President Donald Trump said Saturday he will move quickly to fill the new opening in the Supreme Court created by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, urging the Republican Party to confirm an eventual nominee 'without delay.'

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden also served notice he will make the Supreme Court a campaign issue. He said the winner of the Nov. 3 election should select the person to replace Ginsburg, citing a precedent the Republicans set during the 2016 election, after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

Ginsburg, an icon who made her name as a lawyer who won a string of women's rights cases during the 1970s, will likely be replaced by a woman, officials said.Judge Joan Larsen, a Michigan-based jurist and former Scalia clerk who sits on 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals; Democrats charged Trump and the Republicans with hypocrisy. Four years ago, they said, the GOP worked to block the nomination of Merrick Garland, the jurist President Barack Obama nominated to replace the deceased Scalia.

"While I am not certain that either side will gain an electoral advantage, I do believe that turnout will increase above what we already believed would be the highest turnout election in the modern era," said Brown, director of the Graduate School of Political Management at George Washington University.Trump and aides have said they believe the Supreme Court issue boosted their campaign in 2016 and helped him defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Replace her with a conserative or loose our constitution.

Trump wants to load the SC to protect him in case he loses. He could care less about the court, just his own hide.

Already scheming like the greedy little bastard he is

Once again you go back on your own words!

Injecting politics into death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dishonorable and the Supreme Court can do without the 9th Justice until next presidential term.

GUARANTEED TRUMP2020LANDSLIDE .. and another SCOTUS pick KAG2020 🇺🇸

And we intend to remove you and all your enablers without delay!

What goes around comes around.

Should Trump move quickly to fill the vacancy?

Trump will attempt a “smash and grab” on his way out the door.

Great! Let’s get cracking Trump

I think Americans should be the ones who elects people for this kind of position. Politics should have no play in this because it is obvious that crooked people like Moscow Mitch should be held at bay & the justices should be accountable to the truth & the people

He can move quickly right out of White House door!

Would be nice if media could give it a day and pay respect to her instead of crying about a conservative taking her spot.

ponders his next shit maybe. other than that his brain is about as active as a pickle in brine.

The American people deserve and expect a quick confirmation of a new justice. Don’t let the mob change our Constitution.

Good! Pissing off the DemocRats, their heads will explode if he gets this one it'll be fun to watch

Of course he will he’s only got a couple months left .

Dear God...she hasn’t even been buried...did he even offer condolences first?

Lets hope 2020 will not end with a re-election of Trump . That will surely make 2020 the worst year ever

Remember McConnell 2016, this would be an act of disrespect to RBG and the ppl. An act of cowardness

circling like vultures. The poor woman hasn't been laid to rest. Extremely distasteful

Oh so realDonaldTrump said F WE the people when it came to a Pandemic, but this is a ASAP thing. Because of his lack of judgement and accountability 200,000 + lives , jobs, businesses, economy tanked, schools closed, cases continue we are broken. Then ASAP election s/b done now

Do it!

This man is evil plain and simple

He needs a reality check. To the head.

Hopefully Trump's own obituary moves quickly, and without delay. RIPRBG

It's nice to see the DNC trolls getting some overtime pay this weekend.

Please. Guarantee you piss of a lot of people. It’s a great idea.

Sounds like he’s not so confident of re-election.

The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” — Mitch McConnell, March 2016.

the hypocrisy is thick. power matters, not principles.

Mitch McConnell in 2016: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.' senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC

This is Trump's best opportunity to tilt SCOTUS to his favor...primarily for cases involving his own personal matters. Again, Trump's calculations that lead to action are all about him. This is the 'get out of jail' card that Trump's been looking for. BlockTheSeat

Please put a woman conservative who is not a baby killer.

The BlueWave2020 RIPRBG

Hillary agrees... ‘constitutional responsibility..’

Perfect time for Republican to call their senators to do their job, blow them out if they refuse to..

This will seal his defeat.
