I can see from your posts that your brain exploded a long time ago.  Do you have any self-respect at all? If you do, just give it up...you have no reason to have any. |

I have gotten the question, how can I honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was a liberal lawmaker from the bench, and liberals did NOT honor Antonin Scalia when he passed.
so I will reiterate what some here have already said.
i am a conservative but my behavior is not predicated on what liberals do or don’t do. I honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the good in her life. I honor her because it is the right thing to do... despite disagreeing with her opinions.
”hate” is not a characteristic I have or use.

I disagreed with most of her political and social positions as well. However, she is one of the giant women in American history, and apparently an outstanding human being, so I honor her life and grieve at her passing.

I saw a short biographical presentation on her life apart from her legal career. you're right. |

You are wrong! Obama is a Democrat and the Senate was Republican, therefore Garland would not have been approved! Do you get that? No you are wrong!...feel better when you say that? Do you get that nominees are supposed to be voted on based on their legal credentials not their political ideology?I agree that Garland would not have been confirmed by the wildly partisan Senate regardless of the fact that he was considered a moderate nominee but that doesn't mean the Senate gets to take a pass on their obligations. The Republicans who concocted the "rule" that they used to block his nomination for 11 months were just making a blatant power grab. It will come back to haunt them. That might just be the most ridiculous thing you've ever posted here. Republicans treated Democrat nominees much better than the Dems treated the Republican nominees. Of the nine most recent justices, the four chosen by Democrats, got approved with from 63 to 96 yes votes. Meanwhile four of the five justices appointed by Republicans had to fight tooth and nail to get confirmed with from 50 to 58 yes votes. Only Justices Robert had a relatively easy confirmation, with 78 yes votes. Ginsberg - 96 yes votes
Breyer - 87 yes votes Sotomayor - 68 yes votes Kagan - 63 yes votes Kavanaugh - 50 Yes votes Thomas - 52 yes votes Gorsuch - 54 yes votes Alito - 58 yes votes Roberts - 78 yes votes www.senate.gov/legislative/nominations/SupremeCourtNominations1789present.htm |

It does look that way. The left was counting on Lamar Anderson and Cory Gardener, both of whom dashed their hopes. Gardener just came out and said he will vote yes (without knowing which woman Trump will nominate). |

Gardener just came out and said he will vote yes (without knowing which woman Trump will nominate). Gardner said he would vote, not just because.., he stated a "qualified" nominee. Let the process go proceed and we know they are all qualified outside some personal date rape charges... |

This is what feeble-minded Biden had to say yesterday, which I fervently disagree with. This falls under President Trump’s purview and is his decision to make. BIDEN: ‘IF I WIN... I SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO NOMINATES GINSBURG’s SUCCESSOR’ “If Donald Trump wins the election, then the Senate should move on his selection, and weigh the nominee he chooses fairly,” the Democrat admitted. “But if I win this election, President Trump’s nominee should be withdrawn. As a new president, I should be the one who nominates Justice Ginsburg’s successor, a nominee who should get a fair hearing in the Senate,” Biden added. pjmedia.com/election/tyler-o-neil/2020/09/20/biden-senate-should-not-act-on-trumps-supreme-court-nominee-until-after-the-election-n946531 |

You won't hear about this on CNN, but it's true nonetheless.

The spotlight is now on Biden and the Democrats. Will they call for burning down Main Street in blue towns or act like adults and do their jobs? IMO looting and burning down the Walmart and pulling white people out of their cars and assault them weeks before the election is a plus for Trump.
