A ceremonial resolution honoring the life of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg failed in the Senate on Tuesday after U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz objected to language his Democratic counterparts added noting her dying wish that a successor not be chosen until after the presidential inauguration early next year.


quote:

"Unfortunately, the Democratic leader has put forth an amendment to turn that bipartisan resolution into a partisan resolution," Cruz said in his floor remarks, referring to U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer.


quote:

"Specifically, the Democratic leader wants to add a statement that Justice Ginsburg's position should not be filled until a new president is installed, purportedly based on a comment Justice Ginsburg made to family members shortly before she passed.

"That, of course, is not the standard," he added. "Under the Constitution, members of the judiciary do not appoint their own successors."

IT'S NOT HER SEAT.

She just sat in it for a few years just like every other justice.

Just because LSU may retire Joe Burrow's number doesn't mean they stop having a quarterback.

It should make total sense, though. Dems think and act on pure emotion, 100% of the time.

Not only that. I think It’s bullshite.

No way that RBG uttered the words fervent wish on her deathbed. She was a leftist- but she didn’t say shite like fervent wish. She was also a lawyer and a judge - lawyers and judges know that wishes don’t mean shite.
