relax; Ruthie will crash soon.

NOT a brilliant plan!

Here's a brilliant plan: Replace Ginsburg with a justice even more conservative than Gorsuch.

Not only should President Trump fill Ginsberg’s seat with a conservative, but all conservatives should retire so that President Trump can put in much younger conservatives judges.

It wouldn’t matter much if a judge was “left” or “right” if he had integrity to read the constitution as its written.

The problem is, there isn’t a leftist alive who has that kind of integrity.

Only men and women of good character, who can be trusted to rule based on the text and intent of the written constitution, can be trusted on this court. Beyond that it doesn’t matter much what their political persuasion is.

Let Ginsburg go on her own terms, but make no promises. I suspect this is a Dem operative thing, spreading a story not because its true, but in hopes of making it happen.
