The Supreme Court has announced the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the age of 87 from complications due to metastatic cancer of the pancreas. The 2020 election is officially in hyper-drive…
SCOTUS – Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died this evening surrounded by her family at her home in Washington, D.C., due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer. She was 87 years old.
Justice Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Clinton in 1993. She was the second woman appointed to the Court and served more than 27 years. She is survived by her two children: Jane Carol Ginsburg (George Spera) and James Steven Ginsburg (Patrice Michaels), four grandchildren: Paul Spera (Francesca Toich), Clara Spera (Rory Boyd), Miranda Ginsburg, Abigail Ginsburg, two step-grandchildren: Harjinder Bedi, Satinder Bedi, and one great-grandchild: Lucrezia Spera. Her husband, Martin David Ginsburg, died in 2010.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. said of Justice Ginsburg: “Our Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice.”
Justice Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, March 15, 1933. She married Martin D. Ginsburg in 1954. She received her B.A. from Cornell University, attended Harvard Law School, and received her LL.B. from Columbia Law School. She served as a law clerk to the Honorable Edmund L. Palmieri, Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, from 1959–1961.
From 1961–1963, she was a research associate and then associate director of the Columbia Law School Project on International Procedure. She was a Professor of Law at Rutgers University School of Law from 1963–1972, and Columbia Law School from 1972–1980, and a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences in Stanford, California from 1977–1978. In 1971, she was instrumental in launching the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, and served as the ACLU’s General Counsel from 1973–1980, and on the National Board of Directors from 1974–1980. She was appointed a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1980. During her more than 40 years as a Judge and a Justice, she was served by 159 law clerks.
While on the Court, the Justice authored My Own Words (2016), a compilation of her speeches and writings.
A private interment service will be held at Arlington National Cemetery. (link)
Don’t let us down, Senate. You have your jobs to REPRESENT us
https://mobile.twitter.com/_BrainWavez_/status/1307122919609438211
The last 15 weeks of 2020 will be America’s craziest (and possibly the most violent) since the Civil War.
Since the FIRST Civil War.
There’ll be violence after the election regardless. The only question is how long it’ll last, and what the historic ramifications will be. Trump wins, and the usual suspects will go insane… Antifa, BLM, and their buddies will take their riots to the highest level. But that’ll only last a few days, will be squashed in the harshest way possible, and their time will be OVER for now and forever.
On the other hand, should they someway fraudulently “defeat” Trump… well, that’s when this country will descend into all out civil war. There will be no inauguration of Biden (or whoever) in January. The country will be unrecognizable by that point, and so the makeup of our various branches of gov’t will be the least of our worries.
Ha! Six new progressive judges, but you want the republicans to wait for the election….
I don’t think that this changes anything.
Everyone knew Ginsburg could go at anytime.
No one could realistically believe any nomination could get confirmed in the six weeks before the election.
No one could believe that Ginsburg could live another four years.
So, we’re right where we were yesterday with whoever prevails Nov 3 (you’ll notice I didn’t say “whoever wins”) will nominate her replacement.
I think anyone who is aware of the significance of the SC would already have picked their team and is not sitting on the fence.
Disagree. it opens up a bunch of new avenues to cheating, senate control, and open civil war.
K SARA SARA. don’t know if i spelled that right. they want a fight, so be it.
Que Será, Será
It’s francais.
Great movie! Hitchcock.
When Ginsburg was nominated the confirmation process was completed in 50 days. President Trump needs to point that out, make his nomination, and Mitch & co. need to do their jobs.
This changes everything. If election results are challenged to the scouts, Republicans must have the bench stacked on their favor.
Oh to be a bug on the wall at the Clintons’ house tonight…the third nomination that slipped through her grasp.
I bet she’s ordering her booze by the truck full now!
Prolly looking to lay a pipeline from Russia…
As the Great One {Jackie Gleason} used to say
‘How sweet it is.’
Murkie from Alaska and Collins from Maine say they won’t vote until after the election or inauguration.
I gotta think Collins will definitely lose if she doesn’t support a replacement. Murkie isn’t up for re-election this year.
Graham and Grassley have said in the past they wouldn’t take it up in an election year. Graham needs to know he won’t win re-election, if he doesn’t take it up.
