WASHINGTON - With 86-year-old liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg enduring a series of health scares, the question of whether President Donald Trump will get to make yet another U.S. Supreme Court appointment before the 2020 election lingers as the nine justices prepare to begin their new term next week.
Trump, who took office in 2017 and is seeking re-election next year, already has appointed two justices - conservatives Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch - who have pushed the court further to the right. McConnell, who has made confirmation of Trump judicial appointees a paramount priority, made clear his intentions when asked in May at an event in his home state of Kentucky what he would do if a Supreme Court vacancy arose in 2020.
The diminutive and frail-looking justice also appeared in recent weeks alongside Justice Sonia Sotomayor at an event celebrating retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, 89, the first woman to serve on the court. “If people thought that Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation fight was ugly, just wait until the next one,” Davis said, referring to contentious Senate hearings in which Kavanaugh denied allegations of decades-old sexual misconduct.
JennyHatch I call that good news
JennyHatch
Picks will probably be judges who would be considered Left 30 years ago to today’s standards. 🥦
un autre grief d'impeachment ?! Allons seulement..
les juges sont des juges de l'Etat US.. ils se doivent de travailler dans le respect strict que tous nous lisons de la constitution US et des lois de la République devant leur conscience de soi et de l'être !
What’s a conservative?
Yes! I like that very Much!👏🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
GodJesusHS That will be so awesome
Yep
usmade1001 Constitutionalist majority.
GoldStuart Hope so
GodJesusHS Let's make it happen. Trump 2020
Is this a great country or what.
Yes and it should ReElectTrump2020 KAG2020
That's why the Democrats are running a last ditch attempt at getting rid of Trump and Pence with this impeachment nonsense. Here is Jon Solomon with proof by the Ukrainian Embassy that the media refuses to cover.
That wouldn't make it 7-2. That would make it 6-2-1, with John Roberts being the 1.
JUST HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!!!
That’s exactly why POTUS will be re-elected. Did you see the amount of money we, the people, donated to his campaign this quarter? You think we’re not going to elect him again? Yes, we are.
Good.
That would be so very sweet!
Yes!!!!!
that would stave of communism for a generation.
Why do u think they are impeaching & don't wait for the election The election is less than 13 month but they still want to impeach!! Let be honest, her cancer moved from lungs to pancreas in few month, means? Yes, it metastasis, so she won’t be around that long!!!
If were lucky yes
That would be amazing.
Would love to have additional Constitutional Originalist when the time arises. But for now I wish Ginsburg & Breyer with the best of health and for both to stay on SCOTUS as long as they want to and can perform their duties.
Quite a mature individuals for the justice seat....
wr2020ny Merry Litmas! 🤗
RBG has few more months MAXIMUM
The Supreme Court is one of the reasons the Democrats are staging a coup against Trump. They still savage Kavanaugh to neutralize him and now are trying to remove Trump to deny him the opportunity to replace those two liberals.
That would be great.
NO NO NO
Oh hell yeah!
EXCELLENT!!!
Good! Now the Dems are going to feel what it's like to be under the gun of an unbalanced court.
Making America Great Again. POTUS 2020. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Democrats sat and did nothing when Obama should have been the President who picked one of the justices but they didn’t want to cause a fight. Things may be changing now but I wish Dems had grown a spine 20-30 yrs ago when Republicans abandoned any pretense of cooperation.
You are not seriously talking about Trump2020..? 🤣 TrumpResign TrumpCrimeFamily
Yes; the Lord is blessing America and our President/Vice President.
Heaven forbid we have justices who strictly interpret the constitution instead of looking for every opportunity to legislate intersectional theory from the bench. What a tragedy that would be.
Such is democracy.
That is one reason why Democrats must nominate someone who can and will defeat Trump in Election2020.
Put in stark terms, it would mean this adolescent, criminal, mentally ill Individual 1 would have appointed 4 of the 9 serving supreme court justices! ImpeachmentHearings DitchMitch2020 BlueWave2020
Isn’t the Supreme Court supposed to be impartial? 🤔
Don’t get your hopes up
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
Trump won't be re elected so this article is mute.
Donald Trump isn’t replacing Ruth with jack shit as long as he’s under impeachment.
What's a conservative?
对美国是个好消息。灯塔国又会亮起来。
If that’s not a reason to vote out mango menace
The methodology of choosing SCJ is ridiculous, justice cannot be served by having politicians choose the people for these incredibly important and supposedly Apolitical positions.
Finally. She should retire long time ago.
God willing!
Perhaps the most important reason to get out and vote in 2020
Absolutely not!!
John Roberts is not a conservative. The new ones are also wiffy. So with Breyer and RBG replaced, USSC would finally be majority decent again.
😳🤭👎
You finally worked this out? This is the reason there are major attacks on MR TRUMP S SCOTUS picks already.
Senate will flip, so will the White House..you can take that to the bank
A boon for sanity and justice.
Woot!
one can only hope
👀
He will be impeached and removed before the 2020 Elections! Guaranteed
This is the best news I've heard all year!
A loss may see the addition of 6 extra SCOTUS justices. All flaming liberals. Shred all pretense of norms, and expect that to be turned against you
Is today another slow news day for you people? In case you missed it, there are NO openings on the Supreme Court. Everyone is alive and well. Are you making up FakeNews again? I trusted you as a good source of news but this is nowhere near news - Go back to Journalism school!
CANT WAIT !!!! Time to cleanse the SCOTUS of the liberal ideologies
And Mitch will do so at the first opportunity.
ruth is still alive last time I checked
The US has been set back 30 years by this wave of retrograde appointments. This was the GOP's plan all along, to styme progressive and secular development of US society.
Yeah,speaking from a logical point of view
Why are we talking about this? Did one of them kick it or something?
Interesting choice of words. Since when is it “pushing through” when you’re in the majority?
He will win. And right after, he will dissolve any remnants of democracy in this country. Welcome to the Empire of Trump.
When I was young, always held US in awe as a great country... now I wouldnt want to raise children there even if someone paid me....its a shame. No country is perfect. But US clearly heading in wrong direction on so many issues
If he wins in 2020 democracy is dead
WHEN...not if!
They need to update the sign.
More evidence for the reason of the hatred towards him. it is all about politics but he will prevail. Trump will most likely appoint 2 more people to SCOTUS
Reuters fear-mongering to shake their MSM base.
'IF' All Democrats agree, he will WIN! TRUMP2020KAG!!!!
Nixon was lucky to do that. That could make Trump im-impeachable.
That is exactly what this country needs.
Hooray!
And that is one of the reasons the Democrats are staging a coup.
Let's hope so!
Not happening, so no worries
We're getting rid of the deranged criminal, one way or another. Between impeachment and the election, I think that's the way it's going to go. His nominations should all be reversed, being that he's illegitimate and insane.
Imagine the scope of evil that would come from Trump having a more Conservative Court.
And the Democrats are almost guaranteeing him of that victory with all this impeachment stuff.
I AM THE WHISTLEBLOWER
Hell he would disband them and any group that might make a judgement against him.
Wow. Really? What fantastic reporting. In other news, the sky is blue.
Please explain how this tweet amounts to 'news' & not Democrat/Establishment/Globalist Propaganda?
They're not conservative They're Republican The two different things
Whoop!
STOP making a commercial for this deviant man.
If....
What if it's Mike Pence? Same thing?
