Ruth Bader Ginsburg died......

Just saw it on the news. Sad for family. Get ready for a possible huge political fight.......

arricle

Wow!! This is going to get interesting.

Yup. The election just got kicked up a couple notches.

Did the Clintons have a hand in this ?

Notches (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), it's going to go full on nuclear!

The democrats are getting ready to do an unprecedented level of cheating to steal the election. The only possible way biden can beat President Donald Trump is by cheating.

Ginsberg's family said that Ginsberg said “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed.”

Keith

100% guaranteed President Trump will choose a woman to replace RBG!

Chris

Politics aside. RIP


I appreciate anyone with such determination and grit.... Even a foe.

Would make sense and an easier confirmation.

Interesting dilemma.

IF Trump does not ram his choice through prior to Nov 3.

Election is contested, Trump landslide on election night but "mail in" swings Biden and it ends up in the courts.

Eventually a Bush v Gore scenario in the Supreme Court.

Where will Robert's stand?

Could it be a 4/4 split?

Trump has no choice, he has to go for it.

Can democrats stop him before Jan?

Identity Politics is the democrats' thing...


Thoughts and Prayers go out to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her family.

Smartest analysis I've heard so far.

Very interesting.....I hadn't thought of that. Supreme court has had to decide an election before, what happens if.its a 4-4 decision?

This mail in business might get there before the election.

Makes this election that much more important, you knew she wouldn't make another four years. And now it's really up for grabs.

Trump wins and he might get to appoint four total.

The side with the most firepower wins.

House of Representatives, Trump's backstop.

At first blush it looks like a Biden win with the house under democrat control. However, read the fine print.
Per the Constitution each STATE DELEGATION GETS A SINGLE VOTE.
Republicans hold the honor of holding the majority when counted by delegation.

... not a chance... they probably shared inside jokes spoke in Yiddish

Trump doesn't have the votes in the Senate the way it sounds.

He may have even less after January. The Senate races this year don't support much hope for many flips. Two that do come to mind are offsetting
Jones in Alabama and Snowe in Maine. At best he holds the status quo at worst he loses a couple. I hope I'm wrong and he gains seats but I doubt it.

JMO, but it's an opportunity to put shaky candidates like Snowe on the carpet by forcing them to take a pro Trump stance.

Of course we all know the traitor from Utah will attack the president no matter what.

It's also why it's guarateed the choice won't be Cruz or any other Senator as he can't afford to lose a single vote.

Wouldn't it go back to the previous court's ruling in that case?

Agreed. Didn’t like her in the least but I admired her for this.



Owl

I'll be honest I'd like to see her replaced with someone from the Trump administration just as much as anyone. However, when Obama nominated Garland going into the 2016 election everyone was astounded that Obama would even consider calling a new justice just prior to the election. Doesn't seem fair that Trump rams one down the pipeline now.

Suppose there's any chance he can slip Jeanine Pirro through the cracks?

Yea,,cause the Dumborats have been so fair to Trump for the past four years.

^^^^Since when have the Democrats played fair?

supposedly a woman on trumps list. mid 40s, 6 or 7 kids. i wonder how "mean" the dems would be towards a woman.

Yeah now is not the time for fair play. The other side has shown nothing but disregard for any precedent or "fairness".

But ramming one through could be the nail in the coffin if Biden wins to see the left adding however many justices to the SC as they think they need to secure the majority for decades.

I've never said they have played fair. I just find it ironic those hoping to rush one in were likely those that adamantly were against Obama doing the same thing. Just an observation, call me old school, but how I was raised it wasn't an option to sink to the same depths.

Fight to win, no 'fair' involved in that.

When they promote and even fund the riots and burning,,no holds barred any more.not a matter of lowering to their standards,,,matter of survival now.

Mitch mcconnell says if Trump nominates someone, they'll receive a vote on the senate floor. This is getting exciting fast.

I was against everything Obama did.

That'd be amy barrett. 5 biological kids and two adopted kids from haiti.

They are using an addled old man with dementia without shame. They are supporting BLM terrorists. They would have no problem destroying a woman.

Hillary for supreme court if biden wins.

News said Trump will more than likely appoint one and mitch McConnell will hold the vote asap

i dont think it would be so easy to use the same tactics on a woman, that they tried to use on Kavanaugh. it was all sexually based lies. seems it would be more difficult with a woman. they would have no MORAL ISSUES with trying to destroy a woman, i just feel it would be more difficult, and theyd fail.

