"By Pepe Escobar with permission from the author and first posted at Asia Times" I'm locked out of the Asia Times.

I don't know what that means.

But, I just browsed their home page, totally insane site or a parody. I am honestly not sure which.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died.
She was a revolutionary justice.

But, this also adds a new political conundrum, how fast will Trump try to push through a new justice.

Lindsey Graham to his credit said it would be most fair to wait until after the election.

If Trump loses the election, and tries to push through a nomination it could mean disaster to the court. President Obama lost a nomination in his last year.
Even if the next three Presidents are Democrats (not unlikely), it could take decades to turn the court.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Is Dead at 87

You know, I could write something totally sick and disgusting about this. I could give a "standing ovation" at her death. I could start "dancing in the streets" at her death.

BUT I'm not gonna do that because I have something called INTEGRITY and CLASS.
So I will give my condolences to her family because that's the type of person I am. A CLASSY person, not a piece of trash.

This is who Trump will pick to
replace RBG. Amy Coney Barrett.

You could write something totally sick and disgusting about this? Yeah...we know, you just did.

I was watching part of "There's something about Mary" last night remembering when the guy switches to the large binoculars. (could only find Spanish version)

I remember a "peeping Tom" experience I had when I was about age 11. We were at the YMCA and one of the boys discovered if you stood on a sink and smashed your head into the ceiling you could see over the wall into the girl's room. Eager to catch my first glimpse I climbed up, only to catch sight of an older woman whose breasts hung down to benches.

She was a revolutionary justice.

Revolutionary in a bad way. She seemed to rule on politics far more than the Constitution.

You mean we will have justices ruling on law and not feelings? That will be a good thing.

The first 20 sec of this video is
how the Left is reacting to
RBG kicking the bucket. Look
familiar?

What was one case of her ruling on a political ideology where she stood alone in dissent was clearly wrong (based on legal interpretation)?

She was I believe (could be wrong), the only Supreme Court Justice (from the left) that defended Kavanaugh and thought he was decent and well-thought. She certainly did not mind sticking her neck out to be unpopular on either side when it came to personal views. But, that is not super relevant, I don't think that you can name one ruling that was political and that she was clearly wrong (as in no reasonable interpretation could come to that and she was starkly alone).

How about a different way. When did she break with the liberal position? NEVER!

She was clearly wrong on the gay marriage ruling. Made law from the bench.

See above. Not to mention her side on Bush v. Gore and not treating all votes as equal in that case.
