    Wow, this came as a shock actually. May she RIP.

    And do you think the election just grew that much more important? I knew a seat would be up for grabs. but now we know the winner is going to assign someone ASAP.

    I rarely agreed with Ginsberg, assent or dissent, her reasoning was good though. She was very civil in all I've ever heard from her, I like that. She was good friends with Scalia, also a big plus in getting along with someone you don't agree with on everything, but still see what you do have in common. She'll be missed. Great role model for young people, succeeding when society said, 'You can't have it all,' but she did. RIP.

    To be honest, her death does not change even as little as even one iota of how much I totally despised her...
    She was political--and absolutely went against her oath of office in that respect. In fact all the female SCOTUS justices
    are extremely political.. They can not help it as that is the main reason each was chosen over dozens and dozens of more highly qualified male
    selections that were available for that most coveted and important position.
    Truth is , that she has departed this plane of existence is a boon to this nation.
    Any that think that harsh or takes offense to that truth - can just kiss a good man's ass.
    As I am just saying and staying with all of my previous words/and opinions about her.
    I do not ever play the insincere game of speaking good about people I so rightly loathed, just because they died.
    I didn't do so with the scum Ted Kennedy, John McCain, and now will not do so with Ginsberg.
    These are my opinions of her as a judge, as a SCOTUS judge and as a person that put her personal bias/politics above her sworn oath.
    I simply do not waver in my stands.
    If they are viewed to be harsh/cold-- then so be it. I stay true to myself and my honor.
    As I was taught to do by my father and my grandfather.
    Also , to me it is , a damn crying shame that such is not now the norm in this new, modern, liberally/leftist/dem corrupted USA, imho..-Tyr

    I was kind of hoping she'd hang until after the election just so we didn't have to deal with the shit-show that will certainly ensue...

    Default Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Dead At 87

    The confirmation process for her replacement will be a firestorm.

    Trump will nominate a conservative, and liberals will see that as a threat to Roe v Wade. Every conservative nominee has been seen that way. The nomination process will make the Kavanaugh hearings tame by comparison.

    I am sure that Schumer and Pelosi are, even now, cooking up some scheme to make the nomination process a bigger circus than the Kavanaugh hearings.

    If anyone fits the textbook definition of irredeemable and deplorable, it’s those two.
