Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Sunday said Senate Republicans should honor the dying wish of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and not vote on a nominee to fill the vacancy before the November presidential election.
Democratic U.S. presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden speaks about the death of U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg shortly after Biden arrived from campaign events in Minnesota at New Castle Airport in New Castle, Delaware, U.S., September 18, 2020.
"If Trump wants to put forward a name now, the Senate should not act until after the American people select their next president, their next Congress, their next Senate," Biden said. The day after Ginsburg's death, Trump said he would choose his nominee in the coming week and told his voters that his administration would move ahead with the nomination before the November election. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the nominee would receive a vote on the Senate floor.
"I appeal to those few senate Republicans, the handful who really will decide what happens. Please, follow your conscience," Biden said. "Don't vote to confirm anyone nominated under the circumstances President Trump and Senator McConnell have created. Don't go there."
Dying wishes aren’t granted in the constitution
What does the Constitution say?
But that's their job and that's what they should do
Why is she Jesus or Muhammad
No,...Biden said they should vote
Biden said 'Fill the court.'
Kind of contradicts herself if her dying wish is actually true, which I highly doubt.
Biden does not even know he is alive ..... Do your job and fill the position asap
Why?
🤣🤣🤣. Let’s honor the constitution instead
Dying wishes are for friends and family not for nations.
joe is a fascist
I agree, if the representatives have any respect for her & the citizens of our country, They should wait until after the election. This should not be a party thing.
Does honoring the dead stop him/anyone from eating? 🤷♂️
Lol! Her death was untimely, bless her soul, but come on!
'There's nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being the president in his last year,' Ginsburg said in a 2016 New York Times interview in which she called for Garland to receive a confirmation vote in the Senate
Yea. Totally believable. I’m sure she said that.
Why?
Dying wish 😂 sure it was
No why I won’t vote dem...because you all picked JoeBiden! Dude is trash and just like Trump but Dems are too stupid to vote in a intelligent person when they had way better options than a dude that can’t even freaking put together a sentence and has failed for 30yrs in office!
My dying grandma's wish was that President Trump serves more than 2 terms. She said he was the best president in her 86 years.
Does JoeBiden even remember who RBG was?
Hypocrisy
What's the law and who is the President?
Oh well! 🤷♂️
Because someone dies we all have to change our ways in life boy you sure made a change
He also says 200 millions Americans would die with COVID-19 by the he finishes talking.
So an old lady’s “wish” trumps the Constitution?
Shit, you want dead people to interfere election?
Please CNBC grow up
What a load of horse shit
Is this Biden’s Twitter account?
I didn’t vote. Shredded my ballot already. And oh boy does it feel so good
LOL!
Under Obama Biden I lost my job and my house, and the year I lost my job I gave more to charity/ church than Joe Biden did. He is worthless.
All those that argue not to fill the seat are those that seek to undermine the Constitution.
Ginsburg had the option to retire while Obama was president but chose not to do so.
Everyone knew replacement by a Republican majority was the risk Ginsburg was willing to take and she took it. She could have easily retired after turning 80 when Obama was in office. I hope you all think it was worth it. God’s hand I guess.
So who cares what JoeBiden thinks?
No
To bad fuckers! Karma
firejimcramer
That’s stupid
I like rbg but her wishes are irrelevant. She’s not an elected representative by the people. Imagine if all justices had their wishes honored? Shouldn’t they? It’s only fair right ?
Republicans need to spike the football here. Just like the Democrats would.
Oh my goodness, has the US descended to this level of stupidity? What is going on with this new extrapolated idiocy? Just follow through on the order of law and process enshrined in the Constitution.
Well, unfortunately Biden is not Bible.
😂😂😂and he was there
Lolol. No hidden agenda here.
Nominate this week. Confirm next week.
The President was elected to select SCOTUS Judges like the late great Antonin Scalia, not pass the job off to anyone else.
What other wishes of hers should we grant? Biden becoming president?
Biden forgot what he said in 2016.
Biden is appealing to a sense of honor from a brick wall...
Maybe changing the filibuster backfired?
CNBC is the same network that was trashing bernie in his running days. Now instantaneously quotes him
Didnt you tweet something about honoring the Constitution a few days ago on ‘Constitution Day’?!
Snore.
The running of our government does not survive with dying declarations, this is not included in the Constitution.
The dumbest reason to do anything honestly. She did so much but her wish means nothing. Sorry.
All we have to go on is what her granddaughter said. Did she put it in writing? Is there more than one witness? Doesnt matter anyway, if we are going to have mail in voting then we will need all 9 positions to be filled.
She should have honored her own dying wish and resigned while Obama was president.
if she was so concerned she should have retired before 2017.
Biden says Senate should honor Ginsburg's dying wish and not vote on nominee before eating contest
Once upon a time, his boss thought differently. Why didn’t Joe speak up then? 🤔
I call bullshit on the dying wish statement
The GOP should honor that. I remember when we had 10 months before the 2016 election, and Mitch refused to confirm Obama's pick, because 'the American People should decide with their vote.' Schmucks...
