Yep...and she's already pushing that envelope...

“.She’ll die in her office before she’s replaced.”
It will take “The Big Sleep” to get rid of her.
Hotair was #NeverTrump even after Erickson left. This has to be one of the dumbest articles ever. Besides the stupid deal that would allow the Dems to hold on to their SCOTUS seat under a Rep President, Trump would be committing political suicide.
Probably correct.
Don’t give an inch to progressives. They will NEVER stop and NEVER surrender. you do not deal with them, you defeat them. You have a simple majority vote now for SCOTUS. Pack it with conservatives.
I have a better “brilliant new plan”.
President Trump should just nominate and add judges on top of the ones already there. Why not?
Just replace Ginsberg while she’s still there.
“It’s actually not totally bad. Garland will never be confirmed”
I am surprised it took over 50 posts for someone to post this. O’Conner’s retirement became effective once a replacement was approved. I doubt whether Ginsburg would have an option to retire until there was an acceptable (to her) replacement.
Not sure I can trust 50 of 52 Republicans to vote down Garland.

All is fairly well. Still working too hard. :) At least the witch is not in the White House. That is a good start for all being well.
Ah, another round of wishful speculation. Poor liberals, life is hard for them these days.
Crazy? President makes the deal that he will name Garland to replace Ginsberg when she retires. Behind the scenes, he gets McConnell to defeat Garland and President Trump goes back to his list with a Conservative replacement.
NO DEAL!!
RBD won’t last long, then Trump can name whomever he wants. Why have even the moral obligation to nominate a Leftist judge (though perhaps not as far Left as RBD, still he’s a Leftist) who could easily last 15-20 years (I believe that he’s 63).
Nope, wait a year or 2 or 3, and then nominate someone who is a strict constructionist who is 45-50, and who’ll last for 30-35 years. No compromise - this is the ONLY way to take back and save our Republic long-term.
There are rumors that Justice Kennedy wants to retire.. If the "swing vote" justice is replaced by a conservative, then Ruth will be on the losing side from that point on, making her reason for hanging on, futile.
Uh...NO!
NOT “brilliant”.
This is a stupid cave to the left!
Dershowitz is the only liberal I could live with on the court. I am certain that he would be fair... He would not push his agenda.
There was strong speculation that Roberts didn't want to piss off Obama, because of certain "irregularities" in the adoption of his two kids. The kids turn 18 next year, eliminating that extortion handle on him.
It’s not brilliant, it’s idiotic.
Stupidity
People have RBG in the Deadpool for years now. She may outlive many of the people who have been planning for the old girls demise
If Ginsburg’s retirement is conditional on ‘confirmation’ of an acceptable replacement, then yes it would be a disastrous proposal.
If Ginsburg’s retirement is conditional on ‘nomination’ of an acceptable replacement, then yes it would be a beneficial proposal.
As for trusting 50 of 52 to vote down, you may have a point except for one thing. The Senate filibuster on-off switch is still controlled by the Senate Majority Leader. It would be doubtful, perhaps risky, but doubtful that 12 GOP Senators would cross over to end a filibuster.
Anyhow, this is a non-serious discussion. What is described will most likely never happen.
