The loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg adds a new element of bitterness to the political season

Because with her death at age 87 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Ms. Ginsburg set in motion a parallel political struggle to accompany the bitter presidential election only six weeks away.The Republican Senate that refused to confirm a Barack Obama selection for the Supreme Court because the nomination was made in the 2016 presidential election year very likely will try to confirm a Donald J. Trump nominee even later in the 2020 presidential year.

"She was a courageous jurist who left an indelible, progressive mark on American jurisprudence and an inspiring one for judges everywhere,'' Canadian Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Abella said in a remark as she interrupted her Rosh Hashanah family meal to speak to The Globe and Mail. “The fight for global justice just got harder.” A year ago, Ms. Ginsburg described the Canadian jurist as one of her “dearest sisters-in-law.

The contention that marked the Kavanaugh nomination likely will be matched or even exceeded if Mr. Trump selects a replacement for Ms. Ginsburg, whom he described Friday night as “an amazing woman who led an amazing life.” In remarks given just moments after the death of Ms. Ginsburg, Mr. Trump — at that time unaware that such a possibility might avail itself — told a campaign audience he wanted to appoint Senator Ted Cruz, born in Calgary but representing Texas on Capitol Hill, to the court.

Glad we have a fixed retirement age for our Supreme Court. This is ridiculous propping up a very sick woman for this long as if the free world depended only on her and her alone.

She was a horrible, partisan justice. Constitution-loving folks are happy tonight. I know I am.

She was quite bitter herself. Refused to attend SOTU addresses by any R presidents. Political hack dressed up as a judge.

THAT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT FRIENDS.

The thing about politics that isn't a lie. Power.
