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)
I still suspect she has been dead for awhile and they found they could not hide it anymore. This is not good news politically for the Dems. And since she was so political about everything, there is no other way to think about her death.
I remember her from Rutgers Law School. I worked there in college in the office when she worked there. She was a little tiny thing. She was friendly enough and didn’t seem full of herself. I wonder if Elizabeth Warren was a student there around the same time Ginsberg worked there.
My first thought upon hearing of her death was that this is from the hand of God to help President Trump. Maybe that sounds crazy to some, but I really believe that God gave us President Trump to save this country and bring it back to Him.
The unborn are a little safer today with this monster gone.
Have any of you scanned the lefty sites, twitter or any of these “post mortem” boards?
They are hysterical in their grief.
Some of the most outlandish “lamentations of the women” who will never again feel safe having an abortion to men whose femiinst ueterus(i? some seem to think there is more than one in females) are in permanent danger of being stripped out of them by conservatives.
you can’t make this hysteria up.
And I bet no less that 98% of them can name two thing RBG ever ruled on as SCOTUS.
All i can say is : Hallelujah
It’s likely that Lennie and Ruthie are in the same place now and for eternity. Imagine the fire being turned up a notch every time a woman kills her child thanks to the enabling from Ginsburg.
Oh, the teary eyed nonsense…even at Newsmax. Look, an enemy general is dead. Wonderful. We were singing Ding Dong the Witch is Dead on my patio last night.
Save the lamentations for someone who wouldn’t vote to let the anti aging industry harvest fetal tissue from newborns.
Save it for someone who wouldn’t affirm Newsome’s new law allowing 20 yr olds to seduce our 10 year old sons. May she rot in hell.
Let’s get on with it… we dont want to wake up all those tepid anti Biden dems with thoughts that they must defend CHOICE or homosexual marriage.
Somebody must have poured water on her. Time tor the same for Hillary.
Yes.
You want cringe? Go read r/witchesvspatriarchy on Reddit. They have just about the craziest, most cringey leftist nonsense over there that you can imagine. They recently hit the front page of Reddit in a post about casting spells to protect RBG. You can see how well that worked out….
Women have hysterectomies. Legend has it the uterus was the cause of hysteria.
Thirty million abortions of precious unborn children!
THAT…is her legacy.
???
rbg —– NOTHING CAN ERASE THAT HISTORY WHICH IS WRITTEN FOR ETERNITY!!!!!
Condolences to the Ginsberg and Bader families. Losing Grandma is always tough.
I expect President Trump will nominate Amy Barrett the day after Ginsberg’s funeral.
He should do it today. The country is more important than protocol about a funeral. RBG held on to her seat way past her sell by date for only political reasons.
Which is why they will have her lying in state for 6 months with multiple funeral services!
Doesn’t she deserve at least as many funeral services as career criminal, George Floyd? I think so. Her body should take a train trip across the country … with her very final internment service held on Nov. 2
We don’t need a woman for the sake of having a woman. I’m really tired of that mind set. All I’m concerned about is they have a long enough record you can look at and see if they will adhere to the law and Constitution. Gorsuch has already been a big disappointment lets hope that doesn’t continue.
Concur.
I generally agree, but think that realistically it will be a little harder for the dems/media to destroy a woman vs. one of the men on Trump’s list (conservative men seem to have no right of due process, as far as the left is concerned).
This is going to be so ugly as it is, so assuming their qualifications are comparable, I totally support Trump nominating a woman, such as Amy Barrett.
I highly doubt any of PDJT’s nominees have a history of bisexual 3-ways with subordinates … like that CA Congresswoman.
Who (Katie) is now talking about running again!
have a woman to avoid the Kavanaugh effect
That won’t stop the left. It will be very nasty for any woman nominee. These people are pure evil.
The Gloria AllDread unit doesn’t have cases against womens.
Won’t matter. Whoever will be interrogated with a verbal flame thrower.
