What teeth would the resolution have had? Surely none?

Seeing as how she previously stated the exact opposite of her “dying wish” on record, and no recording or any piece of evidence confirming such a “dying wish” is available...I’m going to go ahead and say it’s made up bullshite once again.

I can only pray. Carson and Cruz were my #1 and #2 choices in '16 before they bowed out and endorsed the Marmalade Marauder(TM).

This reminds me of that MA Senate race like ten years ago (oh God it's been that long) where Scott Brown won a special election for "Ted Kennedy's seat" as if he had a claim to its ownership. It's a spot on the supreme court, it doesn't belong to anyone.

No way that RBG uttered the words fervent wish on her deathbed.


You'd think she'd ask Joe Biden to release the cure for cancer, but then again, he let his own son die from a brain tumor, so I'm thinking he might be bluffing.

are you forgetting the power of CNN/MSNBC/WaPo/CBS/ABC/NBC/etc?

they would all be "republicans are breaking the law moving forward with appointment after congress passed The Schumer Resolution of 2020"

surely you know how this works? truth is what the media says it is.

The little green truck man that took Kennedy’s seat!



I remember that. Democrats though it was “Kennedy’s seat”. It had been about 40 years since Massachusetts elected a republican senator.

I do not think most people will be incensed by this. RBG could scarcely hold herself up for two years before her death. There is a reason people and especially septo/octogenarians Should be retired from careers. She should have done that. She was convened about her political biases as much as anything.

November 8, 2016 was without a doubt the worst day of RBG's life.

Once Trump was declared the winner she saw the next 8 years flash before her eyes and knew her cancer-ridden body would never make it and that she had made a HUGE mistake in gambling on a Hillary presidency.

"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."



how'd that work out for you, Notorious RBG Impartial Justice to the Universe?

It was a question. Do you know the answer?

You are faced with PR issues either way. But if it is just PR, who cares.

It is bad enough when spouses of dead senators get appointed to finish terms, we don't need that kind of BS on the courts.
