Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87

RIP. Now I guess we’ll see what McConnells principles are worth.

2016 he was blocking a nomination on account of an upcoming election, but you can bet he's going to push this one through asap. a complete double standard.

She will be missed.

I don’t want to make this thread political but we have another thread in her memory. I’m just going to say that the stakes in this coming election could literally not be any higher.

Rest In Peace Justice Ginsberg. You were an inspiration to millions and this country owes you a debt of gratitude for your service.

Right but I normally try not to politicize the news of someone’s passing.

Totally understand, but in this case I think it’s pretty much unavoidable.

Oh, no. The political drama when it comes to the next SC nominee is going to be a "show" if you get my drift.

You don’t know that.

I sure hope we get an appointment approved. The stakes are high enough. If the leftists using Biden as a figurehead harvest enough ballots to get him elected, freedom in America will be at grave risk. We should at least get another justice on the court that will uphold the constitution instead of pushing his own personal policy preferences.

Why does that matter politicians are the lowest in being an example of exhibiting morals and have no integrity.

Really it would be out of their character if they acted otherwise. Is that not why they are elected, because people do not elect honest people.

We honor her service. We may totally disagreed with many of her decisions, but she did serve our country and stuck to her principles. May she rest in peace.

You don’t know that.

Yeah, about that...

McConnell says Trump’s nominee to replace Ginsburg ‘will receive a vote’ in the Senate.

We all know the reason for that was to prevent the confirmation of a liberal justice. If a Republican was in the White House, Mitch McConnell would have done everything to hurry it up.

All year I hoped Ruth Bader Ginsberg would live at least one more year so Joe Biden could get the woman he wants on her seat. Pancreatic cancer is almost impossible to treat; the surgery causes Type 1 diabetes if the patient does not already have it. Radiation is not an option. PC has a 5% survival rate. If RBG lived, it would have been a miracle.

I wasn't even that - Merrick Garland was a moderate and had previously been floated by Republicans as a person they would be happy with on the Court.

 

[GodLovesCats]

You don’t know that.

Yes we do know that. It was all over the media - Republicans want to block the appointment just because Barack Obama is a Democrat. You can easily connect the dots.

America has enough problems already to rush through a judge appointment and confirmation. I want this time to be about her life and death. Then we can worry about the political stuff.

 

[iluvatar5150]

You don’t know that.

Thoughts now that he’s promised to rush it?

*And it would be a rush since the average time from nomination to confirmation is 67 days, and the senate is scheduled to be in recess for most of October.

If that was true, why would Barack Obama pick him?

Right all morals and ethics and principles right out the window, you guys are disgusting.

 

[loveofourlord]

Because A) they rejected every one else and B) Obama was under the idiotic idea that if he chose someone the republicans liked theyh wouldn't hate him.
