Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87
Fox News ^ | September 18, 2020 | Bill Mears

Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the enigmatic, longtime Supreme Court justice who attained near cult-like status among progressive circles, died Friday at the age of 87 from complications surrounding metastatic pancreas cancer.

The late Supreme Court Justice, who spent more than two decades on the bench in the highest court of the land, is survived by her two children, Jane Carol and James Steven Ginsburg.

Ginsburg, who was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, was known for her soft-spoken demeanor that masked an analytical mind, a deep concern for the rights of every American and a commitment to upholding the Constitution.

Conspiracy theories anyone.

This evil cancer kept alive fighting numerous cancers ravaging her. Could they have maintained that vigilance into next year.

Democraps needed this to motivate their base. They pulled the plug on those doctors and let her die now to rescue this election cycle.

Obit; Justice Ginsburg was preceded in death by 55 million babies in utero.

Except straight white men--she wanted them in labor camps.

Will the Turtle allow President Trump to replace her during this term?

Would the Marxists? He better, considering the Swamp has tried in vain to mire the first term.

I was just thinking that the other day. I didn’t want the leftists to have any motivating factors.

Even if they don't the court's composition now favors the conservative side. The court will still make decisions with the remaining justices.

The ratio is now 5-3 conservative to liberal. If Roberts goes rogue and the court ties at 4-4 then the lower court ruling stands.

I hope so. And is Amy Comey Barret not on the list?

We already know the answer to that question. I bet the phones are burning up in DC right now, trying to coerce these 3 idiots.

FRiends,

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. Most of us on here were diametrically opposed to what she stood for and how we voted, but this is a time for mourning. We can start piling on about how we hated her opinions in a couple of days, but tonight America has lost a Supreme Court justice. Let’s be the classy, thoughtful conservatives we tell ourselves we are and show due respect for her. Let’s celebrate the fact that we were allowed to disagree with her. Let’s ALL be Americans.

I watched the detestable behavior on the part of some liberals when one of ours died. Let’s please take the high road and be able to show that we felt sorrow for the loss of a member of our highest court.

This is PDJT’s biggest challenge yet.

Cutting taxes, building a strong economy, lowering unemployment, bringing peace to the Middle East, is all going to look like a cakewalk compared to filling a SCOTUS slot now.

RBG dies on a Friday (planned?). Congress will explode on Monday. But Dems have to be careful; the bigger the firestorm, the less attention on blaming Trump for Covid.

At least PDJT has the weekend to plan his strategy.

If Trump can get all those Arab countries to sign a peace deal he can make these three vote the way he wants.

Arab hate for Israel is one thing. Romney's Trump Derangement Syndrome is on another level.

Ending the week on a high note.

I feel for her family as they lost someone

But I feel relief and joy for the country

Trump needs to nominate someone tonight or tomorrow

Not joking

Justice Ginsburg’s deathbed statement is this: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed.”

We gotta wait 4 years?

Nobody is going g to be appointed and confirmed before the new administration. It all depends on the election.
