Ruth Bader Ginsburg is going to be replaced by a woman who walked through every door that Ginsburg opened for her so she can promptly use her position to shut them all for others behind her.

1. Of course,

After she has permission from her Handmaid, Husband Head and his Head Head, since she is oath-bound to do so.

We wouldn't want her to neglect a sacred obligation.

[mdbl]

15. Makes me barf

[onecaliberal]

2. But but but it's okay. They love RBG and they're her friends.

[DFW]

3. Paddy Chayefsky put it brilliantly 44 years ago

This isn't just biting the hand that feeds you, This is ripping it off at the shoulder.

[Nevilledog]

4. It's worse than that... They think they got there all on their own.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Accurate, yes, but OW!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

6. Mind boggling how a person can be so blind to their own privilege and so oblivious of those

who cleared the path to make it possible.

[lunatica]

29. They pull up the ladder after they climb it.

So no one else can climb it behind them.

36. Really, no surprise

That's exactly how Clarence Thomas has voted as a Supreme Court justice. His entire life was made possible by the Civil Rights Movement yet he votes against every form of civil rights that comes before the Court.

[lunatica]

37. Imagine all the people who have been hurt by just this one man.

And we all suffer from it indirectly. SCOTUS decisions impact millions of lives.

Just think where our country would be if SCOTUS had selected Al Gore to be President.

7. K & R...for truth...nt

[Fla Dem]

8. Profound. Best quote I've read in a long time.

[Sogo]

9. Sad but true....

[OneBro]

10. Much like when a scion like Thurgood Marshall was replaced by Bull Connor in blackface.

[TruckFump]

11. Every time I think of that POS sitting where Thurgood Marshall sat, I become angry all over again.

What amazes is that these impostors feel no shame that they are merely tokens sitting where great legal scholars once sat.

Marshall and Ginsburg...giants of the court. Thomas and Barrett...not fit to say their names aloud.

[OneBro]

22. After all these years, Thomas in Justice Marshall's seat is no less tragic now than it was then.

[TruckFump]

27. ABSOLUTELY! EOM

[dhol82]

28. Still not sure why H.W. submitted his name.

He was such a sleaze.

[TruckFump]

31. I would imagine that Dick Cheney had something to do with it. EOM

[dhol82]

33. Interesting. Why would Cheney want this jerk on the court?

Payoff?

[TruckFump]

34. With Cheney...

...just pure evil and probably an intended insult to the work and memory of Marshall. Just like with Barrett...an intended insult to the work and memory of RBG. I can see tRump being jealous of the admiration and love that RBG had directed toward her from so many places and people. RBG: Small in stature, a giant in her good works. I have shed so many tears over her loss to our nation. I felt protected with her on the court. Barrett scares the hell out of me.

[dhol82]

35. I feel the same.

[Efilroft Sul]

12. People like that excel at pulling up the ladder behind them.

[notinkansas]

13. WOW!!

Nominee taken down in a single sentence.

[Lonestarblue]

14. I suppose Barrett has already signed her personal loyalty oath to Trump.

He has his regular fixer with AG Barr, so now he needs a backup fixer on the Supreme Court who has no doubt promised to help appoint him president if the election can be thrown to the SC. We indeed live in troubled times.

[dlk]

16. Where's the footage of Trump's interview where he said women having abortions should be jailed?

And he also said doctors should be jailed. Dems should be playing that footage everywhere.

[ananda]

17. Same for Clarence Thomas..

.. used Affirmative Action and then ruled against it.

Nutz

[johnnyfins]

18. Here is a thought

The simple fact that she accepted this nomination, so close to such a consequential presidential election, shows what kind of person she is. I will not be paying attention to any of the confirmation hearings. She has already marked herself by choosing ambition over the country.

[MacKasey]

40. Absolutely correct!

No soul, morals or principles

Just an conniving, greedy person who would sell her soul to the devil to get ahead.

[speaknow]

19. So true

RBG did a lot for equal rights. If the
Dem's take all. Then they can give
Barret door out! Be the First woman
on the bench to get impeached!

[johnnyfins]

21. I hear you.

If Trumpo can slash and burn anything from the Obama administration, I say the gloves are off.

[calimary]

23. Yep. ABSO-FREAKIN'-LUTELY.

I, too, say the gloves are off. And thrown away.

[calimary]

24. Well, that'd really give her an unparalleled place in history!

[C Moon]

20. "These are books. These aren't for you."

[Cha]

25. Rt.. This is Brilliant & Not fair!

[StarryNite]

26. And the evangelicals who see women as inferior will cheer her on.

[Blue Owl]

30. K&R

[Rebl2]

32. Hope one

of the Democratic senators hammers that point home to barrett. She does not deserve this seat on the Supreme Court because of the hypocrisy of republicans.

[MFGsunny]

38. This! a million times THIS. n/t

[BlueWavePsych]

39. Drumpf's hypocrisy (and its nominee) are beyond words.

[dalton99a]

41. No truer words.
