https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/2669382002Who might succeed Justice Ginsburg? Trump's short list begins with these four women (and one man)
-------------
Thrre are no acceptable choces on this list of 4.
McConnell's been waiting a long time for this opportunity of ultimate power.
He will ram his choice thru faster than anything.
He needs to please the KKKristian base by Nov 3rd.
These choices are all just frightening.& I fear for Roe & LGBTQ, Women & girls & bòys of all races, & that is a damned tragedy.

(15,325 posts)They only need this one issue & it's all they will campaign on.
Roe v Wade. Abortion is their golden ticket.
RW Doug Collins already threw out the call to their base.
This is all they'll have to repeat over & over until Nov 3.
Sick fuck GOP Doug Collins:
GOP Rep. Collins "Offers Condolences to '30 Million Innocent Babies' Who Died From Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Defense of Abortion"
Republican Georgia Congressman Doug Collins reacted to the news of the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg by bringing up Ginsberg's pro-choice record.

I havent read her must recent rulings... but I havent heard anything that would bump her from the top slot for conservatives

Yeah, I know it has some innocuous sounding name and purpose, but make no mistake, it's just as much a cult as Opus Dei, FLDS, Branch Dividians and so on.

(101,262 posts)They have positioned several right wing judges who could last 30 years or more on the court - all these are between 45 and 55, all serving on a circuit court of appeals.
They will do whatever they can to get 50 votes to confirm someone, as long as they're young and far right. If they think picking one who comes from a state with a vulnerable Republican senator will help that senator vote yes, then they will.
Any support for Dems challenging vulnerable senators now is vital. At the worst, we must make them choose between their job (and a Senate majority) or a right-wing nutjob in the Supreme Court. And then hope they want to keep their job, and won't confirm Trump's candidate - and get voted out anyway.
