Wow. Now it's getting interesting.

Ruth Bader Ginesburg has passed away at age 87

While I certainly disagreed with her political positions, as a lawyer, I admire the vigor of her views and how hard she worked to become the second woman to earn the honor of being a Supreme Court Justice and the first Jewish woman to earn that position. God Bless.

 

[Orlaco]

She probably lived long enough to accomplish her final career goal.

Trump gets to pick another one....

 

[EerNearClemson]

There were several women candidates on Trump's list of potential replacements. I see no reason why he won't try to fill that spot.

In the meantime, there are 3 scheduled debates looming. Should make those discussions even more heated, if not polar.

Very well said. RIP Justice Ginsberg.

Regardless who picks the next SCJ. The judge’s SCV will have 40+ votes against. That is crazy for a life term position.

If you know the name Merrick Garland, and you believe there is no reason not to fill that seat, you have absolutely sense of decency.

I‘m in favor, but probably not after Barry’s canceled nomination of Merrick Garland in a Presidential election year.

 

[Raven Shaddock]

World is batshit.

 

[Dr. Johns]

Precedent says the pick should wait until after the election.

 

[EerNearClemson]

But Barrack did not have the votes in the Senate. It was actually Mcconnell who put the brakes on the process.

So, we will see. I would think a woman would have to be nominated first because it's going to be so turbulent. I'll never forget how Brett Kavanaugh was treated during his process. The left was brutal.

 

[Raven Shaddock]

The left was brut

Batshit.

Finished it for you.

 

[nvEERs]

wrong Precedent is the last year of a lame duck Presidential term and it was Joe Biden and the democrats who started this, not republicans.

Precedent says the pick should wait until after the election.

 

[MikeIII]

World is batshit.

The batshit just went DEFCON 1.

 

[Raven Shaddock]

The batshit just went DEFCON 1.

Oh, just you wait.

 

[EerNearClemson]

And there it is, straight from Mcconnell.

"president Trump's nominee will get a vote on the Senate floor."

Not sure if he'll have the votes in the Senate. Should have the votes in the judicial committee, but Romney, Murkowski and Collins will probably vote against.

Hell, I am a staunch conservative and I really don't know whether it's a good idea or not. I know with every fiber of my being the Dems would not hesitate to shove a nominee thru if they had the Senate and the Prez, so I'lm probably for it.

But let's say Trump gets it done, then the Dems get the Prez and Senate. First thing they would suspend the filibuster and expand the SCOTUS to 15 members with 6 new far, far, FAR left justices.

 

[Raven Shaddock]

"president Trump's nominee will get a vote on the Senate floor."

For the record, the past couple months I am have been warning folks this is going to be the most eventful 2-3 months in modern American history. Of course, "eventful" was a kind way of saying the events would be unpleasant and bloody ... which as you can see in the streets, it has intensified and is only going to escalate.

Notice how the Abraham Accord has people talking "peace". I seem to recall text saying something about "When they say peace and safety ..."but I digress. Things are going to become so turbulent, here and abroad, that the calls for civility will rise in lockstep with a rise in rioting and violence here. Perhaps people need to see who Rabbi Yaakov Zisholtz claims to be in talks with. Unbelievable.

However, in no way did I factor a passing of Ruth Bader into the equation. There's really no words other than to say you have to sit back in awe as you watch how all of this is unfolding. This is not about the United States. This is a world about to be turned on its head.

What a crazy (and earth-shaking) road that lay ahead.

Looking to man (namely elected and unelected officials) to fix problems that THEY created.

Pure madness.

What happens if he doesn’t nominate and still loses the election? He has to nominate and get that through.

 

[Airport]

Thats one reason to go forward necausev

that’s one good reason to go forward. The lefts lying on kavanaugh

I agree. At the end of the day, it's an opportunity that hasn't been there since 1973. You have to take that shot, and he will.

I just really wish I had a crystal ball and could tell whether it's going to help or hurt the good guys in 33 Senate races and the Presidential race.

I think it's going to help, but man it's scary if they take over the POTUS and Senate and are ffffffffurious about the new SCOTUS justice.

Does the vote happen before the election? I think it should but it’s not hard to imagine it getting drug past that point.

 

[MountaineerWV]

The year 2020 is like the 1980's-1990's WWF Royal Rumble..........just never know who is going to enter the ring, then the music hits, and BAM.....it's on!

You spelled Liberals wrong.

‘Precedent’...that’s cute and all but it’s not how this works

 

[Darrin class of 1989]

Very well said. RIP Justice Ginsberg.

I will not speak ill of the dead, but I don't think a few million infant souls will be rolling over in their graves (if they would have been given the decency to have one) over her passing.

I'll leave it at that.

 

[cwbullet]

Cocaine Mitch will get someone confirmed by January

Probably not the time for politics.

Aren't you an old, white male?

Mitch just said it would.

I think the lesser of the evils is for it to happen, although some squish RHINO types are already lining up with no votes.

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

Yes, but not a gullible one. I've been around.

And those Rhinos need to be on the record of not voting or voting nay.
