Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leaves Behind Legal Legacy Promoting Equal Rights | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
Donald Trump is killing this country
Dan, Only having one thing to say is killing the idea that you might have a brain!
Please detail how he is killing the country.
How so brainy?
@Lazor Wolf -Hmmmm…let’s see…does the number 200,000 ring a bell?
We cannot do no more years of Donald J Trump
Who made this mess though? Yeah…get out of it yourself. I CAN do another 4 years…oh vote for biden so we can go back to sleep and “end white supremacy”? Be gone.
My comment will be deleted, anything logical is deemed inappropriate or breaking the rules…
You are going to have to leave then and good riddance.
Strap in son!
BIDEN/HARRIS 2020
Gabriel, No thanks We don’t want Dementia and Corn Pop!
Hopefully they push through a nominee so that Joe Biden cant take the guns if he wins.
Sherlock McCassidy lmfao. The Dems won’t take guns. They can try.
If Trump succeeds in confirming another extreme right winger in the SC ….
… the ACA will be killed and Roe v. Wade will be overturned. Americans need to act NOW! Call your senator! Vote! Protest!
Amazing how many millineal progressives are learning in real time that RBG was appointed by Bill Clinton.
After they literally called Bill & Hillary NEOLIBS who were no different from TRUMP for 5 yrs, they’re now crying at how drastically America will change if TRUMP replaces the CLINTON’S SCOTUS pick.
@RØCKΣT MΔN Look at Twitter. In 2016 we told them that the SCOTUS alone was reason to vote for Hillary Clinton. They all said, Hillary was the same as Trump & nothing would change so it didn’t matter. #NOW Everyone with a rose in their bio is blaming RBG for not retiring under Obama to justify their claims in 2016 that Hillary & Trump were the same.
Can we be candid here in saying that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the perfect example of why Supreme court justices should have TIME LIMITS. It was absolutely brutal to watch and listen to her in later yrs she was beyond OUT OF TOUCH and we haven’t even touched on the health. I think a term limit for Supreme court justices should be 16 yrs and no more, More or less 4 Presidential term.
Then maybe you should focus your attention to Clarence Thomas. He’s a pervert and one of the biggest cons the Supreme Court has ever seen.
It’s weird that in a country that supposedly prides itself on equality, there seem to be so many examples where we simply don’t treat everyone as equal. A real melon scratcher right there. 🤔 🙄
This country never prided its self on equality. We show pride on the rise and fall of ourselves on our own merits. That has been lost on a generation…maybe two.
@John Heyrich Yeah, I guess you’re right. I should have said that this country was founded on the ideal that all white men of a certain religion were created equal and that we’ve been trying to correct that ever since.
But I would counter that not everyone is able to “pride themselves on their own merits” when the system doesn’t give everyone the same chance to do that.
Ro, How so, C’mon man C’mon baby Ro explain yourself!
@Ro G Explain yourself baby Ro!
@Dementia Joe Fingers 👈 Too dumb to know that blacks were once counted as 3/5ths of a person and that women weren’t allowed to vote until 100 years ago.
😅😂🤣
*Let’s end this nightmare on November 3rd. MANA = Make America Normal Again. Vote Out Moronavirus Trump.*
Democrats will always #BelieveAllWomen because Kavanaugh
But then, democrats do not believe any women at all because Biden
God sent his Son Jesus Christ to saved you from all your sins. As He said in the book of *John **3:16* – _For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe on him should not perish, but have everlasting life_
_Christ died on the cross for your sins, was buried and third day He rose from the dead_ – *1Corinthians 15:1-4 Gospel of Salvation*
What it means? It means your death has been paid! What death? *The death of sin.* _The wage of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord_ – *Romans **6:23*
Believe him and you will be saved. It’s simple. As Paul said in the book of *Ephesians 2:8-9* – _For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast_
To be a good person means nothing. Why? Because we aren‘t saved by works, but by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
*What should I do to become a child of God?*
*A* – Admit you are a sinner in need of a Savior. As it is written: _There is non righteous, no, not one_ – *Romans **3:10**.* _For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God_ – *Romans **3:23*
*B* – Believe on finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the Cross – _Christ died for your sins, was buried and third day He rose again_ – *1Cor 15:1-4 Gospel of Salvation.* If you want to enter to the Kingdom of Heaven, you must have a faith like a child – children trust their parents. Why I mentioned parents? Because God is our Creator; He is our Father; He is our Parent – _Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart_ – *Jeremiah 1:5*
*C* – Call on the name of the Lord and you will be saved – _If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved_ – *Romans 10:9-10.* _For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved_ – *Romans **10:13*
Jesus Christ is the shower/water that cleans us of all unrighteousness. _Come now, let us settle the matter, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; thought they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool_ – *Isaiah **1:18*
Shalom, God bless you all
Best news Ive heard in a while. I was sitting there at a sushi place and someone next to me mentions it and I get this jolt. Ginsburg was too powerful to be alive and alot hung in the balance. RIP
Honorable Judge Ginsburg, You gave your all, so that others could live in dignity, you will be missed by all sane people, may you rest in Peace.
Her tombstone should read. HERE LIES RUTH BADER GINSBURG….SHE TRIED TO TAKE THE GUNS.
Cevdet Ali to bad she didn’t give her all to save the babies
We will impeach and ko Brett Kkkavanaugh this coming Feb. So don’t fret.
Hopefully they push through a nominee so that Joe Biden cant take the guns if he wins.
Veterans for Biden! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Republicans for Biden! ❤❤❤
America for Biden! 💙💜❤🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Helen,Biden wants to defund police and the military!
Helen, I feel sorry for you
RIP, RBG! 🙏 We honor your life and service! 💙💜❤🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
When Democrats win White House and Senate, expand Supreme Court to FIFTEEN Justices!
*Lest we forget… that the 200,000+ US Souls who haVe died from COVID-19… were ALL alive 9 months ago. R.I.P.*
It is dishonorable, dishonest, and highly hypocritical for Republicans to renege on their pledge about nominating SCOTUS justices in an election year. But, we already knew they were dishonorable, dishonest, and highly hypocritical power-obsessed hyper-partisan political hacks disgracing themselves, their party, and Congress.
All because of Toxic Trump and Republican’s poisonous pathological lying:
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are senselessly suffering and needlessly dying.
Right to life? That’s just a ludicrous joke Republicans like to tell.
Trump and Moscow are licking their chops.
If they will (and they will) get a Justice confirmed before the election it will be probably the biggest political win during his criminalcy’s presidency.
Democratic Party should not underestimate trump or he will WIN , & they will lose, his people are crazy, look what’s going on Chief Justice Ruth Ginsburg have not been death long & the Republic Party rushing to fulfill her position, we will remember in November [
We’re lucky to have& holds dear RBG
