Former President Bill Clinton speaks with CNN's Jake Tapper about why he decided to nominate Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the Supreme Court. Clinton said it is "superficially hypocritical" for President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans to push to put a new justice on the Supreme Court before the November election.
RBG seemed like a member of the family. That’s why the nation — the thinking portion of it — is mourning Justice Ginsburg.
For those that seek everlasting life, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today. Pray to The Lord and ask Him to come into your heart, accept Him as Your Lord and Savior. Believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and then resurrected on the 3rd day. 📕(1 Corinthians 15:1-4) “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you–unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” 💬By accepting Him as Your Savior in prayer and believing in His gospel, you are saved (John 3:16). But if you reject Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the wrath of God abides on you (John 3:36). No religion nor false gods can grant you everlasting life, Jesus is the only way to salvation. (John 14:6) “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”. Don’t be left behind at the rapture 🛑(1 Corinthians 15:50-54)
@John Lorenzo LOL!!! good one!!
She was, quite simply, an extraordinary specimen of HUMANITY. When America emerges- battered, bruised and likely physically mutilated- from this period of demagoguery and insanity, she will be (for better worse) mythologized. And I don’t support the mythologizing of ANY human, as we are ALL FLAWED, and mythologizing anyone makes actual, living humans, think they aren’t as good and can’t achieve as much good and change. But if anyone could live up to a myth- its the woman who raised two children who grew up to love her, and grandchildren who loved her, while SIMULTANEOUSLY being one of leas than a handful of women to be accepted to- and graduate FROM HARVARD LAW SCHOOL while taking care OF a husband battling CANCER in an era of crude medicine and extreme and accepted sexism.
Let’s be honest, half the country didn’t even know who she was.
@Mr. & Mrs Smith she will be mythologized? No one should be put that high on a pedestal, especially no one in the government.
“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.”
Denise Corzette Your point has no logic. I don’t care who said it & it’s quite clear that President Trump doesn’t either, as he shouldn’t. A Republican or Democrat, it does not matter. It’s in the US Constitution that President Trump has the ability to fill that seat. So shut up. You’re all fighting fact and dialogue with feelings and it’s pathetic. If you flipped the vacancy and had a Democrat president, you’d have no issue and you’d say exactly what I’m telling you.
@Hudfarvet er Dansk focus. If you can.
@Stash 777 liars and hypocrites can rationalize anything. That doesn’t make it right.
@Hudfarvet er Dansk fun fact your facts are opinions not facts
@wattsup1004 Truth..? How dare you use that word where Trump can see it….
That was Harry Reid who changed the rules….thank you Harry Reid…
There is no point to bringing up facts when opinion and passion call the shots
🦅🇺🇲💯
I’m really nervous about the future of the Supreme Court now that RBG has passed. Trump may try to force through another nepotistic sycophant, that will effectively alter the Constitutional consciousness for generations to come.
Don’t be nervous the country will run better with a Conservative justice. No one is taking away rights. Don’t listen to CNN nd liberal media.
A Democrat who’s party want to take away guns caring about the constitution…. LMFAO.
Voting counts, there are consequences.
@lipingsky duerer Yawn…
@Semper Fortis Or we could just lope off Florida…jus sayin
Why is anyone surprised when trump does the wrong thing.

Americans should be ashamed of having such a party! More than 20years,too many of them have been colluding with CCP, they have too much corruption case in CCP’s hands! (look at-The AI organization) They dare not to trace ccpvirus’ source.They used “political correctness” ,”racism”
to control the media and brainwashing people to attack trump, they forbidden people to tell and know truth! They prohibit using HCQ-the most effective medicine,let people die more, so they can accuse trump! The Congress’s Boss– Pelosi–really like a crazy dictator! USA is really SOS! Republican is too gentlemen, too restricted by rules. It’s hard for a gentlemen to contest with a shrew, besides, they are a group of!

@lipingsky duerer WOW! WOW!, you just showed how OUT OF Touch you are, that of which you just spewed is and will always be THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PERIOD. No hope for FOOLS LIKE YOU.
If you don’t like Clinton =Trump Trump just know how to scams you you see Trump create divide and call the media fake news otherwise you will be having the same feeling about him as Clinton or Bush Trump need Americans to hate each other’s this how he wins
Imagine that! Justices Scalia and Ginsburg riding the elephant together, both would become influential in GOP appointment to the Supreme Court.
Spot on….I don’t think we will ever find another RBG. May she rest in the arms of the Angels. God Bless You RBG! You will be truly missed!

