Mitch McConnell is ignoring her dying wish. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/09/18/reaction-ruth-bader-ginsburg-death/ He stole a Supreme Court seat from us in 2016, and now he’s going for another one. He didn’t even wait twenty-four hours. IP: Logged |

To not have another court justice seated, until a new president was in office (or, after this election). We were supposed to have someone up there, four years ago, and McConnell took that from us. Now he's trying to break a rule he made. http://www.cnn.com/2020/07/21/politics/mitch-mcconnell-merrick-garland-scotus-vacancy/index.html IP: Logged |

You've missed the point...again."McConnell circa 2016 also argued that Obama's pick of Garland was purely political. "It seems clear President Obama made this nomination not, not with the intent of seeing the nominee confirmed, but in order to politicize it for purposes of the election," McConnell said at the time."

The Senate and Presidency were opposing parties then, so it made sense. Now they are the same party, so a fast nomination makes sense. There have been several SCOTUS appointees in election years. This is nothing new. And you can bet the Dems would do the same thing.IP: Logged |

Nominating Supreme Court Justices is within the scope of authority and responsibility of Presidents. Confirming a President's nominations for the Supreme Court are within the scope of authority and responsibility of the United States Senate. There's now a vacancy on the US Supreme Court. Fill it.

Past time for the Justice Department to take off the kid gloves and start treating these morons to long prison sentences.

Donald John Trump, right now-- WITH this Option-- is being GIVEN a chance at Redemption. He can show himself as a confident strong Man, WORTHY of honor and dignity, DESERVING of leadership of this Great Country-- EARNING the valid and pure Love and Trust of the People ..... through Taking Righteous-Action---
By Honoring this Proven Righteous Woman's Last Request. If he (and they) do NOT HONOR her final wishes, this will be viewed as DESCRATION-- defilement of a righteous-woman who Served this Great Nation.
It will be viewed as though he smeared FECES on this righteous woman. Becomes a Loathsome man of DIS-honor. What a STAIN! Is DJT a "thief" ..... cowardly He has a GOLDEN CHANCE to turn things around for him--- HOW does he want to be viewed and remembered, in this New Jewish Year.
Will he DEFILE her? This is a HUGE TEST! He could change minds, and WIN the hearts of voters with this moment's decision. Has he 'no confidence' ???? Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a "righteous" woman. Can the image and memory of the man Donald John Trump be Remembered for the same? This is his CHANCE----- Will he Win as Beloved of the People? Rest and Blessings on her SOUL. IP: Logged |

I respectfully disagree, mirage. President Trump is moving forward with this. The Dems are going to contest the results of the election, so we need nine Justices in case it goes to the SCOTUS to decide. Two-faced RINO Romney will not support it. Neither will two Dem-leaning Republican women, Collins and Murkowski. So, this will likely be the first time ever that the VP has to break a tie with a SCOTUS appointment. IP: Logged |

I am just trying to understand, why is the country, or any politician beholden to RBG's dying wish?I am not being sarcastic or anything. RBG served her time with passion and did her thing and many people are grateful for her service. She can make any wish she wants on her dying bed, like any other person who is dying. But why is Donald Trump bound by it? Why should the republicans be bound by her dying wish? IP: Logged |

Yeah, but I am just trying to understand the argument about the dying wish. I have unplugged from politics and only recently came back (temporarily) when someone texted me about the passing of RBG. And I am reading all those things about respecting her dying wish. And wondering, where does that come from? IP: Logged |

There's an Honor Code having to do with Respecting the contribution of a person who has given their Life for the Cause of Others.Donald doesn't seem to understand what that is. He is not capable of knowing what Honor and Good Character is. I think his views of Veterans being LOSERS and McCain being TORTURED as being a LOSER is ABOMINABLE. NO HONOR. He doesn't KNOW what HONOR is. You can't 'give' ... what you don't have. Our Nation and Equal Branches of Government had until now, been run with persons of deep love for this nation. What has been happening is that persons who are not qualified for positions in Government have 'seized' her. They are running things by "what seems right in their own eyes" {scripture} rather than the Collective Good, and the Safety of all Persons within her borders, and in extension, as Doing Good for Other Nations that were not as-blessed as Ours was. What is happening is the UNBALANCING of the 3 equal branches of Government, Belagio. People without a Heart for the Nation ... people who are in-it ONLY for enriching their own friends and selves, have hi-jacked what USED to be run by an Honor Code. If you don't have a Conscience, and you don't see Others as equal as your own self, then the grabbing of power to do with it what YOU want is the barbarian coarse unrefined way.
All about me me me me me. Others have no value, and they can go ahead and die. NO Love of Life. What this means to myself personally, is that they want to DEMOLISH the Right of a Woman over her OWN body. There are MEN who RAPE their girls, their WOMEN, and are FORCED into bearing the seed of a REPULSIVE and EVIL act. What this means personally, is that they will prefer the seed OVER THE LIFE OF THE WOMAN!!! They FORCE incested TEENS -- YOUNG GIRLS to give BIRTH to their daddy's rape-fruit. They are pro-birthing.... NOT PRO-LIFE. Life goes all the way to the Grave. Demolishing RoeVWade is ALL ABOUT THE MAN ... ruling the BODY of the WOMAN. And THAT is The Fight. They want to go BACKWARDS. They want the enslavement of women again. NO choice. The MAN makes it. The WOMAN is REDUCED!!!!! to a seed-bearing ANIMAL, with NO Rights over what a MAN did to her. They punish the daughters, they look at the woman to BE the "victim" .. Glorifying the rights of the abusers and perpetrators over the life of a woman and a girl ..... EVIL IP: Logged |

Mirage, I am glad you came back and elaborated on your point of view. I didn't know there was an honor code for a president to follow the dying wish of someone who has made a contribution if it runs counters to what he has intended to do. President Trump was not elected to follow the dying wish of RBG. What if her dying wish was that he does not run for reelection? Can you please show me the honor book where this honor code is written? Asking without sarcasm. There is a lot I don't know about. IP: Logged |

Continuation @ Mirage: By the way, I do not agree that victims of rape should be forced to carry pregnancy to term. So I am with you on this. But it has nothing to do with the question of honor you posited. IP: Logged |

That was the whole purpose of the article, spread unsubstantiated claims that many people will believe regardless. It's like throwing some **** on the wall, and knowing some of it will stick. IP: Logged |

This right here is why the 2A needs to be protected and why gun control is not going to happen. U.S. House candidate running in CA-3, Tamika Hamilton, is hearing this also. quote: US House candidate, CA-3 I woke up reading messages about destruction to our communities if the justice seat is filled. Who does this hurt? Black & Brown communities! The word ‘Patriot’ isn’t reserved for republicans only. I’ve met plenty of Dems who love this Nation & want order. I will not be silenced.