Oh please no. I hear she’s a BLM sympathizer as a mother of brown children. And she folds after the first anonymous midnight call from the Deep State.
Can you cite a credible source? I am concerned about the Cuban lady. S. FL Cubans are notoriously lax on immigration, same-sex stuff, and other issues important to conservatives.
She could easily be a Souter.
Whatever they do no confirmation in person, use zoom and also no public inside the Senate Floor “because of Covid” So no circus. No paid screamers. They can gather outside but stay there.
Use the hell out of Covid to get what’s best for us.
Excellent strategy.
Agree!
Zoom is all about taking your facial recognition for the CCP.
Jackpot kleen!
Perfect!!
Hope someone in the Republican Senate gets this idea pronto.
IMO the amount of leverage and blackmail pressure that is going to be exerted over the next 50 days is going to be through the roof.
Every damning piece of personal information that these corrupt people have gathered and extracted from their illegal spying efforts such as the Hammer Program, the NSA Contractor Spying Program and the Congress IT Program during the years 2008-2017 will be used.
No stone or blackmail opportunity will go unturned. Nothing will be out of bounds. Every marker will be called in.
Now the good news.
IMO the left always go to far and I expect that in their quest to use every ounce of blackmail pressure to stop PT with his SC nominee, that somebody is going to crack and say enough is enough and comes forward to Barr with proof and evidence of their never ending blackmail tactics.
I expect it to be someone from Congress that finally steps forward and tells the truth how personal information has been leveraged for years to gain votes, positions, money and power by the left because…………
NOBODY SPENDS 8-10 YEARS GATHERING DATA ON PEOPLE AND DOESN’T USE IT.
Stay tuned!
Rubio should step up like a man, in the form of a confession, and let the truth be told. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the testicular fortitude.
Yes, but PDJT spent almost forty years making sure he was squeaky clean and there couldn’t be anything to incriminate him on by the left.
So, they can pull out all the stops and dirty pool but they’ll never bring him down legitimately.
One of my favorite scenes from “Full Metal Jacket.” A touching tribute to honor the passing of Justice Ginsberg.
It is amazing, reading through so many comments, where people’s reactions and conversations have gone with this woman’s death.
Americans are truly a wondrous and amazing people.
We the people spoke in 2016 and we elected TRUMP as our President. He is the President and will be at least until the inauguration in January. Until then we the people want him to nominate the next SCOTUS Justice. Period. We spoke.
This is the will the of people.
RBG may have been found with a plastic bag over her head. What a brilliant October Surprise… to bring back the tepid Dem voters.
If this is allowed to become a campaign issue… all the Intellectual Dark Web types will rethink their defection from BIden.
Rogan, Weinstein Bros, Rubin, Jimmy Dore, Tim Pool, Taibbi, Greenwald….- may bite the bullet and abandon their resolve to destroy the DNC in its present incarnation, in favor of a party they can support. THAT was the plan come Nov 3.
NOW? … I can see teary eyed suburban women rushing out to vote D to keep those nasty old republicans from taking away their CHOICE to kill their babies.
This is a disaster. Democratic ennui was going to make this a landslide. Now? not so sure…. IF McConnell goes wobbly on us.
Have to admit, that crossed my mind.
have a woman to avoid the Kavanaugh effect
Suburban moms had better look at the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing program, which would destroy local schools, property values, safety, and local zoning govt and control. It’s even worse now than it was in 2015-16.

occurs to me Biden is a liability as the debates get closer, he will be eaten alive by Trump, how will the Democrats solve that problem?
I dunno….Trump may not have to do much in the debate…let ‘Ben Hiden’ be his own worst enemy. Trump is THE MASTER at tv antics…I suspect he has one or two tricks up his sleeve.
And presidents are supposed to be elected, not “installed”,as in the Fervent Last Wish.
Obama to “rule” as president

The Supreme Court agrees to hear about 100-150 of the more than 7,000 cases that it is asked to review each year.
