she fought hard.

 

[ABM]

R.I.P., Ruth

 

[wizenheimer]

RIP RBG

this sucks big time. The most corrupt, immoral, despicable president in history gets to appoint 1/3 of the SC

 

[Hoopguru]

RIP RBG

 

[Hoopguru]

No way he can get through a confirmation before election?

There should be term limits for justices too.

They'll probably try.

I think he has until January doesn’t he?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Fuck Cancer.

R.I.P.

 

[tlongII]

Great lady. RIP.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Yes.

 

[ABM]

Great lady. RIP.

Tough cookie. Just like @crandc

 

[wizenheimer]

yes

the R's are going to ram thru a right wing judge for sure

 

[Haakzilla]

They'll will most definitely try.

FIFY -- ole Mitchy boy has already said as much -- interestingly he was the same one blocking Obama's appointee for 1+ years because of the upcoming election hamming on about letting Americans decide the type of justice they want -- and to making it even more repulsive, Ruth's own dying wish was, "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."

If there's a HOF for the SC...she's a first ballot HOFer.

 

[Chris Craig]

Fuck

Good to see Yank back, hope all is well!

It could backfire against trump and excite the dem vote. He probably feels by ramming some through would cause trouble in the streets worse than Kav and help his election chances.

Trump doesn't care

 

[riverman]

RIP Ruth! What a life you led!

 

[crandc]

The new year isn't happy.

 

[Chris Craig]

Trump will nominate someone in the next few days and McConnell will be drooling to confirm that nomination. Hopefully, enough Republicans will say no. Only three need to say no. Lisa Murkowski from Alaska already said she wouldn't vote to confirm a replacement until after the election. Romney wants to fuck Trump over anyway and Susan Collins is about to lose so she needs to say no to have a chance at all to win, so there is three already.

Worst year ever

Romney wont vote against as he's very radically pro life. In fact his Buddy that senator form Utah may be the nominee?

 

[Chris Craig]

Confirmed McConnell called republican constituents shortly after her death was announced to talk about replacing her. Asshole can't even wait till her body gets cold.

I will be glad when both he and Trump are gone, hopefully they get voted out in November

 

[wizenheimer]

by the way. 2020 really needs to go somewhere and fuck itself...I'm tired of it fucking everybody else

scary thing is there are still 104 days left to this horrible year
