that happens and the Democrats win the senate, they will abolish the filibuster, and if they have any guts, they will expand the Supreme Court to nullify the fact that Trump got to name three justices.

Yeah for the most part they seemed far more concerned with the election now.


To be fair, that’s a very pressing concern. Think of how many people have been killed by George Floyd rioters? And what if Kamala Harris wins the Presidency (let’s face it she’ll be the actual President) and gives us 13 total justices and fills this?

RBG is the modern Left’s MLK. That’s why it’s a big deal.

People who post disrespectful comments just because you didn't agree with her.. your mindset is what's wrong with the country today.

You mean like the extreme liberals?

Funny thing is PT acts like she's some far left progressive when she's hated by a very large majority of progressives. They hate her more than the Trump voters do

Court was 4-4 and 1 swing vote (John Roberts) who has been leaning more lib than conservative As of late.

If Trump gets to appoint the new justice, it will be a conservative and the court will be 5-3-1

Essentially Roberts can’t frick over repubs anymore even though he was appointed by Bush

Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that i I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."


How pathetic and disgusting that she was so eaten up with politics literally on her deathbed. Explains a lot about why she was the way she was.

The Supreme Court is a huge deal because they are the final say on what is and isn't constitutional. They also serve for life, which could mean 30 or 40 years.

Justices are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.

In the last year of Obama's presidency, GOP senate leader McConnell blocked an Obama nominee for the court, claiming that it would be more appropriate to "wait until after the election." Trump won that election, and has now gotten two of his picks for the court confirmed, which is a huge deal. (McConnell has already said he will not apply that standard to the last year of Trump's term.)

SC justices are already considered a huge reason to vote for a candidate, and the possibility (I'd call it a certainty) of having Trump not just nominate a third justice but replace liberal-friendly justice has Democrats freaking the frick out.

Basically, the stakes in this election, which both sides already view as a struggle for the literal survival of America as we know it, just got raised even higher.

I've watched people die, some of cancer, and she might have said that a month ago at best.

Nobody believes she actually said that. She was high as hell on morphine or some other high grade pain medication and was probably rambling on about some dude she blew in the 70s