According to the Congressional Research Service, the average number of days from Nomination to Final Senate Vote since 1975 is 67 days (2.2 months), while the Median is 71 days (or 2.3 months). Some believe this is because Congress sees Justices as playing a more political role than in the past.
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor was the First Female Appointed to the Supreme Court by President Ronald Reagan, 19 August 1981 and Confirmed 21 September 1981 by a Vote of 99-0 in just 34 Days. Justice Ginsberg herself was Nominated and Confirmed in 43 Days from 22 June 1993 to 3 August 1993.

Black Female conservative… a weekend exercise…. game set match
Expecting her memorials to become the campaign stage for the Democrats. The anticipated productions are the only crowds they can draw. Perfect timing RBG, Smaybe we will see a Biden performance?
‘Never let a death go to waste’..
Nasty Trump bashing circus.
Lecturing anti Biden defectors…. that gay rights, abortion, and every other former liberal cause is on the chopping block. That’s why I think RBG may have died of unnatural causes….. ends DNC ennui
Entirely possible.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies on Rosh Hashanah – Jewish New Year. G-d, please forgive me, but I am smiling…New beginnings!!!
Remember what you stand for and push ahead hard.
Evil has many faces but always the same goal—the corruption of your soul.
This opportunity for a real fight right now is a Godsend. Let’s see who is up to it. And mark well who is not. The time for fair-weather friends is quickly passing.
Mama always told us to only speak good of the dead.
RBG is dead. Good.
?
The Left should have encouraged her to resign during the reign of Queen Hussein the Most Fabulous. She had 8 years (or 7 if you consider the so-called “Biden Rule”). For a liberal, voluntarily relinquishing power has the same effect as showing a crucifix to a vampire.
This is THE critical mistake of the leaderless Democrats….they do not play the Long Game. Never have.
She (RBG) never thought she (Killary) would lose.
And what of the Walk Away Democrats who were trying to kill the DNC in its present incarnation?
If we don’t replace her immediately… the election becomes a referendum on gay rights, abortion and all the things hitherto tepid D voters cherish….. this gives them ENERGY…. to vote Biden!!
Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s support for racial quotas was hidden from the public during her Supreme Court confirmation hearings: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/09/ruth_bader_ginsburgs_support_for_racial_quotas_was_hidden_from_the_public_during_her_supreme_court_confirmation_hearings.html
Here is a good review of RBG over the years from VDare-
https://vdare.com/posts/ruth-bader-ginsburg-roundup-reasons-she-was-notorious
Darth Bader Ginsburg may the Force of God hold you accountable for your murder of innocent children.
Enthusiasm on left has been abysmal
So they kill off grand liberal Justice prior to election
Which makes me wonder
How long had they been keeping death on ice in hopes that she could die only after Harris/Biden would replace her
Now to sway Wishy-Washy Middle
Show of desperation
I’ve thought this also. If a replacement is chosen before Nov 3, I am fully confident they would move on to making Biden a martyr in order to fill the enthusiasm gap
The black queen has been removed from the board
now both the white and black pieces have no real goal
Pawns will be sacrificed
The plays will be gruesome
Pawns both black and white surround the White King to protect him
The rooks, bishops and knights both sides watch
Graham is in. “”Yeah. We’ll cross that bridge. After [Brett] Kavanaugh, the rules have changed as far as I’m concerned,” he told reporters, citing the intense battle over Trump’s most recent Supreme Court nominee in 2018, who was narrowly confirmed.
This is a comment from a ridiculous left wing site. You can’t make this stuff up. Where are they hearing this nonsense ?

The death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg leaves a vast hole in the SCOTUS. I’m sure every right winger is salivating at the possibility of Ted Cruz or Tom Cotton coming on board to overturn Roe v Wade. Overturning Roe v Wade is often the “single issue voter” issue for the right- I’m convinced most of them would vote for the devil if it meant overturning Roe.
