Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Obama couldn’t appoint an acceptable replacement for me (Flashback of veiled, arrogant narcissism)

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says that if she steps down now, President Obama would not be able to appoint an acceptable replacement.

Ginsburg, who reiterated that she has no imminent plans to retire, told Elle that it would be next to impossible for the Senate to confirm a new justice to the court who she would approve of.

"Who do you think President Obama could appoint at this very day, given the boundaries that we have? If I resign any time this year, he could not successfully appoint anyone I would like to see in the court," she said. "[The Senate Republicans] took off the filibuster for lower federal court appointments, but it remains for this court. So anybody who thinks that if I step down, Obama could appoint someone like me, they’re misguided."

Ginsburg, 81, said that she'll "recognize when the time comes" that she cannot do the job "full steam." But, she added, "now I can."

YES Roberts should absolutely be in the liberal column far to many people here keep looking at this justice as conservative just because he was put in by Bush NOTHING could be further from the truth!! The sooner everyone realizes he IS a liberal justice the sooner the disappointment of his rulings will subside!! NO ONE on this site should be looking at Roberts as a conservative justice NO ONE!!
