...The sudden and unexpected passing of Justice Ginsburg

The above is my only beef with the article.

"Sudden and unexpected passing"?

Sorry, but she's been on death watch longer than Bob Hope was. Maybe the timing was inconvenient for some but there was nothing sudden and unexpected about it.

The news came as a shock in the midst of a year of unrelenting shocks, yet another jolt of massive proportions

Oh spare us. An 87 year old with decade old pancreatic cancer and many other health related concerns who finally passes is not, in any way, even a battery to the tongue level shock.

————-

The very first sentence tells me this guy is full of crap. Her death was not a shock to anyone paying the least amount of attention.

More remarkably still for a Supreme Court justice, she was nicknamed “The Notorious RBG” (in the spirit of the late rapper known as “The Notorious B.I.G.”)

To some, maybe. But to others she was Ruth “Buzzy” Ginsburg. An SNL character; except for the fact that her main endeavor was the slaughter of infants in the womb, right up to full term, and gender bending, which will mess up children’s lives and destroy happiness. Not much there to admire, in MY view.

By her own admission she did not respect the Constitution and was a bad pick as a Supreme Court Justice.

Roe v Wade was bad law and should have been left to the individual states.

I think Gods timing is perfect. We have been given an opportunity to do the right thing. This is a country with deeply religious roots. There are alway those who fight that but I think there is a hunger for a return to God.

Her dying wish mean NOTHING. She cannot rule from beyond the grave. She MUST NOT rule from beyond the grave. This is power beyond what the founders could have allowed. She lived, she was a very poor judge, now she is dead. Her family should grieve, the Nation should move on like it has the importance of a hair falling to the floor.

Some will think what i have to say is irreverent. I think the Rutabaga growers need to take advantage of this
Whenever you hear the name of Ruth Bader Ginsburg you will think of eating R U T A B A G A

From this author...”We hang in the balance right now, holding on by a mere thread of moral and spiritual sanity.”

Ginsberg oversaw and played a large role in the decline of morality and spiritual sanity in this country. I would spit on her grave.

“I think Gods timing is perfect.”

Can't remember who said this: “God is never late - but He is sooo last minute.”

It took Francisco Franco less time to die.

As passed on through her granddaughter, she said before dying, “my most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”

Not "until after the next election". Not even until after the 2021 inauguration. No, a new president must be installed. Her Supreme Court seat must be held open until at least 2025 when Trump is reelected.

Also, interesting word "installed". That choice makes it seems that she really didn't believe in elections.

I wonder what the granddaughter would say if the next president “installed” would be Mike Pence in 2025. Would she then say we need to keep the seat open until 2033?

The guard of Tophet has been denied atonement.

God is just.