I think Dems would be demoralized, if we act to replace. Republican voters will be irate if they don’t
Graham will take it up, and McConnell will make Murkowski and Collins publicly vote not to confirm the nominee. Public statement are one thing, but a vote on the record is another.
What a mess, par for the course for the RINO’s.
That is not what was said. Garland happened during Obama lame duck and McConnell simply followed precedent which I believe Biden had a hand in matter decades earlier. Ginsburg passing is completely different situation as it happened during the first term of President Trump who according to logic and if you believe in fact and not spin is very likely to win a second term.
The senate being of same party of the current President will not let SC Justice vacancy wait til after November 3rd and allow possibility of 4-4 tie be an issue in a Presidential election that the Democrats have openly stated for the last year they will contest no matter what.
Any senator who is up for re-election now or in 2 years & who will not use this serendipitous “Trump card” are undeserving of any place in the history books except with an asterisk in the footnotes on the last page of the last volume.
Murkowski & Collins are FDR DEMOCRATS, THEY FAVOR SOCIALISM LITE.
Romney is a eunuch Sasse is untrustworthy & lacks wisdom & Grassely is well past actuarial tables for re-election.
Graham has zero convictions, whatever will get him over the finish line.
THEY HAVE ZERO BUSINESS ACUMEN. THEY OVER TREAT EVERY ISSUE and are always on the wrong side
They,are the “Whiners” on SNL ..thorns on a dying rose.
I know some Democrats that were planning to sit this election out because of Joe Biden.
The high-voltage media on this could wake them up enough to hold their noses and turn out to vote for him anyway.
So not the best timing. But we shall see.
Agreed. they could care less about Joe but the SC is everything to them given they know that it allows them to do as they please without a democratic process.
Ironically, Biden is a frail Presidential candidate, just as Ruth has been a frail Justice for the last few years. He seems much older than 78. Her death highlights Joe’s biggest vulnerability.
Does that logic still work if the repubs manage to confirm a new justice before the election?
Will also shake loose some people that don’t want to vote for Trump. Conservatives know what kind of justice he nominates, so I expect that will be enough for some people to decide to vote for him.
Why? Did they not realize she would be dead next cycle? She wasn’t going to survive four more years with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Makes no sense.
Yet I know you’re actually right in your assessment. Dems are f——g crazy.
They didn’t think SHE would lose.
Which is exactly why you push it through. SO then they are demoralized, their voting wont matter on the subject and you’re prepared for their legal tantrums.
Here is the Hillary Clinton quote that needs to be circulated everywhere TONIGHT:
The Trump campaign should show her saying that (for a campaign ad).
I can’t watch shannon breem. Ever since i seen her on the steps of the Supreme Court reporting “gushing like a little lovestruck school girl” that gay marriage was “THE LAW OF THE LAND!” Now she looks like she’s gonna cry!?
she must not have learned anything at liberty u. then.
She’s very annoying,.. a saccharine insincere whiner . She hates her hair & keeps chopping it off. & can’t wait to close her superficial show.
She masks her depression & her self hating attitude with her whining.
I have a strong spiritual umption that RBG has been dead for quite some time, like over a week. (weird yuk). I also feel like the politburo that is running Joe Biden realized that Pres.Trump found out knew that she was dead. The President has been working the issue of selecting his final replacement pick for a bit of time. I am just a regular guy and NO contacts, other than the Lord of Hosts.
I’ve seriously suspected that she has been dead for many months and that her opinions were being generated by her law clerks. Not sarcasm.
I have seen no credible proof that she was alive for about 6 months.
I was genuinely surprised that her death was announced. If a charade was in play, I figured they would keep it up for 4 1/2 years.
I agree and I think those same law Clerks came up with the phony final request of RBG to not vote on her replacement until there is a new president sworn in! why wouldn’t she put that on tape or a video.
We are supposed to believe some thirty-year-old lefty law Clerk?
Well with the bunch we face, they have no boundaries and all options are on the table.
when she died doesn’t matter. no contacts? you named the only one that counts. 🙂
remember…it was just 9 days ago that Trump released an updated list of SCOTUS nominees.
NOTHING IS A COINCIDENCE.
Someone was tipped off that the DAY was IMMINENT.
True
So, even if Mitch can’t ( or won’t) ram through a replacement, the balance will still be tilted toward conservatives for the post-election legal brawl, and maybe some pre-election questions like ballot harvesting, right?
