In Kansas City and across the nation there was really only one relevant discussion today: The fate of the republic following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Again, our only relevant contribution to this debate is that the overwhelming majority of opinion on this issue has neither influence nor insight into the decision.
Still, it has been fascinating to watch the discourse consider the future of the high court via memes, thinly veiled social media threats along with a great many impassioned local arguments.
Accordingly, we share some of our favorite news links on the topic and invite our blog community to join in on the discussion.

The Incredible RBG
If Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg was just another female lawyer, I would still have an affinity for her, but she was so much more. RBG WAS A BRILLIANT PIONEER WHO PROMOTED GENDER EQUALITY BEFORE HER TIME. She was amazing person, an amazing jurist, and had a brilliant legal mind.

Pack It Up, America!!!
How Democrats Could Pack the Supreme Court in 2021
It's an approach Democrats are already raising. Simple, right? Time for a reality check. It's true that Congress can shape the size of the Court to its political desires. In 1866, with a Congress at permanent war with President Andrew Johnson, it passed the Judicial Circuits Act, which cut the size of the court from nine to seven, and barred Johnson from appointing any new Justices.
You decide . . .
If they pack the supreme court, that's pretty much the end of it all. Sorry.
ReplyDelete^^^
DeleteMaybe that's why Trump shouldn't appoint a new nominee until AFTER the election.
I say pack it fast. GET HER DONE.
DeleteAnd yet it’s going to happen and the Republicans deserve it. Also Cavanaugh will be impeached when the Dems win the senate and the Presidency. Weird.
ReplyDeleteWhat? You’re on planet earth fella.
Delete^^^
ReplyDeleteOUCH!
Not sure what you’re smokin’ there, Sparky (546), but you probably shouldn’t drive or operate machinery until it wears off.
ReplyDeleteThe dimwits would’ve done and have done the same thing, I don’t care what you extreme violent leftist brain dead dimwit followers say. All they have done for four years is cry like little babies, wah wah wah, I want my way or I’m burning looting and murdering innocent people and businesses until I get my way, wah wah wah!
ReplyDeleteRight on.
DeleteFull speed ahead Mr President. Entertaining watching the left wing Karen heads explode. Wait until your landslide victory.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a landslide for Trump. No question about it. Biden is dead in the basement. Harris is a hoe.

If leftist Greenberg was so devoted to her beliefs she would have retired during Odummies administration to be sure a lefty replaced her. Instead the bullheaded lady had to milk her fame to her last breath.
ReplyDeletePray for her family but she was a leftist bitch.
DeleteThis Jewish woman Ginsberg killed more babies by abortion, than Hitler killed in number of jews. Will people even mention her holocast?
ReplyDeleteAll you Democrat women and your neutered husbands will get another chance to wear your pussy hats

Priceless!
It would be morally repugnant, therefore, we can count on Trump to do it.
ReplyDeleteI really hate Anti-Choice men.
Adoptions should be trough the roof.
I bet you’re the mature one who sent Risin to Trump. Those Dem hits just keep on coming......the party of mis-fit circus freaks. Karma is going to be a bitch.
DeleteHad Hitler not started WWII, then Ruth would now be the biggest genocidal instagator in the world to this point. Most babies aborted are black or hispanic. Very few jewish babies are aborted. She was racist. Black lives didnt matter to her
ReplyDeleteGood point. Unfortunately, the blacks don’t see it and continue to allow others, like RBG, that them into the gutter repeatedly. Very sad.
DeleteYou won't see that on the news. The black men loved her so they could get away with not pay for child support. Have her get an abortion.
DeleteThere are no hearts and minds to win. There has been, for 4 years, total war by any means against Conservatives which includes threats, intimidation and violence. Go ahead, wear a MAGA hat in KC. Give it enough time and you will find yourself in a fist fight for your wardrobe decision and political affiliations.
ReplyDeleteArguing facts, time lines, video evidence, anecdotal evidence, witness testimony, statutes, court cases, precedent, NOTHING makes any difference and all you will get for spending time trying to make you case with Progressive ideologues is rising decibel levels, emotional appeals to nebulous tautologies, subject changes and false equivalence comparisons.
On some level, even as obtuse and willfully impercipient as they are, I think they know, they have no real argument and part of the reason they are so willing to use violence and "Burn it all to the ground" is that instinctive knowledge, coupled with the inarticulated need to support their own egos, that are now, intrinsically tied up with positions they are too stupid to review, or, too arrogant to admit are ridiculous.
Rapists, sex offenders and felons of all types are heroes and their names are on the back of NFL Helmets? Defund the police? A guy can wake up one day and proclaim he is a woman and is allowed into the ladies bathroom? Guys get to compete on girls teams? Wreck your cities economy and damage forever your constituents business' in order to acquire power?
Two things you can bet your kids eyesight on, Progressives - if their lips are moving, are lying and if you do not buy into their lies, they will threaten, then commit violence against you, your neighbors, your city, state and if possible, "Burn the motherfucker down".
Nominate the next conservative for the court, fuck these assholes straight into hell.
I wear my magazines hat all over kc. But I pack too. Come and take it. Bam,Bam.

