RIP to the woman herself. She stayed on far, far too long, but exactly how much of that was of her own volition and not political pressure, I'll never really be able to say. I wish her a well deserved rest and comfort to her family and friends.

As for the political timing of this news, well...

It goes both ways.

For the left: Disbelief

For the right:
 
Some lvl 20 hero finally smashed Ruth's phylactery?

Trump, Mitch, you know what must be done.

Cue whining from the same Dems/Progressives who were rubbing their hands about court-packing that it is 'inappropriate' for Trump to nominate a new Justice or the Senate to confirm it.
 
She had a choice about how she retired. She could've retired when she was first hospitalized, she could've retired under Obama, she could've retired 10 years ago.

She chose to retire when her body expired.
 
Obligatory, predictable video:


But in all seriousness, this throws a wrench into the upcoming election. I honestly fear that any far-leftists and AnComs may vote blue for Biden if it means securing some progressive Boomer as a new Supreme Court justice, especially with Ginsberg's last wish to not be replaced until a new president is elected. Who knows at this point.
 
Oh my God she's gone.
The only thing I didn't like about her was the stupid hype campaign trying to make her out to be some female Chuck Norris-level of cartoonishly powerful and fucking failing to gain traction.

RIP you old gavel-swinger. :drink:
 
The Roe v. Wade salt is going to be delicious when they go back into hysterics over it being potentially repealed.

Which, for the record, I doubt will happen but for leftists the sky is ALWAYS falling.
 
If he gets one in and wins the election, I am certain Thomas will resign from his post. Don't know why, but it's a gut feeling.

He's added quite a few to his list. I suspect he might choose a woman, not only for broad appeal but to bait the retards in the Dems to run the Clarance Thomas/Brett Kavanaugh playbook again, but this time on a woman. Will destroy any credibility that MeToo has left.

IIRC, there was a woman on the short list of judges Trump had lined up to fill Kennedy's seat and one of them was a very conservative woman. He picked Kavanaugh instead but said it was a very close decision.

I think that woman is going to be the one who replaces RBG and she's one of the younger judges in the running too.

I read it on here first and tried to post it on Facebook before other people did but a girl on my friend list posted if only like 2 minutes before I did
 
RBGone

Not only does Trump get another pick but we get to watch the entire Democrat party make hypocrites out of themselves(yet again) by trying to claim Trump should not get a pick in an election year.
 
The Notorious RBG is permanently DOA.

She could have retired during the Obama presidency to enjoy her remaining life with her family. Instead, she kept her bony ass propped up on the Supreme Court to 'pwn the right.'

Now, Cocaine Mitch is going to shove a new Justice down the Dems' throats like his name is Rocco Siffredi.

i don't blame her for checking out early. shit's gonna get worse from here anyway.

RIP she lived a long productive life, FFFFFFFF
 
You all are delusional if you think Cocaine Mitch isn't going to ramrod in his favorite corporate whore. You won't get an overturning of Roe V. Wade or Oberfell V. Hodges, a strengthening of the 1st or 2nd amendment, but you better believe that any attempt at campaign finance reform or any laws that might help the working class is dead in the water. Yeah, the schadenfreude at the winemom cult's misery is fun, but be honest here. This is what the Republican Party is today.
 
I think that Trump should have someone at the ready to fill the bench, but respect RGB's wish and wait until after the election to nominate them. If he nominates someone right away, you know the DNC will play for pity points, claim he is disrespecting her dying wish and more people will likely take the bait. Also, if he somehow manages to lose to Biden, he can make his pick as a parting shot to the DNC.
