Pancreatic cancer at any stage or age is pretty much a worst case scenario, but at her age I think everyone knew it wouldn't be survivable. :^(

Is it crazy to hope the too close to an election 'rule' might apply to a replacement?

Maybe a moderator can fold the two threads together? I see Eric Sofer post the same time I did.

Fuck. This is NOT good. Ass face McConnell with show how truly
hypocritical he is (again) and try to push this thru as quick as he can.
Y’know. The exact fucking opposite of what happened last election
year.

Damn.

I wish I could say something profound or uplifting about her life, but all I can think is that RBG's passing came at the worst possible time... things are gonna get ugly starting right now.

Cue the inconsiderate, disrespectful, uncouth and obnoxious Trump tweet in 5... 4... 3... 2...

Are there any republican senators that will actually do the right thing
and do exactly what McConnell did last time?
