Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Death – Bad Timing for the Presidential Election?

I received this opinion piece from Your Good Brother early this morning and I wanted to share it with the American Partisan readership. He brings up some great points that we all need to ponder before we celebrate the empty seat on the Supreme Court. Be careful of what you wish for. JMc

The death of RGB could not come at a worse time for this election. Both sides will use it as a rally cry for anyone still on the fence. Trump will most likely try to squeeze an appointment in before the election but there is a particularly good chance regardless of what McConnel has said in the past that they will let the appointment go through. Here is why:

This puts the Senate into a catch-22 situation. They blocked Obama’s appointment of Merrick Garland on the grounds that it was too close to election and the next president should get that opportunity. The Democrats are going to demand that the Senate wait until after the election just like with Obama. If the Senate agrees then the rally cry for them becomes “The SCOTUS is at stake!” Of course, this will be the same rally cry for the Republican’s as well. “Vote Trump or we lose the chance to finally pack the court!” This will make what is sure to be a tight race even tighter.

My prediction is that the Senate will not allow an appointment. The reason why is that while everyone frets over the Presidential election the real battle for the next 2-4 years of our nation is the Senate. Democrats need to flip 5 seats to gain control. It is not likely that they will lose the House but if we lose the Senate it does not matter who gets the White House it is over. If Biden wins imagine the first two years of Obama with a Democrat Congress on steroids. If Trump wins, he will not be able to do anything with a Democratic Congress. That is the least of his worries as Impeachment 2.0 will soon follow. If the Senate allows Trump to appoint a new justice before the election, they can pretty much kiss those 5 seats good bye. North Carolina, Montana, Texas, and Colorado are 4 races that are the most in jeopardy and are razor thin. I just don’t see McConnell allowing an appointment when it would allow the opposition the ammo they need to flip the Senate.

Regardless of what folks think motivating voters to get the polls is still how elections are won. Right now, the Democrats have put truly little efforts into traditional grassroots efforts and instead are relying on a heavy digital approach. They are not chasing the senior citizen vote now that their base is much younger. They are pushing hard on these Senate races and letting the MSM do the bulk of the work on Biden/Harris. The true reason they are pushing vote by mail is not so they can commit massive fraud. They are doing it the same reason why they push so hard for early voting. Both must be done early in the process and once the vote is cast you cannot change it. So, if an October surprise comes out and most of their base has voted it is no big deal. They want the election decided two weeks before November 3rd. Looking over data from the recent primary vote by mail and early voting where up from last election for both parties but increasingly the Democrats are early voters and Republicans wait until the day of the election.

Over all the Democrats are all in when it comes to every House, Senate and Presidential race. Republicans just think it is about getting Trump elected and that is all they seem to care about. It is like pulling teeth to get a Republican to take action to help get a Republican senator elected to keep the Senate. They have fallen under the same spell that the Democrats did with Obama. They think that going to Trump rallies and doing boat parades will win the election when to reach conservative voters the work is still done phone to phone and door to door. If Trump wins in November, his supporters are going to have a rude awakening if the Senate flips.

So, there it is like it or not.

    Do the appointment.. Do it, DO IT NOW!
    Let the Leftist temper tantrum, BURN DOWN THE WHOLE FRICKIN WORLD..
    THAT will be the deciding factor!

    Oh…..like keeping Democrats-in-Republican clothing such as Toomey-R and S. Collins in power, is a good thing ?

    Democrat/Republican = Left Wing/Right Wing, same treacherous bird !

    One issue overlooked in this commentary is that the Donks are going to contest the election relentlessly and it will go all the way to the Supreme Court. Which, as it currently sits, is made up of 4 liberals and 4 conservatives. When the Donks tried to get Garland nominated it wasn’t as if they said they didn’t want to offer up someone, they went right ahead with a nomination. It was the Senate that let the clock run out. To go into this election without a full 9 jurists is going to be throwing gas on an already raging fire. The best course of action may be to wait until after the election and if Trump wins or looses he will still be the president until January. The bigger issue is enough votes in the senate. If the Donks take over the senate they will have no power until January. I believe the saving grace for America is that the Republicans will retake the house, retain the senate, and Trump will have a second term to finish cleaning house. Good will prevail over evil.

      What is not being stated on the boob tube Green Mountain Shooter, is that Obama nominated Merrick Garland after Justice Antonin Scalia passed. The reason why he is not on the bench today is because McConnell held up the proceedings.

      To the best of my knowledge Ronald Reagan did this in the last year of his Presidency nominating Anthony Kennedy to the empty seat on the bench. I am sure it has been done a dozen times since 1791. I just do not have the time to look right now.

      All good stuff Brother.

        And in 16, Chuck Shumer was saying “DO YOUR JOB”, to the Senate..
        Now the shoe is on the other foot.. So, OK, what would the Demonrats do???

        They would force the issue to their advantage, naturally.. We should do the same!

