A pioneering woman and someone who will be rightfully remembered for her work, however she probably wasnt going to make it to 2025 anyway.

This should tip the balance of the supreme court now and allow America to re-establish its conservative views. Anyone know who the potentials are ?

And inb4 they get accused of sex assault like kavanaugh

You mean allow "conservatives" re-establish their views

You think I’m offended? No, just pointing out your ridiculous hypocrisy.

You contributed to the Varadkar thread being a ‘**** show’. Pot, meet kettle.

I know....but may be the idealist in me....but to me,a judge should be able to rule againest their own personal bias and not be swayed by emotions to uphold the law

Personal bias is not being swayed by emotion.

You can have differing opinions on a case and bring to bear ones massive legal experience, case knowledge.

RGB wasn't impartial, far from it. It can be argued that she was the least impartial Judge on the bench.

She applied her interpretation of the law, bringing her vast knowledge, her understanding and experience of it.

Would be good to see Trump get the appointment done and dusted before the election.

Absolutely...we need fewer pinko liberals on the supreme court and more old fashioned sensible conservatism.

Why? Who do you see him appointing and what do you think this person brings to the table?

"My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed," And then she breathed her last.

To have the chance of a clear majority judgement if there are issues around the election.


Reduce political instability, have a functioning supreme court etc.

That's nice.

A personal anecdote for her family and friends to remember.

Irrelevant to the operations of the Supreme Court and American governance.

The issue i see here is that if Trump loses he will claim issues about the election and his loaded SC will try to install him as president/dictator.

When has the SC not functioned?

I cringe when I read that. A darling of the liberals had the audacity to suggest how she should be replaced.

She will be deified now.

A 4/4 split doesn't guarantee clarity.

I do think the SC deserves a bit more credit ... They will not act merely because Trump claims something .... I will even go as far that if you ask every member personally they want Trump out

The Republicans had no issue with a vacant seat on the Supreme Court for 14 months after Scalia died in February 2016 and that was in an election year too.

No idea who he will seek to appoint.

We have seen that the Democrats will embrace any crazy idea, the marxist BLM movement being the latest. **** like CHOP/CHAZ and the riots and looting that have been going on for months in ‘liberal’ cities like Portland and Seattle with the support of the Democrat mayors/governors etc.

Having a stronger conservative majority will hopefully protect the country from these lunatics attempting to roll back fundamental stuff like property rights (for ‘reparations’) and gun ownership rights. Plus anything around the death penalty.

So is it cringing or amusing ? Or can you do both at the same time ?

Thank goodness no. But she should have retired years ago. She kept the seat warm for what she hoped was another pinko liberal.

Also on this

1) its not that I disbelieve she said it but it just seems an odd thing to say on your deathbed, family member with an agenda made it up perhaps ?

2) if she did say it, wow Donny T had some major free real estate in her mind, your last thought on this earth is about donald trump....

Spite is a powerful motive.
