At President Donald Trump’s rally Friday in Bemidji, Minnesota, several people in the crowd shouted “Ginsberg is dead!” when the President, seemingly oblivious of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, noted potential Supreme Court vacancies.
Bullshit. He knew. There is no other reason for him to have brought up the issue. He just figured playing coy and being able to later say disingenuously, “Oh, sorry. I had no idea…” would absolve him of any pushback caused by the crowd’s chant.
Four? Including Ginsberg, I don’t see how more than two is likely, the other being Thomas, who’s in his 70’s and appears to be in good health. Ok, Breyer’s getting up there. But who would be the fourth? None of the others are out of their 60’s, although Sotomayor’s been looking a bit weak lately.
