    2. Unfortunately they don’t care about legacy. As William Barr put it: “Everyone dies, and I am not, you know, I don’t believe in the Homeric idea that, you know, immortality comes by, you know, having odes sung about you over the centuries”. Rudy Giuliani just to mention some of Trump’s boys said “I don’t care about my legacy, I’ll be dead.” So it’s a pretty ineffective moral corner to try to paint them into.

    5. Boot licker who has no integrity. He is is eating his own vomit. He opposed president Obama appointing a court justice by being hypocritical about his stand about the replacement of Scalia. It was during Obama’s presidency but now it’s ok during trump’s presidency. Shame on him and all Republicans who have chosen to be dogs and eat their vomit.

  7. These Repukes are disgusting, RBG dies, and not one day goes by and they’re already licking their chops to fill her seat.

    3. Bill Walsh, I find it disgusting that Trump and Republicans can’t show respect and wait until after RBG’s funeral to be discussing her replacement. Besides, since it’s an election year, they should abide by what many of them claimed in 2016 to wait for the election and wait for the next president to make the appointment.

    5. @ChantYip your comment to John James that Trump is just following the Constitution. Well, didn’t you hear about why charges of impeachment were brought against Trump several months ago? He violated the Constitution by soliciting a foreign country, Ukraine, to help him cheat in the upcoming election. He doesn’t care about the Constitution only unless it can benefit him.

  8. We could have a “Politician’s Word Law” that says and means “When someone who holds public office, or a candidate for public office, gives their word on the record regarding a specific matter, they have already cast their vote for that specific matter.”
    “Campaign Promises” would literally mean, for example, that if a Presidential candidate endorses a bill, and that bill passes through Congress, the bill automatically becomes law the minute the President is inaugurated!
    It would also give Presidential Candidates the opportunity to draft bills that Congress may subsequently choose to take to a vote, with the knowledge that (if that candidate wins the Presidency) the minute Congress passes a bill that it becomes Law because the President has already accepted it.
    The guiding principle for this law would be (and the law would include the text) “To help to ensure that the American Public has reason to have faith and trust in their elected officials….”
    Perhaps we could add this to Elizabeth Warren’s “ANTI-CORRUPTION AND PUBLIC INTEGRITY ACT”

    1. Interesting concept. Shame that integrity ,honesty and politics don’t mix very well. Easier to cross breed a parakeet and a pig!

    1. Rocky Roads Yes they have. Democrats should be ashamed for their apathy and weakness though. They should at least be strong enough to get the Republicans to take some time for the family of Justice Ginsburg to have some time to grieve. This back and forth within the White House and the Republicans about who’s going to fill her seat is just another reminder of how low has the political climate descended in DC, and how inhuman have the politicians become in this country. It’s sickening.

  10. “Use my words against me”
    Unreal and these people just blindly still vote for people like this. How? He has no honor! Like a child, can’t keep his word. Such a simple thing to do. I hope all republicans are watching this and realizing this how your party keeps their promises. And you expect them to keep their word when they tell you something???? Something to think about there! Food for thought!!!

    1. I will not vote for a single incumbent. Party be damned, we must have a clean slate and start over! Rest In Peace Justice Ginsburg, you clarified how corrupt and unAmerican this administration is.
