Hooooo boy, a Supreme Court vacancy in the middle of the campaign for 2020 would just about be more than this country could handle.

First will be the Merrick Garland precedent. How dare we confirm someone when we should let the public decide who gets to fill the seat. Then if McConnell can hold the caucus together on that question, the fight to replace an ultra-liberal icon with an ultra-conservative like Amy Coney Barrett will make the Kavanaugh confirmation seem like a cordial affair. The left will go thermonuclear. The idea of a court solidly tilted to the right will cause shock and panic on the left. RGB is so lionized by the left and her position on the court is seen as so important to the left's strategy of implementing their agenda through the judicial branch that I think we would see riots and even violence on a scale not seen since the 60s

Fun times they will be.

An opening on the SCOTUS right now would distract the left from their current trajectory- Orange Man Racist, confiscate all guns, etc. It would be the best possible thing for us because all of it would be put aside while these wild-eyesd maniacs chew off their own limbs.

Easy guys, she's still here.
If it plays out it could be a game changer, or not.
Not all of the recent picks have followed the script.

I'm at parade rest, man. I am saying, quite simply, that if this is it for Ginsburg, it would be to our advantage.

They say she beat pancreatic cancer, but it doesn't sound like it. It sounds as if the cancer slowed or went into remission for a time, but now is back. My feeling is that she will be gone in less than six months. In the past, it has certainly looked that way for her, so she may still be kicking when I am in the ground. Just a feeling I have, but I think that ol' Ruthy is in her endgame.

She will be gone. A new SCOTUS Justice will be in. And President Trump will stay in the White House another 4 years.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I heard it here first!!

What will be interesting is to see if the leftists are stupid enough to try the same failed smear tactics as those they used against Kavanaugh. I'd wager that after that shameful fiasco, a lot more people in this country are attuned to the bullshit these phonies pulled. Also, you can bet that the Trump administraion will be beyond careful when choosing their nominee. They'll do their best to choose someone who is as close to bullet proof as possible.

I wish no harm on the woman. I may not agree with her but she is living history and a tough old girl. Honestly I think she’d be a hoot to have a drink with and have a discussion.

All that said if she passes or steps down the left will.....


LOSE THEIR SHIT!!! I mean epically. I mean political Chernobyl. If nothing else it will be entertaining.(the shit show not her death/I would take no joy in that)

They already did a trial run of their strategy on Brian Buescher: attack the Catholic for being too Catholic to make a ruling without consulting church dogma. They didn't get enough pushback to discourage them from doing it again, even though he got confirmed.

Coney Barrett will be confirmed but there will be blood, some during, more after, I reckon.

They'll be slobbering on themselves, speaking in tongues and chewing off their own limbs. They'll run full speed, face-first into brick walls, tear out their hair, jump en-masse off of cliffs, assuming there are cliffs from which to jump. They'll drive their cars into the ocean, or a lake or swimming pool, whatever body of water is nearest. They'll stab tthemselves in the face with screwdrivers and declare all of existence null and void and an offense to the Universe itself.

It will be the most spectacular pay-per-view event in history, never to be equaled.

Half-Human, Half-Robot Justice Enters Supreme Court, Introduces Self As Ruth Bader Gins-Borg

(The Babylon Bee)

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Yesterday after the United States Supreme Court opened and justices began filing in, a half-robot, half-human with the face of Ruth Bader Ginsburg entered wielding an arm cannon, body armor, enhanced retinal targeting, and an integrated jetpack. “I AM RUTH BADER GINS-BORG. PLEASE PROCEED,” the cybernetic justice said to her colleagues, then reclined in her provided Windsor chair which was instantly crushed under the weight of her new cybernetic body.

Overall, Gins-Borg performed well, never falling asleep or showing any signs of fatigue. “She didn’t even blink,” said Judge Sonya Sotomayor who claims the cyborg justice stared at her for a large portion of the proceedings with one empty, soulless eye. At one point Sonya quietly whispered into the vacant robot woman’s ear, “is that you in there Ruth? What have they done to you?”

Some concerns were raised when an abortion bill was brought before the court and Ginsborg began repeatedly shouting, “TERMINATE. TERMINATE. TERMINATE!” Technicians were brought in and, after a brief reboot, court resumed as usual.

“Any concern that Ruth will be resigning her chair can be put to rest at this point,” said lead technician Robert Cornell. “She’s now running on the most powerful lithium-ion battery in the world, is plated with titanium body armor, runs on an Intel Xeon processor, and can get a strong wifi signal practically anywhere.” Ginsborg’s technicians believe she will remain on the court centuries after everyone on this Earth is dead and gone.

Ginsburg made history as the second female appointed to the court by Bill Clinton in 1993.

Her death will unleash a whole other level of TDS. The Democrats will re-invent themselves into something entirely ungodly different. "Out of control" doesn't even begin to describe it.

It's in their nature. The shitstorm will be one for the ages.

I can’t say it better, these are my feelings on the matter. On one hand lies the balance of our republic, on the other, I dare not contemplate right now.

So what you're saying is they would turn into the fast-moving zombies as in World War Z. That's some scary stuff!!!

I disagree with just about everything she says but, I wish her the best in her battle. Cancer sucks.

That doesn't surprise me at all. I'm friends, or at least friendly with many people in different parts of the political spectrum from where I land on any number of issues.

I'd like to see Justice Ginsberg retire and focus on her health. I disagree with many of her judicial opinions, but I respect her, and more importantly I neither wish her ill will nor wish her anything but the best of luck in this fight of her life.

Might as well wish Hillary to confess to her sins and crimes.

RBG will NOT retire. Given her "performance" in recent years, she logically should have retired 5 years ago.

The ONLY WAY she will leave her seat is to die. If/when she becomes incapacitated, she will still hold on to her seat.

+1

I can't stand her but cancer is something that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

You can bet that, were RBG to leave the Court after 31 Dec 2019, the Left WILL invoke the Merrick Garland incident and insist that the precedent of not confirming a Justice during a Presidential Election year be honored.
