President Donald Trump on Saturday said that Republicans have an"obligation" to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's vacant seat on the Supreme Court"without delay," as Democrats argue the Senate should refrain from confirming a replacement until after the next president is sworn in.
"@GOP We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices. We have this obligation, without delay!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
If course he will, he's like a dog with a bone when it comes to more and more power...so sad! He'll never have enough!
🤮No they don’t.
Of course they do😉
Yes you do that Mr. President 👍🏽🇺🇸❤️
That's okay because the whole slew of them will be looking for a job!
Total BS! Obligation, sure
U know realDonaldTrump makes me want 2get sick,cry and burst out in laughter with burst of discus. But look at the cheaters,scammers users don’t believe in God&use Him for money &call others names & deflect. Should have known POTUS after NJ&Vegas would want in in gambling again
'Obligation' my foot! It wasn't that way 4 years ago! Then, the GOP wanted to wait for Trump. Now they want to rush a nomination! Hypocrisy, hypocrisy!
But this is an 'election year' so he doesnt have the right to pick a justice! Is that not what the Republicans said and denied BarackObama his constitutional right to choose a Justice? Republicans are all about denying ppl their constitutional right!!!
Well Crying News Network, he does
Please let the family, and country, mourn before pouncing like a vulture.
But you won't post what he said upon hearing it.
Just doing the job he was elected to do.
is Ivanka qualified 🤣?
The Constitution, NOT THE MEDIA or democrats allowed Presidents to nominate the Supreme Court Judges, so, President Trump can and will nominate any S.C. Judges as long he's the President of USA. VOTE FOR D TRUMP AGAIN.
As my grandmother would say “Her body isn’t even cold yet!” Did he ever offer his condolences on her passing? He show’s so much “Class”....
The same rules must apply just like when OBAMA was leaving office and the REPUBLICANS block the judge the Obama appoint. You have to act the same, that is justice! and create credibility.
I would urge Democrats to walk out!
Whaaa whaaa cry about everything
BS! They actually an obligation to let the American people decide by first allowing the election happen!
No they don’t. They have an obligation to respect her dying wish, you despicable little man...
POTUS the American public and the Justices of the Supreme Court deserve your morn and grieve for the loss! Filling an icon’s seat should not be rushed!!!!!!
Stop the corruption of democrats
Follow me for a quick follow back💞
Trump is a very evil person, no trust in him just hate.
No they do not. They are dancing on RBG’s grave!!! RBGRIP
Is it going to be Kellyanne?
No respect for RBG
Bullshit
As long as they stand up for the 2A and regard the constitution then it works for me
He is absolutely correct
I look forward to the continued backsliding this country is experiencing.
realDonaldTrump is Right
“Check and balance “ is the central value of senate. The words “without delay “don't mean “Republicans should be just a stamp of the President “.
CNN equals a CCP🤮 makes people sick🤮
Yeah but he was really nice when he candidly was told. He said the right things. You could tell he was being real. Now after that. Business is bussinez.
I hear Trump has started the vetting process for the next SCOTUS nomination...
It's his job.. so... Good to know he's doing it.. right?
HYPOCRITE
AND we know he is all about meeting his obligations!
🤬💩👿🤮
He’s lying again.
America is doomed
Impeach Barr Now.
Who will it be Barr or Giuliani? This is end of the Democrats. Trump is pumped to take over the country to gain Putin’s favour and pass KBG101. Then look out no more voting, no free speech, Delay this at all cost prevent a police state. Trumps SS. not the Secret Service.
Such bs!
Satan
Get it done Pres!
Congrats CNN on the 300Million lawsuit filed against you bull$& News network! Keepup the lies and may manylawsuits shut your communist message DoWN!
Why rush if all his people are so sure he’ll be re-elected? Just do it after the election. That way they don’t have to rush the whole process. They waited 10 months to fill justice Scalia’s seat remember? This can wait too.. unless.. they’re scared of losing. 🤷🏻♀️
Trump senses his defeat. If he is sure of a win in November why rush with the replacement of the yet unburried justice.
I call BS!
