The dying wish of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was to not be replaced until after the next president is inaugurated in January.
“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” Ginsburg said in parting statement she dictated days before her death Friday, to her granddaughter Clara Spera, according to NPR.
Ginsburg died from complications from metastatic cancer of the pancreas, the Supreme Court announced.
Her final wish acknowledged the battle to come.
Her departure as a left-leaning leader of the court already jolts the bench farther to the right, setting the table for potential challenges of landmark decisions, like Roe V. Wade.
A third appointment from President Trump would give conservatives a 6-to-3 majority.
“Our nation has lost a jurist of historic stature,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., said of Ginsburg.
“We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague.”
Without Ginsburg, the Supreme Court is left with three liberal justices: Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. The conservative justices include Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, with John Roberts also leaning to the right. -

Dying "wish?" What a cheap political stunt trying to use people's sympathy to get her way in death. Not that the left wing rioters wouldn't start torching cities soon anyway, but by her doing that, now it will be worse.
Thanks a lot, RBG. You have secured your legacy. -

She was a judge, not a ****ing emperor. The president gets to nominate her replacement and there is NOTHING that you scum liberals can do about that. FUCK you all. Another conservative on the bench.
In a hundred years no one will care. -

I love how involved you are when it comes to me. Your obsession is both creepy and disturbing.
But since your an unemployed shut in , I'm not too worried.

The fact that the late RBG had publicly expressed her desire that President Trump not nominate her replacement is proof positive that the court has become a political instrument rather than the ultimate arbiter of law it was intended to be.
Many people within her circle pleaded with her to retire during Obama's last term. She declined, obviously. My guess is she was just as convinced as every other leftist was that Hillary would follow Obama.
Oops.
Right now decades old sexual assault allegations against possible SCOTUS nominees are being discovered.
