Chris Scalia Remembers His Father's Unlikely Friendship With Ruth Bader Ginsburg | MSNBC
That is EXACTLY how people should be with each other
3 quotes:
“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.” — Mitch McConnell (2016)
“Let me be clear that the voters should pick the President and the President should pick the justice for the Senate to consider. This was the position of the Republican Senate took in 2016 when there were almost 10 months to go before the election. That’s the position the United States Senate must take today, and the election’s only 46 days off.” — Joe Biden (2020)
“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.” — RBG

Trump is POTUS and he can do anything he wants,
The END
That’s going nowhere
@Bruce Wayward Spoken like a true fascist. In America, we have checks and balances. One check is the upcoming election. BYE, DON 2020
@Allan Burns
If following Constitution is being fascist,
So be it.
According to constitution Trump should fill the SC seat, whenever there’s a vacancy.
As RBG has said, a president does not stop being a president in his last term,
Its his moral obligation to fill the SC vacancy as soon as possible.
Scalia’s last wish was to overturn Roe v Wade,
Trump is merely doing his job.
Intelligent intellectual respectful people who shared humor. Wonderful examples of opposites attracting and bonding together.
His father was a pompous wind-bag with very little in the way of compassionate empathy.
Why do we “need” to hear from its offspring?
Whole lot of REEEEEE’s going on
@Buddy Mckimmey But we’ve learned to block you trumptrash out, for the most part, trumptrash 😉
I definitely miss Barack Obama as president so much. He has been such an inspiration to me since 2008 when I was 12-13 years old!!! I miss reasonable, thoughtful and calming leadership!!! I’m really hoping that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win in November to abolish QANON, to dedicate the memory of RBG and to keep Barack Obama’s legacy that he worked so hard at, I’m really hoping that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win in November officially!! Elizabeth Warren, Eric Swalwell, Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg will make great cabinet members!!! Hillary Clinton will make a great US AG!!! Hopefully Barack Obama and Michelle Obama can be members of The Supreme Court!!!
Old school conservatives just had really bad politics, but could still be decent people. Trump’s RINO conservatives, just have the bad politics only multiplied by 10 & no redeeming qualities.
Wow,
Now you are a fan of Conservatives,
Okey dokey
Does Trump scare you????
@Bruce Wayward No, not by himself, only when combined with his dim-witted authoritarian, fascist loving enablers. If they wanted a dear leader they could have at least had the decency to not hero worship a dim-witted, incompetent whiner.
Politicizing the Supreme Court is wrong. SC is not a part of the parties nor a part of the Administration. And, no matter what kind of lawsuits Trump wants to bring to the SC, the SC would decide on the merit of the laws and the constitution. The obvious criminality of any lawsuits can’t be dismissed or killed by the SC. Even Bill Barr can’t deny or dismiss the SC decision if it is based on the laws and constitution.
Justice and laws will prevail in the end.
*Obamacare Will Increase Health Spending By $7,450 For A Typical Family of Four*
Sept 2013
*It was one of candidate Obama’s most vivid and concrete campaign promises. Forget about high minded (some might say high sounding) but gauzy promises of hope and change. This candidate solemnly pledged on June 5, 2008: “In an Obama administration, we’ll lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year….. We’ll do it by the end of my first term as President of the United States.” Unfortunately, the experts working for Medicare’s actuary have (yet again[1]) reported that in its first 10 years, Obamacare will boost health spending by “roughly $621 billion” above the amounts Americans would have spent without this misguided law.*
What this means for a typical family of four
$621 billion is a pretty eye-glazing number. Most readers will find it easier to think about how this number translates to a typical American family—the very family candidate Obama promised would see $2,500 in annual savings as far as the eye could see. So I have taken the latest year-by-year projections, divided by the projected U.S. population to determine the added amount per person and multiplied the result by 4.

Womp, Womp
Who offed Scalia in that hotel room? And WHY. we need the real truth . If he was a dirty dog racist or a beautiful soul who wanted equality to all men and women we need to know what side of the fence he was on.
Smart and funny ? Not going to cut it. What were his deep thoughts in his heart?
I know it’s crazy, but this interview actually brought a smile to my face. What do you know, apparently you can be on opposing sides of an argument and still be decent people.
Maybe we would have better media if they weren’t socializing with the subjects of their “investigations” so much. At this point I don’t find Scalia humorous at all. The damage done to Justice by him and his ilk is not funny.
Justice Ruth Ginsburg Thank you
for going ‘Above and Beyond’
working tirelessly (ESP weekends,
you will so ever be greatly missed!!
What a quaint notion civility seems now
If you are a woman with a credit card or a woman who has a mortgage in her name…you can thank RBG for fighting for your rights to be equal under the law.
1 Peter 4:7- The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.
1 Peter 1:13- Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, . . .
1 Corinthians 15:34- Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. . . .
Ephesians 5:14- For this reason it says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you.”
2 Timothy 4:5- But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, . . .

America has allowed a sociopathic con man to turn politics into a war zone
So that’s a very nice story about white privilege, bragging about the fact you had a father makes people feel bad.. And that’s all that matters in the world is how things feel.
