I truly hope this report is accurate. Putting another constitutionalist on the SCOTUS is, indeed, HUGE! ~hh
Another “huge” victory for President Trump is looming.
Mark Taylor has been prophesying for some time that
President Trump would appoint 5 people to the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump has nominated
two justices so far, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. Both were confirmed by the U.S.
Senate.
U.S. Supreme Court
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG, to her leftist pals) has had a re-occurrence
of malignant melanoma, she has told her law clerks.
Ginsburg was treated in 1999 for colon cancer and had surgery in 2009 for
pancreatic cancer. Reportedly she will retire in January.
RBG has told key
Democratic members of the Senate about her medical condition, including ranking
Democratic member of the Judiciary Committee Dianne Feinstein.
This partly explains the "take no prisoners" attitude of the
Democrats during the Kavanaugh nomination.
President Trump
will be replacing the lovechild of the left, and so will remake
the Supreme Court for a generation.
Ginsburg, 85 was appointed by President Bill Clinton and
took the oath of office on August 10, 1993. She is the second female justice
(after Sandra Day O'Connor) of four to be confirmed to the court (along with
Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, who are still serving). Following O'Connor's
retirement, and until Sotomayor joined the court, Ginsburg was the only female
justice on the Supreme Court. During that time, Ginsburg became more forceful
with her dissents, which were noted by legal observers and in popular culture.
She is generally viewed as belonging to the leftist wing of the court. Ginsburg
has authored notable majority opinions, including United States v. Virginia,
Olmstead v. L.C., and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental
Services, Inc.
Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Russian
Jewish immigrants. She earned her bachelor's degree at Cornell University, and
was a wife and mother before starting law school at Harvard, where she was one
of the few women in her class. Ginsburg transferred to Columbia Law School,
(home to leftists) where she graduated tied for first in her class.
Following law school, Ginsburg turned to academia. She
was a professor at Rutgers School of Law and Columbia Law School, teaching
civil procedure as one of the few women in her field. Ginsburg spent a considerable part of her legal
career as an advocate for the advancement of gender equality and women's
rights, winning multiple victories arguing before the Supreme Court. She
advocated as a volunteer lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union and was
a member of its board of directors and one of its general counsels in the
1970s. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where she served until her
appointment to the Supreme Court.
