Too late to replace her before the election (?), but it just makes the stakes even higher RIP to a tough lady |

RIP. This was the #1 reason to not vote Trump back in 2016. I know she was the type of person who didn't mind fighting and sticking it out, but it's also a bit of a shame she had to go in her position like this in order to keep human rights from falling back 50-years instead of retiring years ago on her own terms. Mitch McConnell is going to push through whoever Trump nominates. Surely no one believes they're going to let this opportunity, a truly once in a lifetime opportunity, slip them by. And surely no one thinks any of the GOP Senators besides Romney will be persuaded to switch sides, even those in serious danger of losing their seats like Susan "I'm Concerned" Collins this November. |

If he tries to put someone in before the election making it the major story of the next 7 weeks, it would risk energizing the Democrat voters. It would be a good litmus test of how confident Trump is as if he's convinced he's a lock to win he shouldn't fill the seat now. I guess he can technically fill it in November and December after a loss? But that would feel wrong and maybe more Republican senators would flip against it. |

They’ll wait until after the election and then make it their mission to put in a judge |

McConnell released a statement a mere hour after the announcement of her death saying the Senate will vote on Trump's nominee. Trump and the GOP, Romney and Murkowski aside (both confirming they won't vote tonight), will get this through, or do everything possible to get a vote on the floor. This is the dream GOP scenario, and they're going to give it their all to get it accomplished. |

Please hurry Mitch McConnell. Let’s get one more before it’s too late. |

Sad that they can vote on a judge but not a stimulus package. This might be a terrible decision, but this might be a sign the GOP thinks they will lose the election |

The Democrats getting 4 Republicans to flip seems pretty doable. |

So McConnell didn't let Obama get a justice replacement in at the end of his term saying the president being elected should do that. He went on to brag about this. Now with a similar situation he's doing the exact opposite. That is so hypocritical and disgusting. Not at all surprised. |

Rumor is four GOP senators will wait note vote until after the election. Smart move |

If Biden wins, he should just threaten every necessary GOP Senator with deserved prosecution unless they hold off. |

RBG and Scalia being able to disagree and still have a great relationship is admirable compared to the current environment |

John Roberts votes with the liberal judges nowadays, so whoever gets RBG’s seat will pretty much decides the majority vote. |

The next few months are going to be ugly. There's real, impactful concern that's completely separate from politics to be found in all this, but it's going to be overwhelmingly drowned out by the fighting and behavior from most of whom have little or no concern to even be had. |

I can't believe in four years how Trump continues to surprise me in fresh and exciting ways, but I genuinely thought he may have waited until Ruth's body wasn't still warm before he jumped at stirring up his base on Twitter about selecting the next Supreme Court Justice. I was wrong. |

It's the fringe on both sides that make us think liberals and conservatives can never, and most importantly, SHOULD NEVER be friends. |

Trump can put the Democrats in a very awkward position if he nominates a hispanic female from Florida in Barbara Lagoa. The oddsmakers have her and Amy Coney Barrett who is very conservative/religious as having the best chance. |
