When I clicked on this thread again, yours was the first that I saw.

If the Republicans do get an appointment through before the election and Biden chokes during the debates, the left will probably become super demoralized

Showing to all the world just how dishonest the entire republican party is. You know the one. The one that held up Obama's appointment for over a year.

Pathetic Russian Troll.

But then I'll bet Trump has already called Putin to see who the nominee is going to be.

Alright, let's roll back civil rights, roll back worker rights. The future is bright.

But Rancid. It owns the libs! Think about how hard the libs will be owned when the minimum wage is abolished!

I won't ever get a good nights sleep until abortion is made illegal across our great land.

Another thing about the demoralization. After all of the riots and looting that have already happened, plus COVID lockdowns, I think normal people are definitely not going to be OK with "shutting down the country" over the Supreme Court.

A woman with whom I had little political agreement with, but a classy lady who didn't let differences in political philosophy get in the way of her relationships--she was a close personal friend of Scalia, after all. I imagine he was waiting for her.

When she was nominated for the lower court the Democrat senators felt that she may be unqualified for being a judge because she is a Roman Catholic. That is the authoritarian tendency of the left.

If Trump and the Republicans do push for a vote before the election, and if she's the nominee, it'll be interesting to see Democrats try to explain their anti-Catholic bigotry with an ostensible Catholic as their presidential candidate.

Reactionaries: Identity politics is bad.

Also-Reactionaries: This woman checks off all the right identity markers. She is 100% lib proof and they will be forced to rubber stamp her. I am a very smart person who sees my political opponents as robots who accept binary inputs.

A fine woman of great courage and intellect. May she rest in peace.


I fear for America. This event will add fuel to the hatred, chaos and fear that already grips the land.

Nice take. I've been reading that Biden is already struggling with Catholics. Going nuts on another Catholic SCOTUS pick would presumably hurt him there even more.

Here's President Trump's reaction on hearing of Justice Ginsburg's death:

Trump calls Ginsburg an 'amazing woman,' learns of her death after campaign speech

President Trump called the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg “an amazing woman” Friday night and had no immediate comment on filling the vacancy on the high court.

The president learned of Justice Ginsburg’s death after speaking at a campaign rally in Minnesota.

“She just died? Wow. I didn’t know that. You’re telling me that for the first time,” he told reporters before boarding Air Force One at the rally site. “She led an amazing life, what else can you say? She was an amazing woman. Whether you agree or not, she led an amazing life. I am sad to hear that.”

She was 87 years old.

Despite the lack of comments by Trump floating a replacement, we know he will soon make that a priority. They won't apply the same standard that they did with Garland.

I am curious to see how Trump supporters will justify that one.

Perhaps redbaiting Obama, or doing a whataboutism.

[blackjack21]

Ginsberg was certainly a deep thinker, but too much of an advocate on the bench for my taste. However, she did get a lot of things right. The recent
United States v. Sineneng-Smith is an example, along with the 44 9-0 smackdowns of the Obama administration. It's a real loss for the left, as Kagan, Sotomayor, and Brier are nowhere near her caliber.

Alright, let's roll back civil rights, roll back worker rights. The future is bright.

You know the Democrats are passionate about illegal immigration and outsourcing. Joe Biden is China's pick for the White House, because he's friendly toward outsourcing. I fail to see where Democrat court appointees have been a beacon for workers rights over the last 30 years.

Another thing about the demoralization. After all of the riots and looting that have already happened, plus COVID lockdowns, I think normal people are definitely not going to be OK with "shutting down the country" over the Supreme Court.

Well, this is certainly another situation where the leftists will lose their minds, and perhaps turn to even more violence. Two years of Nancy Pelosi's rule have shown how little she gets done and how much trouble she causes.

If Trump and the Republicans do push for a vote before the election, and if she's the nominee, it'll be interesting to see Democrats try to explain their anti-Catholic bigotry with an ostensible Catholic as their presidential candidate.

Indeed. However, there are a lot of Catholics on the court. Whatever happened to protestant jurists?

This event will add fuel to the hatred, chaos and fear that already grips the land.

Thankfully, it grips the land where the Democrats are prevalent for the most part, and leaves the rest of us alone.

[SpecialOlympian]

"Hypocrisy is fine if it benefits me."

Note: There is no ideological end goal for the average reactionary beyond owning the libs.

Why? What will they miss?

No appointee in recent times seems to care about working people.

[SpecialOlympian]

Gorsuch straight up ruled against a dude for refusing to freeze to death in his big rig truck because it broke down during a delivery. But apparently he really is a contractual literalist, since he expanded the law to include gender and sexuality under discrimination of sex.

They made sure not to fuck it up again by getting a drunken, rapist gambling addict who they likely have tons of dirt on for the next nominee.

[Wulfschilde]

Hey guys, remember when Justice Scalia died near the end of Obama's term and Obama didn't nominate a new Justice because his term was almost over? It goes both ways.

This is you guys right now:
