Justice Ginsburg's death leaves the US Supreme Court under a cloud of uncertainty as it prepares to begin a new term in 2 weeks, with questions about how some of the major cases on the docket — including the fate of Obamacare — will be affected.

If Roberts, who has voted in the past to uphold the law, sided with the liberals this time, that 4-4 tie would leave the lower court ruling in place, which declared the law invalid., asks the justices to decide whether there's a religious freedom exception to non-discrimination laws.

One of Ginsburg's closest friends, Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio, reported that a few days before her death, the justice gave this statement to her granddaughter:"Because the winner of the presidential election won't take the oath of office until Jan. 20, her dying wish seems unlikely to be fulfilled.

If the election is a close one, and some state results are disputed in court, those legal battles might still be raging. In 2000, the country didn't know whether the next president would be George W. Bush or Al Gore until the Supreme Court decided the Florida recount case in mid-December.

TheResistance? 'The Senate just confirmed three more of Trump's Federal Judges. These judges will be with us for the rest of our lives. The only Democrat senators to vote NO on all three: Markey (MA), Blumenthal (CT), Gillibrand (NY), Warren (MA).'

And trump has no health care plan. Trump must be voted out Blue wave

Obamacare was a failure

All the more reason we need to get the spot filled.

I think one thing has become abundantly clear with this failed presidency and this election. Our fail safes for democracy has failed a complete overhaul needs to be done . From the electoral college, number of senators per state should be per population, Supreme Court process fed

The senate is gonna approve a new justice before they pass a second stimulus package mark my words!

People can sue over people calling it and naming it coronavirus and covid 19

The show must go on. I'm sure she would be happy to know her seat is probably going to be filled by another woman. Amy Coney Barrett or maybe even Britt Grant. Either way, both are under 50, and have a long time to have input on the bench.

No need to worry. There will be a 9th Justice before the end of October.

Next Supreme Court Justice!

They will press on every last nerve democracy has

The court should hear a case reguarding the picking of RBG. replacment. Just saying, I have a feeling this won't end well if they allow the Twitwit to pick before the election.

All the more reason to fill it now!

Hope you enjoyed having jobs, women! Was nice working with you!

She should have resigned years ago when got cancer. She played politics to kept the seat for Dems for years. Not only irresponsible for US justice system, but also sacrificing her peaceful retirement life, which is a shame.

Maintaining the ACA has large popular support. Losing it mean returning to pre-existing conditions. There should be a thousand Dem ads about this.

This is why it needs to be filled ASAP!

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Shared Her 'Fervent' Last Wish Before Her Death'My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.' Not gonna happen 😂😂😂 I don't believe she was more worried about than facing God. She spent her career in the Senate having her wishes overrule the Constitution, but this is one time it's not going to happen. The Constitution gives the president the right to name a replacement for a vacant Supreme Court seat at a time of his choosing, and Trump chooses now.
