Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s granddaughter revealed the 87-year-old Supreme Court justice’s dying wish, which Ginsburg gave to her just days before passing.
NPR reported that Ginsburg “dictated” the following statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”
Ginsburg was widely praised by those across the political spectrum for her toughness in battling five separate bouts of cancer.
The Supreme Court released the following statement in response to Ginsburg’s death:
Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died this evening surrounded by her family at her home in Washington, D.C., due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer. She was 87 years old. Justice Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Clinton in 1993. She was the second woman appointed to the Court and served more than 27 years.

Her husband, Martin David Ginsburg, died in 2010. Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. said of Justice Ginsburg: “Our Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice.” Justice Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, March 15, 1933. She married Martin D. Ginsburg in 1954. She received her B.A. from Cornell University, attended Harvard Law School, and received her LL.B. from Columbia Law School.

So all the Dems that are now saying the President should not nominate in an election year are the same Dems that in 2016 were approving of Obama nominating in an election year. It's one of the President's bedrock duties, and that duty doesn't end juts because there's an election coming!
The left should be blaming her for not retiring when the Muslim was in the Oval Office. If she had retired then he could have replaced her with one of his Muslim or commie buddies. The left can also blame Harry Reid for changing the senate rules. In any event her alleged last wish means nothing compared to the loss of freedom and livelihood if the SCOTUS ever gets run by the left.
It's not in her wheelhouse to dictate who will nominate a replacement, it's up to the President (sitting) and not Congress. We can expect Chucky and gang to impede the process, but Chucky, remember it was Democratic Reid that changed the Senate Rules on confirmation by the Senate to a simple majority. You loose as it was your party that made the change and you voted for it. President Trump has the Constitutional Authority to nominate and the Senate has the authority to confirm. It does not say nor limit the nomination to an election year or not.
I don't believe for one minute that RBG said anything about being replaced ....That is just another DEMON RAT COMMUNIST PLOY ....they think they have the election all sewed up with their voter mail in fraud and we will miraculously find a bunch of Biden votes 3 days after election ....Just enough to win and they will be counted!!!! ILLEGAL AS ALL HELL as the votes that are collected on election night are the votes that should only count!!!
Trump will do the right thing 👌 👍 always does ! God bless him and his family 👪 🙏 ❤
