Indeed, RIP.

This is what sucks for me. She could have retired in like 2014 and been replaced.

But once trump won there was so much pressure. U had leftist celebrities offering her their vital organs to keep her alive.

I'd bet Ruth mostly didnt care, but no way we shrugged off that onslaught 100% of the time

Ruth certainly was a leader and an exceptional person in her arena.

Yes, and she showed respect to all new justices.

She deserves an epic funeral.

I always liked the friendship between her and Justice Scalia. They apparently had dinner together all the time and were best friends and had immense respect for each other despite differing very much politically.

Rename one of the buildings named for some Confederate for ruth

I'm not being sarcastic. Both sides would probably agree

Good idea

Word is Murkowski and Romney have both said they would oppose any attempt to fill the seat before the inauguration. Collins has said in the past that she would do the same.

Wow I had no idea Ginsburg health fell to such an extent.

Rest in peace for an extraordinary person.

Trump and McConnell are absolutely going to replace her, or push for it, despite Mitch stalling in 2015/16 for a year under the “We can’t replace in an election year”.

McConnell already released a statement saying Trump’s nominee will get a vote.

RIP

"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."

It’s almost like she cared about her legacy.

Putting her wants before the country, I thought better of her.

Personally, I hope whoever gets nominated is a moderate.

That was when there was a Democrat in office and a Republican controller senate.

Now there is a replicant in office and Republican controlled senate.

What would Chuck Schumer do in this situation if he was majority leader and had a Democrat in the White House?

We know what he would do, he would confirm whoever the president put forward.

I would like a moderate too. But it won’t be. Trump will try to replace her with Laura Ingraham or something.

What's the worst case scenario here?

I don't think they'll be rolling back any of the popular rights already voted on. If they do, I'm not really upset that churches won't have to sermon gay marriages.

Laura Ingram would be a solid choice. And he would be replacing a woman with another woman, seems appropriate👆

They already don’t have to.
