President Trump confirmed on Saturday morning that he has decided that a replacement for late SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be chosen “without delay.”
Only hours after Ginsburg’s death was confirmed by the court on Friday evening, Democrats erupted in — sometimes violent — threats warning Trump and the GOP against attempting to fill the vacancy before election day.
Democrat hysteria has not deterred Trump from pushing forward. After ordering the White House to fly the flags at half-staff to honor Ginsburg, Trump tweeted that the GOP has an “obligation” to fill the seat.
“@GOP We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “We have this obligation, without delay!”
According to an NPR report, one of Ginsburg’s final wishes is that her seat “will not be replaced until a new President is installed.”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who refused to bring Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland in 2016 to a vote, confirmed that he will attempt to confirm Trump’s choice when it is officially announced.
However, McConnell warned GOP senators to not “lock yourselves into a position you may later regret” in regard to a SCOTUS nomination as the battle heats up with just weeks to go until the election.
“Over the coming days, we are all going to come under tremendous pressure from the press to announce how we will handle the coming nomination,” McConnell wrote in a letter to his GOP colleagues. “For those of you who are unsure how to answer, or for those inclined to oppose giving a nominee a vote, I urge you all to keep your powder dry.”

President Trump is 100% correct. A new replacement has to be decided ASAP before the elections. Anyway, he
will be very busy after.

The dumacrats are raising hell because they want President Trump to wait for the next president. They seem to forget they were all happy when Obama filled Justice Scalia’s open position. Double standards? I think so.

Could have chosen a replacement,but now we have to go on about our business of running our country.PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOING THE RIGHT THING,CHOSE ONE NOW
Absolutely! Ginsberg must be replaced immediately. Let the Democrats complain and cry all they want to.
Agree! We had our fill of Obama!
To bad people the Senators refuse to vote before the election. A lot of Gop’s up this year and they are having a tough time. So they refuse to vote on the SS Justice. That is why the Dems are taking over America because the Gop has no guts. So much for Americans getting a fair shake. The GOP’S are more worried about themselves.
Absolutely agree w you Nancy. This is just how democrats are..
Time will tell…
No guts and no backbone but I will never vote for the Dumbocrats.
The choice is yours Mr. President. But the majority of us want something done now. You have the power . Use it now please. I have a low education but I still have common sense. Don’t take any $%^*& from the democRATS.
Consider your children and grandchildren and vote for a conservative Supreme Court Judge now. Or are you one of the Republicans known as rinos? (Don’t be a Mitt Romney. He is sickening to watch!)
A nice lady would be nice BUT PLEASE NO OBAMA HE’LL RUIN THE USA
A woman for women rights. Not Hillery either.
They either get with the President or they get out of the senate, Boys
Do it now. Appoint someone pro life. The demorats wouldn’t wait if they were in the White House.
Robert, you’re exactly right. If the situation was reversed, the DEMONRATS would have their choice in the court within a week.
Look at it this way…… do you REALLY think the DEMONRATS would show the same consideration if the choice to name another S.C. Justice were placed in THEIR hands? HELL,NO! They would run their corrupt candidate through
so fast, it would give you a dizzy spell! President Trump: “STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT” . Oh, by the way, I would not tear up about Ginsberg’s final wish. Thai is just some more Demonrat propaganda….. a.k.a. …..LIES!
Ron , you’re absolutely right. Their motto is , do as I say, not as I do!!
You will see who the rinos are when the vote is taken—–all of them need to resign after vote—
The President was elected to serve as Commander in Chief for four years not three years and nine months. It is his duty to appoint a new justice and have him/her confirmed while he is President. Susan Collins from Maine or Romney or any other RINO or democrat can shove their advise up their butt. The president elect will be a different President elect four years later. and it is not necessary to postpone his duty to satisfy any one else.
Your candidates are all well screened, Mr. President, and we the people need a replacement quickly. All take the oath of office and promise to abide by and defend our Constitution but some seem to forget that their job is to uphold our Constitution on all of their decisions. This should not be decisions along party lines and you have made two great choices thus far in your first four years and we know you will again.
Did you notice that when Biden had a televised message, sometimes a person signing for the deaf accompanied him on screen. They no longer do that because when he had a “Biden moment”, the signer didn’t know what the hell to do.
Good. Enough said.
ALL, the previous comments say it all.. Jump in and get your feet wet, that is exactly what the dimwits would do..
I believe in our amazing president will do what’s right and good for the American people!!
Unfortunately, there are a number of Trump hating republican RINO’S that will oppose McConnell’s pressure and refuse to vote before the election. Collins and Murkowski have already stated they won’t vote until after the election, and there is Trump hater, Romney, as well as Alexander, and possibly Rand will oppose an early vote as well, plus all democrats will vote against anyone Trump proposes.
Republicans as a whole appear to be gutless and spineless. They need to learn from President Trump. Never back down in face of adversity. That is why President Trump gets my vote November 3rd!
It is your JOB Mr President……..The Senators have a duty to vote…….
that’s funny i would have swore she said , have President Trump replace me ASAP……………..
I think Mr Cruz would be a good choice because he knows the constitution very well.
And if the Democrats were now in power, would they postpone appointing the new SCOTUS Justice until AFTER the election?
There is going to be a a lot of problems in tallying the results of the election on 11/03/020 due to democratic cheating. Those problems may have to be resolved by the supreme court We need a full court of 9 members at this time to expedite the finalization of the results of the election.
CONSERVATIVE JUDGE ! Screw the DEMON-RATS!
Ask for the Lord’s help in choosing a replacement for Ginsburg.
Please Mr. President put someone in there now you know the Democrats would without even thinking You are our president and you have the right just put somebody in there right now thank you Mr. President
Get it done now. Just make sure that you feel this person is going to maintain our constitutional rights. We trust our president’s decision. Thank you
what difference does it make President TRUMP is going to win the election
Anyone who has read Harbinger II will realize that the President needs to put up a Pro-Life , conservative, supporter of the constitution.
Condeliza Rice would be a good choice in my opinion.
Edwin, Condoliza Rice, is pro-choice, so she would not be a good candidate for the Supreme Court.
Fill the Vacancy Mr. President.
Me. President, please fill the vacancy ASAP. We need the ninth Justice with the elections being threatened by the opposition, we must have the deciding Justice. The FAR LEFT OPPOSITION will do everything in its whining ways to delay any action. But you are the POTUS, you will have to help us, the citizens by filling that vacancy. Thank you

It is your duty to fill the spot. do the right thing, and nominate a good judge Mr. President, let the demonrats have a fit. That is nothing new for them, and—- they would do the same thing if they were in power. We need a good conservative judge who will follow the constitution and the law. No more liberals who don’t. Roberts has gone too far to the left to be impartial.
