Donald Trump has thrown down the gauntlet -- less than a day after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- making it clear he will try and ramrod her replacement through the Senate ... which will almost certainly make abortion rights the centerpiece of the Presidential race.

-- making it clear he will try and ramrod her replacement through the Senate ... which will almost certainly make abortion rights the centerpiece of the Presidential race.

This is objectively the most important vacancy in many, many decades. Trump vowed earlier this month to appoint an anti-abortion justice to the High Court. If he gets his way, it would be 6-3 against abortion rights. Even if conservatives lose a vote, they'd still have a majority, and many legal experts think that could spell the end of Roe vs. Wade.

Democrats are furious and are planning a full-court press to block any such nomination. As you know by now, RBG dictated a note days before she passed, saying her dying wish was that her replacement be selected by the person who wins the election. She made it clear in 2016, she was not a fan of Donald Trump.

Dear Mr. President; please do it quickly! You have my support. ❤️👩🏻‍🎤

I bet he’ll nominate Tiffany.

He has every right to. This isn’t anyone’s fault. This is just the way the chips fell this time. I’m not happy about it but the best thing you can do is vote if you want something done one way or the other.

POS

He needs too. Liberals are trying to ruin this country.

Because that’s all he cares about and doesn’t care about Ruth’s death

Joe Biden pushes for RBG to stay on as supreme court justice.

Not a comment for the left or the right but wasn’t her final wish, fervent wish, to not be replaced until after the elections were over? This must be her in her afterlife...

Ginsburg should of retired 20 years ago.

A.S.A.P. !

NominateAndConfirm

This man is disgusting

Ted Cruz!

Awful article. Mired in opinion and not reflective of the facts. Shame on the partisan hack who wrote this manure.

It’s a vacancy she’s not being replaced. Tmz stop dividing the ppl. It’s the president job to appoint a new judge.

Donald Trump had better seize this opportunity. The suckass Democrats wouldn't let it go by. This is why I voted for him. Time to return sanity to the Supreme Court.

Let respect RBG’s career as a politician and judge. She should lay in state in DC for two weeks and then put her to rest. Once all of that is complete then and only then should Trump or anyone should discuss her replacement!!!!! Have some respect TRUMP!!!!

Constitutional Requirement presidents appoint. Senate takes it from there as per Constitution

TMZ messed up its metaphors. Trump is the Trail Boss. McConnell is the Ramrod. Watch Rawhide if you dare. The Supreme Court starts its next session in October. A new Justice is needed immediately...

So sick of the hypocrisy: “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

Where did he say he vows

Another racist

Not yet The Woman just died Let her Rip

As well he should, immediately!!!

Ugh!!!! VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

👎🏾👎🏾

Trump and his 'vows': Ask his THREE WIVES how much stock they put in them.

He wants to take USA to medioevo

Fuck yeah!🤘

I did not expect anything else from this one-sided hypocrite. Talk about a person trying to pay back the companies who donated to his campaign and not doing what is right for all Americans.

Facts not feelings.

Trump's aiming to have total dominance in the SCOTUS and tear apart the United States Constitution in order for himself and his family to run his future dictatorship. Vote.

Trump and Bitch Mitch are hypocrites! “They have an obligation.” President Obama had an obligation too!

I despise this guy...he should not appoint anybody just get the hell on

Damn was he waiting for her to die? Damn

People Lover their Government Employees, irreplaceable, smh.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This is why we voted for him.

And yet Obama wasn’t allowed to do it.

He’s the President that’s his constitutional right. Don’t act like a Democrat wouldn’t do the same.

Is Hollywood so boring right now that TMZ has turned itself into a political website?

Hope dump’s nominee is blocked & a new Supreme court judge will be picked after dump the idiot is voted out!

He can appoint but still does not know policy regardless if he's liked or not...

He really trying to get ppl on benches so they'll take his bribes in the future

nope

Yes, that is perfectly reasonable.

he does vows?

Not yet wait awhile

That can literally mean anything.

So Low! NO RESPECT!

Democrats immediately denounced McConnell's move as hypocritical, pointing out that he refused to call hearings for Merrick Garland, Obama's pick, 237 days before the 2016 election. The 2020 election is 46 days away.

MerrickGarland

And we vow to eliminate you!

What a weird thing for a president to do.

Ummm isn’t that the Presidents job

He has to.. We must have a full Supreme Court going into this election. Biden has already hired a thousand lawyers to contest the election that hasn't even happened yet. FillTheVacancy

Yea a gay hater for sure, from what I’ve read. And yet some gays vote for him Don’t get it

Really fuckin sad abt it huh?!🖕45...

Yes! This is the best news!

And just like that my timeline exploded

If Hillary was President. She would push for a replacement ASAP. Relax.

Smart man!

Democrats on suicide watch

So he is doing his job?

Yup. And he has every right to. He’s President. Cry more liberal losers