ReplyDelete"If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f-----g thing down," author Reza Aslan tweeted. He later responded to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's vow to hold a vote on President Trump's nominee. "Over our dead bodies, literally," he tweeted.

^^What a self-righteous crock of shit.

You are what's wrong with this country.
^^^ LOL! the douche @6:39 sits on the board all day, making hate-filled posts about how everyone who disagrees with him is..wait for it ..hate-filled.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!
Murkowski, Collins, and Romney have all said the won’t approve a new judge before the election. Only one more Senator is needed to block the nomination. A lot of Republicans are in close races at home. Sorry Mitch, you don’t have the votes. Not sorry.
ReplyDeleteNot what they have said. Another Dem lying on social media. Imagine that!
Delete
ReplyDeleteMcConnell is NOT a hypocrite for pushing for a Supreme Court replacement because the Republicans control both the White House and the Senate, unlike the Democrats in 2016, who controlled only the White House. Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president's Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year. The Democraps are masters of taking things out of context and outright lying.
Any Barret is very anti LGBTQ. That gets my vote regardless of any other issue. No more gay/faggot marriages. No queers holding hands or kissing in public. Eww!
ReplyDeleteA letter was intercepted at the White House and it contained ricin..... thank god an innocent person wasn’t murdered by these freaks. Jesus man, the violent extreme left wing nut jobs are out of control, peelousy and shitless could say or do something to stop the madness, but they’re behind all of this. This shit is getting way out of hand now.
ReplyDeleteGinsburg was a baby killer. And now she is in Hell.
ReplyDeleteDING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!
ReplyDeleteVery few folks in KC give a shit the old hag is kaput.
ReplyDeleteThe worst mistake I ever made was appointing Ruth Ginsburg to the Supreme Court.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I think is so funny? Trump had to fight Palm Spring to get permits for his resort because he let Jews and Blacks into his club and Palm Springs didn't like that. He also won the Ellis Island award for helping minority communities and yet the black people call him racist and the Jews vote for the people who hate them too. There's a lot of really sick and stupid people out there.
ReplyDeleteSomebody call my name?
DeleteHarry Reid, Democrat in charge, killed the filibuster in 2013 over the objections of McConnell and Republicans.
ReplyDeleteAt the time, Democrats cheered Reid’s decision. It was the age of Obama, and Democrats were content to revel in it – and ram it down our throats.
Historically, use of the filibuster either forced bipartisanship, or it resulted in a deadlock on nominations and legislation. As anyone who has lived through the age of Trump could tell you, Democrats don’t give a tinker’s damn about bipartisanship. They haven’t, they don’t now, and they never, ever, will.
Democrats are ruthless. They have ---
*repeatedly and illegally attempted to negate the 2016 election through numerous coups against the President;
*rioted, looted, and burned our cities all over the nation;
*set forest fires all over the West;
*used their federally imposed tech immunities to destroy any news outlet outside the mainstream echo chamber;
