Literally shaking. RIP to a hero to so many, including myself. Genuinely terrified for who might replace her right now.
Absolutely. Biden needs to pack the courts if McConnell tries to ram thru Ginsberg's replacement.
The Republicans would trade a loss for the supreme court majority easily.
They're going to ram through a replacement to rubber stamp any litigation resulting from the election in Trump's favor. Probably someone like Coney Barrett that's so bad he or she will make people nostalgic for Kavanaugh.
Maybe people should have voted in 2016 when they were told exactly this situation could have happened...
Yep. People needed to up and vote in 2016.
This is going to crush women and minorities.
We are fucked. If trump goes to court over the election we are fucked. Every single progressive thing that could have happened is all gone now. For a generation.
This is going to galvanize republicans to come out and vote for Trump in droves.

If there's a will there's a way. With a democrat controlled senate and president.
Even if that happens though I really doubt Biden and Schumer would have the guts to do it.
Why bother? He'll hammer someone through as soon as possible. Lifetime appointments don't mean shit for elections
Are you Rich?White?Conservative?
Best days ahead for you.
Everyone else 💀💀💀
If Dems get the Senate, they can remove the filibuster rule for regular votes, then change the law, them stack the courts. Will they though?
Even if they can't, they have after january to put up a new SCJ. It's gonna happen regardless.
You were in pain for so long but you always kept fighting to stick around just a little bit longer anyway. Thank you for everything you've done and rest in peace.
what about hearings and all of that shit. Don't they have to do that?
Motherfucker.
I'm already having a bad fucking day, and it just keeps piling on.
RIP to RBG, but this is a terrible day for all of us.

They'll ram someone through before she's buried if they want to. There's literally nothing that could stop them outside of an act of god.
RIP, amazing woman
but this really is the worst fucking year of all time, come on asteroid, do us all a favor

That is not true:
The answer is that under the Constitution, the number of Supreme Court Justices is not fixed, and Congress can change it by passing an act that is then signed by the President. Article III, Section 1, starts with a broad direction to Congress to establish the court system: "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."
Packing the Supreme Court explained - National Constitution Center
Senator Marco Rubio plans to propose a new constitutional amendment to permanently limit the Supreme Court to nine Justices. While Rubio faces a difficult task, the effort does raise some questions.constitutioncenter.org
I'm going to disregard this until it's confirmed. I don't have it in my to cling to this possibility especially if it doesn't end up panning out.
