Trump says he is 'saving' Barrett for Ginsburg seat: Axios
The Hill ^ | 3/31/19 | ZACK BUDRYK

Posted on 03/31/2019 5:13:56 PM PDT by Libloather

President Trump has reportedly said he is "saving" Judge Amy Barrett of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, according to Axios.

Barrett was a popular choice among conservative activists as a candidate to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy before Trump eventually nominated Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Axios reported that Trump has made clear his desire to replace Ginsburg with Barrett since Kennedy’s decision to retire, telling people on separate occasions, "I'm saving her for Ginsburg."

So is RBG still even alive?

When was she seen last in public?

He's doing it just right.

Hell, I think we all know that's what would happen.

He did it just right with getting the nomination of Kavanaugh through first.

Whatever, but I say it is time for us or Ginsburg to prove she is alive or up to the job...if not time to fill it! It is obvious they are stalling to get nearer to election to prevent filling it so it is high time to move on it! invite them all in fr a “nice” judicial chat and let’s see the corpse do her thing!

Or can’t the President go for a visit? Why all the intrigue on this - she is capable of the position or not - simple as that - no bull sh*tting around it!

> according to Axios

We should all just assume it’s fake right there and move on. In the unlikely it turns out to be true, some credible source will confirm it in due time.

Some question this publication, but for the record I wouldn’t be surprised if the President is doing that.

What I would be surprised at is letting the cat out of the bag so early so as to give the satanic left ample time to make up lies to derail her appointment.

Perhaps Ginsburg is being Verticalized with some of HilLIARy’s secret Kickapoo Joy Juice Resurrection/Resessitation/Reinvigoration injections?

I’d love to see that seat come open in 2020 with the Republicans in control of the Senate. They’re supposed to let the electorate decide right? Heh heh.

Could be “The Pile” in some instances. As to notorious rbg, they’ll try to keep her propped up like weekend at bernies.

I agree. Always anticipate and I think they already warned Barrett that the Kavanaugh “treatment’” by the left will happen and to brace for it..

That’s fine, but I wanted him to upset the “standard” of appointing Supreme Court associate justices, more than sticking some top Federalist judges in the Dims face. I wanted him to piss the Dims off even more.

I wanted him to “save” Kavanaugh as Ginsberg’s replacement, and appoint Amy back when he appointed Kavanaugh. NOT appointing a woman to replace Ginsberg, would have made the Dims crazy, no matter how many woman were already on the court.

“Saving” Amy for Ginsberg’s replacement is just giving in to the Dim’s expectation that a woman justice like Ginsberg MUST be replaced with a woman.
