Updates below:
NPR reports that Ginsburg gave a final statement via her granddaughter.

“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”

Oh boy. That will only make what was already going to be a political frenzy into even more of one.

From Lisa Boothe.

Things very much are going to be very much ugly. There is no doubt about that at all.

Chuck didn’t waste any time.

He’s quote Mitch McConnell’s statement from back when Scalia passed away. Already starting the gamesmanship.
More on that here.

Flags lowered at White House.

That’s an official White House account, for the record.

Lotta folks out there to mourn in front of the Supreme Court. Let’s hope that doesn’t turn into something worse.