One big difference is Obama at that stage was a lame duck President while Trump is vying for his second term.

Chris

Yep. She didn't want to keep her position to do a good job. She just wanted to occupy the position.

Fair? What would Schumer do?

Whatever he was told to do.

This is the best argument I've heard in opposition to the obvious hypocrisy.

Regardless of the hypocrisy, I want Trump/the Senate to push through a nominee.

To say the least!!!

AMY BARRETT! There is not a better choice!

I can't believe that they announced that she died. I figured that they would have packed her on ice until after the election.

I can respect that argument Chris. Just pointing out an observation. I hope she's replaced quickly as well. I do enjoy the right to carry my firearms.

Perhaps those who are progressive leaning in their ways of man - and who don't in any way believe in the historic resurrection which happened 2000 years ago - have not quite declared total defeat yet.

They may be holding out hope until about... this Sunday evening ... until about mid-night.

Just to see if they can report on a miracle!

What was that movie.....weekend at Bernies, or something like that. That's what I would have expected the demonrats to do!

Wouldn't it go back to the previous court's ruling in that case?[/quote]

Actually, I think if no decision then you're right the ruling under question (which I assume would be a state Supreme ruling) stands.
The House option only applies if no majority is reached in the electoral college.

I think the best course of action is for Trump to quickly nominate Amy Barrett. This will cause the left to riot in the streets and completely melt down. I think this will cause even more people to reject the left. After the election, win or lose, move forward with the confirmation in the senate.

I see my post was deleted so to whomever deleted it let me be more clear. When I referred to the death of the political lefts' most powerful tool I wasn't referring to Ginsburg, I was referring to the liberal held court.

I deleted it because I felt it was in bad taste.

He should nominate judge jeannie and watch the liberal heads explode.

Sorry for her family. She was definitely a tuff lady. Trump should nominate Amy Barrett and be done with it.

It would sound like popcorn all over the country

It would be nice if a judge that was nominated had an actual record on some of the major issues that SCOTUS has been quiet or flat wrong on. Look back a lot of the recent judges by Trump and Bush and see how scant the records of those judges has been and see how thats turned out for us.

FYI, the next oldest at 82 is Breyer, another lib. Thomas 78 then Alito at 72. Kagan and Sotamayer and Roberts are in their 60s, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh 50s.

If the three oldest die or retire in the the four years the possibility exists for Trump to name six justices all in their 50s for a 7-2 conservative court for at least a couple decades.
I imagine the impact of such a court will be felt well into the next century. This may well be the single most important election of our lifetimes, vote accordingly.

I thought Gorsuch fit the bill but not sure. We need another Thomas or Scalia. Read the Constitution and apply it to the law. The swamp has a way of changing most. Vote the wrong way and get ostracized by the media day after day, not invited to the fancy DC parties and holiday get togethers with the in crowd. It takes its toll on most. Nobody wants to be “That guy or gal” Takes a special person to stand up to the pressure.

Just watched a news program and there have been 29 times that there was a vacancy on the court during an election year 8 times with the president and Senate from different parties nominee failed to be confirmed 1 times they did in 1888. Then you have today's situation where both the president and Senate are from the same party that happened 10 times and only 1 was not confirmed. The other times every president did nominate someone but they did say the outcome it may have carried over to the next term.

Trump will nominate someone and chances are they will be confirmed. Jmo

Spot on

I believe it was Obama that said elections have consequences and I am often reminded of what happened after he said that. Trump and the Senate need to make sure the Democrats understand as we did with the passage of Obama Care what that means.

The future of my family takes priority over RBG's last wishes. Her legacy of liberalism means nothing to me.

how do we know for sure that's what she said?? cant believe the media

Who ever he nominates,,they have to be a hard core pro constitution,,especialy gun rights.

She must have said it because they had signs made up at every vigil last night.lol The first story I read about her passing had pics of people holding them up. Boy that was fast???

Again, sorry for the families loss and RIP

I assure you, they have someone, probably a highly trained medical person, assigned specifically to her resting place,
watching,
waiting,
taking notes,
and texting into headquarters
every half hour,

hoping there's a miracle.

But it's not Elijah
It's not Elisha
It's not Jesus
It's not God

So I'm absolutely sure,
that highly paid watcher
can clock out early on this.

