“... even though he blocked former President Obama’s nominee for most of 2016 after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.”

Barry was a lame duck. Trump isn’t. They conveniently leave out that little detail. Ginsburg is going toes up, and Trump appoints her replacement. We win. Well, at least we slow the slog to the Left for a generation.

I suspect Joan Ruth Ginsburg’s tenure on the SCOTUS is rapidly coming to an end.

When she dies... lets just hope that President Trump and the Senate push someone through immediately. President Trump is almost certain to win reelection but the Senate is going to be a very tough fight. If we lose the Senate it will be at least two years before President Trump can get any SCOTUS justice confirmed. Fortunately, if the liberals start dying off, it will still mean a court that is more conservative than what we currently have.

The senate can't do judges if they're conducting the impeachment trial. That's why the rats won't go through with the impeachment vote until they need to tie up the senate with the trial.

Anyone President Trump nominates will make 1/2 the country crazy. Well, crazier at any rate.

"What he’ll probably do upon Ginsburg’s retirement or passing is to name prospective names at high frequency but actually nominate nobody."

IMHO, absurd to the point of qualifying as nonsense...

This President waits for both nothing and no one... Just examine virtually every one of his actions since rescuing the Presidency from the communist enemy...

One could almost sense a troll attempt here...

There are a handful of reasons why Collins is better than any Maine democrat who wants to challenge her.

Collins voted for President Trump’s tax cuts, voted for Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, and voted for the overwhelming majority of the president’s other judicial picks. A democrat would have been a “no” vote on all of the above.

Also, The GOP needs to keep a Senate majority in January of 2021. We don’t want to see Chuck Schumer as Senate majority leader. Re-electing Susan Collins helps keep the Senate under GOP control.

I know Collins leaves a lot to be desired in a senator, but a democrat would be much worse.

I learned the two-year survival rate is about 7 percent.

That depends upon the type of cancer.

Your statement is better sourced and supported by data but I was about to say that black men die young in disproportionately large numbers (drugs, gangs, etc) and that skews the numbers. It’s like the old idea that life expectancy in the middle ages was 40ish. That’s technically accurate but misleading mostly because so many people didn’t survive childhood. Adults by and large lived well beyond 40 but all the child mortality totally skews the numbers. And so it is with black men.

I fully expect a room in the SCOTUS building to be turned into a fully equipped hospice ward for Ruthie...

Trump has a woman in mind for a replacement. A catholic woman. It will be fun.

Your explanation rings true. I suspected something like that, and that’s what prompted me to look up the stats.
