Time for her to resign.

But, she has too much hate to do what's right.

The Court's tradition is for the Chief Justice to survey the other justices. If the sentiment for retirement of the old or ailing member is strong enough, the Court's newest Justice is delegated to meet with that member and convey the view that retirement should be seriously considered. Usually, retirement ensues without resistance.

For example, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes was so far gone due to age that he had trouble staying awake and frequented Washington's red light district to watch the burlesque shows with mouth agape. When tabloids began to report this, the Court finally acted. Asked to retire, Holmes immediately agreed and expressed surprise that his colleagues had waited to long!

Will RBG yield to a gentle approach? As her allies can be stirred to point out in private, if she can no longer do the job in full, she can be humiliated by leaking the details of her decline and disability, which then become a basis for threatening impeachment based on non-performance of duty.

She should have retired under Obama. She had plenty of opportunity to do so. But she wanted to hold out for Hillary. She wanted the first female president to replace her. Now she’s stuck trying to survive past Trump’s presidency.

But it wouldnt surprise me if she does last. I’ve seen terminally ill people, who have a strong desire to live for something, last far longer than anyone predicted.

Partner, you hit right on the nose on why she will not retire.

We will not waste our time to see this so called movie.
