Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away

[Orangeburst]

How freaking awesome would that be?!!!

Can one vote for himself..lol

It will go past November 3rd... and per the precedent set with Merrick Garland in 2016 after the death of Scalia, the Senate doesn't take up a vote for a Supreme Court Justice nominee from a lame duck president.

That precedent is meaningless because it was basically crap McConnell made up to hold the seat open from February 2016 until the election.

He came out and said they are filling the seat ASAP already.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Boom. Romney with the FU to Trump

I don't think they will have the votes to confirm a Trump nominee after November 3rd if he loses.

Amy Coney Barrett. Then the world would get to see the Dems and media try to demonize and smear a female into oblivion.

I was just thinking the optics of what he said in the past.

 

[BreatheUT]

I'm surprised at Grassley. I also don't believe him.

The tweeter is a troll.

 

[hog88]

The funeral on CNN thinks that it helps Sleepy Joe. lol.

When was the last time CNN was right?

 

[Boston Vol]

Kavanaugh had dirty laundry that needed to be aired.

What dirty laundry was that? The definition of boofing?

 

[volfanhill]

I’m going to be the only reply you get. But you already know the answer

I asked just to see if it dawned on her or if she was going to reply. I am not surprised she is ignoring the question.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

When was the last time CNN was right?

Oh I know. I'm in LA on a layover and was channel surfing. I figured the liberal tears flowing on there would be delicious and they are in full spin mode.

 

[luthervol]

Don't you think though that every justice needs to think about retirement around age 75 whenever there's a palatable administration in office? It's common sense.

Sure. But, she was confident of a Clinton victory. The prospect of having the first ever female president appoint her seat replacement was the perfect crowning jewel.
She carried the weight of that miscalculation to her grave. One more layer of what makes it all so incredibly sad.

 

[volfanhill]

When was the last time CNN was right?

When the missing plane flew into a black hole

 

[BowlBrother85]

What if all four vote present? Wouldn’t Trumps nominee still be confirmed?

No. You need 51. The majority has to be over those voting "present" with those voting "no". Now, the VP (Pence) can get you to 51, if you are stuck on 50 to break the tie... but the nominee wouldn't be confirmed with a 49-47 vote... and 4 "present" votes.

Has anyone started taking bets on the number of funerals? I lost money taking the under on John Lewis.

LG vs CNN...nailbiter

 

[luthervol]

You really want to tell me that she shouldn‘t have retired in 2014/15?

In hindsight, of course.
Had Clinton won, her decision to stay would have been perfect.

 

[37L1]

This was so sudden.

I thought she would live forever.

She was a tough lady. May she rest in peace.

 

[luthervol]

I'm going to be honest, I never really followed John Lewis's career. What did he do besides march with MLK? I just remember him lately has an angry individual and continued to provide an outdated message.

Can you list some accomplishments?

It's an incredibly easy google search.

RBG played herself and, by extension, the entire american left.

Oh I can assure you it’s dawned on her ive beat her over the head with the statement about three times now

That’s a huge character flaw of her if that indeed is accurate

And the number of times local mandates in indoor crowd gatherings will be obliterated.

I don't mean to laugh but I just turned to CNN after you said that and that solemn sound in Anderson Cooper's voice gives you a shake your head moment.

dumb and dumber

It is downright disgusting if that was her thought process.

Ummmmmm. No