Its not ginsburgs decision
👇
Awwww that's cute
Wouldn’t that be crazy if your way of life hinges on a woman’s dying wish? It’s irrelevant, the seat belongs to the people and the duly elected officials in charge of filling the seat have a sworn duty to do their job. The world can not operate efficiently based on emotions.
but that is not what the Constitution says......
I don't think Ginsburg has a say one way or the other. The Republicans need to take this opportunity and push it through. Let Pelosi impeach Trump again if she so desires!
LMAO. No. We're filling that seat just like the Obama and Biden wanted done in 2016. Ginsburg doesn't nominate new justices so nobody cares what she wished for. It's irrelevant.
They should honor the constitution.
What does a person’s last wishes have on anything?
who cares about her dying wish
Lol what did you think he would say? “Yea let’s nominate trumps choice”
Lol
Biden's a hack. I just saw his bleeding heart commercial. His dead wife should be tired because he's been riding on her back for the last 40 years. Of course he's added Beau to the presentation. Disgusting and shameless…
Gingsburg doesn’t own the seat, Trump should follow the law & fill the seat.
MAGA TRUMP2020LANDSLIDEVICTORY
Did the Supreme Court pass a law that dying wishes be granted as laws? I must have missed that one.
Lol
lol hell no.
Where is that in the constitution? Dying wish!
I’ll just leave this here.
Just to be clear I don’t want Trump to nominate the next justice but this is the stupidest reason to not nominate the next justice.
Martha Stewart for SCOTUS
BREAKING NEWS: HE DID NOT SAID THAT... HE READ IT
Honor her and name someone
It’s an insult to White Women for Joe to say he will nominate a Black Woman. It was Ruth who got Women to be included in Affirmative Action. She is also Jewish. RBG said there came a time she was no longer afraid to say that. Did she meet AOC & the Squad?
Biden should honor our living wish and come clean on his corruption...
Lies, more lies. The Supreme Court cannot be eliminated by anyone! Dems are true politicians that lie and cheat, as they have always done! They are themselves first, people last!
I bet he does
Ethically, they should wait until Prez is sworn in Jan 20, whomever that will be. But who in the Govt is ethical anymore? Certainly not MitchMcConnell How does a guy worth $30million represent those who’s ave income is less than 100k? His own interests supersede constituents
My dying wish is for Biden to drop out
Obama wanted her to retire at 83 so he could replace her. Clinton thought she might be too old when he nominated her. He wanted Governor Cuomo.
These CNBC HEADLINES are starting to make me sick... Gonna have to find or establish a new financial channel time to disrupt. Texas for Trump 2020!
The democratic party is full of shit. lol
Who cares what she thought. Judiciary is supposed to be non partisan and she clearly was a liberal. It’s not her seat to decide who gets it. She should have retired years ago due to health but clearly held on for political reasons.
Wow, The democrats are burning American cities, destroying businesses, beating Americans on the street, ambushing and shooting police and now sending poison to the American president! The democratic base is horrific, who could vote for these slobs !?!
Lol
lol of course he will say that. Empty news
A dem's wish is none of my business
Let them talk... not happening!
So naive to assume that dying wishes are to become commands! As if RGB is a martyr dying on a cross.. C’mon, man!
Oh so now you want to play fair with Supreme nominees?
Awkward!
Please show us where she left that in writing because now we cannot fact check. fakenewsuntilprooven
BS.... FillTheSeat ITS CONSTITUTIONAL... if the donkey Dems had the Senate and WH they would definitely nominate a new justice...
Shocking. Big news!!!!!
America’s Court, not Ginsburg
This post should also be inherited to the offspring :)) Lifelong service is not enough!
I guess everyone in the comments forgot how Republicans blocked Obama from nominating a justice during his last term siting that it should be after the election. I guess you either have short memories or are hypocrites.
He also said you ain’t black if you don’t vote for him so fuck him.
Probably the stupidist thing ever said by a presidential candidate!
Don't worry , as dem took both house and senate, add more justices
After the election.
Sad that GOP used to say they have integrity etc but now they are the same as everyone else. No integrity or standard.
The arrogance is incredible
LOL
What a shock I thought he was gonna say they should vote on Trump’s nominee
Did she say that or is this propaganda?
My living wish, get on with it!
Republicans must be ground into the dirt on Nov. 3.
Allegedly .... no facts to support statement.
Well, there not going to. Should the Democrats listen to her about adding more Justices?
I missed that “dying wish” part in the Constitution
When did this country start being run like a make a wish foundation?
“Dying wish” isn’t in the constitution.
Who tf cares about her dying wish. It's not her seat, it's the people. The people elected a gop president and senate. FillTheSeat
Like the democrats would ya right
