Trump is HONORING Justice Ginsburg by making the pick a woman.

Just like GHW Bush honored Thurgood Marshall by picking Justice Thomas.

Kid why do you troll this board with your idiocy?

and why do you rejoice in the death of democracy?

Hadn't scrolled down to see this before responding.

And because democracy elevates women and Blacks, of course.

Trump is HONORING Justice Ginsburg by making the pick a woman.

Trump is serving his own goals by maintaining a woman seat.   If you can't grasp that in an election year when women are deserting Trump in vast numbers,  then you really are naive.

I will take that residual value, sure

Are you saying some undecided female independents are more apt to side with Trump if he chooses a woman?

Just making sure this is your actual point

Far be it for me to tell you how to argue, but I think you'd make more sense simply arguing that Trump can pick who he wants for whatever reason he wants.

No, saying that Trump believes that they are.

A four-four SCOTUS in a tightly contested Presidential election shoud make everyone nervous.

Highly contested? Biden should win this in a landslide as a clear majority of Americans understand Trump is a corrupt and inept authoritarian buffoon.

Familiarize yourself with the Electoral College. It's not about "the clear majority of Americans", nor what they "understand".

And follow the money.

I couldn't get into the Electoral College-dad wasn't able to underwrite a $10 million dorm.

Jared's lucky.

The point was Red's wish to have a Repub picked and pack SC decide the election presumably on party lines, rather than the actual votes of the American voters, which if accurately and fairly counted, would likely lead to a Biden victory over the fascist forces of evil.

You hope.

That's not a given, although 62% of Americans say that they want the elected POTUS to pick the next SCOTUS seat.

After all the work she did to benefit her gender, my guess is Justice Ginsburg would greatly prefer a female replace her

Thus my comment.

As you were now.

Trump is HONORING Justice Ginsburg by making the pick a woman.

That’s like saying Bush honored Thurgood Marshall by picking Clarence Thomas who couldn't be more diametrically opposed to Marshall.

Go back to sleep.

Spoken like an entitled white male.

She fought for justice and equality, not her gender, dimwit.

Doubt Trump understands that anymore than you are demonstrating here.

Just days after after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis won a court victory to keep felons from voting until they've paid off fines, restitution and court fees, billionaire Mike Bloomberg has stepped in to help them pay off the debts.

The former Democratic presidential candidate has helped raise more than $20 million so that felons who completed their prison sentences can vote in the presidential election. Bloomberg also has pledged $100 million to help Joe Biden win Florida.

“The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and no American should be denied that right. Working together with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, we are determined to end disenfranchisement and the discrimination that has always driven it,” Bloomberg said in a written statement.

A federal appellate court ruled on Sept. 11 that in addition to serving their sentences, Florida felons must pay all fines, restitution and legal fees before they can regain their right to vote. The case could have broad implications for the November elections. Florida has 29 electoral college votes that are crucial to President Donald Trump’s hopes of staying in the White House.

Under Amendment 4, which Florida voters passed overwhelmingly in 2018, felons who have completed their sentences would have voting rights restored. Republican lawmakers then moved to define what it means to complete a sentence.

In addition to prison time served, lawmakers directed that all legal financial obligations, including unpaid fines and restitution, would also have to be settled before a felon could be eligible to vote.

The Florida Rights Restitution Coalition had raised about $5 million before Bloomberg made calls to raise almost $17 million more, according to Bloomberg staffers.

The money is targeted for felons who registered to vote while the law was in question and who owe $1,500 or less. That accounts for about 31,100 people, the staffers said.

Poker game.

It's a nice thing for Bloomberg to do, whether or not voting rights are attached

Wouldn’t be a problem if Florida hadn’t instituted a poll tax out of thin air.

Which shows just how much you know.

If she just wanted a woman for the sake of a woman, then her last words would have been "please let them replace me with a woman."

She cared about rights, dickhead. Putting in a woman who will set back civil rights as a whole, not only turning back the clock on women's rights to the 1960s or even 1950s, is antithetical to everything she stood for.

Your reasoning is like Trump's or, for that matter, the GOP's when it put Palin in for Veep. The idea is not a woman for the sake of having a woman. I know, this is so hard for you to grasp!

You have managed to get me to the point where I might concede you are that stupid, when I would have argued on your behalf, before this.

(You should show more respect.)

She was getting a  conservative either way.

She is HONORED that it is a woman, keeping the balance of the Court as it is (looking to get to that 4-5 level)

And also increases the overall historical number of female justices by 25% - to FIVE.  That increases level to 4.3% from the 3.5% females (current level) that have previously been approved to serve.

You bet your ass Ruth would approve.
