What does it say about any judge that they would accept a nomination from Donald Trump

to replace an icon like RBG before she is even buried and less than six weeks before the presidential election?

What person with an ounce of decency does not understand that THIS nomination by THIS person to replace THIS Justice at THIS time will forever taint any judge who accepts it?

and got her family and self all gussied up to accept the nomination from Mr. Immorality himself.
I wonder if she ever considered why an immoral man that boasts about his immorality would chose her to be on the court?
I think it is a fair question to ask during confirmation hearings.