The real question is why this lady held her seat for so damn long going thru treatments for cancer at the ripe old age of 87 and that’s OK ? Who the fuck does that unless pressured until death ...and we all know she was a lefty . Must have been miserable at the end CNN
realDonaldTrump how quickly do republicans forget.
Son of a switch!!!!!! 🤬
He sucks!!!!😡😡😡
I have an obligation to tell the president to shut the f up and allow President Biden to bring in a new justice.
fuck sun came up today god damn it was trumps fault cnn reports what we all know it’s trumps fault we all know dimwitcrats would cry
What an Ass!
🤦♀️
Geez they can't wait until the woman goes cold They are disgusting
Trump can nominate whomever he pleases but the Dems can delay the appt. until after Nov. 3rd.
Why she didn’t retire under Obama is completely beyond me. She was was well into her 80s during his final years in office. Blame her
What happened to the republican obligation in 2016 when Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died, Senate Republicans came out of the gate insisting that his seat not be filled due to the presidential election about nine months away?
This is true. The Constitution requires the empty seat on the Supreme Court be filled as soon as possible. Four months is too long.
Donald Trump is a danger and is unfit to run this country who is protecting us from him now or we just gonna sit back and see how much more dangerous he can be to the American people who’s protecting us let’s talk
Empty seat for Eleven Months Why the hurry now? Is it a black thing? or just a Obama hate thing? or a Republican thing? Or a stupid trump thing? Four years make a big difference. trump hates Obama like Bush hates trump.
Running scared much?
Well the bullshitter in chief is one for two so far on placing pro life judges so I suppose he has a 50/50 chance to get this one right...
Someone needs to send his tweet back to him; when Obama Judge was blocked! This administration has no shame! Check and balances nor the Constitution means nothing to this Administration! We need to restore America in November
Yes the GOP is obligated to do so!! The Pres and Senate are same party!! Obama and Schumer would do the same thing!! Remember RBG could have resigned in first years of Obama but refused this is what she decided !!
No, the U.S. has an obligation to fill Ginsburg's position with someone who will decide the best for the American people.
You think he was going to deprive himself of having a judge in his pocket, to avoid prison. He had to pray that she dies, correction, he is not a Christian, put needles in a voodoo doll.
Nope 👎🏻
They have an obligation to follow her last wishes out of respect.
The stakes are too high. I’m fine with them eating crow for now and getting us another conservative justice for a generation. Our country has a chance to right our wrongs and overturn R v W. Let’s not squander this once in a lifetime opportunity!
Instead of helping the American people he wants cause Chaos.
BS
Damn! Her body wasn’t even cold yet and he and McConnell were salivating over filling her seat. Can we please let her family and the country mourn without the Trump circus? RuthBaderGinsburgRIP
Exactly right Mr. TRUMP. He will nominate someone like Kavanaugh who will actually follow the constitution.....liberals are a disease
So now the Republicans have an obligation to fill the vacancy without delay. Where was that obligation when Obama tried to do the same?
I have no faith in Donald Trump or his administration. BringBackHope JoeBiden for President. GodBlessRBG
Trump should’ve have someone on standby already... there should not be any further delays.
Most of the cases decided by SCOTUS do not end with a close 5-4 vote, but with an overwhelming majority vote or even a consensus. There’s really no rush to fill the 9th seat. Any case locked in a tie can be re-examined when a 9th justice is admitted.
The fuck you are obligated. You try to push this thru it will be the death of democracy. We will take to the streets.
Wow
Maybe, but you have a moral responsibility to be a team player first. Something just went wrong!!!
Bullshit on him
To increase the SIZE of the Supreme Court, Congress would have to EXERT its 'check & Balances' powers.... Congress would have to state EXPLICITLY that the Supreme Court does NOT have a constitutional right to decide how many judges shall sit on the Supreme Court! Congress does!
Another day goes by and yet not a single liberal is willing to step up and have a discussion to support Biden/Harris against Trump/Pence. I wonder why?
But remember he did not say this very first he talked about who she was and what a icon she was and he praised her before any of this crap that’s where Joe Biden my first
...Ginsbereg could have retired back in Obama era but Dems bet wrong - Hillary lost!
