RIP...

Tom Seaver has passed. My first Red Sox game ever I got to watch him pitch at old Comisky.

Saw him live several times once he was traded to the Reds. Saw his no-no against the Cards. Loved to watch him pitch. RIP.

Wow, that’s pretty awesome getting to see his only no hitter. I was like 5 years old when I saw him...don’t remember much but dad still talks about it sometimes.

Hall of Famer and six-time All-Star Lou Brock died today at the age of 81. No cause of death has been given yet, but Brock was diagnosed with cancer and had lost a leg to diabetes in recent years.

Bishop already got it. Eternal rest got unto him, O Lord

Cardinals just so happen to be playing the Cubs on Sunday night baseball.

My grandfather got me an autographed ball from Brock years ago,... still have it in my man cave.

Brock was a hell of a player. RIP Lou.

Diana Rigg passed away yesterday at the age of 82. Her cause of death wasn't announced, but she'd been diagnosed with cancer back in March.

She's best know for having played Emma Peel in The Avengers, Countess Teresa di Vicenzo, the wife of James Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and Olenna Tyrell in Game Of Thrones.

Most people today will only know her as the sharp tounged, elderly Olenna Tyrell from GOT, but she was quite a looker and a major sex symbol back in the 60's.

She was cast so perfectly on GoT, RIP.

She was perfectly cast for The Avengers as well. RIP

RIP to RBG. I’m pretty concerned about the repercussions of the dogfight that is about to occur. If anyone thought the Garland ordeal was bad and then was blown away by the Kavanaugh debacle, they haven’t seen anything yet. I hope to be wrong.

I hope you are wrong too but I doubt it. This is going to show the hypocrisy in our government.

Vote them all Out!

Rest in Peace RBG.

RIP

She was selfish and chose not to retire in 2008. Looks to be one of the worst political decision in decades.

I thought it was immeasurable already. But yes, if it wasn't, it is now. I'm just waiting for aliens to show up now. It's about the only thing that hasn't happened (at least publicly).


And her supposed dying words.

“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” Ginsburg said in parting statement she dictated days before her death Friday, to her granddaughter Clara Spera,

Scripted obviously, and just shows the politicization of the court these days even by the actual judges themselves.

 

[317Irish]

We can take a few things from Canada. I think deep down even she (or Scalia?) would recommend such a thing here in the U.S.

I believe she was asked later in 2015 ish as well.

To be fair, I wouldn't call her selfish. Or at minimum, I think she fully assumed HRC would win in 2016 making it a moot issue anyway. I think she simply felt she had more work to do. I don't agree with her politically, but can't really blame her for not retiring so long as she thought her health did not compromise her ability to work.

If removing politics (which you can't), she should have retired as soon she couldn't carry out her duties, and her health reached a certain point. But that would have been last year some time probably, and wasn't going to happen solely because of the politics.

Just my opinion, and just spit balling... but I think she tried to leave politics out of it in 2008 and 2015 by staying. And then reinserted it fully at the last minute. I'd also bet she would have retired in 2015 had she known HRC would lose, or had she known her health would take a turn. But to be honest, she almost made it to 2020. Tough old bird. Always has been.

Seems to me if Mitch tries to ram a judge through before inauguration. there may be blood in the streets.

Stay classy.

You talk about politics ..... RGB isn’t even in the ground And he just said he is gonna have a vote. Lol. Murkowski says she won’t vote. Fair is fair. I wonder what you all think of that? Should he hold a vote when he held up Garland?

How many GOP will not vote to confirm?

Already Romney and Murkowski a no.

Yeah she was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and it’s pretty odd she didn’t step down when Democrats had a super majority in Obama’s first term. But when they say appointment for life, they mean for life.

Extremely unlikely we'll get a nominee, hearings, and a vote before the election. I'd be surprised if Trump even nominates anyone until after the election.

Uh.... Mitch just said he will have a vote. Trump has already thrown out nominees last week. They no new this was coming. If Trump loses and it’s looking like the Senate is in jeopardy too, they will have a vote before inauguration

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

I’m really interested in y’alls thoughts on Mitch’s hypocrisy.

Merrick Garland was nominated 237 days before the election.

Cack, it’s the political landscape nowadays. It is what it is. I’m more interested in how things will work if it rolls into the lame duck session? Could it potentially come down to the Supreme Court vote if Trump tries to pass it through in December? My mind is a little rusty on what happened when Obama tried to implement an executive order back in 2010.

I can't see a situation to be honest of it not happening. We all know both sides would do the same given the timing and situation. The average time from nomination to Senate vote is 67 days which easily puts it in the window, so not really a "ram". And we all know Trump won't take long to nominate.

The only obstacle is those 2-4 Senators who are always on the fringes. I expect Trump to nominate a female, in an attempt to make it hard on those fringe folks. What also works against the dems, is her faith to an extent, given she'll be buried quickly (likely early next week). Had she been another faith, we'd likely see at least a few weeks of mourning and ceremony, which would have delayed a nomination. Or at least it would have looked bad to nominate prior to a funeral.
