The half of America who wanted to outlaw assault weapons is probably in line this morning!
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

The unprepared go from Crisis, to Crisis.
It is reported that one of her dying wishes, made to he granddaughter a day or two before she died was that Congress wait for a new President before she is replaced. If true, she remained a leftist political hack through her last breath. She should have retire a couple of years ago, but stayed only because of her hatred of our current President.
May she Rest In Peace, though I do not mourn her passing.

She prejudiced her position with her statements about the President of The United States, there is no forgiveness for this.
If you don't have an ample supply by now.....it may be too late unless you have very deep pockets.
Gentlemen and ladies.........keep what you have and keep your powder dry.
If these statements are true, then the statement she supposedly made to her granddaughter regarding her replacement must not have occurred. If that statement did occur, she is obviously not a principled jurist.
Those Democrats who are saying we need to honor her dying wish are asking us to honor a partisan and distinctly unprincipled request. To honor Ginsburg, we need to believe that she did not make this statement. To honor Ginsburg, we need to believe that her granddaughter is throwing her legacy under the bus for near term partisan gain.
A difficult situation for Little Chucky Schumer to be sure.
Well, it would be difficult if he had any honor.
Or knew what the word meant.

She did, however, express a profound distaste and distrust of President Trump.
She also seemed to be holding onto her seat on the bench during her health issues far longer than would a reasonable person in that position. Over the past 70 years, she is only the third justice who has died in office, though it was much more common prior.
Jackson died while serving after suffering a heart attack in October of 1954 at the age of 62. He had suffered a massive heart attack earlier in the year, but returned to the bench in a couple of months. The fatal heart attack was not expected.
Obviously Scalia's death was unexpected.
Ginsburg, however, was obviously very ill, and most likely terminally so for much of the past year. Most justices over the past century would have retired in her condition, but she made the decision to carry on. Given her comments regarding Trump, one can speculate that she would have retired had Clinton been in the White House.
Given this, while I hope that she did not make the comment, I would not be surprised if she did.

Like many democrats, she was a prejudice bigot who couldn't overcome her hate to sit through a State of the Union by a Republican President.