Liberal men wear fishnets 🤣😂
Friendly Reminder: DoYourJob
He needs to worry about the pandemic
HYPOCRITES
She can't make a wish and expect the president she never supported to fulfil it. Pls bring our ultra conservative judge
rememberkavanaugh
We knew this shady crap was coming
Tropical RepubliCON response; Do as I Say , NOT as I Do✔️✔️✔️✔️
It's his job to appoint a new Justice....
He's such garbage.
Hypocritical bastards
How about sending a condolence! Never mind, he has no empathy or sympathy!
He’s right! With all the mail in voting and contested election talk we have to have a full court!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 dumbasses
Take action Mr president !
Remember this 🙂
Obummer put Garland’s up and the Republicans controlled the Senate! It never would have passed! Republicans control the Senate! It’s Trump’s duty to nominate a Justice! You liberal fascists are just pissed because you can’t! Schumer would do the same thing!
Good!
If this is correct, then Mitch McConnell spectacularly failed to uphold his obligation to the Constitution 4 years ago, and should be removed from office for violating his Oath.
Absolutely wrong 6 weeks before an election. Remember 2016? Such hypocrites.
Why is it he feels it should be republicans that fill the vacancy?
No you have an obligation to do the same thing the Reps held Obama to. Now is when we need the independence republicans to stand up.
You will be in jail in 12months!!!
He should be IMPEACHED!
Guess he or Moscow Mitch feel any obligation to her final wishes.
fakenews
You have an obligation to go away and stay away!
Not the first time he has been told by a woman no ,only to do what he wants.
So did Democrats!
Shouldn't the public be aware of this?
That’s funny bcuz CBSNews posted something totally different.
realDonaldTrump There is no obligation. There is only blatant politics that is hypocritical. Remember, you lost the popular vote by some 3M.
No you’re not!
So much for finally being humane the media is something else
To Trump everything is about Trump. He can't feel empathy for even 1 day. Can any of his GOP gang members? Would it have been impossible to wait for Monday? RIPRBG RuthBaderGinsburg
Oh no you don’t. Gotta play by YOUR rules. Can you remember them?
Go Trump
If Republicans didn't have double standards. they wouldn't have any standards at all.
He did tweet the letter honoring her death. Do technically this was the second tweet FakeNewsCNN
But Obama didn’t have an obligation to fill Scalia’s seat? Senate Majority leader Moscow Mitch set a precedent 4 years ago claiming to let the people have a voice in choosing the next SC justice. I guess that was just BS.
Full support!
The current President’s post doesn’t end until noon January 20,2021. It’s his duty to appoint whoever he feels will be the right justice. Get over.
The obligation of Republicans is to STOP Trump, but they're too hungry for POWER Everyone's FORGETTING Trump's horrendous FAILURE with COVID19: 200,000 LIVES gone & RUINED economy. His lack of regard for the Constitution & rule of law. VoteBidenHarris2020 CountryOverParty
Absolutely Correct. This election is headed to Scotus so you'll need a tie breaker.
Agreed!
They better not.
Obama called for the same thing in 2016. Cmon man.
Sorry no they don’t cause they said no in 2016 so today is the same go F ur self
Will you just SHUT UP!
🤮🤮🤮🤮
And according to Joe Biden he does:
I agree
Of course he would. hypocrisy
realDonaldTrump POTUS WhiteHouse IN ya TRUMPITIS INFECTED BRAIN feverish dreams
Nope. Nope. Nope.
The GOP doesn't have the cojones to stand up to the delusional dictator Trump is. They are his puppets & should be voted out.
Just acting like barbarians at the gate
Yes! After trump is gone
My fellow hard working Americans who believe that words, deeds and honor matter, means more than ever we have to vote for change in both the WH and Senate. We heard what McConnell said in 2016, saying Americans should have a say by picking the next WH occupant, now Hypocrisy!!
