A DEATH BED WISH: NOT HOW SUPREME COURT JUSTICE IS APPOINTED.

ICHEOKU says the constitution is the only guiding template to appointing a Justice of the Supreme Court and at no where did it say that a retiring or dead Justice has an overriding authority in who their successor Justice will be. They were appointed and so were their predecessors and so will be their successors purely in accordance with the constitutional benchmark. The constitution gave the president the power to appoint Supreme Court justices with the advice and consent of the Senate; but did not mention anything about the influence of the vacated Justice in the matter, talkless of it overriding the fundamental laid down roadmap of doing it. 

ICHEOKU says therefore, the Republican Party must not allow themselves to be cowered into not appointing RBG's replacement by the threats and intimidations of the Democratic Party. They are not the only ones that can make threats and intimidations, admitted Republicans have chosen the path of honor and harmony by being the adult in the house. Ruth Bader Ginsburg does not have a right to decide who succeeds her and if she had wanted, would have resigned during Barack Obama's government so that he would have replaced her. She also could have hung in there through the election into 2021 to see if there will be a new president in the White House agreeable to her far leftist political leaning. 

But none of this options were exercised by her, hence leaving to the president the supreme right to do his constitutional duty of appointing Supreme Court Justices. Enough of the chicken little the skies will come down of the Democratic Party as Republicans, especially the MAGA family which is increasingly getting exhausted of their provocations.
