Trump White House urging allies to prepare for possible RBG departure

[Madmallard]

The White House is reaching out to political allies and conservative activist groups to prepare for an ailing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s possible death or departure from the Supreme Court — an event that would trigger the second bitter confirmation battle of President Donald Trump’s tenure.

The outreach began after Ginsburg, 85, on Monday missed oral arguments at the court for the first time in her 25 years on the bench. The justice, who was nominated to the court by President Bill Clinton in 1993, announced in late December that she underwent a surgical procedure to remove two cancerous growths from her lungs.

The White House "is taking the temperature on possible short-list candidates, reaching out to key stakeholders, and just making sure that people are informed on the process," said a source familiar with those conversations, who spoke on background given the delicate nature of the subject. "They're doing it very quietly, of course, because the idea is not to be opportunistic, but just to be prepared so we aren't caught flat-footed."

Yeah. I don't think so. Most probable nominee is Judge Amy Coney Barrett, she would sick her seven kids on any accuser and it is unlikely most of us here on this forum would have been that fortunate.



There will be real fireworks. A constitutionalist judge who is a Catholic Republican woman, is the mother of seven (including 2 adopted children from Haiti), and former professor at Notre Dame. She was also on the Constitutional Conservative and pro 2A lists that Trump agreed to nominate.

Even if Trump gave them the candidate they wanted, they would refuse them. It will either be a complete 180 of the Kavanuagh confirmation, or it would be the next generation there of.

The democrats will do anything possible to prevent a pro life judge from replacing RBG and the fact this nominee is a Conservative Constitutionalist and likely very pro 2A makes it harder for them to swallow. I do not know what they can pull from their playbook to sabotage this candidate and they may only play the Roe v Wade card ad nauseam. Her nomination limits the left's go to Gender and Race play cards.

We are talking about master hypocrites here.

Yep. This nomination, however, would give the Whitehouse more amminition than Schumer could dodge.

While he is in office sure. The dems play the long game and I feel that any conservative majority we'd enjoy would be short lived because once the dems regain power, and they assuredly will at some point, they will just add more seats and expand the court in their favor.

This is serious, but I went to school with her and I personally saw her bullying a black girl in our class on many occasions. I will sign an affidavit to that effect.

I also personally partook in multiple animal torture sessions with her when we were teens.

She's also a closet communist. But not now when it's cool, but like before when it was a bad thing.

It's possible. I guess you just gotta play by the rules while you can. If RBG is replaced during Trump's term it will be an outside, best-case prediction from even the most pant-bulged of Trump supporters during his campaign. Replacing three justices in one term

So basically she is really a liberal.

Can’t claim she’s racist and can’t claim she sexually assisted anyone. She’s a shoe in. Even if she did sexually assult some one most would have liked it so...
