@Mott-The-Hoople I was always disappointed that Ginsburg did not step down over the last couple of years due to failing health, and not being able to keep up with the Nation's business. I wonder why she would not do that, so that a successor could pick up the flag.

@dendron saidI think she wanted to outlast the current administration.

Didn't quite make it.

@vivify saidBecause they didn’t have the moral authority to do it. But if the Republicans push a conservative candidate through the Democrats will have.
I wonder why Republicans didn't take advantage of this when they had the chance.
6:5 to the conservatives would be fair play.
Two new liberal seats required.
@ponderable saidThe entire Republican party is tarred with the hypocrite brush over this.
Nothing, the Seante majority leader is on record with that statement:
The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” McConnell said,
He wouldn't be lying like his buddy, would he? Conseravtives would rally him out very soon if they caught him standing neither to the truth no to his explained principles.
@mott-the-hoople saidTotally normal amount of hypocrisy going on this evening.
unusual amount of squirming going on this morning 😂
@mott-the-hoople saidFetuses, not babies.
a lot of people are in prison for the killing of the “unborn” if you want to talk about laws.
If a pregnant women is killed it counts as two.

Not a Communications major, I take it?
@mott-the-hoople saidThe only difference was the president was a Democrat then, and a Republican now.
the situation is a lot different now. Due to democrats trying to use judges to control our election process (now the usps too) the scotus will most likely decide the next US president.
Just as a refresher, that's called hypocrisy.

@mott-the-hoople saidWho says they won't control both by January?
how can dems expand anything without control of the house and senate?
In fact, it seems likely.
@dendron saidShe managed to keep up with the nation's business right to the end.

@Suzianne
And now it will be a fight to keep women's rights in place. I'm sure Trump was frothing at the mouth when RBG died, couldn't wait till she cooled off to try to push through yet another ultrarightwingnut as POTUS. I hope we can fight him off, they say even if he loses, as a lame duck in January, he can still try to pull it off, get his buddy installed before Biden takes office and maybe Moscow Mitch's last screw job as a senator.
We want our country back.

@earl-of-trumps saidJust becuase trump is nominating a woman doesn’t mean she’s gonna promote woman’s rights, does it?
@sonhouse - And now it will be a fight to keep women's rights in place.
And you bleat this nonsense out when you know Trump is nominating a woman to the Supreme Court.
No creds. I place your rantings in the "spam" category.
So, stop bleating the party line. It makes you sound moronic.

@ponderable saidIn the UK a high court trial has one judge. The Court of Appeal has three Appeal Court judges sitting and if a case gets as far as the Supreme Court only five of the Law Lords try it.
Actually in Germany the Supreme Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) the courst id divided into two senates of 8. Only very seldom the whole court is involved. I presume that is the same for the other nations with large highest courts.
The other difference from the US system is that judges are not political appointees. They're expected to make their decisions in a politically unbiased manner.
