USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Supreme Court justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, died on Friday 18th, 2020 from cancer. She was 87. Justice Ginsberg, a well know activist judge, was decidedly anti-gun in her decisions while on the court. Including dissents that argued “Congress can regulate guns in school under Commerce clause” and “right to gun ownership is collective, not individual”.
NBC News opined “Despite her diminutive stature, Ginsburg was larger than life, both on and off the bench. Viewed as a feminist icon, she broke countless barriers, never shying away from making controversial comments along the way — with everything from her high court opinions to her octogenarian workout routines earning her the nickname the “Notorious R.B.G.” by her rabid fan base.”
This leaves an important seat on the Supreme Court of the United States open and Senator Mitch McConnell has come out previously and confirmed that he would fill this seat before the end of 2020 if not before the November election.
News of the death of Justice Ginsberg arrives a mere ten days after President Trump released his 2020 list of potential Supreme Court picks on September 9, 2020.
Here are all the new names on President Trump’s most recent list:
- Judge Bridget Bade, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals

Honest commentators on whether the Republican Senate majority will move forward with appointing a replacement for the now-vacant seat, pretty much agree, that it will happen before the election. Hang on to your guns and ammo it is gonna be a wild ride.
Ding dog the witch is dead! Tom Cotton would be a great replacement. He’s about as hard core 2A as you can get. And he’s young enough to hold that seat for a long time!
I read she is going to be interred at Arlington; which I think is a disgrace given her explicit criticism over years of the Constitution. … Bury her at sea; that no one might resurrect her ala Lenin.
No more activist judges. We need someone who will interpret the law, not enact law from the bench.
The libtards and Democrats must be shi**ng in their pants right now. We need someone who will protect the 2A and the rest of the Constitution.
Ichabod Crane finally went to Sleepy Hollow.
News reports are saying McConnell has said Trumps appointment will receive a vote on the senate floor.
This lifelong Communist should never have been allowed anywhere near the SCOTUS. She did huge harm to this nation.
Senator Ted Cruz should replace Ginsburg the Gun Grabber.
Cancer? Oh no she didnt die from that, she died from Covid 19 and it’s all trumps fault
Usually this happens in 3s soooo Pelosi your up followed by Biden on deck.Might not be such a bad year after all.
He missed Amy Barrett, the person I told him to put up for the job rather than the spineless Kavanaugh.
