So let's say it is 2016, and Ginsburg is 83 and has had several bouts of cancer.

Why didn't she retire when Obama was still in office and busily weaponizing the IRS (Lois Lerner) and working on the attempt to smear Gen Flynn and being informed by Strzok and Page about their attempts to hurt the Trump campaign?

Ginsburg exposed her liberal partisan agenda when she actual told her granddaughter that her dying wish was that her replacement not be selected until after the next election. She exposed herself on the way out.

Dimwit, she "exposed her liberal partisan agenda" back before she was ever appointed to the court, you moron.

Then once she sat on the court, she continued to stand for the same things guaranteed in the Constitution. That was her job.

It's not her fault that Republicans were against women's equality and civil rights. What she actually exposed is the "conservative partisan agenda" against equal rights.

Ginsburg was known for fighting for women's equality which conservative Republicans were (and still are) ALL against and which assholes like you have only contempt for.

Only Democrats fought for gender equality. Only Democrats fight for gender equality. Only Democrats pass laws ensuring gender equality, which are the laws she ruled on, so only in that sense was she "partisan".

If Republicans would get behind the Constitution and support women, then Ginsburg couldn't be seen as "partisan" any longer. You would only see her as a great American.

It's OK for Justices to have personal opinions, especially on their death beds. Everyone knew Scalia's "personal conservative partisan" opinions, but you didn't complain about that, did you. Meanwhile, you can't fault Ginsburg's reasoning in her court decisions, can you.

Ginsburg is on record saying that just because an election is coming up, doesn't mean the President has lost his powers to nominate a Supreme Court Justice and in fact said the President should proceed with sending that person to the Senate for a vote. Ginsburg is on record saying her position should be replaced by the sitting President and not held until after an election. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
#127439
Tool, the Republicans are the only ones who ever said the sitting President shouldn't get to appoint a new Supreme Court Justice. And you agreed with them because you are nothing more than a partisan tool.

Ginsburg told the Republicans that they didn't have a legal foot to stand on, and they didn't. You smirked and didn't care then.

Republicans said "Fuck the Constitution!" and refused for many months to do their Constitutional duty to advise and consent.

Republicans hate the Constitution and prove it every day with unAmerican crimes like that.

"Four more years of antiConstitutional government!"-Every Trump supporter including the Republican assholes here that refused to condemn the Republican Senators four years ago for their unAmerican politics
#127443
It's not just "OK" dummy. It's Trump's DUTY to nominate someone.

When will you partisan dimwits ever bother to read the Constitution of the United States, fer cripes sake?

This is not a partisan issue. Why are you trying to make it one?

You Republican assholes just aren't happy unless you are dividing our country and spitting on the law.

In the political den which is Washington, here is what I cannot understand.

Why didn't Obama phone Ruth, ask her to resign, and promise to appoint her ambassador to whatever country, or to some cushy do-nothing job, thus buffing up her large ego, and allowing him to appont some equally leftist young person?
#127501
Why didn't McConnell just phone Obama and tell him that he would not allow for Obama to appoint a liberal to the supreme count instead of making up some stupid bullshit story about how McConnell wanted the American public to decide the next president before confirming the next SC judge?

The constitution does not require for Senate to have confirmation hearings and we all know that McConnell wants to nominate a conservative to the supreme court. So I just don't understand why conservatives can't cut out the bullshit and say they want a conservative to begin with in the first place?

Now if conservatives want to resort to bullshit tactics then don't come crying when democrats take the keys to the system and pack the courts with liberal justices becuase the constitution doesn't limit the number of justices in the SC.

Should the Dems take the Senate and the W House, they will do just what Elkin mentions.

Since 2016, Democrats have been drenched in rage and hate.

They want to turn American into a leftist hellhole, and if given a chance they will.

Delusional folks such as Elkin want to help them destroy American greatness, which flowed from just two things -- freedom and its counterpart capitalism.

^^^^^^^Geezus H. Christ, look at the seething partisan hate coming from that clueless tool johnforbes.

He is watching the Republicans destroy democracy in America step by step on a daily basis and he's upset at Democrats instead, even as he personally supports Trump refusing to accept the results of the election.

What can mitigate that level of hate in a man? (Or a partisan weasel in johnnys case.)
#127574
"Dems refused to accept the 2016 election themselves ..."-johnfibs

Never happened. Democrats had an orderly transfer of power right on schedule.

That johnforbes would tell such an easily provable lie is incredible.

Republicans are just pulling made up stupid shit out of their asses right and left. They don't even pretend to tell the truth any longer.

It's just lie after lie after lie, from ALL Republicans. Like the Republican Convention where Don Jr. made an entire speech that didn't contain even a single true statement. He knows Republicans are too stupid to check anything he says.

Try to find a Republican saying anything truthful on any subject. You won't have any success.

They'll even continue to insist Trump is a multi-billionaire making millions each year, despite his tax returns claiming he lost millions or paid only a few hundred dollars in federal income taxes for many of the recent tax years.

No, the DNC and Hillary paid 12 million to Fusion GPS for the fake doxxier, which was used to lie to the FISA court (which itself held no hearings on whether to wiretap a presidential campaign/staff) and wiretap Trump.

Then the fake dossier, which an 8th grader would have known was fake, was used to rationalize two years of the Mueller probe when Weissman and Mueller knew in the first 10 days had zero evidence.

Dems then used a fake impeachment when Biden had admitted on video to a quid pro quo re Ukraine.

fake fisa, hillary, dossier, obama, fake, fake... goddamn ground hog day again a' philip.
guess what clue lacking operative boy, they had plenty of reason for a fisa warrant. with or with our that pretty real dossier.
#127596
The dossier was ludicrous, and any 8th grader would laugh at it.

No FBI agent or DoJ official could ever have thought that it was real, much less formed the rationale for a FISA warrant or the two years of the Mueller probe.

They all knew it was fake.

I respect the intelligence of Strozok, Page, Comey, Ohr, McCabe,Weissman, Priestap et al. They were bright people, knew exactly what they were doing, and did it anyhow because they couldn't accept the 2016 election.
