[the cac mamba]

you know what the dems need to do? openly make the threat to pack the court if mitch goes back on his own words from 2016. say that if mcconnell doesnt follow his own rules, then they dont care about them either

its the only play i see. let mitch put a judge on, knowing he'll be signing onto packing the court

She didn't want to step down when Obama was in charge ... hope that documentary was worth it

RIP. I thought she had fully recovered for some reason.

She's 87 and had multiple bouts of cancer. You never "fully recover"

Before this thread gets any longer, I just want to point out, again, that RBG had 1 black law clerk her entire legal career and refused to let Obama appoint her successor.

Do with that what you will.

Ginsburg, on the other hand, has hired only one African American law clerk in her 25 years on the Supreme Court. This is an improvement from her 13-year tenure on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, when Ginsburg never had any black clerks. When this issue was raised during her Supreme Court confirmation hearings in 1993, Ginsburg said: “If you confirm me for this job, my attractiveness to black candidates is going to improve.” This remains a promise unfulfilled.

The calls for Ginsburg to step down began in 2011 when Randall Kennedy, a Harvard law professor and former clerk to the late Thurgood Marshall, wrote a piece in The New Republic gently urging Ginsburg, then 78, to retire while Obama was in office. (He had suggested the same of Justice Stephen Breyer, now 80.) Kennedy was publicly airing private concerns among Democrats that it could be Ginsburg’s last chance to be replaced by a Democrat.
What the cult of Ruth Bader Ginsburg got wrong

This was her response in 2014:
"Who do you think President Obama could appoint at this very day, given the boundaries that we have? If I resign any time this year, he could not successfully appoint anyone I would like to see in the court," she said. "[The Senate Republicans] took off the filibuster for lower federal court appointments, but it remains for this court. So anybody who thinks that if I step down, Obama could appoint someone like me, they’re misguided."

@Big Boss taking too long.
It’s over

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

shoulda stepped down when she had the chance. now we all gonna eat shyt

 

[Payday23]

We’ll see if they let the people decide again. I knew she wasn’t going to make it. Conservatives about to set us back 200 years.

Yep. Fukk

If R’s force this and it goes through the and Dems win The WH+Senate they absolutely have to expand the court.

They probably aren’t going to appoint her replacement until close to the election. As a boon to these vulnerable Senate candidates. But again, Dem voters and people who disapprove of Trump are fired up.

My gut says they do it in the lame duck. And if the Dems win the WH and Senate you will see Alito and/Thomas retire and be replaced by some 45 year old lunatic.