If I were a conservative justice I would hire some good security!
Sound advice
SCOTUS has it own dedicated security force for personal protection. Think Secret Service/US Marshals dedicated to protect the building and it’s judges personally.
Trump will have to appoint an interim justice to hear the Election cases 800 commie lawyers will file.
I recommend Ric Grenell…..
Pompous twit
The left taking to the streets will help seal this election.
Why is he allowed to be on twitter?
Because he’s not conservative. Just another dime-a-dozen far left freak.
They ALL need to be rounded up and prosecuted for threatening destruction.
Sedition!
why are all the tough talking tweeters always say “we” and are soy boy pussies who would get pounded into a grease spot if they fought a person “one on one”.
They live in TV / Internet Land.
He’s a worm.

Arrest the prick NOW.
So it looks like the Murkowski quote is fake news –
https://twitter.com/Shem_Infinite/status/1307125387588251648
republicans still playing fair.
Democrats playing to win
This.
I teach self defense as a side hustle. Getting people over the false construct of fighting “fair” is one of the most challenging aspects. Guys in particular don’t like being encouraged to strike at the groin. Most get squeamish around eye gouging. Newsflash: everything plays when your life is on the table.
We need to deflate our sense of civility a bit and fight however we have to to win. The Republic depends on it.
Mitch says there will be a vote. She may want to rethink that since she’s already in danger of losing her seat
Mitch also controls the WAY they vote, too. He’s just more quiet about it and works stealthily in the background. It makes us think all Repub senators vote independently, but they do not.
They will go without you.
Sorry, but a president is president from the day they take office to the day they leave office. If the senate is control of the other party you can nominate and get declined. If it’s in your party you can push it through.
These people need to be removed from any form of leadership position. Even the board of their HOA.
Can someone refresh my memory please: Does she get a state funeral now? Thanks
She will likely be buried very soon, in accordance with religious law, but a public memorial service would be held later, probably at SCOTUS or someplace else in DC.
Thank you. I believe she must be buried within 24 hours? My husband and I were talking about “state funerals” and “lying in state”.
Doesn’t the obit above say the interment services are “private”?
What I’d like to know is how long was she living with pancreatic cancer? I know three men personally, who went from diagnosis to death in three months give or take a few days.
Steve Jobs lasted something like six years with the same thing. What is the treatment for these titans of culture, that isn’t available to us riff-raff.
I’m honestly shocked her death isn’t covid related. Seriously, I’m not being a smart ass. The pandemic has fizzled out. “RBG dies from/with covid” was the first thing I thought of when her demise was announced earlier this eve. Everyone knows she’s battled cancer (and won) multiple times. I thought for sure they would have attached covid to her death. And I’m curious like you—what meds, treatments do the elites have access too that we don’t? Do we even want to know?
Yes, for the Jewish faith, it’s 24 hours but Sekolo said it’s the New Year celebration from Friday – Sunday night so she’ll be buried Monday.
Due to COVID-19, no.
Covid only applies to Democrats when they want it to apply.
She’s being buried in Arlington national cemetery.
Likely there will be a huge memorial,but it’s vivid, so it will be delayed.
Likely in the house chamber.
There isnt a synagogue large enough.
Sic COVID , not VIVID. (Apple,did that)
No doubt she’s found out that an unborn baby is not just a clump of cells.
I wouldn’t want to be her right now as she meets her maker.
surrounded by little ones. i picture the Lord saying, ‘i sent this one to cure cancer, that one to cure diabetes . you offed them. look at their little faces, they are black.’
Ruth was a very selfish person. She thinks her bedside wish of no being replaced until after the election should carry some weight. All this does is highlight that she should have retired a long time ago rather than place 330 million people in limbo. Yet that is exactly what she did.
Only an egotist would take this position. Too bad she had to leave an unfulfillable wish as her last message.
Agreed. presuming that the seat is yours or that the people do not have a say in it… going out reeeeaaal classy, I see.
She though it was “her” seat. Reminds me of when Scott Brown was running in the special election to fill Teddy Kennedy’s senate seat, and David Gergen asked him, “How do you feel about taking the Kennedy seat?” or something like that.
Scott Brown knocked him back with, “It’s not the Kennedy seat. It’s the people’s seat.”
