From trevors couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with trevor noah. Trevor right now, the only news america is talking about is the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Aka the notorious r. B. G. As im sure you know, the Iconic Supreme Court justice died over the weekend at the age of 87. A little bit later on in the show, we will talk about her life and legacy. But first we have to start with the allout war brewing over her reblame it because you may remember that when Justice Antonin Scalia died nine months before the 2016 election and president obama tried to replace him with merrick garland, Mitch Mcconnell and the g. O. P. Blocked it, and their reasoning was a Supreme Court vacancy so close to an election should be held for the next president so that the people can decide. Well, you might want to s. A. T. Down for this one because, guess what theyre saying now . President donald trump and his republican allies are forging
During an election year. Then its like, asterisk, that rule doesnt apply when we have the white house. Dont be shocked when Mitch Mcconnell says, how come the Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment but our great president is not. You guys feel me . Speaking of lifetime appointments, i cant believe donald j. Trump, people, gets to name three justices to the Supreme Court. The guy cant even name three branches of government but he gets to name three justices who serve for life this is the same guy who has fired everyone he hired because of how bad he is at hiring people for life trump cant even pick his own partner for life but he gets to do it for america . This country is rock and roll. I dont think anybodys surprised Senate Republicans said one thing when obama was president an another thing when its trump. I mean, you cant even call them inconsistent, you know. Doing whatever it takes to get his way is the one consistent principle that Mitch Mcconnell lives by. Its that and eating b

Tonight is once again at the center of a monumental battle, the president ial election. President trump says tonight he will appoint a woman to replace Justice Ginsburg and he will do it by saturday, just a week after the 87 year old liberal heroine died. He said he will confirm the choice by the end of the year and democrats are vowing to stop that arguing voters should pick the next president who will then fill the seat. Not since Abraham Lincoln has there been a Supreme Court vacancy so close to an election. And what happens in the coming weeks will have sweeping consequences for the court and the country, possibly cementing a conservative majority for decades. For the women we met on the steps of the court today the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is also deeply personal. The outpouring for the woman know as the notorious r. B. G. From the women she inspired has been both emotional and heartfelt. And later this week justice at the u. S. Ginsburg will lie in repose at the court before l
