...That Roberts is still letting her make decisions on cases says, to me, that she’s still coherent enough that he’s allowing her staff to continue advising her and letting her feel she’s still alright and part of the bench. But the rumors that DJT is looking at possible replacements right now makes me wonder if Trump AND Roberts know her potential retirement date is mid March.


Well, I think the grim reaper will come a callin’ or maybe already has? But I sure wouldn’t be apposed to a mid-Ides of March replacement of RGB if that’s the way it works out.

So what if this happens: Trump goes to the podium tonight, and says, "Good evening. I have come to talk about a serious matter." (And the Dems are all fired up to rebuke his statement on the wall, mean Orange Man, etc.)

"I have in my hand Justice Ginsburg's resignation. I have accepted it, and here is my nomination for her seat." And then he announces it.

That would take the border off the news cycle, if that's what he wants, and he could use military funding, personnel, etc., while they are focused on stopping his nomination.
