Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court justice, trailblazing feminist, and the closest thing to a folk hero the high court has ever seen, has died at the age of 87.

Out of 53 Republicans, I doubt that 50 will support a replacement this year.

We will see if McConnell follows through. He said he would seat a new justice before the election. Recently.

Us? We get to eat popcorn and enjoy the fireworks. It’s gonna be GOOD...

You sound just like Rodney King moaning “Can’t we all just get along?” after he was single-handedly responsible for the South-Central LA riots.

If Scalia wasn’t replaced quickly, I don’t see Ginsburg either. Sadly.

None of us will know until we shuffle off this mortal coil ourselves, but I guess it’s possible that at the very last moment, RBG admitted to herself and to God the incalculable damage she did to America (and Americans), and repented. Isn’t redemption via repentance and acceptance of Jesus christ the goal of the Christian belief system?

I hope she did repent. If she didn’t, what she was going through with her cancer will seem — FOREVER — like a perfect day at a perfect beach.

Why did you think it was necessary to post it twice from 2 different sources? Didn’t you believe it the first time?

On February 23, the 11 Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee signed a letter to Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell stating their unprecedented intention to withhold consent on any nominee made by President Obama, and that no hearings would occur until after January 20, 2017, when the next president took office.
.......
This position subsequently became known as the “McConnell rule”.
...........
That August, McConnell, who played an instrumental role in keeping Merrick Garland from filling Scalia’s vacant seat, heralded the party’s uncompromising intransigence by declaring to a crowd in Kentucky,
.........
“One of my proudest moments was when I looked at Barack Obama in the eye and I said, ‘Mr. President, you will not fill the Supreme Court vacancy.’”

I wish I could express my condolences but this woman clung to that seat several years past the point where she could effectively perform her duties. All so “President Hillary” could have the honor of replacing her. Then when Trump won, she was determined to hang on another 4-8 years when she should have been spending time with family and putting her affairs in order. So selfish.

This means a split no-tie court for election challenges from now to November.

How will this impact Pennsylvania and Michigan challenges?

Rest in peace. She and Scalia can make music together again.

I wonder whom the president will nominate.

I hope people can be kind. there are hundreds of Freeps that are very elderly as well. Having celebrations is crass!

War is hell. One of their generals has passed - time to push the advantage