He needs to get Trey Gowdy in there by any means necessary.

I totally believe it is.

Yes!!!! Trey Howdy is the man!

^^^^ You know, that would be quite the show on the confirmation hearings!!!!!!
Old Trey is rapid fire now, and he LOVES a good clean brawl.

I don't get the love for Gowdy. He's a rino. People love his antics when he puts his prosecutor hat on but he's no conservative

Ben Shapiro or Ted Cruz to replace her.

Three years ago, McConnell led the successful effort to obstruct Obama's choice of Merrick Garland, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

McConnell's reasoning at the time? It was important for the Senate to "give the people a voice in the filling of this vacancy" by waiting until the new president took office.

Whatever it takes to keep another liberal anti-2nd whack job off the court.

I am tired of Republicans limiting themselves to the Marquis De Queensberry rules, when they're in a street fight with the H-E-double toothpick's Angels.

True, but other than just semantics that will make this one interesting it is meaningless.

That was before light was shown on the lengths the democrats went to, to gain power.
Game on now!!!

You really do have to admit, our country's founders were darn insightful. Men fight? Prideful people bicker? Monarchy on earth a threat to liberty?
We better set it up so 3 branches fight, instead of that darn king in Great Britain giving us orders all the time, and only a fiddle-faddley parliament fighting over his rule, and doing nothing all the day long!

I wonder who the first one was to offer in the room; "Hey, let's set up 3 equal branches, executive, judicial, and legislative, and let 'em ALL fight it out. At least it'll consume the oxygen in the room as they do, and things will not be the same as this bloody English monarchy thing.

They were really brilliant, were they not?
Because fight these 3 do.
And that's a good thing.
For all of us.

Unless, you like new everything, each time we have to say, "Long live the king!"

Blessings,
Mark

Democrats in the last 3 1/2 years have spent like fifty sixty million tax dollars, mine and yours trying to undo Trump's election with multiple bogus investigations. That might be water under the bridge with some folks, but it for sure ain't with me.

This is a war, the regular folks like most of us, against the elite who can't allow themselves to be stripped of power. That's why they hate Trump so much, it's what he represents, a future where career politicians aren't necessary.

Trump is going to have a hard battle.

There are 53 republicans in the Senate and he needs 51 votes. Four RHINOs have already come out with statements that they won't vote for a nominee until the next president is seated: Lisa Murkowski (AL), Susan Collins (ME), Chuck Grassley (IA), Lindsey Graham (SC).

And the worst one, Mitt Romney (Pier Delecto) hasn't come out with a statement but you can be sure he will do everything he can do harm the president. He'd vote for RGB again just to stick it to Trump.

I agree. Sick and tired of the hypocrisy of both sides.

Thats how I see it too. I think Lindsey could be convinced to cast a yes vote with some arm twisting, but no way the others you mentioned are going to entertain the thought. Especially Mitt.

Obama was just leaving that for Hillary, If they the election was going to be close, they would have rammed one through

I sure can't find anything to argue with here.

You gotta admit though its a brilliant strategy-using capitalists own money(taxes) to destroy capitalists.

You people on here from Alaska better get your senator Lisa Murkowski in line. She is a weak link. It would be advisable to start calling and emailing now.

That s for sure

I wonder if Historians will look back on the last 2 or 3 Supreme Court decisions prior to Ginsburg's Death, and question if she was of sound mind; when she made her decisions . With her having had Pancreatic Cancer, she had to have been loaded up on some serious pain meds. Could a case be reversed if a Supreme Court Judge was later found to not be of a competent sound mind, because of severe illness ; that ended up resulting in the Judge's passing ?

I wouldn't hold my breath!!

I think you nailed it. The dems listened the propaganda CNN was reporting as news and it bit them on the butt. How much more fitting of an end could we possibly hope for LOL

No,

But the RINO Republican Senators can,

You know.

The Never Trumpists.

w

JMO this Nov a vote against Trump (no matter how you justify it) is a vote against hunting / trapping, the 2nd amendment, and America herself.

Change my mind...

Trump Rocks !!!

w

That's what I thought you said LOL. Now if the rest of these dang children would do their homework before Nov.

I would think, unless I'm misreading the mood of the country, that a RINO who steps wrong against Trump in this will face an unenviable backlash.

