Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at 87. - 🦀

[Dumb Bitch Smoothie]

Given that she predated Trump, I'd say that can't be the only reason.

Well no shit.
But the mass hysteria is only because women and pronoun goblins think that the US is about to become some version of The Handmaid's Tale now thanks to orange man.

 

[Fandom Trash]

The election just got even crazier.

I don't see how.

If they replace Ginsburg immediately, the Dems will be utterly defeated and turnout will go to hell.

They can't. The Dems can filibuster it, drag it out. And if they do (they will), Dems will be utterly invigorated and turnout will go through the roof.

Yeah, this year is offically going worse than my worst case scenario.
I've been too optimistic.

Forget gasoline, this is like pouring kerosene, or ultra ignite point jet fuel on an infero and then dropping thermite onto it. If she had died literally several months before or later I would not worry, but this means things might accelerate too fast now.

If anything it's not fast enough.

"And then one day, for no reason at all..."

I thought the filibuster for judicial confirmations was removed?

What is the "nuclear option", sir?

FTFY. Now stock up.

 

[Shqueefa]

At least she can vote by mail now.

How likely are the republicans to lose the senate? RINO Murkowski already committing to not confirming before election day.

Even if Trump nominated someone tomorrow, no Senator would have to vote on it before the election anyway. Things don't move that fast. Murkowski's virtue-signalling over an impossibility.

The juicy question is what would happen if the vote was to happen in the lame duck Senate, already knowing who would control the chamber after January. You might see some good wrestling fights, folding chairs and illegal holds if the Dems were set to take over.

Tucker said he can't believe she would say this on her deathbed but I once worked for an attorney who later died of leukemia and was babbling on in delirium about court cases she had argued until her last breath. I can believe it. RBG bragged about outliving Trump. That takes a special kind of arrogance when you pancreatic cancer has spread throughout your body at 87 so she may have uttered it.

Demonrats don't play fair, it's about time the Republicunts start playing dirty too. Push through the most hardline prolife projeebus antigay zealot they can find just so we can watch the left implode. Who gives a shit, as long as it screws over the left.

Lol, they're too much of pussies to do that.

If you thought the hysteria was bad already.... Jesus Christ.

Not really a bad thing though imo. Status Quo is the west dying a slow death.

#NUCLEAR OPTION

Thank you dems for implimenting this.

 

[Local Fed]

For the laughs, I'm going to choose to interpret this as Hillary expecting to be named to SCOTUS by Trump. Fuck, it's 2020 so who knows anymore.

 

[Jigglyjogglers]

I thought the filibuster for judicial confirmations was removed?

By the Democrats. And McConnell told them outright when they did it he'd use it against them.

 

[Robert James]

Tin foil hat on, Dems finally let the bitch die to win the election. The amount of "If you're a liberal this is the reason to vote" post/tweets is going to be deafening for the next month and if trump actually tries to get a justice in, they can use that as an argument of power grabbing and uncertainty. Not the move I'd pull but it's one that may actually stoke a fire under their base.

As for the women, as much as I want to make a statement about her rotting in hell it be an empty comfort. The only thing I wish is for her legacy to be remembered if the world goes back to sanity as a strict reminder of how justices can destroy the legal system.

Yeah, who cares about fucking up the country, as long as we can stick it to those libs, right?

Ah yes the old. why are you bringing a gun to a knife fight when you know your opponent is brining their gun, argument. Honestly the only way this matters is if trump gets a second term if not the dems have already admitted they want to increase the number of supreme court justices so having another Kavanaugh added won't matter. Even then he'd be stupid to fill it in now, it's way too good of a campaign for the dems if he did.

Statistically impossible.

If Biden steals wins the election I hope they nominate Tiffany Trump.

 

[Who dat?]

No filibuster for judges anymore. And vote would most likely be after the election.

Shit, there's 2 of these threads moving?
