The mainstream media seems to have little use for the words of the late Judge Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who opposes the court package that some democratic legislators are now following.
The Democrats of the House and Senate on Thursday announced formal legislation that would increase the number of seats in the Supreme Court to 13 from the traditional nine, which would apparently change a 6-3 Conservative majority bench to a liberal majority of 7-6.
During an interview with NPR in 2019, Ginsburg rejected the idea of expanding the bank, saying that “nine seems to be a good number.”
“If anything would make the court look biased, it would be,” Ginsburg explained. One side says: ‘If we are in power, we will increase the number of judges, so we will have more people who will vote as we please. ‘I am therefore not at all in favor of the solution to what I consider to be a temporary situation. ‘

According to Grabien transcripts, Ginsburg’s comments were completely ignored by CNN, MSNBC, ABC and CBS. NBC briefly mentioned her opposition to the court package during the issue of ‘NBC Nightly News’.
However, the networks took Ginsburg’s words much more seriously during the 2020 presidential election campaign.
Shortly after her death on September 18, NPR reported that Ginsburg had prescribed a statement to her granddaughter in which she said: “My deepest wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”

Ginsburg’s death wish was met with wall – to – wall coverage when President Trump pushed forward with the appointment of the now-judge Amy Coney Barrett.
The media apparently respected Ginsburg’s wish so much that CNN anchor Jake Tapper even pressured a White House official as to whether Trump had ever considered “respecting” the late judge’s request.
