The Democrats shot their wad over this nomination. What are they going to do when President Trump nominates a replacement for Ginsberg?
She is 85, time is not on her side.
One of the things that surprises me is why she did not retire when Democrats controlled both the White House and Congress.

Now if she dies leading up to the next Presidential election there may be calls to wait until after the election but I say why? If the Republicans have the votes then they should replace her when they have the chance.
