Now Trump will be able to appoint a conservative justice who be a strict constitutionalist, thereby giving the court a very solid conservative majority.

RIP RBG. Although socially moderate and fiscally conservative, I always found her to be one of the good ones in
DC. A total class act. You do not have to agree to respect. RIP

Rest in peace Ruth. When the courts are packed in 2021 we will lovingly pass the bill in your name. 13 Supreme Court Justices on the way, just one more case where FDR was ahead of his time

She should have retired during Obama's term. Oh well, we get what we get.

That will make tRump bullet proof. Any litigation regarding the election will be decided in his favor when it reaches the SCOTUS. If tRump ever gets convicted of any of the multiple felonies he has committed the SCOTUS will reverse the conviction.

I hope Trump nominates Tara Reade to replace her

This one is entirely on all the Bernie Crybabies who didn't vote for Hillary. This is the biggest and most expensive toy they broke in their psychotic rage. Thanks.

How many years before the end of Obama's second term would she have needed to retire, where the Republican Senate would "let" Obama make the choice? At least two, eh?

If the Democrats can't find a way to stall this until January 20, they should disband as a political party and go play in a sand box somewhere. Effing Antonin Scalia died on FEBRUARY 13, 2016 and Obama nominated Merrick Garland on MARCH 16th!

You really think that between now and Nov 3. I can hardly believe that. And if true, how can anything be done in the 40 something days left. I believe the outcome of the election will decide who is appointed.

Trump's term runs until Jan 20th, even if he loses. He'd have until then.

Zero chance someone is appointed before the election

It's OK now. Billy Barr will take care of any pitiful interference that Chuck Schumer tries to put up to keep Trump from naming her replacement.

Socially moderate? Are you kidding. She was the most liberal justice, socially and fiscally on the entire Court. She might have been more moderate than Bernie, but not by much.

Rest in peace, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The only way the Democrats can stall this is if they get the help of rinos like Romney and Susan Collins.

Might be good politics for Trump to say he's going to take his time and find the best person for the job (and then to nominate somebody right after the election). Perhaps a great American like William Barr.

I'd say it's more like 100%. although the Republicans are less monolithic than the Democrats. If 4 Republicans vote with the Democrats to stop a nomination, there will be no appointment before
January 20. One never knows about Romney, Collins, etc.

Jesus, they didn't have a machine or something they could've put her on to keep her technically alive for four months?!?

100% for before he leaves office, for sure.

The only way Trump will get to pick a new justice is if it's after the election. And I wouldn't call it a solid conservative majority, even if he gets one. Roberts is very moderate and can go either way quite often.

Right. My mistake. I meant before January 2021.
