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.

“Will the Turtle allow President Trump to replace her during this term?”

Let’s put the shoe on the other foot. If it were a 5/4 Dem Supreme Court and the difference maker died, how would Schumer/Pelosi/Biden handle it? I recommend we do the same damn thing. The turtle should schedule a hearing on Monday for the lady from Notre Dame to replace Ruth Buzzi. We currently have the Senate - use it! An additional benefit is it makes Roberts irrelevant.

If Trump can get all those Arab countries to sign a peace deal he can make these three vote the way he wants.

I stopped under estimating him a long time ago

Ding, dong, the b***h is dead... Or at least it’s finally been announced that she’s dead, seeing as how there’s been ‘Weekend At Bernie’s’ rumors about her for a while.

This might help DJT...to motivate some of these Anti-Trumper putzes...

Do they want Chuckie Schumer overseeing the candidacy of Merrick Garland?

Don’t get too excited. She’s still voting for Biden.

Would have been better news IF it had happened 60 days ago!!!

It probably happened 6 months ago and they had a double impersonating her... they decided to defrost her in time to make it an election issue. Either that or one of her own cronies knocked her off as a life rope to Biden.

RIP. After a suitable few days, Trump should announce a replacement. With the Senate is in recess then put that person on the bench now.

Collins will. Murkowski maybe. If we get those two, Romney is non-consequential!

First, prayers to her and her family. She was the first Jewish woman appointed to the high court, and she passed on the Jewish New Year.

Now, the politics are going to be crazier than ever!

Mitch McConnell should say straight forward that because of the way the Democrats handled the Kavanaugh debacle, there will be no hearings just a straight up and down vote on Trump’s nominee. The left is going to go nuts. And this vacancy, if not filled in the next 45 days, is going to become a huge campaign issue that amps up both party bases.

Sadly, too close to the election to push through now.

But they’ll put an Ipad and cell phone in her coffin so that she can continue to vote on cases. Her clerks can keep writing the opinions for her.

Partner, LMAO. Good post.
