Pray she doesn’t resign until after Trump takes office.

She wouldn’t get replaced any more than Scalia will. If she resigns, the court will just be down to seven until after the inauguration.

Why? The Senate already isn’t having hearings to replace Scalia.

Let her resign just before the term begins in October, so her influence is zero.

Considering what has happened to OTHER people who have picked fights with The Donald in the past, it has been most unwise of Ruth Buzzi-Bader Ginsburg to have launched an attack. And particularly so deep into the election season. People remember these things when the polls open up, and while some few would still applaud the aged Justice for her "bravery" in taking a shot at the Donald, those people were never going to vote for The Donald anyway.

The big shift comes in the amorphous and largely fickle "middle", that swath of "unaffiliated" voters that the Republican party has been saying for years they must attract for any chance of victory in the Presidential race.

The fact is, The Donald has drawn them in, at a record pace, and may even have won over enough of overcome the deficit of Republican voters he may have lost by his strong invective, attacking the Establishment Republicans, who have been the greatest cheerleaders for the status quo and permanent minority position of the legislative branch since the ascent of the Bush years (41 AND 43).

And should she resign prematurely (or die, it is a break-even bet either way), that restores the proper balance to the court, and there is STILL no requirement that any nominee by the Current Occupant be seated, especially not in the name of "fairness". Fair does not apply when you are dealing with liberals, as they would never reciprocate.