Once he fills the deposition on the Supreme Court,what is the Incentive for his voters to still vote for him. That’s all a lot of them wanted
I agree
Buy tissues, no matter for how long CNN, Dems & liberal media continue the malignant misinformation campaign against the Pres, the Stars R Alined & there's nothing u can do, except watching the American ppl from the eyes of 5th Ave elitist & question like in 2016. Lesson learned?
What an ass. Should they not wait until after the funeral. She was a great lady, give her the respect she deserves.
If it was a Democratic Senate they say the opposite
Agree
What Biden abs Schumer said last time
realDonaldTrump First there were 9 then there'll be 13.
What did Biden himself say in 2016?
He’s 100% right
Trump is the most despicable human being.
There’s cases that need to be heard and decided on, let’s get that open seat filled
Despicable.
ReplaceRBG
Yep, he is absolutely correct
No. Obama was unable to fill a supreme court vacancy in an election year due to McConnell. This ignorant imbecile cannot fill RBGs vacancy during an election year due to McConnells own rule.
God help us! Yet another thing Donald dump will destroy
At this point what were you expecting Trump to offer condolences and praise her time on the SCOTUS that would be beyond the scope of a Republicans character . Democrats when in power can just expand the court to 15 adding 6 more judges as FDR wanted back in the 1930s .
So CNN supports White Supremacy and Systematic Ethnic Cleansing.
Hypocrite.
Kinda wish he would fall into the abyss.
It was their obligation to give Merrick Garland a vote. They set themselves up for this controversy by failing to do so.
FillTheVacancy FillTheSeat
The fact Donald didnt die of covid proves there is no god
Celebration of the 210th year of the Chilean Army ' Viva nuestro ejercito, siempre vencedor , jamás vencido!!! a través de YouTube
Well. The life long appointments and ideological extremes explode any idea of checks and balances. A rot at the centre of a healthy balanced democracy.
You are all hypocrites, the GOP kept saying they would not vote on Obama’s new appointment because the new president should appoint.
IBelieveThere'sPreviousFootageFromRepublicons/GOP OnTheImportanceOfSlowin'UrRoll,Mr.Bonespurs🖕
He needs to be sure that he has an SC who will rule in his favor on everything.....
Don't mind me.. just resupplying until November
Good
No, condolences! Typical Trump!
REMEMBER WHEN: - obama said 'Elections have consequences... I won' - obama said democrats should eliminate the fillibuster. - Harry Reid ended the fillibuster FOR obama appointments I DO. Now, this is where we are. I guess you're all just going to have to get over it.
realDonaldTrump spoken like someone who is going to lose the election
No, you had and have an obligation to protect Americans against the coronavirus and did nothing. Try and keep your saliva in your mouth and a smirk off your face when you refer to the late, great RBG.
Bullshit! McConnell refused for 10 months to allow a vote on Merick Garland. Because America should have a say!! HypocriteMitch
Fake news CNN.
No Sir it’s not an obligation, it’s your selfish way of controlling and getting your injustices ways . Remember President Obama , your Party blocking his nomination to fill Justice Antonin Scalia! Don’t be a hypocrite Sir!
I hate it here. shithole
Obligation my rear end. You held up one up before as you didn't want a nominee prior to the last elections, but now you do!!. Lets just wait until after you pack your bags for the U-Hauls in Nov.
They do!!!!
If you think you’ve seen everything about Republicans hypocrisy...think again.. Real political entertainment just starting,so,brace yourself for the next 3 months . At least we gone take break from this annoying Covid 19
I'm waving the white flag for a day. I ask everyone R, D, I, L to all please take a day to grieve, consider RBG and the impact she had on all our lives and her journey. The nasty fight fixing to ensue will still be there tomorrow.
o_gur
👎
I can’t even describe that amount of contempt I feel right now. This President has nothing to say about RBG but fill her seat. Absolutely shameful. He is almost giddy about going back on his own words saying not to vote in a justice in an election year.
Absolutely.
Republicans either stand up for what they declared about nominations in an election year or be voted out! It is time that they stood up for this country and what it stands for and not for a liar who will do anything to further himself .
ProjectLincoln care to comment on this? Or is that not part of your responsibility?