I’m a terrible person because I think she’s been on ice for months. Plus, I don’t feel any sorrow at all. She’s been kept “awake ” with the same crap they’re now injecting Sleepy Joe with. She snipped at the fabric of our Constitution’s Tapestry inch by inch.
And she wanted to lower the age of consent to 12!
Too bad for her that her last thoughts were worldly.
If she even said it. There are lots of people who would invent something to further the Leftist cause.
#karma
Do we have any proof this is what she wanted? This could be a complete fabrication. Anyway, It doesn’t matter the seat isn’t hers to give away.
She should have retired a long time ago but instead her untimely death has become an issue which will now embroil political controversy. Had she done right by her country, this could have all been avoided.
From the standpoint of the biggest reality show ever, more popcorn. If you thought the Apprentice was a success, look at the ratings success of the Trump Presidency. No day can be started without a Trump tweet update and coffee!
Blue checks on twitter threatening violence in broad daylight…
I present national pundit Reza Aslan:
https://mobile.twitter.com/rezaaslan/status/1307107507131875330
Yes, ain’t hateful, chilling, and violent rhetoric supposed to prompt a ban (or an FBI investigation if a garage rope is involved)?
In the last photo shouldn’t there be a star of David instead of a cross since Ginsberg was Jewish Unless she was messianic Jew but then you would have the cross and a star of David. That’s my understanding anyway.
Exactly my thought when I saw the cross. Regarding funeral plans, she’s to be buried at Arlington. When? I don’t know. Requiescat in pace, Mrs. Ginsburg.
Is this why suddenly we’ve seen a glut of the progressives finally mouthing condemnations of violence or changing their tunes? ‘Internal polling’ kept being claimed without actual links or info, but it sounds like this was not a sudden departure. Did they instead get a quiet word early this week about how the situation was shortly going to change again?
I don’t want to think ill of the dead, as we’ll all be there some day. Here’s to hoping she found repentance, even if it seems too little and too late for most of us.
To be honest, that time is long ago past. And we did not start this fire.
amen, Amen, AMEN. She wasn’t called Notorious for nothing.
I want a conservative justice NOW! I want one so conservative that he holds a seance to communicate with the Founders for the original intent in ALL rulings. Screw this waiting until after the election!
It’s all they know how to do – too bad the country has already seen them in action –
Yes, more riot/mayhem blackmail from he dems. Which will only help Trump win.
She could have been dead for a while only now they couldn’t hide it any longer. Doesn’t SC start their session in October?
The first arguments are in October, but the justices meet for conferences in September.

Favorable Tweet showing the humanity of our President already deleted.
Trump is just the BEST ever. Class act.
Interesting comments. Many are writing that they wish that PDJT always acted “human” like this.
PDJT is always “human” like this. He is a very compassionate man.
The MSM is doing a bang up job keeping people from seeing the real PDJT.
That being said, it was surprising that Yahoo news didn’t edit the video or spin it somehow. I guess they screw up sometimes and actually report things, without the propaganda spin.
Bummer.
May she always be known for the extermination and extinguishment of pre-born natural- born American citizens. And of course, her War on Women and her goofy transgender bathrooms. May she always be known for her aborrhence of the American Family Unit.

Justice Ginsburg dictated a statement before her death: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.” https://npr.org/2020/09/18/100306972/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-champion-of-gender-equality-dies-at-87…

I do not understand why people make those statements on their death bed. That seat—any seat—belongs to the people, not to her.
“INSTALLED” whoa
Nancy Pelosi actually wrote that. Ruth was in a coma and hopefully had different thoughts and regrets in her mind.
New President, how does she Know we will have a NEW President?
Is it in writing or recorded? How would anyone know she really said that not that it matters.
NPR?
I don’t believe that for a second… or if she DID say it, she was ENCOURAGED to say it so it could be used exactly this way. God I hate these people.
Sundance on Twitter said the GOP will never approve a nominee now.
Sounds as if Mitch is going to make everyone go on the record to vote a nominee down, and have to live with their votes.
LIndsey is definitely in the hot seat…
make it piping hot please !!!!!
Per her most ardent wish; it pales to the millions of aborted babies who also had an ardent wish.
Although I’d prefer Amy Coney Barrett, nominating a sitting senator (who’d agree), might be an interesting twist. Cruz has already said he was honored to be considered, but would prefer not to be nominated.
