RIP Justice Ginsburg

Another sad death. 2020 is rife with them. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died Friday the 18th of September 2020. The country and the process of running it must go on however. The way the politicians and the media are playing the nomination process is embarrassing. There is nothing that says the President is willing to, must, or even should wait until after the election. President Obama did the exact same thing in 2016, to the partisan outrage of the Republicans, nominating D.C. Circuit Judge Merrick Garland to fill the position left by Scalia. The difference is his party wasn’t the majority in the Senate at the time. So, Garland was rejected. The Republicans shouted the exact words that the Democrats are shouting now. The partisan hypocrisy is so transparent on both sides of the isle. I could write a book on titled “How to be a Hypocrite, The American Political Way”. I’ve no doubt the hypocrisy is worldwide, but I can only speak of my neck of the woods.
Don’t be duped by the politicians and/or the media. They only tell us what they want us to know or what will make them money. Don’t be fooled.

But this is just my opinion. Feel free to have one of your own.

Terms and Conditions: I would love to read your comments and opinions. If you comment I require you to have an opinion of your own. Don’t just say “I disagree”. Why do you disagree? In order for me to learn I need to know why. I also ask that you keep a civil tongue. I speak only for myself. To paraphrase John Wayne as J.B. Books from the 1976 movie The Shootist, I will not be called names. I will not be demeaned or ridiculed. I will not be chastised for my opinion. I don’t do these things to others, and I require the same from you. We can have an adult conversation. DO NOT take as an example of adult conversations our governmental representatives. They are rife with junior high schoolyard spats. We are not them.