*censored tens of thousands of Americans;
*sowed racial division and demanded total thought conformity through lies and propaganda; and
*even now, they conspire to steal the 2020 election through fraud.
Nominate the next Justice now!
Abraham Lincoln grabbed my ass in 1865! Joe Biden groped my tits in 1869!
ReplyDeleteProgs no longer believe in debate, persuasion, or even congressional maneuvers — they just want to menace, burn, and kill, which is the sort of thing totalitarian mobs in nasty third-world hellholes do, if not National Socialists in action.
ReplyDeleteAnd they speak of it as if they haven't already been to that well once, burning and looting to demonstrate their supposed calls for what they claim to be racial justice, frequently targeting small black-owned buisnesses in inner cities to make their mendacious claims.
Basically, it's full blown civil war they want, and, like overconfident Confederates, they may be surprised how quickly they get it. Unlike the Confederates, they lack courage, so it could be over quickly.
What it tells the rest of us is that these aren't rational people. They're so deranged that they'll burn and kill as a means of getting what they can't get at the ballot box. They need to taken at their word that it's insurrection they want and smacked down hard.
Ruth and Janet Reno would have made a cute couple!
ReplyDeleteYes, but she would have had to have fought that bush muncher, Sharice off. She has eaten every beaver in DC.
DeleteI said 2020 Would be a GREAT SHOW. And the Left Communist are going crazy .They are singing BURN BABY BURN LEFTY INFERNO. THE PROTEST WILL RETURN TO KANSAS CITY BANANA REPUBLIC.
ReplyDeletejosh needs to make a more holistic statement.
ReplyDeletethe last thing r V w needs to be is a man's political fodder.
ReplyDelete"Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president's Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year."
ReplyDelete7:09: This is the second time (at least) today you've posted that lie. Anthony Kennedy, nominated by Ronald Reagan, was confirmed by a Democratic-controlled Congress in 1988. Better check back with Fox News, 9:38, for the lie of the day and remember it's best not to state as facts falsehoods that can easily be shown to be, ummmm... lies.
2016 is way too soon for people to forget Moscow Mitch making the opposite argument for what was then and is now a Republican power grab, and one way or the other, if he succeeds, it will come back to bite him and his party.
There will not be any war or fighting in the streets. People dont care enough to risk their lives, and rightly so. It would be stupid to fight. Politics is the only way to get what you want. Some may loot to get some nice electronic items, but thats it.
ReplyDeleteI saw Ruth interviewed and she loved her celebrity status, my what a ego she had, thinking she was so special. Cleopatra and every Queen of Spain, Italy, England and Emperoress honestly makes Ruth look like a shrivelled LOSER!
Ruth Bader Ginsburg shows no evidence of cancer now.
ReplyDeleteat least josh knows that 99.999999% are not interested in his appointment to the nation's highest court either.
ReplyDeleteBreaking! Ginsburg is still dead!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletegay demos fawned all over and called her the "Notorious RBG"
when,actually, if you can bear to look at her pics, it should be
"The Hideous RBG"
Bye bye fag hag!
ReplyDeleteSatan has been sodomizing her with his pitchfork from the moment she arrived.

