Ruth Bader Ginsberg died

RGB “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is in office.”

Then she should have retired while Obama was in office instead of waiting for the first female president (Hillary) to appoint her replacement.

Not necessarily. The average time to appoint and approve a nominee is only 25 days!

We can hope...

And do you think that this will be "average" in any way?

No, the crazy needle wont go to 11, it will spin around 3x and stop at 15.

RIP RBG.

Oh God NO! But the pressure is going to be extremely intense.

But, Bush did get Roberts done in 19 days. He'll try.

The thing I wonder about is IF Trump doesn't get someone nominated before the election how motivated will, overall, both bases be to get out the vote? I see the conservatives being extremely motivated. I see some of the liberals being extremely motivated, but not as much. Of course I am applying my own preconceived notions that could be entirely right or wrong. I don't know. But if I am correct then it almost guarantees a reelection for Trump.

Regards,

Doug

No no no! Don't change anything! I got an autistic kid telling me it is the secret formula to... Nevermind. I shouldn't say any more.

I figure President Trump will go ahead and make the appointment and push for confirmation if for nothing else just to hear the screams. For the right consideration Senator McConnell will probably get the job done. It will raise the unpleasant level in many parts of the country by an order of magnitude.

I am ready. Bring on the screaming and crying. The lamentations of the woman.

If anything, I think it will be faster. There will be a lot of pressure on the Rs to approve someone lest they lose control of the Senate in November

Murkowski has already said she will not vote until after the election.

 

[Old Dog]

Bring in the Elephants and Donkeys and let the circus begin. I wonder who will win, but I don't really want to hear the war.

Yep. I think Trump realizes a lot of people voted for him in 2016 because of the openings in the courts. It fired the republicans up to keep Hillary from choosing judges. I think he’ll appoint someone just to hear the left freak out and fire up his voting base so we get the seat we’ve been waiting on. 2020 just turned into an even more important election than it already was. We all knew it was coming, it’s a blessing it happened before the election so people who forgot get motivated and vote.

Also, RIP RGB. Even if I disagreed with her politically, I don’t believe she ruled on anything maliciously. I think she used her heart for her decisions, and I wish she could’ve enjoyed her final years with her family and not worrying about politics. Life is the most valuable resource we have.

Yes, the pres should nominate Barret next week. It will set the libs hair on fire even worse than it is now, on top of making RINO senators accountable.

Murkowski, Collins, Romney, ...

Power at the dc level must be some sort of strong drug. You see so many people spending their last bits of time on earth trying to hold on to that power.

Hope I have as much fight for my life as she did.... too bad she didn’t have it for others.

“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed,” Ginsburg said on her deathbed, according to NPR.
