Who the fuck did she think she was? Some dutchess who gets to decide who gets to rule her Duchy for her after she is dead? Her position on the Supreme court was not hers to do with as she pleases.
The Constitution is what we will be using today, boys and girls, not the dying wishes of an ego maniac.
This is all a misunderstanding. She had an heirloom rocking chair that her great grandfather built in the 1600s. She just wants to make sure it stays in the family for generations to come. Some relatives would be hawking it at the next garage sale, and Ruth wouldn't let that happen.
I don't understand people who hate the constitution.
And don't get me wrong, I am by no means saying it is perfect... but do these people not see the extremely glaring and obvious downsides to not having a relatively unchanging document like the constitution?
Like, do they think whatever country elects a same party president and super majority in congress/senate should just be able to do whatever the fuck they want with no checks and balances?
Do they not know how Nazi Germany happened? Venezeula? Almost any authoritarian government/dictatorship in the history of mankind?
Remember when pelosi tried to use Ted Kennedy's death to try to foist the ACA on us-? This is par for the course for them, using death to get their way regardless of good taste or basic decency.
I'm actually fairly sure she has been dead a while. They likely delayed the announcement to make it as close to the election as possible, just so they could pull this stunt.
The former president also nodded to Ginsburg's reported statement to her granddaughter before her death that her "most fervent wish" was that her replacement be named by the next president.
Oh give me a break. This is theater. It's all set up as a way to attack Trump and Republicans if they try to nominate someone before the election is concluded.
But then why announce on a Friday evening? That’s typically the time you politicians announce shady shit that the public won’t ever here about because they off having fun on the weekend
This is one of the most significant political developments in modern history, friday, tuesday, midnight or 7 pm it would not have been forgotten or buried. Lol a people saying this.
They can hide detrimental information through a Friday release and have often done so, but if their party controls the entire MSM, they can keep this in the news cycle until the election.
You can get your seat filled the way you want. Justice Kennedy did that. The catch is you have to swallow your pride and retire while working with a friendly President.
Remember when the commies threw a shit fit because Kennedy was giving instructions for how he wanted his seat filled?
Same commies that now want Ruth's made-up instructions followed.
I don't think that's true. I think it's because she was receiving the BEST medical treatment available and if she left the bench they would have let her die. It's a sad thought but probably a reality. She just didn't want to die.
Just went through this with my 85 year old mother, who commented how genius it was the way the constitution was designed. She is right, it’s what has allowed this country to be the greatest nation in history. It’s what has allowed us to lead the world toward freedom and thrive as individual citizens, each having a real opportunity to accomplish what we are willing to work hard to accomplish, without the opposing forces of tyranny. As the left tries to pull us further and further from the constitutional principles, solely to gain more specific power, the spectre of tyranny begins to show itself every time. They think they can control the monster of tyranny and ride it’s back, but we only get closer to a complete collapse of our society, where the monster eventually takes over everyone, and freedom to live and succeed are obliterated, accept for the few in power.
The fact that we are all talking about RBGs death in such powerful political tones demonstrates again just how far we are drifting from the purpose of the constitution. This seat needs to be filled quickly and by a justice that will uphold the constitution, period. The late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2016 said “nothing in the Constitution” prevents a president from nominating to fill a court seat.
You have a good point. It was certainly the desire and will of the framers and those who pioneered this country that made this nation great. A document is only that without soul of the individual behind it. No argument there. Without the constitution, however, the spirit of those early Americans would have been short lived after their generation died off. Maybe you are more optimistic about the general nature mankind than I am. Without general rules, laws and a code of principles to allow for the flourishing of individuals, I believe societies fall apart. Organized religion somewhat also held things together as well for a long time, but that has unfortunately really fallen apart. I would submit that the movement away from Constitutionalism, Faith and Family have allowed our nation to fall apart. Where I think you are really into something though is the fact that the left are attempting to move our country further away from Individualism toward Collectivism and that is counter to our spirit as a nation and what has made our country powerful.

