It's SAD to see the back-and-forth bickering about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's so-called "Dying Wish" (that in the event of her death, Trump would not be allowed to pick her successor to the Supreme Court). It's SAD that she hasn't even been BURIED yet and someone started this divisive rumor. And frankly, to believe that such a "Dying Wish" was ever made in the first place insults the late judge's intelligence and memory.
Ginsburg was a JUDGE, and if she did, indeed make such a "Dying Wish," unless it was meant as a JOKE and someone is trying to make it serious, a "Dying Wish" like that shows TERRIBLE judgment.
1.) Ginsburg had to be smart enough to realize that such a "Dying Wish" was ridiculous. Trump has EVERY Constitutional right, in fact he has an OBLIGATION, to replace her in the event of her death AS LONG AS HE IS PRESIDENT. She should have retired before the 2016 election if she didn't want to risk having him replace her....maybe at the beginning of OBAMA'S second term.
2.) RBG had to be savvy enough to know that such a "Dying Wish," if made public, would be widely disbelieved. Why didn't she make a TAPE, or leave a written DOCUMENT, regarding her wishes?? She had to know, as a judge, that when someone says they HEARD her "Dying Wish" it's only HEARSAY in a Court of Law. In the COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION, though, for MOST people, it's not EVEN up to the threshold of Hearsay, it's just a cheap attempt at emotional manipulation. I just refuse to believe that RBG was that dumb.
Yes, to believe that such a "Dying Wish" was ever made insults the late judge's intelligence and memory. And it ALSO insults the intelligence of those expected to swallow it, hook, line and sinker.
Regarding those who DO believe it, well, in my opinion they have little intelligence to insult!!
LET'S GET ON WITH NAMING HER PROPOSED SUCCESSOR, AND VOTING ON HER NOW....