Here’s the kicker though: It will not stop with Roe. Griswold v Connecticut will be next, and overturning Roe will set that up beautifully. That’s what these men really want to erase: Griswold. If Griswold goes, ladies, there goes your birth control. Griswold is what allows for it, and these men who want to overturn Roe have ending birth control as their main goal. It’s never been about saving lives, just controlling women.
After Griswold, there will go the woman’s right to vote. The Republican party has already had people advocating for women to be stripped of the right to vote. It will happen if the GOP gets its way. And a bunch of other protections for women will go too.
What I’m saying is thanks a lot for bringing about the Handmaid’s Tale through your ignorance, rwnjs. “
My goodness, straw man histrionics run deep with these people!
These people want to drown the nation with third world immigrants who think 6-year-old brides should live 24hrs a day in a small leather box, but yeah, it’s the white patriarchy that is out to get them.
Cab we all have some of what you are smoking? Free?
Here is a typical “comment” from a typical leftist chick on hearing about Ginsburg’s departure from the living.
Not a big fan of Cruz, but yeah I bet he’d be a force on that court. Everybody said he was a powerhouse in law school, even the lefties recognized his brilliance. Is that what we want?
R.I.P. to Ginsburg. I respect her intellect, even if I felt it was badly misdirected at times. Conservatives are better off with her type than the typical Swamp Uniparty drones, for sure.
Haven’t read all of the thousand+ comments and this may have been covered however I still find this interesting after commenting earlier. Ten days ago>
Donald Trump

Trump’s Supreme Court list: President reveals names of 20 more people he’d consider nominating
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-announces-judicial-appointment-list-20-names
Yep. Keeping a secret like a SCOTUS justice on deaths door would be about impossible in DC today. Since he named so many it makes me wonder if Breyer, who is no spring chicken is also not doing so well. Imagine what would happen if the left lost another one of their SCOTUS faithful before the election.
JRBG = Justa Ruthless Babykiller Ginsberg
Feel free to use it. I just made that up.
She (RBG) should have retired 4 years ago…BUT she was certain that the Beast would win & then she could retire & allow a Dem to fill the seat vacated. Ahh…But the Lord works in mysterious ways.
You can be sure RBG suffered through her cancer but, nonetheless, was determined to NOT have Trump name her replacement…..So she suffers through “Russia Gate” & the Mueller fiasco only to find that Trump survives yat another brutal attack from the Left & actually gets stronger.
So she suffers longer & this time believes that the Dems have Trump by the “nuts” & will impeach him…..NOT…..Another wasted cancerous suffering for the die hard Anti-Trumper.
Then Biden “pops up” & she has renewed vigor. A savior to save her legacy & put a doppelganger in her seat….All she has to do is live past Nov. 3rd…..
Talk about a complete waste of the final few years of her life. Time she could have spent with loved ones. Instead, her hatred of Trump overshadowed common sense & forced her to needlessly suffer far more than was necessary JUST to spite Trump & not permit him to name a replacement for her.
l bet her family is “proud” of her for toughing it out & really sticking it to Trump….LOL The snarl on her face must have been worth millions to see as she fades away permanently with the image of Trump stuck first & foremost in her mind as she fades to black…..
Almost 4 years of needless suffering all for naught as Trump prevailed yet again.
Really stupid woman IMHO but I’ll say a prayer for her anyway…A very short one to be sure. Even idiots consumed by vile hatred deserve some small degree of sympathy.
POTY!
She may RIP, but the country will not. Her liberal activism on the bench only served to add to the chaos. For her sake, I hope she gets a better judgement than those she left us with.
And so now the election is about abortion.
Schadenfreude…

Clara Spera, Ruth Buzzie Ginsberg’s granddaughter who supposedly heard and dictated the last words works and contributes to Lawfare. That’s all I need to know about her to NOT believe her BS story.