Well then, I guess she should have kicked the bucket/resigned when you were in office. But I have news barry, the scotus seat, the seat in the oval office, every seat in washington BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! So take your, and rbgs wishes roll them in a nice tight ball, and SHOVE IT STRAIGHT UP YOUR ASS!
Exactly. Kavanaugh was their chance to show grace and civility to build bridges so that if a time like this came, the other side would be understanding and perhaps grant leniency.
Instead they showed callousness, evil, and selfishness, so now they reap what they've sown.
"The court's decisions in the coming years "are too consequential to future generations for courts to be filled through anything less than an unimpeachable process," the former president said."
Well there you go, they're already threatening to impeach whoever we put in if they ever gain power again.....
The coming landslide, despite their cheating, can take that power away from them. Four years of conservative controlled congress and the white house can get this nation thriving again. The beautify of the constitution is how it has a tendency to self correct swings to the far left and far right. The greater the swing, the greater the correction. And while it's foolish to be complacent, I firmly believe November will be a landslide so great that no amount of left wing fraud can stop it. They dug their own grave.
Amazing optimism. Complacent is definitely not recommendable, that's for sure.
I hope things can right themselves over the next few years.
A good portion of the country is finding themselves further and further left ideologically though and I don't think that's going to stop. Sadly, I don't think the constitution can save them.
They may have dug their own grave but they certainly aren't lying in it, and before they do, they want to burn it all down with them.
The Presidency of GEOTUS is Obama’s legacy- without Obama’s incompetence and corruption the presidency of Donald Trump would not have been possible. Thanks Barry!
CNN Breaking News: It has been confirmed by 4 well known anonymous sources, that, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had inserted into her Will that her seat must go to a Liberal. And as most of our viewers are well aware of, Will's are legally binding.
I'm leaving instructions here for 0bama to go fuck himself. If this country wasn't run by a bunch of weak cunts this traitor would be in gitmo until he died.
Lol as if Democrats would hold that seat open. Bitch please. The simple fact is that had Democrats controlled the Senate Garland would be a justice right now. This was nothing more than politics by McConnel. There is no law. Dumbass. We’re at fucking war here.
Besides that the point about a likely contested election is spot on. We can’t have a split court for this election.
Screw her. She fucked around instead of retiring when Obama was in office, thinking Hillary was surely going to win, well she found out. Nothing more just and it would be great if a arch conservative woman (and so can't be blackmailed as easily like Roberts) were to replace her.
It doesn't, but it would be a plus in a number of ways...
women are not as easily blackmailable because society incorrectly assumes they are innocent of everything...example: it is a fact fewer women are sexual predators and therefore are going to be assumed innocent of such crimes
women are not as vulnerable to "honey pot" type traps
RBG was female therefore replacing her with a female wound be a demonstration of Trump's support of female jurists
women live longer than men usually so a good one will result in more years of favorable decisions if installed at the same age as a man
She's not royalty, C-level executives don't even get that luxury. She's not special, she is a part of the system that functions to run the country, and she accepted that.
If justices were just following the law and not an agenda it wouldn't matter who nominates and confirms them Ruthie. If they are another legislature then it matters a lot. All she did is make clear her partisan legacy.
Rumor has it Scalia, who died with a pillow on the face and received no autopsy, left instructions that all future seats be filled by origonalist justices.
Fact is "instructions" superseded constitutional law now.
It's not HER seat, motherfuckers. It is OUR seat that she was shitting in - pun intended.
I do pray for her immortal soul and mourn for her family. That does no at all mean the constitution goes out of the window because of a bunch of liberal fee fees.
Anonymous sources have told me that Antonin Scalia left instructions to avenge his murder by having Hillary and her co-conspirators tried and hung from the radio mast on top of of the Sears Tower.
Barry can have a big ol cup of stfu. So much for peaceful transition of power. Four fucking years of this Manchurian turd and his cronies undermining a duly elected President. SUCK IT!
Umm, so Obama and the rest of the currently convulsing commies expect us to believe that the woman who had been dying of cancer for years, and who told them to shove it when they asked her to step down under Obama, on her dying bed whispered her last words to her loved ones: "Don't let Trump fill my vacancy" Bwahahahahahahahahahaha...gasp Bwahahahhahahahahaha...
"A basic principle of the law — and of everyday fairness — is that we apply rules with consistency, and not based on what’s convenient or advantageous in the moment," - Obama
If she didn't want Trump filling the seat, she had every opportunity to retire while she was still alive and let Obama fill it with a reliable, loyal liberal activist.
Says the man who pounced to have Scalia's seat filled with a Judge Scalia would have been appalled by. And probably had Scalia murdered in the first place.
I'm sorry Barry, Ruth, but it does not work that way. Justices do not get to leave their seats to whoever they want in their wills, because they aren't THEIR seats.
It isn't Darth Bader's seat to will away upon death. It isn't up to the Dems to cancel the constitution to fit their agenda. President Trump and the GOP senate have every constitutional right to fill the SCOTUS seat left vacant. RBG had every opportunity to retire during the Obummer years but chose to hang onto power. The price of doing so has now cost her party dearly. For that, I actually taink her.
Stupid Obama and Dems! For all their talk of "democracy" they like fascists in a Monarchy! The Office of President, Supreme Court seats, and other public offices are not ruled by succession!!
Election! 2016!! YOU LOST! ACCEPT IT!! We elected the President and he will select the Supreme Court nominees!
Wasn't she the justice with the pocket book? USA has the most brilliant and terse constitution in the world. Practically fitting on 6 pages. And RBG needed a pocket book to look up the 14th amendment.
Who the fuck did she think she was? Some dutchess who gets to decide who gets to rule her Duchy for her after she is dead? Her position on the Supreme court was not hers to do with as she pleases.
The Constitution is what we will be using today, boys and girls, not the dying wishes of an ego maniac.
Ruth doesn't get to put her Supreme Court seat in her will.
i love this comment, so hard.
To the one NPC who downvoted this comment...
I’m happy you did because that means you are reading the comments, and you may end up red-pilled if you stay long enough.
This is all a misunderstanding. She had an heirloom rocking chair that her great grandfather built in the 1600s. She just wants to make sure it stays in the family for generations to come. Some relatives would be hawking it at the next garage sale, and Ruth wouldn't let that happen.
She’s not a queen! That seat is our seat.
I can't believe we are at a point in this country where this is even a topic of serious discussion.
But, its an emotional argument, so its the only argument the Left is going to use.
^ ^ ^

