And if she fails to announce her retirement during 0bummer’s current (and final) term, soon enough to leave time to be confirmed by the Senate, will she have an accident, Chicago style?

I think it’s a little late now. If she announces at the end of the SCOTUS term that she’s retiring, O would nominate a replacement, which would be before a Senate with a D majority, but with many in that majority up for reelection in a few short months. Not sure a real lib would be confirmed. The time to have acted (from the left’s perspective), would have been last year.

Anybody who leaves the court between now and the next administration should NOT be replaced under Obama. Let the liberals whine.
