Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Dead At 87 | Talking Points Memo

My heart is on the floor.

You know McConnell will push this one through as quickly as he possibly can and it’ll be the worst possible candidate. McC will conveniently forget the prohibition he put on Obama.

I am crushed and heart sick for her family and the country. She lived a long and memorable life.

This would be a terrible loss under any circumstances. But now … I have no words.

Now we know why tRump came out with a list for the court last week. He has to have been notified she was declining.

Damn
There should be no vote on a replacement until after Jan 5th. At least there should be that level of respect for her.

How long before Mitch’s horrible choice votes with the wingnuts to snuff the ACA, Roe v Wade and many other rulings we counted on. It’ll be clear sailing on that.

RIP, Notorious RBG. One hell of a human being. History will remember you well.

With this news I am ready to take up arms, because I know Trump and McConnell are drooling at the opportunity to further stack the SCOTUS. Merrick Garland anyone?

I am beyond depression. I am angry.

If McConnell pushes for the nomination, I’m wondering if that will turn more folks against him for his own re-election.

No SCOTUS nomination until after the election according to Mich.

No way they are seated before the election, thus they will be seated after Joe wins and it will be openly craven and the new Congress will have the Running room to reform the court

He should only have a few months to live, from the looks of him. The other two, not so much.