It's fun - so much fun - and absolutely gratifying to watch the long faces on ALL the left wing CNN anchors. You people are in shock! Payback is hell, isn't it. You people have put President and his base through sheer hell for four years. Now you can go through (and to) hell.
Trump isn’t wrong on this, he has constitutional authority to fill a vacant seat. I understand the push back from the Dems and I’m sure if this was reversed the Republicans would do the same and Dems would push to fill the seat as well.
That’s exactly right. It’s an obligation to our constitution and to the law and order and checks and balances of our government. With all due respect to the late Justice Ginsburg, not for her selfish wish of leaving the seat vacant for a “new President.”
He had been sitting and wishing she died before the election and so does his minions. These people r just pieces of trash with no morals. It’s sad that things have come to this but we really see these r the last days
Once again this shows their word is worth nothing. There is no honesty in this party. Their only loyalty is to power.
Republican Party is gone. It should be called the Trump party.
Yes, he is absolutely correct legally. He has an obligation to put forward a nomination.
As it should be!!!
Just pure disgust for this man. We need to remove him. Vote BLUE in November like your life depends on it, because it does
Let be clear, only reason why you care is because she was Democrat. You clearly proved that you had no parity nor humanity by the way you treated Kavanaugh. Stop trying to act like you are human.
You LIE those were not President Trumps first words after finding out about the death of Justce Ruth Bader Ginsburg...Shame on you!!
They had the same opportunity with Obama,and they delayed because it was to close to the election.If this doesn’t convince you that the republicans believe their rules for them and rules for democrats you don’t understand how crucial this election will be.
The Don of the crime family in the senate
200K deaths
RBG's body isn't even cold and this criminal is looking to replace her with one of his far-right conservative cronies. VOTE BLUE whatever you do. Remember in November.
This guy is a Clown with no other: 1. this is a guy who has been Impeached: 2. This is a guy who has sex molested 20 women: 3. This is a guy who is a cheater 4. This is a guy who is a pussy grabber 5. This is a wonderful role model for your kids and grandkids: Trump is a JOKE:
We have a obligation to vote him out!!
hypocrisy at its best
Let’s make Crying Chuck happy! realDonaldTrump senatemajldr
THESE JEWS ARE NOT ABOVE COMMITING ANY TYPE OF HORRIBLE MURDER OF ANY NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND ANY PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION WHEN NO ONE KNOWS IT IS THEM DOING IT..
Why we waited 10 months before when Obama was president. and now we have a rapist on the Supreme court. because we couldn't confirm Obamas nominee we had to wait till the next president was in office
3 million more Americans don’t want this president to pick Ginsburg’s replacement than do. The will of the people must be heard.
Of course-why would we even co aided that he would behave with common decency and regard for rules!
4 years of NON-STOP 24 hr harassment from the dems and the media from day one starting with the recount, to Kavanaugh, Russia, Impeachment, Covid and on and on. Pay back! karma
Republicans know damn well that Trump is on his way out with the door hitting him on his fat ass.... That's why they're in such a big hurry
Republicans certainly didn’t feel obligated back in 2016
No Spanky just no.
Does the Constitution matter? The President of the United States has the sole authority to make appointments to the Supreme Court and the Senate has the authority to either confirm or reject the President's nomination, as spelled out in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution
Trump is using this as a distraction
Why blame Republicans,Harry Reid created this problem ,whe he allowed the 60 votes in the senate
Cue 2016 Lady G tape of him contradicting this.
I say Amen
I hope he can not
The protests that will occur will be out of this world. The vote should wait!
But not in 2016 strange that GOP hang your head in shame
She is not even buried and he is rushing to fill her position. Why? He lied to the American people about the COVID-19. We deserved to know the truth. We are not children or uneducated.
Yes. Make it happen! Trump2020
Damn rights!!
With all the deference and respect the Democrats have shown for the constitution and rule of law during this President’s first term, I say they have earned the moral high ground on this one.
What would the Dems do, let’s be honest!!!
Fuck him! Repugs refused to fill Scalia's position for 10 months! They can wait till January!
