They didn't play it right. Ruth should have retired while Obama was in Office....simple as that.

Hillary should have run as Obama's VP. She would have been a shoe in after his 8 years.

The Dems had the cards for both of these to happen. Mistakes that changed the course of events. Thank God.

It is strange how things work out. Consider Justice Kennedy...he was the third choice after Bork. Many people were peeved that Bork never made it to the court. But Bork died on December 12, 2012. Thus, had we gotten Bork, we'd also have had an Obama replacement for him vs a Trump replacement for Kennedy.

Parenthetically, I thought Bork was a closet statist, and maybe he wouldn't have sided with the majority in Heller. If so, then not only would a SCOTUS Bork have been replaced by Obama, but perhaps he'd have gutted the palladium of the liberties of our republic.

Do you actually think that, when a person becomes one of nine that can either help or hinder a nation’s policies, or congressional laws, and at the same time, never get fired for a bad decision, have the ultimate Healthcare equal to the president, and make a good six figure salary, for life, with no age limit, that, oh yeah, I’m old now, so I guess I’ll just quit??????

Bork had a brilliant legal mind, but he was dreadful on the 2nd amendment. No better than any of the liberals.
