Ruth Bader Ginsburg died

[Tgo01]

It was dictated to her grand daughter. If McConnell honored her dying wish, he could keep from tearing this country apart.

Why should he "honor her dying wish"?

I don't recall anywhere in the constitution which states "If a supreme court justice says they want a new president to replace them then this must be honored."

Also let's stop with the fuckery already. We have been hearing for years from people such as yourself that Trump and Republicans are "tearing this country apart" and it's been pretty obvious who is doing the tearing, and it sure as shit ain't Trump or the Republicans.

How can anyone even know if she really said that to her granddaughter? In addition to that, Clara Spera's politics are very left leaning so it sounds exactly like a thing someone would say to throw a wrench in the works.

It was dictated to her grand daughter. If McConnell honored her dying wish, he could keep from tearing this country apart.

But he won't do that. And a lifetime of public service and inspiring generations of young women to shatter the glass ceiling is going to be desecrated.

And it really will tear us apart.

Oh, piss off with this nonsense. You sound like a fucking child.

[Tgo01]

How can anyone even know if she really said that to her granddaughter?

Yeah personally I'm calling bullshit. I wouldn't put it past her granddaughter to dishonor the memory of her grandmother to push petty politics. It just seems a little too convenient to the Democrat narrative.

But of course I'm sure the narrative that has already been crafted is that if you question her granddaughter then you're a racist, sexist, conspiracy theorist Nazi.

Trump upon first hearing the news that Ginsburg died:

She just died? Wow. I didn't know that, you're telling me now for the first time.

She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman, whether you agreed or not, she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life. I'm sad to hear that.

Let's contrast that with Schumer's first response upon hearing the news:

The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.

But remember it's Trump and Republicans who are heartless people and are tearing this country apart. Christ. The mental gymnastics you people go through is nothing short of disgusting at this point.

[drauz]

I honestly don't care what her dying wish is.

That being said I do hope it doesn't get filled till after the elections.

This is sad. Given her health issues and age it was kind of expected, but at the same time she was fighting like a champ until the end so it was also kind of surprising.

I don't think I have agreed with her on a single issue but it's still sad to see. She never struck me as evil like a lot of people in politics clearly are today, she was just misguided. May she rest in peace.

As if 2020 couldn't get worse, imagine the absolute cluster fuck both if Trump and Senate Republicans try to fill her seat before the elections and if they don't and instead it will be yet another campaign issue for both sides.

Thanks to Harry Reid, it will almost definitely be filled before the election.

[Methais]

Trump has a list he just added to and revised, and Graham and McConnell have both said any vacancies this year would absolutely be filled, so you can pretty much guarantee it will be filled. And they will be sure to fil it with an old, bitter, unscrupulous white man that is just like them. Chances are, it'll be someone who Trump has dirt on as I'm sure they've learned their lesson from Roberts with the handful of times he's gone against their regime. This is how politics works, because it's how you "win". Trump isn't any different in spite of you liking to think he "isn't a politician".

[Parkbandit]

Not really, no. I think this is the only time I've mentioned it, aside from a few jokes in a Scalia topic years ago. I'm a little irritated at the hypocrisy on display here, but that's nothing new. If you want to drop the 'lol you mad' psychic vampire LARP we can have an actual discussion.

And that's the rub.. you only have a problem with the hypocrisy you don't align with.