Thank you sir!
Not even 24 hours and he is ready to fill in that spot just in case if he is in hot waters he was an inside person that will bail him out. NOT SURPRISED at all!!!!
IT IS FUNNY HOW THE STOCK MARKET CRASH COOINCIDED WITH THE NEW NATIONHOOD OF GERMANY AND ITS NEW LEADER, AS THOUGH IT CAUSED EVERYTHING TO GO WRONG WHERE THE JEWS WERE OPERATING AND CONTROLLIBY THE GOVERNMENT..
R's refused to act on Merrick Garland's nomination. If they about-face now and rush to fill RBG's seat immediately, it will be even more obvious that they have no principles and will trick and steal their way to power by any means. SHAMEFUL, DJT! realDonaldTrump
We need to DOMINATE the elections, Eradicating corruption & double standards. Hopping or praying they choke on there own vomit won’t work. VOTE!!!
He is reprehensible.
Umm I think it would have been better for him to wait; I'm suspecting this may motivate the pro-abortionist to vote... because with another judge, they'll gut Roe vs Wade. Unless, the Right prefers the judge and hope to rid of Trump at the same time.
Trumpettes...please
Joe Biden Agrees: “I hope that Republican leaders in the Senate will do their jobs and not sacrifice a fully functioning court for the sake of partisan politics.”
No they don’t, as usual you are trying to shove your way into what you feel will get you re elected. It ‘s not going to work for you the election is over and Biden will win
He’s gonna be re-elected, just granting RBG her dying wish to install a new one as soon as we know who next president is!
The herd of frightened hypocrite GOP senators is lead by the biggest of them all, the guy that sits in the Oval Office and let’s not forget McConnell. Another shameful act. A win in November should be a Garland well deserved appointment to the court.
Indicates they are not confident of Trump actually winning election. Double standard. Except backlash from people with integrity
So there you have it-all you giving him kudos for his fake empathy last night...
Americans have an obligation to block them from doing so.
Did Obama not have the same 'obligation?'
I other words... he’s dancing on her grave. Doesn’t even take a day of silence. SHAME
CNN completely ignoring realDonaldTrump first WORDS regarding the death of RBG. This is why we call you the enemy of the people. Do better. Be better.
Yes because, The Supreme Court has to be ready to hear the Election Results due to Democrat's Massive Election Mail-In Fraud cases.
Bull. The “obligation” is to follow her last wish and LEAVE THE SEAT EMPTY UNTIL THE NEXT PRESIDENT. 🤨
'You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell,' Graham said 'He's a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot,' Graham told Alisyn Camerota. 'He doesn't represent my party. He doesn't represents the values that the men and women who wear the uniform-
A bunch of hypocrites
At least one Republican — Sen. Lindsey Graham — had said a Supreme Court vacancy should not be filled until after the 2020 election. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, however, is saying the opposite of what he did in 2016.
Donald Trump is a self serving monster.
ChuckKeller14 You didn’t even win the popular vote. You have no mandate.
.......so trump and biden agree on something.
This is how the Nazis took control of Germany. That is not an overstatement. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. We cannot let that happen. We must stop this.
Why the rush?
Once again Trump sets out to hurt rather than heal a grieving nation.
'Mitch: Delay, Delay, Delay!' -- Candidate Donald Trump, 2016.
Well he's certainly not wrong.
Trump is spot on fill that position ASAP, if the shoe was on the other foot the Dems would fill it....all’s fair in love and war!
Republican party is now good at flip flopping !!! 2016 they held a unique position but now they are shifting the goal posts because they are not favored .
They do.
Whats the f***
Lets not pretend that Trump has not analyzed RBG's death to figure out HIS own best angle as to how to use it for advantage. That is all he cares about - how it affects HIM. Pig.
So did Hitler and Stalin.
Proverbs 29:12
I will probably go to the streets for the first time in my 52 years if the GOP pushes this through.
Well we have an obligation to stop you
That’s a lie it should be decided by the next president whoever the country chooses
Where was that obligation in 2016, TEN months before the election
