Who will replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ?

If Trump picks a female, will the Dems make a bunch of fake rape accusations against her?
Actually I fully expect the women-empowering and supporting Democrats will claim she is under the influence of someone else and thus can't make her own decisions.
With all of their other hypocrisies, I completely believe they will essentially shit on their own proclamation of women being equal by saying she's subordinate to "her man".

Barring something substantial and negative coming out most Republicans seem to vote to nominate even if the nomination is not compatible politically. He most likely would have been approved. Not saying I like it but that seems to be the historical reality.

I dont know who will fill the seat but I guarantee the second he or she votes against one outcome people here want theyll instantly be labeled a traitor and a RINO and all sorts of other crap.
This is how you know Barrett is just the right choice.
From the article “there is no doubt that Barrett would dramatically expand the Second Amendment, invalidating gun control measures around the country.”

The Top Contender for RBG’s Seat Has a Fundamentally Cruel Vision of the Law
Here's what we can expect if Trump fills the late justice's seat.
More from Barrett on the right to bear arms. She says only dangerous felons should be barred and not all felons. She cites writings from 1791.
She basically says that if you want to restrict a citizen's right to bear arms because they are a felon, rather than because they pose a threat to public safety, then you are attacking the right to bear arms, not protecting the public safety.
The more I read the more I love her as the pick. If she gets in this could be huge for us.

There are some things that should get you kicked out of the party.
Need to send it to a vote and put them on record. We’ll see who actually votes no.

By the way...
Trump, if he does this Nomination thing; he will not be the first to do it like this. There is past history of this.

Funny listening to him, Schumer, et al explain why Trump shouldn’t be making an appointment. Trump’s term is a FULL FOUR YEARS. Deal with it.

How Scalia Compared With Other Justices (Published 2016)
Justice Antonin Scalia was a leader of the Supreme Court’s conservative wing and the longest serving member of the current court.

Every or almost every president including Obama has made a nomination when a seat opens up regardless of timing. In fact Obama did this exact same thing. Difference is this time the voters decided to maintain the R senate therefore they have already spoken on this matter and decided by vote to allow this to go through. The opposite was true regarding the senate during Obama’s last year.

Judge Amy Barrett already was vetted during 2017 confirmation process for appellate court judgeship. Democratic Sens. Feinstein and Durbin zeroed in on her religious "dogma," but their questions smacked of "anti-Catholic bigotry"

If I recall correctly, and I believe I do as I have not yet hit the crack pipe tonight, but it was so bad and inappropriate that even Dems spoke out against it and defended her.Judge Amy Barrett already was vetted during 2017 confirmation process for appellate court judgeship.

So two senators have said they won't support.
What about romney? If nothing else he is quite evangelical and though I don't think he's catholic if this amy person is known for being so perhaps he'll support. Regardless, three can defect and it will still get pushed through with a pence tie break.
I also hope these senators realize as I have (and I'm sure they do), trump is facing long odds in november. This could be his last chance to get a fresh faced republican in the court. It must be taken. It is so obviously necessary, and ignore all threats from the democrats.

Maybe if Trump's pick was Mormon. Otherwise, Romney hates Trump and likely will not vote his pick.

RBG's time? The democrats of a damn decade ago were head and shoulders better than those today. The party has gone straight to shit at warp speed. They are bonkers. The party and its presidents used to be far less insane. You can see speeches even from obama's time that are quite reasonable.

People would pay more attention to AOC if she wasn't wearing a shirt. Jus sayin.