ReplyDeleteFill the open Supreme Court Justice position ASAP.
F*cking Democrats would try to fill it as fast as they can if they had a chance.
Democrat Party is a bunch of radical homosexuals trying to impose their deviant ideas on the rest of the America. We let these f*cks out of the closet and now they are trying to take over the country.
F*ck that Lesbian bitch Ginsburg. Hope she rots in hell.
Marxist transgender Democrats were caught setting fires in the California forests. These people are crazy.
ReplyDeleteThey preach Climate Change 24/7 and they are the motherf*ckers burning down nature's forests.
The Radical Communist Democrats are going to burn and loot and try to steal the election with voter fraud.
ReplyDeleteThe mistake they are making is they do not realize there is an Army of patriots ready to protect their freedom and save their country.
Kind of like when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor; the Marxist Democrats have awakened a sleeping giant.
Is there any point to burying Ginsburg? How much more could she decay?
ReplyDeleteThey ought to put Ginsburg's head on a spike outside the U.S. air base in Afghanistan to scare off the Taliban.
ReplyDeleteLet me out of this hand basket.
ReplyDeleteI can always come to Tony's to get the pulse of the REAL people.
ReplyDeleteThe REAL slimy underbelly.
You know. REAL America. Right...Left...or in the middle, they hate everybody.
So many women the MSM lauds today for making such touching tributes to Ruth Bader Ginsburg for leading the way for a woman to serve on the SCOTUS.
ReplyDeleteNext week the same women will be trashing, degrading, spitting all over the woman President Trump nominates, for trying to serve on the SCOTUS.
Ruth is spending her first week in Hades. I bet she wishes time could be turned back 100 hours. The Judge has been Judged by the higher power and she is sizzling. Hopefully the babies she killed are celebrating justice finally afforded to them!
ReplyDeleteGinsberg and Hitler are arguing right now over which one killed the most babies - while they are roasting over an open fire!
ReplyDeleteSt. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas say there is no soul present in early stages, not until quickening when feel movements of baby. The catholic church has gone back & forth on this issue.
ReplyDeletea soul experiencing the zygote cleavaging and growth of fingers may otherwise be very uncomfortable.
Josh like internet stuff, maybe he should make illegal to see porn on internet until enter credit card number instead of just clicking button saying you are 18.
ReplyDeletePlenty of other issues surrounding sex pregnancy and birth, childcare, and healthcare/financial assistance of children born with physical or mental impairments that concern parents in present and after parents death.
In 1960, on average, persons with Down syndrome lived to be about 10 years old. In 2007, on average, persons with Down syndrome lived to be about 47 years old.
ReplyDeleteSt. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas also believe Christ was a failure, his death on the cross was not enough to save you! Therefore you must work your way to heaven.... And you dont even know if your going to heaven when you die. You might go to purgatory and your relatives then have to pay the church for masses to erase your sins and they never know if you have been released and are going to heaven or not. And there was a limbo for babies for centuries - then in the past 5 years the Pope announced it DIDNT EXIST! So where are the babies??? He can't say! The Catholic church is a bunch of made up hocus pocus added onto the Christian religion. Its adds enough dumb weight to take you to hell when you die. There is no bloody purgatory! Its BS to raise money for the cathedrals they built 600 years ago. Catholic faith is a portal to hell. Join Ruth there if you please.
ReplyDeleteIn 1960 Autism was rare. Now its common. Ruth had it for sure
ReplyDeleteRuth was a selfish egotistical joke.
ReplyDeleteMales need to stop making women burden the abortion question. They can can go on a pill, they can get a vasectomy, they can freeze their sperm, they can get a reverse vasectomy. Instead they want to run around like blathering egotistical maniacs cherishing their sperm and their dicks.
ReplyDelete12:10 and you are a mental case. not interested in your pontificating.
ReplyDelete12:10 maybe the buddists are right, there is no hell, ya just come back againagainagain to try to make you evolve into less of a dickhead.

ReplyDeleteThe GOP is in charge and need to stick to their own GOP rules.
ReplyDeleteNo appointments in an election year.
Rules used in 2016 must also be used in 2020.
If the GOP won't stick to their own rules now, then all bets are off next year. A fairly re-balanced court will be appointed.
She considered herself God. Now she stands corrected!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange how the Demonrats scream for bipartisanship after they have fucked things up and about to get fucked themselves because of their own actions?
ReplyDeleteSince Hitler's Mom tried to abort him several times, when Ruth meets Hitler in hell, and she supports abortion, a fight is gonna break out. And she will lose! Maybe they have already met in hell by now...jew vs. nazi
ReplyDeleteHopefully, Baby Burt, when the Democrats get control again they will say fuck bipartisanship and grow some balls.
ReplyDeleteRBG's last wish was that her position on court wouldnt be filled by Trump. But a dying fetus's last wish was to live....RBG made sure the fetus died. She supported women have careless sex and having abortions. What a demon!
