Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at 87. - 🦀

[Gehenna]

And they've already announced they'll contest the results, no matter what. If it's 4-4 the Roberts will recuse himself like the cuck he is and hand the country over to the dems.

That'd hand it to the conservatives though. The current split is 4/1/4 with Roberts being the 1. With him gone and Ginsburg gone it is 4/3, clear conservative majority.

"She wished not to be replaced until the next President is sworn in."

Why would the GOP wait five years to appoint a Supreme Court Justice?

Not sworn in. Installed.

What did she know that we don't?

 

[President Joe Biden]

you are that smuggie meme irl

See this is the problem with Democrats and the left in general. They are stuck in the past. They expect Republicans to fall over and stick to things they said in the past. They still believe that the people in power in the GOP are bound by evangelical morals, despite almost four years of being led by an adulterous, sinful casino owner. They have been using a playbook that's old enough to vote, not realizing that the ground beneath them has been shifting the entire time. The movers and shakers of the GOP have been using the same horseshit that the Democrats have been pulling for decades all while the media and hate machine focuses on the President. How many judges have been confirmed? Mitch McConnell is going to bend the DNC over and fuck them in the ass, and they deserve every fucking bit of it.

You may have had a point, six months ago before Democrats just dropped the act entirely and tried to run the country into the ground. The weaselly way you try to hold people to standards that you yourself don't observe is odious and completely transparent. That shit doesn't work anymore and you have absolutely no way of being able to comprehend how shitty things are going to be for people who share your worldview for a very long time. Kavanaugh is 55 years old, if he stays as long as Ginsberg that's over three decades of hearing cases. Again, I have to reiterate, Democrats have done this to themselves and since I'm not a "Principled Republican", I have no problem saying:

Don't call it a grave, it's the future you chose.

 

[verissimus]

Is that confirmed? Romney definitely, Murkowsi maybe, Collins maybe is what I've seen so far. But the Democrats need four defectors thanks to the VP breaking ties, right?


And now Schumer is making the exact same argument McConnell did last time... Why do you expect principles from politicians?

It is for Murkowski. Collins will likely follow suit. She rarely plays ball with the party.

They finally pulled the live support to gin up support for the election in November.

"You don't want to lose your abortion rights, don't you ladies?"

There's a easy counter for it

"The dems are campaigning for the death of babies. The death of the innocent! Very sad! Many such cases."

The way I read it is "the people spoke then by electing Trump and spoke now by electing us in 2018".

Edit: and because it's Current Year I don't really give a shit either way, the Democrats have proven to be authoritarian cunts that will do anything for power and want to severely punish the country for daring to elect Trump. Fuck em.

Not sworn in. Installed.

What did she know that we don't?

Mask coming off?

 

[Jigglyjogglers]

Well, he ain't getting it.

 

[The Last Stand]

this entire situation could have been easily avoided and they could have had whatever Justice they chose sitting on the bench for a good 30+ years if they'd done it when the Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate.

I have a proposal. If you reach a certain tenure or age, you have to GTFO. NO exceptions.

I can't believe that RBG said those words on her deathbed. Its bullshit. Unless they have proof. And even then I still won't believe it.

And the current Governor of Virginia. And his Lt. Governor did some racist shit too.

I believe she said that about as much as I believe the 8 year old progressive spawn lectured the people on the bus on Marxist Economic Theory.

"And then the rest of the Moloch worshippers all clapped"

 

[Gehenna]

Oh, well, that explains it. my above made me realize something, this actually IS fucked for the democrats. They were probably hoping on Roberts being a complete idiot, he likes to kow tow to the left to a mild degree, and give them a chance in the supreme court with a contention. But the head justice recuses in the case of a hung supreme court. That means the CONSERVATIVES have a clear majority on the Supreme Court in the case of election contention.

It is for Murkowski.

She said that earlier today, before RBG died, and as far as I know she was not aware of RBG's decline in the last few days. So I wouldn't put her in the confirmed category yet, as that may have been political positioning done under the reasonable assumption that RBG would live another couple months at least.

The rumor about Obama buying his DC mansion back in 2016. He expected Hillary to nominate him to the Supreme Court.

hell yeah! I'll drink to that!

Remember that Democrats have been normalizing the notion of packing the court or adding ways to force Justices from office for the last 4 years. They can still spin her being replaced into a pro-turnout issue.

True, but that road is far bumpier and uncertain than a Justice confirmation- which by legislative standards is relatively smooth sailing (or as smooth as procedures can try to be).

If there is life after death, I hope Scalia and Ginsburg are riding elephants together wherever they are now.

It's one of those rare Washington friendships that lost people are too much of an asshole to make.

It was like Paul Wellstone and Jesse Helms.

And they've already announced they'll contest the results, no matter what. If it's 4-4 the Roberts will recuse himself like the cuck he is and hand the country over to the dems.

if it’s 4-4 and Roberts Recuses himself, Trump wins. Technically right now there are 3 Leftist Justices and 5 Conservatives, assuming Roberts doesn’t go soft. More troubling is in the event of a tie, the lower court ruling stands. So expect lots of shopping of venue, trying to get it to the DC Circuit,

 

[Shield Breaker]

I think it will energize the Republicans more. They're finally getting a chance to flip the SC.
