Conscious of politics to the last, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reportedly dictated a statement saying it was her “most fervent wish” that her seat on the Supreme Court not be filled until after the next president is inaugurated in January.
Republicans are not likely to heed her wish.
Days before her passing Friday, Justice Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter, Clara Spera, asking that the seat remain vacant into the new year, according to NPR: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”

Not in her former job description. Amy Coney Bryant is the best choice and we need to rise up to support her, President Trump, and all Republican Senate candidates - but also take back the House too. This will bring people together - on the right - we must win this election to save this country.

LATE BREAKING NEWS: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg actually died on Wednesday and her chief doctor immediately filed a motion for summary judgment on her death but it was denied and the panel of doctors argued for two days until they reached a majority decision today, with several hold-outs filing a dissenting diagnosis saying the 87-year-old jurist is still “mostly alive.” The decision will be appealed.

The Constitution does not allow for Supreme Court Justices, alive or dead, to dictate the conditions for selecting their replacement. Justice Ginsberg certainly knew that.

How long did it take before Schumer 'demanded' that no replacement should be made until after the election? Of course, when President Trump wins, he'll be demanding that we wait because PDT is a lame duck President!

Democrats are n NO position to demand anything/
Trump was elected by the people, as were current members of the Senate. The Constitution gives Trump the unilateral power to nominate a replacement and gives the Senate the unilateral power to confirm (or not confirm) his nominee.
Pretty simple and straightforward, isn't it?

Her last action was to attempt to get elected officials to violate the Constitution. Didn’t care about what was written in that document any other time in her life. True to form to the end.

Her alleged last statement is consistent with her disregard of the constitution. The term of the president does not end at a date of her choosing most convenient to the Democrat party.

FTA: 'Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg actually died on Wednesday' As opposed to 'died for all intents and purposes two years ago'. Bad news, Zombie Skank: you are out of a job. Millions rejoice; dozens are ambivalent.

Ignore the broad's request...just like she ignored the pleas of people who are fighting for the unborn.
*still remaining silent* My Mama tried to teach me manners. I guess I'll use them this time.
Here's to hoping President Trump is successful in a nomination of a conservative to the USSC.

Did she think that she owned her place on the Supreme Court? I am sorry for her family that she died, but that does not mean that the country has to abide by her wishes. The Supreme Court seat is not passed down in a will.

“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,”
A very telling statement. She did not state until after the inauguration or until after the election or even until the next president is elected. She said a "New" president as in not the current occupant, as in let my death mobilize the left to steal the election so Biden can replace me.
Not your call Ruth.

She clearly had no belief in an afterlife, so her focus was only on this one. Sad.

Just think - she could have been enjoying a retirement with her children and grandchildren for the last 20-25 years. She had two children and four grandchildren.

She had an opportunity and was even asked by fellow liberals to retire but wanted her replacement to be named by the first female president. Unfortunately, from her liberal point of view, Hillary failed to campaign. Sorry Ruthie, that train has already left the station.

What about the election in 2016? We voted Trump President for a 4 year term, not 3 years and 8 months, meaning Trump has 4 more months in his first term, plenty of time to replace Ginsburg. Trump or the Senate are under no obligation to sit on their hands for the next 4 months.

Remember after Reagan left office and the communists were on one of their big gun control pushes? The poor guy was wrecked with Alzheimers and yet the political opportunists dragged him out to talk in favor of gun control. He had no more idea what he was saying than Ginsburg knew what she was saying. Its the hacks talking. Its a sad as the two cute chicks dragging George Burns out on stage with his cigar in his later years.

Sadly , we can count on Romney, Murkowski
and Collins - and probably Graham to cave. It’s just as well because Trump at least has a 5-3 edge in the event the election needs to be decided by the Supreme Court- assuming Roberts doesn’t fold.

Unfortunately, #36, Roberts is not one to have confidence in. His reliability rating is as low as Romney, Collins and Murkowski.

My guess is that RBG has been in a coma for several weeks and dictated nothing at all to her granddaughter. That statement, like all of Biden’s, was written by her staff and given to the granddaughter with orders to release it within minutes of Ruthie’s demise. A fraud in life and a fraud in death.

Justice Ginsburg was a lifelong liberal Democrat, so naturally she would want to be replaced by the nominee of a liberal Democrat President. Fortunately that was not her call.

RBG is trying to circumvent the Constitution one last time. A terrible, terrible justice. Since I never met her, I can't say what she was like as a person, but I have no trouble saying I hate her ideas.

The Wrath of RBG. "... to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."
With apologies to Melville.
RBG battled her way through life, accomplishing many things. However, she was an entitled liberal and she has absolutely no right to this request.

Wasn’t RBG the one who stated that it was the Senate’s duty to take up Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland in 2016 before Trump took office? As with everything in her jurisprudence, she had no objective standard for Supreme Court nominees—it all depended on time, place, and political party.
