Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dead at 87

She seemed to be a proper advocate for Libertarianism and champion for equality, with her goes another piece of rationale and reasoned debate, long before Social Media hysteria came waddling along.

Because as we know today's hotbeds of discourse revolve around sexist air-conditioning or deadnaming someone

dont you dare condition that air; let that air grow up to be what it wants



but yeah, a liberal proponent, but so very much more

And we can all look forward to one more hotbed in the next 2 months

Mitch McConnell in 2016: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."

Im sure he still feels that way.

oh for sure :rolleyes:

In a statement issued just over an hour after the Supreme Court said that Ginsburg had passed, McConnell said the nominee, who has not been named, “will receive a vote on the floor.”

Sad state of affairs.

(It's not mine, it's Barack Obama's :oops: )

Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That’s how we remember her. But she also left instructions for how she wanted her legacy to be honored.

Four and a half years ago, when Republicans refused to hold a hearing or an up-or-down vote on Merrick Garland, they invented the principle that the Senate shouldn’t fill an open seat on the Supreme Court before a new president was sworn in.

A basic principle of the law — and of everyday fairness — is that we apply rules with consistency, and not based on what’s convenient or advantageous in the moment.
 
With all the mail ballots indications

Biden 1992

 
With all the mail in ballots media predicts a contested election, so they would really need to have a full 9 member supreme count to break a 4 to 4 decision.

Of course T is winning in a landslide so it may not be necessary.

Quite historic though, the Donald get 3 Supreme court picks and 2 nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The left heads are exploding.

I've been thinking how it goes actually. If Trump gets another supreme court justice before the election...there will be many pissed off women I'm sure since knowing what kind of justices republicans pick. Collins will get to say bye for her seat too. And I think it might even hurt Donald with women voters.

If it's an election issue then it might even help Trump. He really needs all the help he can get at the moment. Curious to see what happens!

I heard this morning it could be a female Hispanic.

Forget the polls, Trump by a landslide.
 
Trump was a massive outsider last Elections, even more so in his unlikely run-up to even become a presidential nominee

This time round he'll be favourite I'd have said, but it won't be a comfortable night. I'd imagine it'll be quite close

well, win or lose, I'm sure we can look to a recount, claims of cheating and fraud, street riots and looting and maybe a city or 2 burnt to the ground
 
This T human moment just won him a bunch of votes while Tiny Dancer plays in the background and the MSM must hate having to run it.

This video transitions into Tiny Dancer, which seems fitting for RGB while the second is clearer on what T says.

Course he was told by his handlers when he left the stage ;)

But I agree it was very human and decent.

Now if his whole presidency was like that, being decent when not agreeing with others or trying to (quietly) reach out instead of polarising publicly on Twitter and the likes. Wouldn't that have been something?
 
Apart from his excess baggage he brought into his presidency, his Twitter rights should have been revoked from the outset, like that of a naughty child's, as that's been where the most damage was wrought

ya
all other things aside
those twitter diatribes never really ever come across as nothing much more than petulant rants

Still awaiting my privilege, I’m skint and single.. jobless and bald..

and have a overweight dog (not my wife) on my side of the bed awaiting me!.

this white privilege they speak of is shit.
 
enh, wont get between yours and hers


but to white privilege; it's, to a degree, a thing; when you have it, youd generally not notice it..it isnt a per person kind of deal, bur rather systemic ie the whole enjoys it not necessarily the individual :)

Yes it was decent. I don't know if he know ahead of time, he seemed genuinely surprised.

Agree there he could tone it down a little.

she passed around 12-15 min after he got onto stage
i imagine he had an earpiece and was clued in, but a little late from his current topic

I don't know the timeline but that is not how I read his reaction.

oh, it wasnt any sort of Trump commentary; more you asked if he knew..he couldnt have...it was announced after he took stage

I couldn't help notice how respectful the reporter was towards Obama. It was almost as if he was among friends :laugh:

I believe there has been a lot of people elected to the supreme court in the last year of a presidents tenure for obvious reasons

They did seem very chummy, but who am I to disapprove!
 
It's going to be a woman come what may, democrat or republicans in power, and there can only be so many suitable candidates. If the republicans can appoint a female conservative judge now, what sense is there in them waiting and risking allowing the democrats to appoint a liberal female judge in 2021?

Considering the riots, protests and law & order issues as well, the chance to pick a new judge can't have come at a better time.
 
It shouldn't matter the sex of who's appointed or put forward, it should be based on merit. It's not as though women leaders/ politicians is a groundbreaking new concept
