As reported by my good friend and colleague, Scott Hounsell, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. For her family and friends, this is indeed a sad event…my condolences. The loss of any human being is, of course, a terrible thing.
Having said that, President Trump now needs to take some decisive action. He has been given an historic opportunity to reshape the United States Supreme Court…possibly for decades. As all of us are brutally aware, although having a nominal conservative majority, the pusillanimous conduct of the Chief Justice has adulterated that to such a degree, that the leftists continue to win the truly important fights. It’s so bad, that Chief Justice Roberts has ruled that a sitting President must show just cause, before repealing an Executive Order promulgated by his predecessor. Really?
After the de rigueur platitudes about the tragic loss of a trailblazing female litigator, President Trump needs to move forthrightly and publicly to nominate the most notorious conservative possible to fill her seat. He also needs to make this appointment a campaign issue. The President needs to be on the phone tonight with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

.@GOP We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices. We have this obligation, without delay!

Call my Senators?............I'm in Massachusetts,they ARE the enemy!!!
Yeah ... and I live in the Last Soviet Socialist State of California :=((
I did call the switchboard and my Senate leader I couldn't leave a message for both of them.
I agree
and Trump says, This seat must be filled without delay. HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
What made RBG hold on to her job and not be able to fullfil her duties, knowing we need a full court? Did she hate America that much? Just asking.
Yes, she hated America because of ALL the opportunities it gave her, and wanted those opportunities to disappear for future generations by promoting GODless marxism. She struck back by not retiring, she is/was an extreme activist GOD hater, voting for the sexual deviants to be unleashed on America, illegal aliens being given a free pass to perpetuate chain immigration of leftist voters, voted for anti-Constitutional obama care, the American taxpayer does not know that they subsidize canadian and Western nation's socialize healthcare.
In time we will hear about how she died from Covid-19, that her pancreatic cancer was caused by covid and it was President Trump's fault.
It's odd that all that was on her mind while she was dying was that she not be replaced until after the leftist rigged election. To h3!! with her, replace her NOW!
I do not trust Chairman Graham.
I don't either but right now we need him to do his job! Set that date and get the hearings started!
