Twitter is censoring this video because they don't want people to see what most of us know about Trump. He's a good dude.

“I have heard there are some on the Democrat side who would like to increase the number of judges.” Ruth Bader Ginsberg mentioned that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s wanted to stack SCOTUS, and she made clear she thought “it was a bad idea.”
When a similar scenario occurred four years ago after the death of Justice Scalia, the Republican-controlled Senate blocked Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. It was a controversial move, and Ginsburg had something to say about it: Ginsburg publicly called on the Senate to go through with the nomination. “That’s their job,” she said in July 2016. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the President stops being President in his last year.”
“Eight is not a good number for a collegial body that sometimes disagrees,” Ginsburg said on the issue a few months later during an event at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington.
The last time a Supreme Court Justice nominated by a President when the Senate was controlled by the opposite party was 1880. Since then, when a Party controlled the Senate and the Presidency, many justices were nominated and confirmed prior to a Presidential election.

Re: Rbg
Thanks John so they can actually do this if Murkowski is the only no vote, right. Simple majority.
