I bet the author is not a happy camper. I did not realize the number of articles from the Left that asked Associate Justice Ginsburg to consider retirement while President Obama was in office.

Some libs have turned on her for not retiring during Obama’s reign. We should encourage that.

Anything that makes the left unhappy, makes me happy!

Obama refused to go to Scalia’s funeral.

There was one day this summer where newspapers had many pages of obituaries and it was blamed on Covid yet the number of deaths that occur in a year (all causes) has not spiked.

I loathe the yellow journalist press.

I’ve read different explanations of why RBG refused to retire, even though she has fall and broken bones twice, and has battle cancer, for the last 10 years. They range from feminism (no one told men like Breyer to retire, or she wanted Hillary to pick her replacement), to politics (she wanted a choice of her replacement) to pure arrogance (its my job for life!)

Anyway, they all have to do with her ideological possession or or own arrogance.

>>Obama refused to go to Scalia’s funeral.

It would have been awkward since Obama ordered Scalia’s murder in the first place.

Interesting, Obola not risking any type of assassination whispers on their job in the dead of the night.

MO? Use NSA database to pick the time and place. How many murders is the Obola crew responsible for.

Such a deliberate personal insult by Obama against the Constitution.

And yet Trump “was forbidden” from going to the recent black democrats’ funeral - because of THE family’s expressed personal hatred for Trump. At RBG’s coronation (er, funeral pyre) Trump will be attacked non-stop if he attends, if he declines.

In the past 4 years (2016 (before the election->today) how many hours was she actually reading the papers and hearing arguments in the Court?

They have few hours public compared to hours of “prep” - but how many times in every month when the Court was actually in session was she even present?

We know her decisions were “by paper” several times - was she even lucid enough to read and consider her “written” opinions? Or was she staff-work since 2016-2017?

Will this be on major television networks like Welstone’s Democrat rally?

Most USSC opinions are written by staffers, and there’s a long history of incapable or just disinterested justices handing off everything to staff.

RBG totally miscalculated by not retiring under the magic negro era.

Yes. Claiming Ruthie was able to handle the job is being rerun as Joe being able to handle the job, and most Dem voters believe both.