You must be speaking of a god other
She was just a clump of cells
This is just causing more hate – wonder how many are professing to be Christians.
“Superficially hypocrisy “ yes, but do they care? Yes, but will anyone stop them?
The Drumpf has never been ‘President.’ So what do you do then, Hillbilly?
@Terminal Insanity Immediately? It was 11 MONTHS before the election and Typically it takes 3 months to swear one in. In those 11 months the Supreme Court could do almost nothing as there were 8 members, which could easily lead to a tie. Now, TWO months from the election, Republicans are claiming that “it’s our duty to fill the slot”, a complete turnaround from the “the American people should have a voice” statement they gave 11 months before the 2016 election.

McConnell is like Nero he thinks he can do anything with no repercussions
Grace Truth
Kegan, Sotomayo, and Roberts will soon retire and will be replaced with solid constitutionalist conservative justices. That is the only way to restore the nation to what the Founders created.
And laughs while Rome burns to the ground. 🤔
He’s right, McConnell gave himself the authority to veto any bill he decides to and has gotten away with it. He simply refuses to bring bills passed by the representatives of We The People to the Senate floor for debate and up/down vote. He is even more dangerous than Trump, he is every bit as evil, with none of the stupidity.
@lipingsky duerer a foreigner DUH!
McConnell thinks he can perform his constitutional duties without repurcussions? What? No way!! I thought this was supposed to be fascism!
Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia’s friendship is an example of what America should be! Let us not be a house divided against ourselves but united for good and not evil!
Tell that to ANTIFA as they burn down and/or loot another building.
I wish the country had listened to George Washington and avoided creating political parties. He was right in his predictions.
perp1exed
Well there’s a difference, Scalia’s death was untimely. Ginsberg was older than Methuselah and should have stepped down years ago.
@Jordan Davis Too bad that was mainly right-wing agitators. Like the proud boys and boogaloo. Bad children with no respect, the result of bad parenting. And such childish names. lol
@tomcat8662 still doesn’t make the republicans less hypocritical.
Say what you will about President Clinton, he made one of his best decisions when he chose Justice Ginsberg for the Court.
THEY WILL EAT THEIR WORDS. SMILE, LAUGH AND PUSH IT THROUGH!!! PURE SCUM !
Does anyone think for one minute demo’s woundn’t appoint a S.P. justice given the chance . YA I DIDN’T THINK SO….
Demons*
@Barry Mcbrush wow. I don’t know where to begin. First, eating their own, is a reference to sacrificing a senator or two. For the good of the republican party.
I didn’t mean actual cannibalism.
That was painful to even respond to
Liberals are pure trash…shumer said he would do the same if tables were turned…whoever is nominated will be lied upon set up..and drug through the mud by trashy liberals
@lord of the flys political parties were never a good idea. I typically side more with libertarians and republicans, but there are several in the Republican party I would definitely get rid off. The thing is at this point the people within the Democratic Party have moved so far left I couldn’t see supporting any of them.

@Denise Corzette that’s not true at all. why do leftists make up this duck speak? this is why i can no longer consider myself leftwing. donald trump is more leftwing than whatever the ‘left wing’ is today
If fascism ever come back it will be in the form of liberalism – Reagan
Actually there is an American Fascist Party and they nothing like the Republicans.
Obviously, McConnell is serving for His boss. Looks he’s happy in doing so. Wagging a tail.

Bill’s looking better than he did 4 years ago when his wife ran.
Your so right Jackson K.
Tammy Edgar I know I’m right. That’s a body double with Bills face slapped into it. Bill Clinton is having withdrawals from Adrenochrome. They probably borrowed some tech from android Zuckerberg
Yeah, he looks great, but then again….he always has.
Trump was tolerant to Bill before Hillary Clinton 2016. Three times.
@Jackson K lol idiot #2
Great justices that were able to debate and listen to each other’s opinions are going to be missed.
It would be nice for them to interpret the law by the constitution and political party affiliation.
This is the end of America as we knew it and admired it. Now it is just another kleptocracy
“There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being the president in his last year,” Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in a 2016 New York Times interview in which she called for Garland to receive a confirmation vote in the Senate.
As for whether the Senate should take up a vote on Garland, Ginsburg said at the time, “That’s their job.”
And the Senate rejected the argument. They set a precedent. It’s shameful.
@Valda Combs you must not keep up with politics much?
That’s fine, but it’s the reasoning of McConnell, Cruiz, and all other Republicans to not vote on Obama’s during his last year, but ok now. Cruiz said in on tape twice in 2016, if this were to happen in 2020 or 2024, no matter who is in office, they will NOT VOTE UNTIL AFTER ELECTION. You’re just being a typical Trumpster. You know you’re wrong, but you will argue why it’s ok to be a liar and hypocrite to get your way. No shame. Oh how far the GOP and it’s supporters have fallen
Steven Parker
I thought it was wrong in 2016. I don’t know How They got away with it. Well… that’s the senate’s fault. Not Trump’s.
This would’ve been a great time to ask Bill about that painting of him in a dress at Epstein’s mansion🤷♂️