Let them vote against one of their own.
Only a few sitting senators could pass a background check, not to mention an examination of their financials. Seriously. Look elsewhere.
Can cruz vote for himself?
We cannot afford to lose a Republican Senator at this time.
Gone where the goblins go…

Based on Senator Graham’s past performance,
There’s a whole lot of distance between what he says and what he does.
*hate being the party pooper
IDK. He hung tough with Kavanaugh.
Someone please ask Murkowski and Collins if they will vote up or down on a eric Holder nomination. Cause if RBG is not replaced b-4 the election, the dems will most certainly steal this election! P.s. i wondered how GOD save our country.??
Mittens Delicktoe and Lisa Murkowski said they will not vote fo a replacement to RBG
Fake news on both.
I heard it was fake news on Romney but not Murkowski…where did you see that?
Nothing fake about if you look and see
https://twitter.com/shem_infinite/status/1307130340700495874?s=21
What a joke. Graham is always gonna do something till it is time to do something. He won’t follow through on this long ago hypothetical tweet.
Indeed. Perhaps Lindsey should be called Lucy.
?
Everything is chaotic right now and Dims are prepping for their over the top mourning extravaganza to be broadcast 24/7.
In the meantime, President Trump will implement the procedure that was decided upon some time ago while Ruthie was circling the drain. All Republicans, lame or not, surely want a Conservative Supreme Court. This is going to be very interesting. IMO. ?
Cruz just said “there needs to be a vote before the election”. GREAT!
McConnell released a statement saying there would be a vote (if the President nominated someone.)
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mcconnell-supreme-court-nominee-vote-floor
He could be an American Hero for Life if he would just admit that a natural-born American Citizen s a person born in America or under the American Flag to two heterosexual American Citizens.
Put a block on the government forms: ( ) Natural-Born American
We have a right to be recognized, too.
More importantly he asserted that 9 justices were needed in case a controversial election result requires a Supreme Court decision. No 4-4 split decision as to who presides.
Yes, exactly. He’s right.
Remember those protests that were scheduled and then called off for DC until the election??
I bet the protest starts at Supreme Court building tomorrow and stays there until Nov 3.
BLM, Antia and Dems (but I repeat myself) will hold that building hostage!!
She has passed from temporal to eternal-RIP
What is wrong with Fox. A Ginsburg love fest. I won’t cheer her death but someone needs to point out that she was majorly responsible for millions and millions of babies’ deaths.
And wanted to lower the age of consent to 12. Disgusting.
No, Do you think for one minute the Democrats would do that for a conservative Judge. Look how they treated B.Kavanuagh.
Senator Harris viciously accused Justice Kavanaugh of being a gang rapist. How’s that?These are the kind of people we are dealing with.
Need nomination and vote BEFORE the election.
Why?
Biden/Harris plan to challenge the election results.
If it goes before the USSC, like 2000, we want a 5-4 conservative edge.
This is huge IMHO.
Fake news on Romney.
Fifty votes plus the VP.
Next week.
We need a solid five votes to push back on the progressive election theft. Our Chief Justice has too many skeletons.
The death will make the Dems try their hardest to steal senate seats.
Ted Cruz just made a good point.
He said a justice should be confirmed before the election because the Dems are threatening an election by litigation and we can’t have a 4-4 split in the SCOTUS Court.
That’s what I was thinking.
Get cracking!
Soros paid for lower level court judges who will be ruling on election ballot issues in democrat litigation election. Want to let it stop there? Scotus court seat needs to be filled.
Troublemaker, It is in the Federal Constitution that the State’s legislature, not judges, decide election rules.
For Federal Elections?
BINGO!! Can you imagine replay of Bush v. Gore, with riots across every Blue state and city, with SCOTUS deadlocked?????
Fox’s Roberts just predicted major national problem IF POTUS nominates anyone!!!
Touche.
Coldanger, you can say God, it’s ok.
As usual, Biden takes no questions after the statement he reads. None. Zero.
The presidential debate on the 29th, with Chris Wallace, should be so much fun…
He can’t. He’s got full blown dementia.
can”t post here what I’m really thinking
so instead I will post this:

I think the “we can’t have a 4-4 court with so many election challenges” argument might be the way she justifies her vote.
