Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died this evening surrounded by her family at her home in Washington, D.C., due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer. She was 87 years old.

RIP tough old lady, thanks for fighting the good fight for so long.

Shame. Guess all the creeps online I've seen for the past months, and the last few years really, yearning for her death, even trying to spread false rumors, finally got their way.

McConnell better keep his his old jowls from flapping and not be a hypocrite and uphold that view of not selecting a judge before an election.

you really expect that turtle looking M'fer to do the right thing?

Nope. Not at all. I'm sure he's you-know-whatting on himself over it tonight, even if it's just dust.

If the roles were reversed, do you really think the left wouldn't do the same thing, if given the chance?

Don't know, but since McConnell set that precedent then maybe it's just best kept no matter who is in office. Yes, including the next time it might happen again with a Dem president. Or at least set a reasonable cut off date. (Though I'd rather just do my other thought of balancing it. Not necessarily replacements, but over time get that worked out.)

Lord knows this battle is not what we needed added to the crap and tension 2020 has so far brought us. (What's next, the biggest snow storm in several centuries for half of the nation? An asteroid? I'd say just burn it all down already, but the western side is already trying that approach.)

Spoiler: And no, before any right wingers/leaners come in and start things, I don't want to pack it with liberals, but given the fact it's a lifetime appointment I fully believe the supreme court should have to reflect the nation better and be better able to fairly serve it with 3 each of Right, Left, and Moderate justices. Rather than allowing for a drastic imbalance in any direction that we can't get out of and the public has no say in. Last edited by IndigoErth; 09-18-2020 at 07:55 PM.
