Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away

[BreatheUT]

MY far left next door musician neighbor commenting on President Trump getting his third supreme court nominee, "I'm beginning to think it's God's will."

I think the chaos we've seen in 2020 is the devil's work.

Democrats have raised $3 million since McConnell announced he will put up a nominee for a vote.

Good. Less they have to spend waste on Biden.

Boomhauer says what

Had my vote.... until that pandering pile of BS post.

2020 is going to suck even more and I didn't think it was possible but I should have known better.

Top contenders to fill vacant Supreme Court seat include Coney Barrett, Hardiman

Each of these names is on Trump's list of possible nominees, a list he has said he would rely on when making any selection.

Chatter that it'll be Amy Barrett as the nominee.

Hopefully Ted Cruz.

I didn't agree with about 80% of her stances, but I do respect her accomplishment to the highest court.

Ginsburg thought the US Constitution unworthy of being a model for other countries, specifically the Egyptian model.

The fooking Egyptians, for crying out loud. Or anyone for that matter.

Ginsburg was a progressive first and constitutionalist second, and that is not the role of a supreme court justice, her ovaries notwithstanding. That she thought so little of the constitution she was sworn to protect and uphold and interpret, that she could not recommend it as a document worthy of emulation is disgraceful.

LG is probably in uncontrolled sobbing mode right now.

Lol

LOL.

She’s been the obvious next nominee since Kavanaugh.

I don’t want to see a far right court swing. I want to see a centrist court who rules by the Constitution’s intent. Nobody is served well by an extremist court either way even if they are extremists in your own leaning

The right has never had an extremist court. Thecleft has.

Looking thru that list makes me feel old and unaccomplished.

I’m feeling better and better about my 2a rights .

 

[happy-go_vol]

I wouldnt say the right has had good rulings with this so called right leaning court

 

[BowlBrother85]

Pick it. You know what the hell simple majority means right? You’re weighting a non vote with the same weight as a no vote.

And before you step on your tool go look at the final Kavanaugh vote. Murkowski voted present to offset Daines who was not in attendance. Their votes were not counted because they didn’t vote.

I'll check later, but I think the Kavanaugh vote was 50-48.

The Supreme Court is supposed to be the guardian of the Constitution and yet, here we are fighting over what political power gets to nominate the next Justice.

The nominee should not be about left or right. It should be based on the merits of their work and how they interpret the guiding laws over our lands and not political affiliations.

Disclaimer: I’m well aware that it doesn’t work that way.

Guess what the two missing votes were!!!

 

[evillawyer]

Hopefully Ted Cruz.

Couldn't be Cruz. They need his vote.

It was the left who started twisting and bastardizing the constitution.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Sister evil is just carrying that water with the implications. It’s a 6 vote delta. If 5 R’s just abstain then it’s still an affirmation.

I’m listening on the wind and I’m pretty sure I can hear Harry Reid cussing In Nevada all the way down in Texas.

He's wondering where that bitemark on his butt came from.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

And yet she is revered for her lifetime of work.
Go figure.

I suppose that's some sort of consolation.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

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

Born in 1972, Coney Barrett is a former Notre Dame Law School professor. Her 2017 confirmation to the federal bench was contentious, with several Democratic senators questioning whether her faith -- expressed in prior speeches -- would influence her jurisprudence. "The dogma lives loudly within you, and that's a concern," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. Barrett responded, "It's never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge's personal convictions, whether they arise from faith or anywhere else, on the law." Barrett was a former law clerk for the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

In the majority of cases before them political persuasion isn't important. However, it does seem like most of the high profile cases are based on politics. We just don't hear much about the ones that aren't.

He was. But if you needed a majority of all members then he would have needed 51. Instead it was 50 yes 48 no’s and 2 no votes. Pence would have had to have voted to break the tie. He didn’t vote.

How could you not with a Barrett?
