The high court now stands at 5-3 ideologically with conservatives having the majority. - PeteWilliamsNBC

If Roberts, who has voted in the past to uphold the law, sided with the liberals this time, that 4-4 tie would leave the lower court ruling in place, which declared the law invalid., asks the justices to decide whether there's a religious freedom exception to nondiscrimination laws.

One of Ginsburg's closest friends, Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio, reported that a few days before her death, the justice:"My fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed." During the past 45 years, the average time from a president's announcement of a Supreme Court nominee until the Senate votes to confirm is 70 days. Assuming, as he suggested Saturday he intends to do, that would put a confirmation vote in late November or early December.

The process has moved more quickly the in the past. John Paul Stevens took his seat on the Supreme Court just 19 days after President Gerald Ford nominated him in 1975 to succeed William O. Douglas. Sandra Day O'Connor's confirmation followed 33 days after she was nominated by President Ronald Reagan.

If the Scotus rules against healthcare for the people it will show partisan politics has taken over our highest court. No longer for the people. We need our healthcare and pre existing condition coverages. It means death for many. ACLU JohnRoberts_CJ

All that would do is ruin families rob from the poor give even more to the rich Never enough greed in the world, it’s becoming a deplorable situation!For all ! Except the richest people on Earth, who when they have everything money can buy then see who they can buy!

Wonder how many Trump supporters have pre existing conditions ? Cult45

Affordable, in name only.

Maybe the timing of this hearing is not appropriate, just like the Democrats think the timing of the nominee for SCOTUS is inappropriate. All these things are coming at us during a pandemic. We don't know how the SCOTUS will rule on Obamacare. Consider Roberts' liberal leanings.

And there are probably more people in those red states on the ACA than in blue states. And not one has the slightest clue that ACA IS ObamaCare. They are cheering the abolishment of their own health care.

Bye 👋🏻

Obamacare will be struck down and Trump will say insurers cannot discriminate against preexisting conditions and they can tailor the insurance plan HOWEVER THEY WANT. Less regulations...

Please understand everyone. Your healthcare is literally on the line. Vote

PeteWilliamsNBC If congress hasn't yet passed the bill to continue funding, it should not do so until assured the vacancy will not be filled until after inauguration.

PeteWilliamsNBC Dear God. In the middle of a pandemic.

PeteWilliamsNBC Who says the Supreme Court needs just nine members? According to McConnell, you can change the rules whenever you want.

PeteWilliamsNBC Are you insinuating that Supreme Court Justices are politically biased? So much for a blind lady justice I guess. I am old enough to remember when liberals were upset that Trumped dare suggest the same thing.

PeteWilliamsNBC Hmm So busy with fake Russia collusion scheme lost track of courts Trump has made 270 appointments, I hope he doubles it.

PeteWilliamsNBC “There have been 29 times a vacancy opened during an election year or prior to an inauguration … Every single time, the sitting president made a nomination.” -

PeteWilliamsNBC The high court will be just like the senate, frozen.

PeteWilliamsNBC *soon to be 6-3

PeteWilliamsNBC God love her. I believe she really tried to hang on till the new President was in office. Her mind was there but her body was too tired. I will keep her in my prayers.

PeteWilliamsNBC They took Obama's Nominee away from hem 10 months before the election. It's just over 40 days until the trump vs Biden election. If Obama can't nominee the Supreme Court Justice 10 months before the elections then it shouldn't be allowed for trump!!! JoeBiden

PeteWilliamsNBC this is actually going to cement Trump's loss - If Trump wins you will lose your health care and you will get nothing for it Tie this in to his attitude to the pandemic as proof These are easy messages to get across for Biden

PeteWilliamsNBC Bullshit it's 4- 4

PeteWilliamsNBC A conservative court stands in the way of American progress. A liberal court could be a destabilizing force if not tempered. The court should fully represent the American People and the spectrum of jurisprudence under US law. Expand the court.

PeteWilliamsNBC Bout to be 6-3 baby!

PeteWilliamsNBC Soon to be 6-3! It’s called winning, bitches!

PeteWilliamsNBC Sadly, RBG chose not to retire while Obama was president.

PeteWilliamsNBC Good

PeteWilliamsNBC You can thank Obama an the dems for this

PeteWilliamsNBC Great. Soon it won't just be women being held thru ICE receiving a hysterectomy. It'll be an Oprah style give out. You're getting a hysterectomy & you're getting a hysterectomy!

PeteWilliamsNBC Wait until it's 6-3

PeteWilliamsNBC Let them eat Dollar Store Aspirin

PeteWilliamsNBC Thank goodness!!

PeteWilliamsNBC Let me fix your tweet. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

PeteWilliamsNBC Oh I think you’re mistaken about Roberts. He’s no conservative.

PeteWilliamsNBC You mean the Obamacare that caused my heath insurance to cost more? Damn.

PeteWilliamsNBC This is the problem with the United States Supreme Court, it shouldn't be about ideology. It should be an impartial apolitical institution.

PeteWilliamsNBC Yet American stands at 65% to 35% in favour of Liberals. You have a gerrymandered, confederate SCOTUS.

PeteWilliamsNBC AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! 🤣😂😂🤣🤣

PeteWilliamsNBC Won't happen. The good American people won't let it happen. The country is already a backwards dumpster fire. It will be a fight the facist will not win. I believe in you USA!

PeteWilliamsNBC Bout to be 6-3

PeteWilliamsNBC They can't stop people from going to WWE WrestleMania 37 and whoever you are that is trying to stop it and them they themselves will get a Stone Cold Stunner

PeteWilliamsNBC Which is why the SCOTUS should double or triple in size under Biden/Harris.

PeteWilliamsNBC we would not rely so much on the judiciary if the legislative branch wasn't completely broken and unable to do their jobs

PeteWilliamsNBC pretty sure the entire planet is now aware of this fact.

PeteWilliamsNBC This is false. Roberts in no conservative. It’s 4/4

PeteWilliamsNBC Many lived with it the other way. We survived to vote in a change. NOW LIVE WITH IT

PeteWilliamsNBC Which would be suicide for the Republicans.

PeteWilliamsNBC Fk Republicans and their bs. Vote blue. Vote them all out.

PeteWilliamsNBC More like 3-3 with an unknown and a swinger.

PeteWilliamsNBC Total fake news. It’s deadlocked 4-4. Roberts has voted with the Liberals on every major ruling for the last 6 years.

PeteWilliamsNBC Soon to be 6-3

PeteWilliamsNBC A sick smirk was on Mitch McConnells face when talking about replacing the deceased Ginsburg. That is beneath contempt, even for Moscow’s own prostidude
