I realize that the Senate is 59-41 in favor of the Republicans, but I do believe that Ruth Bader Ginsburg would be infinitely more difficult to replace than Clarence Thomas. Thomas is a conservative powerhouse whose legacy will continue with his successor, but Ginsburg? Imagine the protests with replacing her. The protests when Amul Thapar replaced O’Connor, who become more liberal leaning in her later years, were something to see. When Miguel Estrada replaced Stevens, it was worse because it was a conservative replacing a liberal icon. When Amy Barrett replaces Kennedy, it was worse than the previous two combined because she was a strong conservative while Kennedy was a moderate who was liberal on social issues. But replacing the liberal deity that is RBG with a conservative? God, I can only imagine...
In order to replace Ginsburg, he must do three things:
- Nominate a woman
- Nominate a moderate
- Nominate someone quiet
