What job was Addison doing?No interview of Garland, no hearings, no vote.I'll take a do-nothing job like that seven days a week.By declaring, before Scalia's body was even cold, there would be no movement on a nominee, Big Mac cemented there wasn't going to be a 9 justice court for well over a year-15 months to be exact as it turns out. I don't recall bitter tears being shed here over that occurrence.
Ruth is simply exercising the same "I don't have to if I don't want to" option as Mitch chose.
Looks like you guys are going to have to put on hold your plans on breaking out the champagne.

I'm fairly confident Trump puts another on the SC. Not saying or hoping she passes away or anything...but at some point, at her age, you have to put the needs of yourself over the needs of fellow liberals. Every person has their breaking point...hers is coming soon.

by the time he leaves office, it could be 7 - 2 leaning right … set back the dim 'progress' 50 years, long after I'm dead

The fact the graphic was even created is a big OOPS at Fox.
Somebody should swing for that.

A lot of good men died to make this happen. They have been long forgotten by those "that know better".

This about sums it up.
The national guilt this country loves to embrace will be it's downfall.
Those "enlightened" folks will tell us it's old and doesn't apply in today's world, then quote Socrates and Aristotle to make their point.

Truth is, they have all this stuff prepared for celebrities, politicians, etc who are elderly or ill. How do you think they immediately get out these long obit stories and video pieces on these people who die? They are prepared well in advance of them actually dying.
I'm sure ALL the major news networks have graphics and video pieces already produced (like FOX) telling the story of their lives after they've died. It's already in the can. The only thing they have to fill in is date and cause of death...
It's standard operating procedure, as morbid as it may be.

Difference is, FOX does't show them and then pretend they are true, like the sites FanDan links to.

Those graphics are made up on every network, way in advance. Obits are written too, for newspapers and wire services.
Bob Hope used to joke about his NBC news obit going from 28mm film to VHS- then computers

Maybe its time for her to show her face to the media now, you know for proof of age or something. Robert Mueller where are you? Give us some confirmation.
