Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87
Fox News ^ | September 18, 2020 | Bill Mears

Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the enigmatic, longtime Supreme Court justice who attained near cult-like status among progressive circles, died Friday at the age of 87 from complications surrounding metastatic pancreas cancer.

The late Supreme Court Justice, who spent more than two decades on the bench in the highest court of the land, is survived by her two children, Jane Carol and James Steven Ginsburg.

Ginsburg, who was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, was known for her soft-spoken demeanor that masked an analytical mind, a deep concern for the rights of every American and a commitment to upholding the Constitution.

Well, this is the excuse the Biden campaign will use to “delay” the debate!
They will hold a big wake for her in DC for the next month, so Joe doesn’t have to debate the Orange man! I said it first!,,,

>An additional benefit is it makes Roberts irrelevant.

Get an extra Trump vote in time to vote on the post-election cases. Neuter the vote fraud.

Perhaps the left hand but it’s still okay. I’m not sure I’m proud of myself but the first words out of my mouth were “Really? Thank God.”

it’s critical to fill this slot before the election, or otherwise it will motivate leftists to vote in droves ...

A good pick will also motivate our side, and if the Rats throw the usual shenanigans against an obviously qualified candidate, it will turn off the moderates and undecideds.

https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/politics/2020/09/19/the-latest-mcconnell-senate-will-vote-on-trump-court-p

9 p.m.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate will vote on President Donald Trump’s pick to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, even though it’s an election year.

The Republican Senate leader issued a statement Friday night, about an hour and a half after the Supreme Court announced the liberal justice’s death from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer.

When conservative Justice Antonin Scalia died in February 2016, also an election year, McConnell refused to act on President Barack Obama’s nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to fill the opening. The seat remained vacant until after Trump’s surprising presidential victory.

Trump ended up nominating Neil Gorsuch, who was confirmed to the court.

The 2020 election is 46 days away.”

“If a hidin’ biden wins with a dim senate then we will get the hildabeast as a supreme court justice or something equally horrifying.”


I would bet that if Biden wins and the Demon-rats take the Senate, that they will expand SCOTUS to 13 members and pack the court with screaming left-wing judicial lunatics. The country will be completely done at that point. The final light of liberty will be extinguished.
