President Trump urged Republicans to confirm a new Supreme Court justice 'without delay' following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

WASHINGTON—President Trump said Republicans have been put in power to select Supreme Court justices, declaring a day after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg that it is an obligation they must move on without delay.

Mr. Trump made the comments on Twitter Saturday, after Justice Ginsberg’s death injected fresh uncertainty into the presidential campaign and raised the prospect of a bitter nomination fight in the Senate.

This is a travesty! The nation is in mourning & the only thing this sorry excuse for president just wants to save his a$$! He doesn’t even give RBG the respect & decency she deserves! Even at this time he & his cohorts all they think is about themselves...just GREED & POWER!

There is no argument Republicans can make for seating a Justice in 2020 which does not imply they dishonored the Constitution in 2016.

Fight like hell to do her wishes.

Pack the court after 11/3.

mdlsin007uctacz What is special about this magogo besides her former occupation?

Ass****

That’s correct...

And why shouldn't they? The Dems have been so fair the last 4 years.

i knew his statement was fake as fuck

She was holding onto her carpet bag as long as she could.

Smart move. The seat has essentially been vacant for a year

I am accepted new clients to help with the grieving process. Let me help you get through these difficult times.

Yep, that period of mourning her death lasted about 12 hours!

Getting ahead of yourself. He’s not confirming anything yet.

I guess he doesn’t have much confidence in his reelection chances. What weakness!

Yeah, get on with it.

Republicans built this precedent. And them wanting to ignore it couldn't be more on brand.

This is not respectful to the career and service of Justice Ginsberg. You are a considerate leader. Please do the right thing and reverse your decision.

realDonaldTrump First there were 9 then there'll be 13.

We will need 9 justices by the election - since the Dems have been declaring war if trump is elected or worse yet if mail in requires the Supreme Court to act - Libs: be careful what you wish for !🇺🇸

Talk about a rush to judgment.

T Man 2020

He and McConnell are hypocrits who have corrupted the Federal government.

The post of Chief Justice belongs to the state and to the people. The country cannot be without officials in one day, and the people cannot be without officials in one day, which has nothing to do with human nature, let alone time! Recommend a new candidate immediately.

It's good timing for the Republicans. Stiff shit Democrats.

I assume he will nominate Merrick Garland

Stop with your gas lighting

👍

Opportunistic jackassery

No they do not. This is not a dictatorship ! --- Ask Obama ! !

Should be a black women. No more racist.

1 Two bifurcation effects: ·the passing of RBG itself might have galvanized, intensified and strengthened the will and aspiration of WeThePeople on the Dems side to vote out and remove President Tdumb from the Oval Office. nycsouthpaw neal_katyal ddale8 realDonaldTrump CNN

Can I love this president even more? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Back to business

Media will now bastardize what occurred & what McConnell did in 2016. 2016 Presidency was Dem & in most recent election 2014, electorate affirmed Sen Repub. The power was split. Today, Pres & Sen both same party w electorate re-affirmation of Sen in latest election 2018.

As he should 👍 way too many neo liberal policies being introduced. If that isn't scaled back freedom will be whiped out

Let’s remember her joy -her innate smile 😃 How she walked countless miles -To realize hidden dreams and unknown ties - so real -let us celebrate her longevity -Ruth Bader Ginsburg

He and his cult are clearly worried about the BidenHarrisLandslide2020 What’s the rush?

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa): “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.”

Lets hope 2020 will not end with a re-election of Trump . With that it will surely make 2020 the worst year ever

Common sense. With the amount of pure hate he has endured from liberal politicians and the press over the past 4 years , he is not going to pass this by. I didn't vote for him, just a neutral observer.

Idiot has spoken 🤥🤥🤥💯💯💯💯

Nope. Not how that works. Ask Moscow Mitch. He knows.

This is Trump's best opportunity to tilt SCOTUS to his favor...primarily for cases involving his own personal matters. Again, Trump's calculations that lead to action are all about him. This is the 'get out of jail' card that Trump's been looking for. BlockTheSeat

The body is not even cold yet and this is what they are saying? These people are disgusting human beings that have no honor, respect, integrity or hold any moral values. If this is allowed to take place our Republic will crumble.

realDonaldTrump we will wave all of our flags at full staff when you are gone from Office and wormfood.

What about a possible deal? Republicans agree not to nominate until January. Democrats agree not to pack the court for next 10 yrs.

lol, their tkt to election obliteration... TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpFailed failedstate NeverBidenNeverHarris

WithoutDelay Absolutely.

If RBG had wanted to be replaced by a liberal judge, she would have retired during the Obama years, but she didn’t, so let’s go ahead and replace her now!

Heck yeah. Thank goodness we have someone like Trump at this moment. You image a Jeb? He’d fold in no time at all.

Why should he not... the work must continue, although the democrats dont want it...

It’s 45 days before the election and voting has already started in some states. If 45 isn’t worried about Biden, then he can confidently say he’ll appoint the new Justice after election. I’m thinking he’s scared he’s not the winner he claims to be.

Hypocrites.

The rednecks at the Whitehouse are really scrambling today.

The nation mourns but also is lost. We have no United States Justice System. It is a political arm. That is all.

Good.

There is a special place in hell for Republicans!

F*CK the hypocrites in the SenateGOP, especially SenateMajLdr who said we have to wait in an election year to fill a seat for SCOTUS. This GOP couldn't even wait a day after she died to post about filling her seat. They are loathsome. Scotus

Those monsters. I hope democrats take this issue to a higher court.

via thedailybeast

Honestly, if this happens we are done. This nation will never stand together again, as it will be obvious, we are not 1!

The Democrats would do the exact same thing if they were in control of the Senate. A full SC is needed in case of any election dispute. Democrats need to get the f*** over it & get back to whining, threatening, rioting, property destruction & shutting things down to hurt people.

If they proceed, this will cost realDonaldTrump the WH and the GOP’s precious Senate majority. LetThePeopleDecide

Biden agrees

Mitch McConnell in 2016: “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.'

,the republican hypocrisy is self evident_______

This is Trump's best opportunity to tilt SCOTUS to his favor...primarily for cases involving his own personal matters. Again, Trump's calculations that lead to action are about him. His life depends on it, so he will fiercely do all he can do make this happen. BlockTheSeat

If he does it will cost him his election and the Senate. RBG had a last wish to be replaced with the next President.

Good. Would love to see a 6-3 supreme court soon.

Weird. Four years ago, senatemajldr said we don't do this in election years. Amazing how hypocrisy runs deep in the gop.

No

Thanks Ruth

After all, the Republicans back in 2016 didn't even give Merrick Garland a hearing.' When my coworker passed, our employer had to fill that position as soon as possible.
