I see people already throwing in the towel and treating it as a foregone conclusion that the GOP will commit an act of monstrously blatant hypocrisy by filling RBG’s seat before the election.
That’s cowardly. They may do it, but treating it as expected is a form of surrender.
“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” Ginsburg said just days before she died.
How would she feel to see her own allies out here on Twitter declaring the fight over before it has started? With her body still warm?
There was never any doubt Trump & McConnell would *try* to fill the seat. They made that clear long ago. The question is whether the media/dems/public clear the path by framing it as the obvious move, or harder by treating every GOP vote to confirm as the travesty it would be.
Not so well, admittedly, but if I didn’t believe it’s worth at least trying to shame people when they engage in fuckery on a grand scale then I guess I wouldn’t be a journalist
Yes to this. Both parts.
I know this isn't tech but I turned it into a post anyway. Thanks to @GENmag & @IndraniNY for the opportunity.