I think the issue is they do know how those places happened
Disgusting.

Someone here pointed out that yesterday was the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Also known as the Feast of Trumpets.
noteable
From this day forth, this day shall be known as the Feast of Trumpedes.
Edit: Does .win have a "remindme" function?
This is one of the most significant political developments in modern history, friday, tuesday, midnight or 7 pm it would not have been forgotten or buried. Lol a people saying this.

Trump steps down, Pence names replacement, Pence steps down, Trump takes office.
Wish fulfilled.
You can get your seat filled the way you want. Justice Kennedy did that. The catch is you have to swallow your pride and retire while working with a friendly President.
Day late, dollar short. Good riddance.
Remember when the commies threw a shit fit because Kennedy was giving instructions for how he wanted his seat filled? Same commies that now want Ruth's made-up instructions followed.
Hillary was "supposed" to win.
The left, unironically, thinks like this.
Feudalism 2.0.
Then she should have left office when Obama was President.
Right?
Everyday the left surprises me, even more
She was in love with her celebrity status- an engaged ego is hard to overcome.
I don't think that's true. I think it's because she was receiving the BEST medical treatment available and if she left the bench they would have let her die. It's a sad thought but probably a reality. She just didn't want to die.
You have no idea who RGB was then.
If I recall the founders left some instructions as well.

Exactly roe v wade aka abortion should be decided in the legislature not the courts.
The people and culture made this nation great. Without the culture, there would be no Constitution.
And now that our people and culture are fractured, we are falling apart even though we have the Constitution.
People and their culture come first.
You have a good point. It was certainly the desire and will of the framers and those who pioneered this country that made this nation great. A document is only that without soul of the individual behind it. No argument there. Without the constitution, however, the spirit of those early Americans would have been short lived after their generation died off.

This is untrue. The people made the society. The Constitution didn't make them.
America existed before the Constitution. That one document isn't all the law that existed before or after. Most of life didn't change all that much.
My point is all this flows out from the people and their culture. A good culture governs itself, document or not.
Point taken
You misspelled cunt as "late"
RAYCISS! BIGOT!
Huwhite males!
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Yeah, it's called the constitution but these commies obviously don't understand it.

Why haven't the Mods nuked your account yet? You are a spamming bastard from hell.
Obama laughed at the assassination of Scalia
Well then, I guess she should have kicked the bucket/resigned when you were in office.

So take your, and rbgs wishes roll them in a nice tight ball, and SHOVE IT STRAIGHT UP YOUR ASS!
It would fall out. Big Mike has him split like the Grand Canyon.
🤮
This! My civility went out the window at the kavanaugh hearibg. Fill that fucking seat Mitch!
This! They screwed the pooch with that horrific, disgusting display. Gloves off!
Exactly. Kavanaugh was their chance to show grace and civility to build bridges so that if a time like this came, the other side would be understanding and perhaps grant leniency.
Instead they showed callousness, evil, and selfishness, so now they reap what they've sown.
Obamacare did it for me, this term has cemented it in forever.

