    when you engage the #GOP in good faith, they whine you can't have a new #scotus justice in a presidential #election year

    #centrist #democrats folded, milquetoast, weak, and we got #gorsuch instead of #garland replacing #scalia

    scalia died feb '16, gorsuch confirmed apr '17

    then they hammer through a new supreme court justice with an election 2 months out, #barrett replacing #ginsburg

    ginsburg died sep '20, barrett confirmed oct '20

    the GOP only deserves ash. fuck them forever

  3. Fuck #Breyer and #Ginsburg and damn them both to hell for their deliberate decisions to not retire in a timely manner sufficient enough to allow #Obama to appoint their successors.

    They were neither impartial nor liberal, but rather fully and willfully complicit in creating the current #SupremeCourt.

    Selfish egotists.

    IIRC, the "gifts" Justice #Ginsburg received were in the form of "medical aid for her dying husband."

  5. @rbreich the #democrats let #trump choose the new judge while they had the chance to choose at the government chance. Then the #republicans didn’t the same when #biden got elected to choose the replacement of #ginsburg #dems are to polite and trustworthy the reps!

  6. Democratic senator Richard Blumenthal is turning up the heat on Supreme Court Justice #Sonia #Sotomayor to step down while Democrats can select her replacement.
    Speaking with NBC’s Sahil Kapur for a story published Wednesday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) made a veiled reference to the late Justice #Ruth #Bader #Ginsburg
    — who ignored calls to step down for years during former President Barack Obama’s tenure.
    She passed away in 2020, with former President Donald Trump choosing her successor.
    “I’m very respectful of Justice Sotomayor,” Blumenthal told NBC. “I have great admiration for her.
    But I think she really has to weigh the competing factors. We should learn a lesson.
    And it’s not like there’s any mystery here about what the lesson should be. The old saying
    — graveyards are full of indispensable people, ourselves in this body included.”

    The idea of the 69-year-old Sotomayor stepping down has gained momentum in recent days.
    Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan made the argument for the justice to retire in a recent column for The Guardian.
    “Wouldn’t a replacement for Sotomayor that Senator Joe Manchin has to approve be less progressive, and more centrist, than our sole Latina, super-progressive justice?” Hasan wrote.
    “Perhaps. But, again, consider the alternative. Would we rather Biden replace Sotomayor with a centrist in 2024 … or Trump replace her with a far-right Federalist Society goon in 2025?”

  7. Biden's arrogant refusal to accept the polls and step down is going to put us in the ‘#Ginsburg Dilemma’ where you have an old fart unwilling to give up power! Due to Ruth's refusal to to resign we ended up with a majority right wing conservative #SupremeCourt.

    And now #Biden is putting us in a situation where we may very well end up with a #Fascist, alt-#RightWing #TRump

  12. Vor dreißig Jahren wurde Ruth Bader #Ginsburg als Richterin vereidigt und vor knapp drei Jahren starb sie.

    Wenn mal Gelegenheit habt, schaut euch den Film "RBG - Ein Leben für die Gerechtigkeit" an.

  13. @thedemocrats #Ginsburged us with RBG. They’re #Ginsburging us again since February with @SenFeinstein. And they’ll #Ginsburg us again with @JoeBiden. He will die in office on us.

  14. I argue that #Kagan and #Sotomayor should retire for the same reasons #Ginsburg and #Breyer should have retired in 2014. There's no guarantee we'll have a D president and Senate again for another decade or more.

  15. Nach 30 Jahren Freiluft-Gottesdienst zu Himmelfahrt an der Ginsburg haben die Hilchenbacher zum ersten Mal drinnen gefeiert - wegen Corona. Unmut gab es deshalb nicht. Hilchenbach: Gottesdienst drinnen statt draußen
