I suspect that RBG is trying to hold on until next years when the phony BIDEN rule takes effect.
It is a rule without teeth, and from what I can see, has no merits. We as conservatives, can invoke it if we wish, or not, because there is really nothing there. Just because we used it once to our advantage does not mean we shouldn't ignore it when it stands in our way.
That my dear is an Alinsky.
Use it.

Biden rule doesn’t apply. The Democrats are not in control of the Senate.
Will the R’s have the stones to replace her in an election year?
"RBG trying to hold on" means keeping her body on ice long enough...
Biden Rule doesn’t apply. This was created to avoid a nomination in the height of political season. The media is now making “political season” every day with their daily anti-Trump fake news and activism, so the arbitrary gentlemen’s rule is out the window, thanks to the media war on Trump.
I hope Ann Coulter is nominated for RBG’s spot so that a bunch of leftists have strokes and heart attacks to join Ruth Buzzy in the grave.

Thats my take also. It applies when the President and the Senate Majority are in DIFFERENT parties.
I expect her to be gone by the end of February at the latest. She is nothing more than a placeholder.
I think they should demand that she show up IN PERSON for rulings. Nothing would surprise me that the Demorats would have her “vote” from her grave.
Let’s not forget, Obama was in his 2nd term, not his first.
I’d like to know what drugs she takes while she’s working.
I expect her to stay until she dies. It’s the only thing that makes sense. It’s political. If it weren’t motivated by politics she’d have been long gone by now. She’s waiting for a Democrat.
Know anyone else who’s only missed one day of work in 25 years?
only applies when we want it to apply
It’s a well-known fact that leftists are capable of voting after their death.
Where do the words Biden Rule appear in the Constitution?

Same page that says the Second Amendment only applies to hunting rifles and that abortion is a right.

How many days of work are there in the year? IE how many days does the court sit.
