Who do they think they're fooling with that canard?
Who do they think they're fooling with that canard?
Historically, these geezers hold on until they feel so badly they can’t sit at the bench. It’s about power and prestige. Yet the court is handling fewer cases than it did in the past.
Frankly, I hope these two hold on into the next president’s term. Please, please, please...
From the hold on to the last goes for just about everybody in politics. A Democratic governor had been elected and the GOP begged Senator Strom Thurmond who was in his nineties to retire so the outgoing Republican could appoint a Republican replacement. He refused, despite the numerous photos of him asleep and drooling on the Senate floor. He died shortly after the Democrat took control and he, of course, appointed a Democrat. (Power and control. Being a Senator or a Supreme Justice is who they are. To give it up is to die.)

These sorts of things come from the White House. They are written by the twentysomething foot soldiers in the Obama Crime Family and then handed off to the media who turn around and publish it, usually with very few changes. This is how journalism works these days.
The White House sees the handwriting on the wall. They are going to lose the Senate, so they have a very short window to confirm a nomination to the Supreme Court. Too short, I believe. Democrat Senators standing for election this year in Red states are unlikely to vote to confirm an Obama liberal nominee in the run up to the election and there won’t be enough time in the lame duck session to get it done.
I’m personally hoping that she stays true-to-form for a Democrat Politician. Staying there with the notoriety, attention, money and power, butt kissing and dogmatic ideology as long as she possibly can.
They don’t ever go away unless it looks like they’ll be voted out of office (not possible for her), convicted of a crime and imprisoned (again, not possible for her), or they are Gramercy Parked by another Democrat.
In that picture, she is just tying her tennis shoes.
Ginsburg looks like Norman Bates' dead mother.
On the other hand, if she wants anything resembling a replacement who excels at the law, even by liberal standards, she will wait until Obama is gone.
