" The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship."

I have it on good information that 3 of the people on tRump's shortlist are:

1. A 27 year old male traffic court commissioner in Bugtussle, Kentucky, who is also the president of the local chapter of QAnon;

2. A Russian oligarch with suspected ties to the GRU. tRump officiated at his naturalization ceremony in the Oval Office late this afternoon;

3. Governor Ron DeSantis, provided he can Jeb Bush Florida in tRump's favor in the upcoming election.

I'll add that I'm sad that RBG passed before she could retire of her own volition. I disagreed with her legal stances on many occasions but respected her as a person of integrity who stuck to her values and worked well with her colleagues, even when they disagreed.

Another decent post in a thread with too few decent posts.

@SCOTUSblog on RGB:

Born Joan Ruth Bader on March 15, 1933, she was quickly nicknamed "Kiki" by her older sister Marilyn, who died in 1934 of meningitis at the age of 6. Neither of her parents attended college: Her father, Nathan, came to the US from Russia as a teenager and worked as a furrier.

Her mother, Celia Amster Bader, was born a few months after her parents arrived in the country from Austria and worked in a garment factory. Her mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer around the time Ginsburg began 9th grade and died 2 days before her high school graduation.

After arriving at Cornell, she met Martin (Marty) Ginsburg on a blind date. Marty Ginsburg was, Ginsburg said, "the first boy I knew who cared that I had a brain."

During law school, Marty Ginsburg was diagnosed with testicular cancer, requiring two surgeries & radiation therapy. Ruth Ginsburg cared not only for their daughter Jane then a toddler, but also for Marty, and typed his papers for him while keeping up with her own coursework.

Although Ruth Ginsburg had completed two years at Harvard, her degree would come from Columbia, where she graduated at the top of her class. She was the first person to be a member of both the Harvard Law Review and the Columbia Law Review.

Despite her top grades at Columbia, no law firm in NY would hire Ginsburg after graduation. Many years later she observed that she had "struck out on 3 grounds. I was Jewish, a woman, & a mother. The 1st raised one eyebrow; the 2nd, two; the 3rd made me indubitably inadmissible."

Ginsburg argued 6 cases before SCOTUS, winning 5. Her 1st argument came in 1973, in the case of Sharron Frontiero, an Air Force lieutenant who challenged a federal benefits law that treated married female members of the armed forces less favorably than their male counterparts.

A major part of the strategy employed by Ginsburg and the ACLU was using men as plaintiffs to challenge gender-based classifications. She said, "the men were complaining about discrimination rooted in a certain way of thinking about women as dependents, much like children, subservient to the male head of the household," but these cases also "helped judges who, in those days, were almost uniformly male to understand that" these distinctions also harmed men and children.

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

---

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!

---

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

---

On the contrary, they're two of the last republicans left.

I seriously doubt it will hold, especially if Trump nominates a sitting U.S. Senator, like Ted Cruz. The rinos in the Senate will have a hard time voting against one of their own.

---

I think this is bigger than offending a colleague. If you keep changing precedents to suit each situation, then eventually it'll come back to bite you in the ass.

---

True, but the sitting senators never seem to worry about the long-term consequences of their actions. They only concern themselves with the near-term and their self-interest.

---

If you're willing to ignore norms when they suit you, you'll have to abide should the court get packed.

If Trump and the Republicans were politically smart, they would say they won't nominate before the election and they will be respectful. That way they look good to moderates and the message to conservatives is if you want to get rid of abortion and gay marriage, this is your chance, but you have to fall in line and vote Republican to do it.

Simple: hold the vote in the lame duck session after the election.

I think the gay marriage boat has sailed but Republicans are still strongly against abortion.

The precedent is that no Senate majority has confirmed a Supreme Court nominee in the last year of a Senate minority party's lame duck presidential term.

There have been other nominations and appointments in the last year from presidents of the same party as the Senate majority

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.

He can correct you himself, but read it again again. Think of his posting history. It goes without saying she is liberal. He is saying that he respected her despite the fact that he differs politically.

It was one of unfortunately too few decent posts on here.

This is peak Golden One. Completely fails to understand someone's statement and then when called on it he will fight to the death justifying an obviously wrong position. This is moops from Seinfeld if the card was actually correct but misread. This is yet another reason why G1 has no credibility.

Well, to be honest, it was probably more like the fourth or fifth thing, mainly because I was already in Off Topic. Still, I knew without even opening up any of the topics that you would be celebrating and I was right.
