Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at 87. - 🦀

That doesn't matter. At this point the Dems will just outright make something up. Hell Kavanaugh was a dude most of them talked up before they decided he was and always had been Rapey McRaperson. They'd know it was a lie, the Republicans would know it was a lie, the country would know it was a lie, but that no longer matters, it's all about the spectacle at this point.
The spectacle can only ever be done once though. They burnt off one of their biggest guns in a hail mary pass back then. it cannot be used again. The Republican senate only has to go "Oh, they did something, is there more proof than kavanaugh? No? Well, we saw how that went, moving on."

Doesn't matter, Democrats aren't needed for a confirmation.
 
Someone may have said this but her imminent death must have been an open secret since Trump was just talking about his updated SCOTUS candidate list this past week.

They should fill it ASAP. A SCOTUS seat up for grabs is what would energize Dem voters. If it gets filled pronto the rest of the wind would be sucked out of their already flagging sails. Crush them.

It isn't going to happen period. There's more than enough spineless Republicans that won't support it.

Whatever this was, it didn't last long. Guess the whips were ready to strike.

It was probably Lisa Murkowski. Cocaine Mitch is likely explaining to her and Susan Collins that the Dems will use Ginsberg to steamroll them as an issue on Election Day, if they leave the seat as an undecided issue. Casting the vote and seating a Justice just triggers a temper tantrum which increases the chances they get re-elected.
 
I think they did everything they could to have her hold out but sometimes you can't fight fate.

At the same time, I would not be surprised if this is our "October Surprise" for 2020 come early and the Democrats will milk this for all its worth so they can get as many votes in for Biden in the key swing states and let voter fraud do the rest

I was thinking about this earlier in the year when she was hospitalized.

My theory at the time was that if she were on death's door, her kids would tell the doctors to keep her on life support until after the election, so that she would still be alive in a legal, technical sense.