Maybe James will try to change your mind. He recently refereed to President Trump as "swine" on a thread about the President receiving a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. He also infamously wrote the he would "vote for any Democrat with a pulse" before voting for President Trump.

Sadly, there are more like him here on this forum and millions of them across the Country. And they are going to do their best to steal this election or, at the very least, delegitimize trump's second term just like they did the first term.

I'm sure some of those senators will remember that it was the appointment of Kavanaugh that saved the senate in 18 from flipping.. 538 has Dems slightly favored to win the senate prior to the news

It's good I missed that troll or I'd probably be on vacarion. LOL

Providence has always been at work;

The famous "Tapestry of the centuries" at the Dallas Museum of Arts.



Even when we can't fathom what/why/which/who/when?

Joseph gave the divine providential answer to his brothers, who had done evil, when they discovered him still alive in Egypt;
"As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive."

The story proceeds according to Plan.

Chuck Schumer said in 2016 that 17 justices had been confirmed during an election year. Let's vote. He is now calling McConnell a hypocrite.

It doesn't matter if she said it all that matters is that her seat gets filled by this president.

Trey Gowdy???

He's one of the biggest RINO's there were!
There's a reason the Republicans like Nunes, Jordan and McArthey were stopped at every turn when trying g to uncover the Obama spying scandal and it was because of Paul Ryan(speaker of house) and Gowdy(head of oversight committee) that wouldn't ok any subpoenas. Not a single one for the two years the Republicans had the house! Let Nunez swinging.

He had everyone fooled like Graham does now. Next week, next week..yea right.

What was the name of that one, um,
you know,
the man who was a
great Nobel peace prize winning, um
remember,
the man who said in 2009;

“Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day I won.”

Oh, what was that man's name......?

And it begins.

No, but the RINOs can (and will!).

Liberal turning right!!!

This dude is a libtard that has been choking on a red pill for a couple years now. He's not very intelligent, though he thinks he is. I find him amusing to watch. He doesn't realize that he's middle right heading towards conservative at a rapid pace. He's a kid, in 20 years he's going to be hard right.

Let's pray Providence allows this situation to work to the benefit of the life of the unborn.

Trump asked those at his rally in NC if they wanted a man or woman on SCOTUS. The crowd cherred for woman. Trump just said it would be a woman and he has several wonderful and smart Woman on the list

Pelosi has made it very clear she thinks the house has veto power over the executive branch.

Pelosi should have to pass a breathalyzer before making a public comment- just sayin...

Pretty shure she gets an EARLY start each day on the cocktails.

Dems,media & libs have their heads exploding already. Some are calling for riots, some want McConnell's house to burned down

This may not end well, these people do not get what they want and they will burn down dc. They have been allowed to riot and burn all year which has only emboldened them, at some point severe actions will need to be taken to get control of things and then the republic of laws can function. I just do not see how any of this ends without lots of violence. The time will come when either you just let them take over and form a government of who they want that functions however they like it to or you need to swat em down like flies. I just do not see the greatest country on earth going out that way so swatting it will be.

Now the dems have show their cards by saying "if" Trump gets a replacement thru and they win the senate in November they will retaliate by immediately changing the SCTUS to include more judges. Who are they kidding? This is their plan all along they just did not talk about it. Take over politically, take over the judicial and then the USA that I love will be gone....Just look at the dem cities and you see the future for the whole country if you let these pos's take over.

SCOTUS has not been a protector of peoples rights or the parameters set by the constitution, for a very long time. It is about as apolitical as a congressional committee.

^Yes, ruling's based on your 'beliefs' is not ruling according to the constitution. The fight for the USA goes to the highest levels and the liberals have been grinding away and winning most of the battles in recent history up to 2016. If they get a hold of true power again they will just simply take over unless a civil war stops them.

If Trump appoints and the Senate confirms now ( which they should do) , Trump will lose an important election issue. Decisions? Decisions?


Just looked! Trump appears to be falling backward in recent polls.

Just another win. And with luck he'll get another in his second term.

Got 4 milk toast republicans in the senate that vote with the democrats so ya'll settle down, won't be any new SC justice seated till after the election. I imagine Biden will chose O Crazy Cortex.

Nicki Haley for the Supreme Court!

That's a big nope from me.

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

Spot on Boco!!!!

Trump might not be there after the election so leave your mark for decades with another appointment.

Is that the same polls that had Hilderbeast winning until 10 Minuites before Trump won?
