Load up the nomination cannon.

Why the quotes? Hope she’s ok.

Yes I hate her politics but I admire the lady.

Unclinch your drawers.

Hope they transported her in a hermetically-sealed, bubble-wrapped, recently disinfected ambulance

For a gall bladder infection?

I think this should be handled like Obama did (assuming we lose Ruth) - Trump should nominate a moderate-right leaning replacement for a highly liberal justice. I'm sure all Dems would be on board... (it's a joke people relax)

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I think we should replace like for like.

That said, it would be fun to watch the reaction on the left if Ginsberg needed to be replaced and he nominated M Garland.

What does this mean?

If a liberal comes of the court replace them with a liberal. If a conservative comes off the court replace them with a conservative (something Obama did not do with Scallia). If a swing justice comes of the court replace them with a swing. Keep balance.

IOW, I would not support Brennan for Ginsberg

This is very subjective and would never work in practice.

How about we replace a partisan with a Constitutionalist ? I never understood how 9 judges could look at the same document and then vote differently way too often for comfort...there should be far more 9-0 decisions than 5-4 imo

I guess we are forever past the point where Constitutional experts who arent partisan are sitting at SCOTUS?

I don't consider them partisan - I meant how they interpret the law.

 

[DC_Vol]

I don't consider them partisan - I meant how they interpret the law.

Admittedly I’m not cut out for the law profession because I don’t understand the wide range of interpretations that can come from the same words. It frustrates me.

They're partisan
