The feces are going to hit the fan harder than it has at any point throughout the Trump administration. If you thought the Kavanaugh confirmation was a fight, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. If you weren’t excited about voting before…
The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has given the election even more urgency than it had before. Yes, I realize that’s an understatement, but sometimes the simplest words are the best. Democrats have made no mystery of their plans should they ever obtain power again, and it’s not good for fans of individual liberty, personal responsibility, or just being left the hell alone by the government.

Excellent.
He speaks truth about Dims/ Communists, AND Justice Ginsburg.
On a side note: I saw about 3 mins of a CSPAN program yesterday. It was a replay of an earlier program, where Justice Ginsburg (and others, I would believe) were talking about the Court.
I was astonished at the tone of the interviewer, a woman. She treated the Justice like a little girl (sort of pandering and juvenile) and even more interesting, Justice Ginsburg ate it up. And I realized I had seen that scenario several times before.
As the article notes, Justice Ginsburg came to believe her cult status.

RBG should have retired the last year of Obama's presidency. We'll never know why she didn't, but my theory is she wanted to hand Hillary her first SCOTUS nomination after she was elected. When that plan went south, RBG decided to outlive the Trump presidency despite her many health problems. She almost succeeded but definitely wouldn't have outlived a second term. She's been a justice in name only (and a dead woman walking) for at least a year, and shame on her SCOTUS colleagues for sitting by and enabling her.

On the threat "Over our dead bodies", I say "Certainly hope so".

What is most tragic about this inevitable SCOTUS vacancy is the absurd hysteria that is ensuing regarding a replacement. If a referee at a football game has to leave they quickly replace them with another that knows the rules and acts in a fair way. The SCOTUS judges are referees for the Constitution and in a perfect world should be largely interchangeable assuming they are of good character and temperament.
Common law such as that practiced in the US and UK is weighted in favor of precedent and well reasoned prior arguments that can be compared and contrasted to current cases to arrive at a fair judgement. This is unlike Civil Law in much of Europe where judges have complete latitude to decide cases on their own judgement which is easily influenced by money or power.
The efforts by the Democrats to rig the game by installing their own ideologically driven activists judges on the SCOTUS goes against everything that the Constitution stands for and is a disgrace.

All Ginsburg had to do was resign from the bench when Obie was prez. Then Obie nominates his fair-haired activist judge who most certainly would have been confirmed. This failure to see the strategy is entirely on Ginsburg whose hindsight was always better than her foresight.

Since the first time I heard she was seriously ill after President Trump's election, I thought that Sister RBG stayed too long at the party. She should have hung it up 5 years ago when Obama could have replaced her with a reliable progressive. Even if Obama had a Republican Senate, those swamp-dwelling wusses would have felt compelled to reach across the aisle and vote for her (communist, socialist, progressive) replacement.
And if you have forgotten about those years 2012, 2013, 2014 etc, etc, etc, the Republican party was up to their ears in the slimy water of the swamp.

Covid is now officially over. Has anyone even mentioned it since Friday night?

She stayed in office even though she couldn't perform her duties so as not to give her job to someone that didn't agree with her. Bad Karma and a predictable ending underscoring her selfishness by not allowing President 0 to replace her 4 years ago. Small minded too.

Justice Ginsburg could have retired during Barack Obama’s second term and he would have had the job of nominating her successor, but she did not. Why? I think that she was waiting for Hillary Clinton to be elected so that Clinton, a known radical feminist, would pick her replacement, another radical feminist. That did not happen as both Ginsburg and the Democrats were shocked that Donald Trump was elected. Recently I think that Ginsburg was hoping that she could hold out until after Joseph Biden is elected in November, certainly no sure thing. With all the political maneuvering, Ginsburg and the Democrats against fell short, with Trump in the end nominating Ginsburg’s successor on the Supreme Court. Anyone still think that the federal courts are not completely politicized and have been allowed to become essentially a super legislature with lifetime appointments?

President Trump will have his nominee confirmed and seated on the SC if Republican Senators will support him. Only Republican Senators can defeat his nomination. Justice Ginsburg was confirmed in 42 days and she was strong with the American Civil Liberties Union. It's vitally important for our nation that President Trump's nominee be confirmed. If his nomination is d

Interesting side note. RBG replaced a “centrist” judge (White) who voted against Roe vs. Wade. Whoever President Trump nominates will be more in that mold than RBG was.

Exactly right.
No sympathy. This is REAL, not some parlor game, and the stakes are literally millions of lives and the entire future of our country. No quarter, no whining, fight as hard as you can, with every tool you have.

We already knew that one of the issues this election was about is the next (read “Ginsburg”) replacement. She was not going to remain on the Court another four+ years. The issue is certainly in sharper focus now.
I believe the President should proceed asap, this will, of course energize the Dem base but it will show what utterly corrupt the Democrat leadership is.

I believe PDJT already has a nomination in place, will be announced at press conference Monday.
This President is fully aware of deep need for sale of country the replacement of a SC Justice.. especially with the Democrat mail in ballots stealing of election-
Am I the only one not mourning the passing of RBG? As a woman, I don’t see her as my roll model- I have more derision of the ACLU, Planned Parenthood enabling justice.
I will not speak Ill of the deceased- and wish her family peace , but her rulings rarely favored the constitution. She became an activist in the worst ways-

FTA: "And that one Supreme Court Justice, any of them, should hold so much sway over the direction of the country shows how far we’ve fallen from the intent of our Founding Fathers."
Very good point...which only underscores how the Left has weaponized the SCOTUS into becoming their de facto substitution for legitimate legislation, using it to re-write the very Constitution they took an oath to uphold.
My personal top two picks: Jay Sekulow or Ted Cruz.

She was an activist that sat on the Supreme Court ruling to support social ills not the Constitution.

She was a power hungry witch, who fell right in line with the overall terrible political timing of Demonrats. She just couldn't step aside for the "liberal cause."