        I believe that in our country’s history, this has happened 28 or 29 times (nomination of a new Supreme during an election year), and has been postponed to after the election only once.
        Both sides of the aisle have argued to allow nominations this close to an election, so it’s not an issue legally. They’ll just wet their diapers a bit more this time.

        • johnyMac September 19, 2020 at 15:14

          Yupper Ned Crabb. Maybe for this Wednesdays Fun Facts I will look them up and post. It is good to have facts in your hands to debate with folks.

    Ruth Bader Ginsburg is DEAD and So is the Democrats’ HOPES at STEALING the ELECTION!!!

    “Left wing liberals worst nightmare has come true!”

    [Dr. Steve Turley, very good 7m video]

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqcCnujLTKs&ab_channel=Dr.SteveTurley

    My take: the DemSocRat “Operation Red Mirage” post-election coup plan totally fails with SCOTUS minus RBG. The Rat post-election mass-mail-in-ballot-stuffing plan was going to wind up at the SCOTUS, for certain. Neither Trump nor Biden can be affirmed and cleared for inauguration on January 20 without a clear SCOTUS decision.

    With RBG gone, SCOTUS is now 4-4. Roberts will never side with the libs to remove Trump based on bogus mail-in ballots.

    With RBG there was a chance Roberts might have flipped over to the libs for a conclusive 5-4 anti-Trump outcome. Operation Red Mirage depended on this. Red Mirage fails with a 4-4 SCOTUS.

    The SCOTUS can’t leave the outcome 4-4, it will demand a conclusive vote. Roberts will not side with the Rats to remove Trump based on post-election bogus ballots. If he did, the country would explode in Civil War, and he knows it.

    Operation Red Mirage is as dead as RBG.

    • johnyMac September 19, 2020 at 10:30

      Matt, maybe with RBG passing is divine intervention.

      Take care Brother

      I hope you’re right, but Thief Injustice Roberts has not exactly been a reliable conservative and I gave up on hoping the Taco Supreme Court would do us any favors a long time ago. We should not be pinning our hopes on them. To me, they seem more like a legitimized way to redraw and erase our rights whenever we have an argument over something. They are not the bulwark protecting our liberties they are portrayed as being in schools and the media. Still waiting for them to address the 2nd amendment directly and terrified they’ll come to something other than an originalist reading of that freedom.

    • DAN III September 19, 2020 at 12:10

      Mr. Bracken,

      You certainly have immense faith that Chief Injustice John “It’s A Tax” Roberts would do anything that would align with his oath of office. He has sided with the Marxist members of SCOTUS more than once. Obamacare is just one of his shenanigan rulings. Hell, his four conservative associate Justices do not trust Roberts to uphold the Liberties as written in the Bill of Rights. But, you trust “It’s A Tax” Roberts ?

      Matt–you forgot one element… the ARB’s and increased/insane violence that will ensue after before and then Nov 3rd.

      The more insanity and violence that the ABR’s perpetrate in an attempt to disrupt hearings (one or two days) and then a vote–the more traction Trump will gain politically before and after the election, with pressure mounting to ‘restore order.’

      There are now cries of “Burn it all down” if they attempt a vote on Twitter and other sources.
      The MSM is now beating the propaganda drums to whip up hate and violence.

      This all plays perfectly into Trump’s continuing strategy of ‘stirring the pot.’ (twitter posts, comments, taking advantage of unforeseen circumstances).

      This will wake the jack out of middle of the road to the normie-con types as they realize that its for all the marbles now.

      And yes–there will be a vote before Jan 20th–and there will be a new SCOTUS pick on the bench.
      And when it all goes to the supreme court Trump will win hands down despite that rat who is the Chief Justice.

      Assuredly there will be massive violence in an attempt to remove Trump in a color revolution.

      Will it work? Possibly–but then civil war is assured with the outcome like “What I Saw At The Coup” (and I think it would make a great short film–and I would write the script for it) with FREE-FOR coming out on top of a counter-revolution.

      If it failed–again FREE-FOR comes out on top in the end.

      I rest assured in the fact that there are more of us, than of them.
      Hopefully Trump will pull out all of the stops and crush the insurrection.

    All’s fair in love and war, but this is politics, which is even worse. So just appoint away and come up with some spurious argument why you did it different than you did with President Evil. It doesn’t really matter- everyone’s already chosen their side, anyway. You literally can’t go wrong if you just play to your side.

    If I were in office, I would just honestly state I thought Obama was an anti-American communist who wanted to destroy this nation in any way possible and it was vital to prevent him from getting another injustice on the taco supreme court. That’s why I voted the way I did and that’s why I’ll always work to prevent a dummycrat from getting what they want. That’s why my voters keep electing me.
    This is also why I am not in office.

    If the dems do vote weeks ahead, as stated in the article, while the repubes show up on election day, am I safe in assuming we’ll have the mail-in ballots counted much faster than predicted?

    No matter what the election outcome is the election is almost certain to wind up in the Supreme Court. The result will be Gore v. Bush on steroids. With Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas on the right, it will be Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan on the left. Roberts has become a wobbler. A 4-4 tie will likely mean blood in the streets and make Civil War 2.0 even more likely.

