Ginsberg says she will stay till 2020...despite not able to show up.

[LeeOnLido]

The "left" control nothing the Republicans do, the Democrats don't....The left is not the repubs or the dems since they are centrist. Where are these hard line communist and hard line socialist of the left that you keep claiming is in power?
Just like repubs -where is the KKK, white supremacist, fascist that are in power?

Fine. I will be less subtle.

The Democrats will try to pretend RBG is still alive if we do nothing about it.

I DEMAND weekly proof that she is alive.

.

You would better spend your time completing jigsaw puzzles than waiting with bated breathe on what a legislative body will accomplish..

i am beginning to notice that every time i see ruthy on TV, she seems to be sleeping,,,why?

She stays up too late at night on USMB.

ok,,,i thought it was from running 5 miles a day

 

[EvilCat Breath]

She needs to appear in public before people start to think she's dead already.

 

[rightwinger]

20 year term? I don't think we can get away with age discrimination by putting an age limit on the term.

i don't think we should.

the new rage is to jack with the constitution and tweak it to how we "feel" and this is the worst state of mind to be in when making said changes. both sides would do it for THEIR side, not the collective whole that it was written for.

ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE!!!
why? cause they think it will make their side win more often and more easily. however doing so negates the voice of many americans, both right and left minded but hey - the vocal juvenile leadership must have *their* way and the other side just needs to learn to deal with it. at least that how it comes across to me.

as for popping the hood of what has gotten us 243 years and "tinkering" - we're not collectively smart enough to do that right now as again, people who want to do this want to do it for selfish reasons, not collective.

The Electoral College negates the voice of Americans who clearly wanted Al Gore and Hillary to be President

it negates mob rules.

pros and cons were heavily discussed when writing the constitution. not like your pre-filled out que cards are going to say something on this topic our founding fathers didn't already cover. so when you show you can comprehend WHY they made it this way, then you'd be qualified to discuss potential changes.

going WAH WE DIDN'T WIN isn't a valid reason to change the system.

It negates one man, one vote
Some votes count more than others and it encourages minority rule

again - you are not saying anything here that wasn't blown up day 1 of writing the constitution. you are sitting here parroting your party bullet points and when confronted, you just parrot another and pretend your side thought this out.

the left is all about WE DIDN'T WIN and that's it. period. end of story. now you must find excuses and consolation prizes and don't see your short term vision can and will backfire in time.

which is why the founding fathers didn't this the emo-way the left wants to redo it now.

Republicans right now, are built around minority rule

They didn’t win the Presidency
They lost the House by nine million votes...despite their gerrymander
They hold the Senate by winning in lowly populated states, while states like NY and California get two Senators each

Over time, they will be unable to win anything. That is why they are so obsessed with stocking the courts......their last vestige of minority rule

 

[LeeOnLido]

i love watching her interviews as her head is laying down as if she passed out during the question

 

[mamooth]

people who are really smart don't have to tell people they are. it just shows.

It shows, for example, when people can't capitalize properly.

If you're going to participate in a thread about intelligence, you'd best proofread.

 

[kyzr]

So....she won't be there physically.....trump is not there mentally...

Actually a congressman on CNN this morning said Trump is very cerebral regarding the US direction in Syria. That was a pleasant surprise.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Because she's tired....

May she rest in peace.

Because you keep watching Fox that only shows her nodding.
What I have seen on TV is Ruthie lifting weights, working out and chatting with interviewers and speaking intelligently about the Court.
Leave it to the deplorables to start cheerleading for her death just to stack the Court further. Sick.

LOL, since when does an endorsement from a Congress Critter mean anything?

You realize that most of 'em couldn't tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth if their lives depended on it, right?

It's like Satan saying "Joe The Used Car Salesman, he's a really honest guy, trust him."

Well let’s be fair. When you make your mind up weeks before a Hearing & advertise that bias to the press, what’s the point of answering a bunch of redundant questions?

They play the minority even when they have the majority. They are useless.

Over time, they will be unable to win anything. That is why they are so obsessed with stocking the courts......their last vestige of minority rule

Well, after they have "stocked the courts" or "packed" the courts like the Democrats since FDR, we can tell them to stop. Only 81 more years to go.

 

[DOTR]

Ruth Bader Ginsburg will stay on Supreme Court until after 2020 election and people are delighted

There is the source.
There needs to be able to be a change where someone who ages passed the point of ability.

She embodies why we need to pop the hood open on the Constitution and tinker with it.

20 year term? I don't think we can get away with age discrimination by putting an age limit on the term.

That is why it is so hard to amend the constitution. And why the left now amends it by court fiat. It was designed to remain as it was written unless there was a huge and clear desire for a change that had been well thought out. For the left they know they are completely at odds with the country and New York and Kalifornia alone cant amend the constitution.
For instance the Founders, in their wisdom, did not provide for women voting. The nutty progressives of the early 20th century didnt like that. But give them this....they presented it to the people and changed the Constitution legally. So there you go. No sneaky court rulings (in fact the Supreme Court had already ruled that the Constitution did not provide for female suffrage Minor vs Happersett ). No end runs. Voila a new constitution!

I think this really started changing in the 1970's. The people rejected Equal Rights and defeated an amendment. So the liberals went to court and pretended that we had passed the amendment. And they said "hey this works better than facing the citizens in a vote!".

I think everyone realizes the only way to change or abolish the electoral college is through constitutional amendment. However how each state determines the allocation of its electoral vote is up that individual state. A state could divide it proportionately or winner take all, for example. All fifty states could, theoretically, agree that all their votes go to the winner of the popular vote. Whatever method the state chooses will ultimately be decided by the electorate in that state by whom they choose to put into office. I do not see any changes occurring in the system in the near future. I do not rule out that if we have a series of presidents losing the popular vote by 3 to 4 million but winning the presidency, public opinion may change.

Yes. Exactly what I was speaking of. There is no super majority to change the way the Constitution operates so the liberal plan is what it always is..go around it and change the way presidents are elected piecemeal. Its an admission that there is no support for it.

No I dont want to discuss the legalities of it. There are all kinds of ways to legally undermine good government.

 

[LeeOnLido]

well she does keep in shape, i wonder what she benches? 135?

 

[DOTR]

so what is the average age women live to?

These old liberals live a loooong time. But I cant see her outliving this term.
