Nicely done ABC. Ginsburg’s dying wish? 1) Needs a fact check 2) hearsay 3) Wouldn’t stack up in court.

Nothing new any thing that does not suit Trumps agenda is unbelievable

There are only three words that the DisasterInChief knows: Losers Suckers Hoax Which describes the realDonaldTrump and his presidency rather accurately IKnowTheBestWords

Trump is too kind hearted towards her.

Even if it was her wish, it means nothing. The US is not ruled by a monarchy and Ginsburg is not a Queen. The US has its constitution that states the President has a duty to nominate candidiate to fill vacancy of the Supreme Court.

'Dying wish' lol! It's all feels before reals for these noodleheads.

someone's dying wish should be obeyed over the constitution

Trump is an ass. If the US can't be bothered to vote him out by only getting half the population to the polling booths then they get what they deserve. There system is not a democracy.

Dying wish, please!

EVERY DAY HE INCREASES HIS UTTER LOWNESS!

Here comes ACB to the supreme court. Getting my cup to fill with liberal tears

Only in America could someone as loony as King George IV (?) get elected.

If Trump says it, the opposite is true.

This whole shitshow has really amped up the trolls and bots lately. Opportunistic scum.

inconvenient truths

The same dumbass who thinks science is fake, yet uses it everyday to brainwash his ignorant feral supporters.

Besmirching the name of this person shows that this guy flounders along the bottom.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed again Wednesday to block President Obama's Supreme Court nomination, saying the American people should have a 'voice' in the process. 2016! Can't expect McConnel to have 'Principles' can we?

Hey ABC, it’s an *alleged* dying wish. Unless you can supply us with some proof? auspol

Can't help a Black Heart!

Exactly. Where is the proof she said this? It’s hard to imagine a professional constitutionalist would say such a thing when they know better than anyone else in the country what the exact process is for putting someone on the US Supreme Court.

Who is he to judge that it sounded like someone else. This man is out of his mind. To say that publicly shortly after her passing is inappropriate period. TrumpIsALiar TrumpIsUnwell gettrumpoutnow

Leftists tried to make a rapist and monster out of an innocent family man. FillTheSeat

If McConnell get the SC appointment through the Senate before the election, I hope Biden’s first act as President-Elect is to re-open the nominations. Make it clear he won’t roll-over on this. And I hope all the blowback hits MoscowMitchMcTreason in his recessive chin.

Can you please point me to the 'dying wish' clause in the US Constitution?

Well honestly who believes it. Sounds like Dem-Crap . Sounds like Russia Russia Russia. Ruth knew the law. She knew that the President has the right to nominate a new judge. Why would you even bother trying to spin this? Once you leave this mortal coil thats it !!! NEXT !!

A pro- Trump fan...I mean at least she’s wearing a mask

Trump x train 2020 Landslide Tsunami!!!!!

This seems relevant, not that TheirABC Leftards would ever mention it …

Why would she have hung in for so long otherwise

Democrats claim a lot of things... remember when they claimed (falsely) that they had proof of Trump/Russia collusion? Oops! what a big LIE that was *giggles*

it was bs

Blaming Trump for climate change is ‘ironic’ given two per cent emissions reduction | Sky News AustraliaEnvironmental policy expert Michael Shellenberger says it is completely unscientific and “crazy talk” to suggest temperatures rise and forests burn because Donald Trump is the president.\n\nMr Shellenberger said it’s ironic how climate activists level blame upon President Donald Trump for climate change when emissions are “lower now than when he took office”.\n\n“They declined two per cent last year”.\n\nHe said it’s a crazy notion to suggest Donald Trump is responsible for the current Californian wildfires given it takes “30 years or more for the carbon dioxide to translate to warming”.\n\n“It’s so unscientific and yet it’s clearly been given a pass because the media has been so bias on this because they hate Trump so much,” Mr Shellenberger said.\n\n“They basically want to ascribe every natural disaster, every fire on him.\n\n“It’s really the state’s fault that you have this huge accumulation of wood fuel, Donald Trump doesn’t have anything to do with that.”\n ShellenbergerMD realDonaldTrump Even the stuff Obama did is Trump's fault.

Trump confirms he will nominate a woman to Supreme Court | Sky News AustraliaWATCH FULL RALLY: President Donald Trump has confirmed he will pick a woman to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court during a raucous rally in the key swing state of North Carolina.\n\n“It will be a woman, a very talented, very brilliant woman,'President Trump said.\n \n'We haven’t chosen yet, but we have numerous women on the list.”\n\nJustice Ginsburg died aged 87 due to complications from pancreatic cancer, almost three decades since she was appointed to the Supreme Court by the then-president Bill Clinton in 1993.\n\nShe became a liberal icon after providing key votes in landmark rulings securing equal rights for women, expanding gay rights and safeguarding abortion rights, and she received tributes and recognition from across the political spectrum at home and abroad following her death.\n\nThat legacy is now in doubt if President Trump nominates her successor, with the makeup of the Supreme Court skewing to a 6-3 conservative majority.\n\nCircuit Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett is considered the frontrunner to fill the vacant seat.\n\nShe is an avowed social conservative and fervently anti-abortion, putting the future of Roe v Wade in doubt.\n\nDuring the rally, President Trump also castigated Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris over her role in the contentious role in the nomination of Justice Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.\n\nSenator Harris made headline for her tough questions to Justice Kavanaugh over his record on abortion and voting rights.\n \n“Nobody was ever ruder,” President Trump said. “Nobody ever suffered like Justice Kavanaugh suffered in the hands and the mouths of those horrible people.” realDonaldTrump Sarah Huckabee Sanders Kelly-Anne Conway .. realDonaldTrump So what - she won’t get confirmed.