If we lose the senate, we lose the president. They may skip stealing POTUS and fraud in half a dozen senators.
Amazing optimism. Complacent is definitely not recommendable, that's for sure.
I hope things can right themselves over the next few years.

Its been four years since I had to give a shit about what Obama says.
I didn't really give a shit even then, to be honest.......:)
I struggled to ignore the damage he was doing. I enjoy watching GEOTUS gleefully undoing Obama’s shitty legacy.
The Presidency of GEOTUS is Obama’s legacy- without Obama’s incompetence and corruption the presidency of Donald Trump would not have been possible. Thanks Barry!
CNN Breaking News: It has been confirmed by 4 well known anonymous sources, that, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had inserted into her Will that her seat must go to a Liberal. And as most of our viewers are well aware of, Will's are legally binding.

Exactly. They're mad that Cocaine Mitch played politics and won.
We need Ramen Guy’s expert legal opinion here.
There’s only one set of instructions.
Good day sir, you lose!
Huge pet peeve of mine when seats are vacated. It isn't Ginsburgs or Senator Smiths's or Congressman Deeznuts... it is owned by We the People.
So low class. Now that he's not in power, you see how whiny ant petulant he is. Low-class Barry.
And just like that, white liberals forgot BLM.
Now maybe the fires will stop.
Bader loves Moloch?
Screw her. She fucked around instead of retiring when Obama was in office, thinking Hillary was surely going to win, well she found out. Nothing more just and it would be great if a arch conservative woman (and so can't be blackmailed as easily like Roberts) were to replace her.
Why does it have to be a woman?
It doesn't, but it would be a plus in a number of ways...
women are not as easily blackmailable because society incorrectly assumes they are innocent of everything...example: it is a fact fewer women are sexual predators and therefore are going to be assumed innocent of such crimes

Least of all should instructions for "her seat" be carried out by an ex-president
Better than a 5-4 with her
He’s the Pied Piper of the Left.
Rumor has it Scalia, who died with a pillow on the face and received no autopsy, left instructions that all future seats be filled by origonalist justices.
Fact is "instructions" superseded constitutional law now.
The primary duty of the Judicial branch of government is to Legislate...
Especially after death!
Sorry traitor Barry, this is a nation of laws, not make a wish foundation.
This 100%
It's not HER seat, motherfuckers. It is OUR seat that she was shitting in - pun intended.
I do pray for her immortal soul and mourn for her family. That does no at all mean the constitution goes out of the window because of a bunch of liberal fee fees.
They're fucked and they know it
No one left any instructions. It's all a lie. Do we have a notarized copy? No? Oh it's just some shit some girl made up for attention?
The constitution left instructions too.
THIS!
Anonymous sources have told me that Antonin Scalia left instructions to avenge his murder by having Hillary and her co-conspirators tried and hung from the radio mast on top of of the Sears Tower.
Barry can have a big ol cup of stfu. So much for peaceful transition of power. Four fucking years of this Manchurian turd and his cronies undermining a duly elected President. SUCK IT!
She's not fucking Robert Baratheon, lol. I swear the left lives in a fantasy reality created by Hollywood.
Who’s seat?
Our seat!
Umm, so Obama and the rest of the currently convulsing commies expect us to believe that the woman who had been dying of cancer for years, and who told them to shove it when they asked her to step down under Obama, on her dying bed whispered her last words to her loved ones: "Don't let Trump fill my vacancy" Bwahahahahahahahahahaha...gasp Bwahahahhahahahahaha...
I mean, that’s not how it works.
Fuck her and fuck Obama too. It's a celebration!
Sorry, you don't get to "leave instructions". You don't "own" your seat on the bench. When you leave you have no say in how it's filled.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
If she didn't want Trump filling the seat, she had every opportunity to retire while she was still alive and let Obama fill it with a reliable, loyal liberal activist.
No take backs!

#accepttheresults2016
I'm pretty sure the founding fathers left some instructions on how her seat should be filled.
She also left instructions on how to make it legal to fuck 12 year olds but I don't think we should follow that either.
These assholes.
Wasn't she the justice with the pocket book? USA has the most brilliant and terse constitution in the world. Practically fitting on 6 pages. And RBG needed a pocket book to look up the 14th amendment.
Anti constitutionalist to the very end.
The whole "Notorious RBG" thing kinda got to her head.
You are goddamned right it is!
These Leftists need to be brought back to school, they still think they own the United States.
