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.

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.

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.

Disgusting.

Someone here pointed out that yesterday was the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Also known as the Feast of Trumpets.

Trump steps down, Pence names replacement, Pence steps down, Trump takes office.
Wish fulfilled.

Day late, dollar short. Good riddance.

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.

You have no idea who RGB was then.