    The race for individual Senate seats just became a national race. Evangelicals and Catholics were critical in producing a Trump victory in 2016. Ginsburg’s death will be a trumpet call to action for them now.

    The “Summer of Love” will likely see an even more bitter “Autumn of Love” now.

    • Truth-in-Tension September 19, 2020 at 19:32

      I am not sure that Gorsuch is really a conservative, nor am I convinced that he is a patriot. His appointment to the SCOTUS was just too easy. Keep in mind, that he has sided with the international socialists on the court on some important cases. In the long run, I am concerned that he is more in-line with Roberts. I hope I am wrong about this, but I would not be surprised if he turns out be a closet international socialist. People that are appointed to the SCOTUS represent powerful forces. My belief is the SCOTUS has always been a court full of corruption and evil, and that is the reason that justices are appointed for life. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was very evil but I do not believe her ideology and evil nature were unusual for members on the court, she was just more open about them.

      Remember, the international bankers control both sides of the argument.

      Also, I am not convinced that President Trump is or ever has been a conservative, but I am sure that he has never read the Bible or the Constitution. My guess is if President Trump really represented conservative patriots we would never have been allowed to be President. I realize that there has been organized efforts to remove him from office, but as long as he continues to do what the international bankers and Israel want he will be reelected.

      Again, we have to choose between the lesser of two evils. With approximately 350 million people in America why do we always have to choose a candidate from either the Democrat communists or the Republican international socialists? Neither party is pro-American nor do they represents us, so, why do we place our hopes on a man whose top advisors are Kabbalist?

      I do not believe we should be putting our faith, hope, and trust in man (politicians) or man made institutions (STOTUS, LE, firemen Unions, teacher unions, government agencies, etc…) because they no longer serve us. If we keep playing the Democrats / Republican game we will continue to get the same results that will end up bring about a “Brave New World” just as Huxley predicted.

      • Machine Trooper September 21, 2020 at 10:03

        Gorsuch has recently sold us out. He’s either compromised or a plant like John “Sleeper Cell” Roberts. Then there’s Kennedy. Even when “conservatives” (whatever that means) appoint justices, we still get screwed. I don’t really trust Kavanaugh, either. When he was grilled on “gun control,” he didn’t argue the Constitution; he argued judicial precedent.

    This is the world we live in now. On the edge, on the fence, or just around the corner, our “New Normal” is every single election and appointment being life, death, or gulag.

    The simple fact that it is widely accepted to ‘stack’ the Supreme Court in your team’s favor, is a huge sign of divide. It truly is only a matter of time before killing each other is not only accepted, but expected. The snowball theory is true and is supported everyday. This will end with rivers of blood.

    I can remember a time where it was an ice breaker joke to say something about someone’s political affiliation. The older I get, the more serious people have become over political differences.

    The reason Obama’s pick was not confirmed by the Republican controlled Senate wasn’t entirely because it was an election year, it was because his pick was a radical Communist so they decided to wait and see if Trump got elected, which he did. Had Obama picked someone who could read the Constitution they would have voted. Its a damn good thing they waited. Had it been a Democrat controlled Senate you can bet your mother’s sweet ass they would have held a vote to confirm Obama’s pick. The President gets to nominate and the Senate can vote for or against and even decide to do nothing. Those are the rules and everyone knew them before the game was played.

    Trump should nominate someone good and the Senate should vote to confirm them. Let the commies riot and throw a fit, it just helps Trump and the rest of rhe Republicans at the ballot box.

    We can all thank former Senator Harry Reid, and majority leader (and at obummers insistence) for the ‘nuclear option’ he instituted in 2013, essentially changing the rule of filibuster for judicial appointments, so that a simple majority can end it vs a 60 vote majority as it had been in the past. Mitch McConnell warned Reid that it was a double edged sword, and later extended its use when he attained the status of majority leader, for the confirmation of Supreme Court nominees. Truly a gift from those so embolden to deny due process to everyone. Now they clamor for ‘fairness’, LOL. And, nothing in the Constitution prevents a president from not appointing a Supreme Court vacancy, even in their final year in office. In this instance, it is an essential act to save the Republic from the almost guaranteed contested election, surely to be resolved at the Supreme Court. A court now with 4 to 4 tie vote, no ruling would ensure only the lower court decision is upheld. Must have the 9th vote. All that said, war is on the horizon nonetheless.

    The Dems have zero ground game in this election. Redux of HRC 2016. Meanwhile the GOP has knocked on millions of doors and still going. Fill the seat NOW. RGB was nominated and affirmed in fewer days that are reamaining before the election. The Dems are the enemy of what remains of the Republic.

  15. Buckshot September 21, 2020 at 12:44

    Since we are all on COVID lock-down, lets have the confirmation hearings and subsequent vote by Zoom only. Each Senator gets three minutes max. No public allowed in the gallery, so no screaming and yelling. They let Sally Yates testify via Zoom. If it is good enough for her, it is good enough for the nominee.
