Trailrider #896 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Madam Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg has passed away at age 87. Whether you agreed with her views or not, she was a courageous lady right to the end. Condolences to her family. Not sure what this means as far as appointing a successor to the SCOTUS...how quickly could a replacement be named and confirmed by the Senate?

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Could be a solid 6-3 court. She certainly hung on to the very end. I'll reserve any other comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I expect things to move quickly. Candidates for her chair have undoubtedly been vetted and ranked. The newscasters of all persuasions will be frantic right up to the election. Politicians on all sides will get lots of tv interview time. The new justice will think Mr. Kavanaugh had an easy time by comparison!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It will be entertaining to watch. Since the Republican Senate stole a SCOTUS seat from Obama during his last year in office, I expect the Democrats will have a fit when the Republican Senate tries to push this through.

Subdeacon Joe Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 While I think she allowed her politics to color her decisions more than I would like, and I didn't agree with many of her opinions, she was rock solid in her reasoning and sharp as a razor.

Raylan Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Murkowski says she won't support a vote for a replacement, be surprised if Romney doesn't flake. But McConnell says there will be a vote. President to announce a nominee in a week. Ironic the she is being name called and raged at tonight by many on the left who are saying she should have retired under Obama. Condolences to her family and friends, RIP.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I was truly hoping she would retire, long ago. Just because I disagree with someone, I would never wish them to pass away. Ideally, we wish them to change their mind, or, as I said, retire. This may open a possibility of a more conservative justice to be on the Supreme Court. To me, that is a good thing. Whoever the President announces for the job, it will never be accepted by the liberal/socialists in Congress. So, as usual, they will start their character assination, as soon as the candidate is revealed. Like as not, someone from the distant past will bring up allegations of an intimate nature...unless perhaps the candidate is a woman...but even then you never know. Not too difficult to figure out why some folks wait years and years to bring this to the attention of the media. If something that bad happened, why did they wait to bring it all out? Seems to happen every time. I wonder if we should consider money, and "fifteen minutes of fame", as being two of the "reasons" why this is brought up years, and years after it allegedly happened? Liberals are so predictable. Same thing, over and over. Well, you know the old saying about what one definition of insanity is.... Looks like all this is shaping up to be a dual cow-chip slinging event. One for the election, and now one for the Supreme Court nomination. Question is: how fresh will the cow-chips be? W.K.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I'm capable of refraining from waxing political on such occasions. She was an amazingly strong woman. Her fight with cancer for so many years is inspirational. She did what she thought was best for her country and for humanity. May she Rest in Peace.
