Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dead

Not sure how congressional rules will work and if the minority can delay long enough or not.

Murkowski and Collins are likely to refuse to vote.

Scalia liked her a lot. I doubt a nutjob like Trump could do so.

Had Scalia been a justice when Ginsburg was arguing women’s rights cases before the court throughout the 1970s, he certainly would have have voted against her. He wrote the solo dissent to her majority in U.S. v. Virginia, the opinion that ended women’s exclusion from the Virginia Military Institute, and formed the capstone of her lifelong fight for gender equality. “This is not the interpretation of a Constitution,” Scalia complained, “but the creation of one.” Scalia bitterly opposed the Supreme Court’s gradual recognition of rights for gays and lesbians; Ginsburg was the first justice to preside over a same-sex marriage. Scalia referred to the Voting Rights Act, the law protecting ballot access for the historically disenfranchised, as one of several “racial entitlements” that Congress would be hard-pressed to end; Ginsburg ferociously dissented when the court gutted it.

And yet. One former clerk told us Scalia was Ginsburg’s favored souvenir shopping buddy when they traveled together. On a trip to India, they famously rode an elephant, with Scalia sitting up front. What about feminism? “It had to do with the distribution of weight,” Ginsburg deadpanned slyly. They shared New Year’s Eves with their families and friends: “Scalia kills it and Marty [Ginsburg, Ruth’s husband] cooks it,” recalled one guest, former Bush solicitor general Theodore Olson. “I never heard them talk about anything political or ideological, because there would be no point,” Ginsburg’s grandson, Paul Spera, told us. In 2010, when Chief Justice Roberts announced Marty’s death from the bench, Scalia wiped tears from his eyes.

“If you can’t disagree ardently with your colleagues about some issues of law and yet personally still be friends, get another job, for Pete’s sake,” is how Scalia once described their lifetime appointments. “As annoyed as you might be about his zinging dissent, he’s so utterly charming, so amusing, so sometimes outrageous, you can’t help but say, ‘I’m glad that he’s my friend or he’s my colleague,’ ” Ginsburg said. Sometimes, she said, she had to pinch herself to not laugh in the courtroom when Scalia said something audacious.

They are very chummy with each other as they sell the Constitution out.

These people are really bad people.
 
Really sad & depressing news. Condolences to her family & friends. R.I.P.

The court won't have a close vote on any controversial issue for decades. It will be conservative for a long, long time.
 
You are correct we will need one more.... after the coming election one may grow balls!

They can’t vote before.

If the D's take both houses and POTUS then UTOPIA will be birthed, there is 0% chance SCOTUS gets in the way, these worthless fucks will not save you.
 
Off to watch Harlots with a Woman...a Really good show!

It is from England not Hollywood, which has a lot to do with that!

And the left is claiming we are moving toward totalitarianism.

Both are drama queens.

There is no equality, the left claims all day long that Trump is an authoritarian even as he is the opposite, even as the Left drives constantly for authoritarianism.

One side is an Evil Immoral Abuser, the other side is not.

Fuck false equivalence.
 
there is a danger to the right here though that people dont see. I think if Trump nominates somoene to replace the dead and fails to get him seated then the voters will come into election day demotivated.
 
I hope part of Ginsburg’s legacy will be exciting the Democratic base and ensuring Trump* is removed.
