Oh the hypocrisy from four years ago will be stunning.

I am hoping we can keep this from becoming too political. Justice Ginsburg was a remarkable justice, and an even more remarkable human being. It would certainly pay homage to her legacy if Senator McConnell lets the people decide like he did in 2016...but regardless of how that plays out, we should recognize the incredible human being we lost today.

Let's just share a moment of peace in honor of Justice Ginsburg.

And this will be a sh*tshow.

Murkowski and Grassley have previously said they are opposed to filling the seat in 2020. Need two more. Collins and Romney.

Thought she should have retired in 2015 considering her health issues.

I can see Grassley flipping on the issue. Collins might be ok, given her tough race. She can’t afford to antagonize more independents, I think.

Grassley will fold. Collins will make her usual concerned noises before folding.

Romney, maybe Murkowski, and...???

She's down 12.  She's cooked anyway.

Neal Katyal initial reaction:

This gave me something to hold on to for sanity after yelling "F*ck!!!" and freaking out the kids. Her legacy is monument of its own.

Also.....2020 can suck a big fat D

My guess is that Grassley joins her as a proceduralist, Romney joins on principle and to stick it to Trump.

Then they can say they voted their conscience, still reap the benefits, and Mike Pence will orgasm all over the senate floor as he casts the deciding vote.

@briantylercohen: NEW: Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) announces she will NOT vote to replace RBG on SCOTUS until after Election Day. "Fair is fair," she says.

Just a clarification, she said this, this afternoon during normal Q&A, not in response to her death.

Neal Katyal is very level headed.

Also besides expanding Supreme Court from 9 to 11, Democrats could also expand lower federal courts by 70-100 new judgeships etc....if Republicans tried to rush someone for Supreme Court. They have options.

Meanwhile, here is NY Times on RBG:

Neal Katyal is very level headed.

Maybe he is, but I disagree with his analysis. Exactly what "devastating consequences" will Trump face by filling the seat?
