Ruth Bader Ginsberg Dead at 87

It's good news, this will get out R votes for POTUS and Senate far more than D votes and if McConnell keeps his promise and confirms a replacement before the election it will seriously demoralize the Demoncrats.

That was my first thought as well. The key will be getting the "moderate" (read statist) republicans to actually vote for the nominee before the election... mainly Collins and Murkowski.
 
RIP. Gloating over a death (especially since she's a fairly prosaic liberal) is ghoulish and soul-rotting.

The GOP will cave, in all likelihood. They have no ability to wield power. They keep waiting for the Dems to repay all these favors. They'll probably be guilted into waiting until after the Democrats steal the election.

I shall gloat and trust GOD to give her a true and just reward of her deeds.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said unequivocally Friday night that President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee to fill the vacancy of late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg “will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

“In the last midterm election before Justice Scalia’s death in 2016, Americans elected a Republican Senate majority because we pledged to check and balance the last days of a lame-duck president’s second term. We kept our promise,” McConnell continued. “Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year.”

McConnell added that “by contrast, Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary.”

“Once again, we will keep our promise,” he said. “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

In May 2019, McConnell, R-Ky., made clear that should a vacancy materialize in the midst of the 2020 election cycle, the GOP-majority Senate would likely “fill it.”

McConnell’s comments last year were met with criticism from Democrats who accused him of hypocrisy, based on the treatment of former President Barack Obamas Supreme Court nominee and D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals chief Judge Merrick Garland.

Obama nominated Garland to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away in 2016, but McConnell and Senate Republicans refused to hold a hearing or vote on his nomination, citing the imminent 2016 presidential election.

Speaking to Fox News last year, McConnell suggested his stance was not hypocritical -- because in 2020, Republicans would control both the White House and the Senate, unlike Democrats in 2016, who controlled only the White House.

Nothing to see here, just a CNN-affiliated Muslim cannibal planning open violent sedition on social media.
 
I turned on the local news here in NY and it was 7 minutes of RGB worship, followed by public school and teacher worship called "The State of Our Schools" (despite where I live we have the highest paid teachers and school property taxes in the nation). I was saying how much I hate NY after this but I suspect everyone else is being subjected this kind of RGB deity coverage?

They are showing these vigils as if she is going to rise from the dead in three days. I have had enough, TV will be off for a week.
