Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, long-time hero of the liberal side, lost her long battle with cancer. She passed away yesterday. My condolences to her family. Seriously, she was beloved of someone. They deserve a chance to mourn.
The media is awash with speculation on who might replace her, or whether she will be replaced before the election. The anguish from the Democrats is palpable. Should President Trump presume to nominate a replacement, they will howl, oh how they will howl.
I've watched the last two nominations, and to say that I was appalled at the unfounded allegations is understatement. It is my sincere belief that somewhere in a small room, someone is being coached with nearly religious fervor in casee our president decides to name a replacement. I am not the only one who expects this.
Without document-able proof from the time period, it is character assassination and should be inadmissible. Because of crap like that women who have been abused are not taken seriously. Every woman who knows a woman who has bore false witness should ostracize said woman.
ReplyDeleteTrump is saying he will "probably" nominate a woman for the position.
ReplyDeleteBarbara Lagoa is on his list. Trump appointed Lagoa to the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals in 2019. Before that, she was the first Hispanic woman and the first Cuban American woman on the Supreme Court of Florida.
I think he should consider a female black conservative judge. Janice Rodgers Brown is a possibility, althought her age is a downside(she's 71).
From now till the end of 2020 should prove....interesting.
