RIP, Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Supreme Court justice Ginsburg died today.

Update  Well, that didn't take but a few seconds. The Democrats immediately began screeching that no replacement should be nominated until after the election; however, somewhat to my surprise, Mitch McConnell has promised a vote on whoever Trump nominates. 2020 just keeps getting wilder by the minute.

Update II  Ted Cruz, as is frequently the case, effectively cuts to the chase.

    Reason #2756 why we need to reelect President Trump.

    Although if we can't, it might be fun to watch Biden nominate Corn Pop as her replacement.

    If he isn't presently doing time (although, if he is, I suppose Biden could pardon him).

    She could have retired during Obama's Presidency but didn't.

    Some are very angry about that:

    But I guess that's to the late judge's credit as an even-handed professional, if that was the reason.

    Weirdly, the (don't you ever fekking call them) "Alt-Right" internet army is attacking Antonin Scalia as a "phony, fake RINO" for having been friends with Ginsburg (see??? a traitor!!!).

    It's patently obvious they've mistaken Scalia for Anthony Kennedy, but pointing that out to them only makes you a target of "treason" charges. These are the people who genuinely wish Trump would dissolve Congress (don't ask), suspend elections and declare himself Dictator (the Left already accuses him of it, and Lincoln did it anyway). Yeah, I know there's not enough of them in the whole country to fill a high school auditorium, but they're very, very busy today.

    Clarification: Justice Scalia was indeed close friends with Ginsburg, his ideological opposite, and Kennedy was the pretend conservative who always seemed to find a way to vote with the liberal wing.

    She was a Liberal Crusader who brought her advocacy to the highest bench in the nation...her campaigns for "women's rights" were all about abortion. Not something I will commemorate.

    RBG did do a lot of good things for equality for men and women in her day, but she was also a narcissistic left-liberal who enjoyed her celebrity just a little too much. That's why she refused to step down when it was becoming clear to everyone that she could no longer do her job because of her age and her many illnesses. Condolences to her family, but I'm not sorry she's gone. What comes next is going to be the bloody fur-on-fire dogfight over the nomination of her replacement.

    Mark Steyn had some good things to say about some of her legal rulings, although they were on fairly narrow issues; but he also panned her comments away from the bench.

    John Roberts is no longer in the position to shield the criminal governors for their unconstitutional power grabs. Let the lawsuits commence.

    I said that the crazy is going to get crazier.

    Is it too late to start?

    Probably. And for it to be effective, I think you'd have to drink yourself to death.

    Maybe you should start drinking, Paco .....

    Designer straitjackets. I think that's going to be the next big Paco Enterprises product.

    And maybe slogan straitjackets, too. Nothing says "Lock that crazy a$$hole up!" like a straitjacket with "BLM" or "Antifa" printed across the front.

    That was an epic meltdown, Jeff. I expect we'll be seeing a whole lot more of them.

    Spiny, a lot of my leftie FB friends are in a complete panic. I'd be laughing if it weren't serious.

    Paco, designer straightjackets is a wonderful idea. Make 'em in designer colors for the discerning crazy a$$hole.
