Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away

[DinkinFlicka]

I think this helps Trump with the middle of the road average person voter. They don’t want another extremist on the court and that’s what Biden would give us.

Full retard.

That's the first time I've ever seen a hint of humanity from him. And It didn't appear to be sarcastic.

meanwhile on the plane:

I guess most Dims are pissed at Obama now for not making her retire and that she passed during the Trump era.

No, not really. How was he supposed to do that?

 

[Rickyvol77]

Boo hoo, cry me a river and all the other metaphors. Garland was qualified and a reasonable nominee. He didn't get a vote. Kavanaugh is on the court.

how about Bork?

 

[Orangeburst]

It’s a natural escalation from the McConnel rule. Which was a natural escalation of the nuking of the filibuster. It’s coming. I could almost see Roberts stepping down to restore the 2016 status quo and prevent it, but not quite.

With no police, why even have a judicial system...Laws and a judicial system are for suckers.

I don't know about 90, but you better not lose both the White House and the Senate on November 3rd.

And Democrats had better not try to establish their own thousand year Reich by doing so if they win both. I’d be in for favor of secession by the majority of states that oppose such fascism. All those opposing can migrate to that handful of Marxist states and form their own perfect union, CHAZ on a magnificent scale.

This doesn't make any sense. RBG was a leftist extremist. If you replace one leftist extremist with another, you haven't changed anything. If you replace a leftist extremist with a far right extremist... you have fundamentally changed the court.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

No, not really. How was he supposed to do that?

She should have dipped out years ago. More time to rest and fight her myriad ailments, spent time with family, etc. SC nominees were never expected to do this job until they croaked. The parameters are being gamed to our detriment.

Good

I haven't noticed the same cosmic injustices. I've only noticed a horrible national mistake and the unfortunate but foreseeable aftereffects.

Now wait a minute , You guys have spent 4 years tying Trump to more degrees than Kevin Bacon has, so I would say all the cosmic injustices you’ve noticed would be tied to Trump and directly opposed to the lefts agenda . This is where we come full circle and have to look in the mirror . Is it really that bad or is it just the reflection i see that has the problem . Why is it that the Rs just want a constitutionalist to be appointed, and the left is unhappy that a constitutionalist judge could be appointed .

The Clintons would have figured it out

define "far right"

 

[AM64]

Damn; twenty pages already. That escalated in a hurry.

I love me some Doug , he’s so dumb . Lol

 

[Rickyvol77]

Good

It's definitely coming

I don’t know what this means. Sorry.

 

[Orangeburst]

Dang dude..I appreciate your honesty but if it is purely based on political ideology then damn the torpedoes.

 

[BowlBrother85]

... but Senate Republicans refused to take up a vote the last time it happened. In doing so, they allowed the seat to remain vacant for more than a year.

Why don’t we replace a far left extremist with a constitutionalist? Seems everyone should want that for what’s best .

 

[NCFisher]

To me, it’s not catering to two ideologies. I believe if you’re a true constitutionalist, some issues come down, what would be considered at one time or another, slightly left. For instance, gay marriage. While I can disagree with it from a personal or religious standpoint, it’s really not the place of the federal govt to insert itself, IMO. Other issues come down right of center. I would like a justice that issues a ruling in line with the constitution and limiting govt intrusion.

Gay marriage is not a left a right question but simply a question of do two consenting adults have the right to establish a relationship they both agreed to. Whether the left and right political ideologies agree on that Is immaterial. Marriage is a societal and/or religious construct that government has no business licensing, permitting, or not permitting.

Again, we need constitutionalists, not political catering.

The best way to handle this really would be for Trump to nominate Merrick Garland... but that won't happen.

 

[AM64]

At the risk of repeating what someone else has said, this changes everything. Dims won't let Trump make a replacement because they think he's toast, and they will really pull out all the stops to see him defeated. This is going to be a much more nasty election season than we ever imagined.

Then we agree.

Everyone here understands what you are saying , but it’s dog eat dog politics now and it has been since 2016 . The dog you are leading around won’t hunt now .
