So if Trump wins America is suppose to wait 4 years to replace her?

Just shows how selfish and self centered the bitch was!

It's been noted that her failure to retire midway through the Obama Administration was a result of selfishness and stupidity that ultimately was hubris for the cause of judicial illiberalism.

KEEPING HER ON THE COURT FOR POLITICAL REASONS WAS ELDER ABUSE

Ruth Bader Ginsburg screwed over DEMOCRATS by refusing to retire during the Obama administration.

Leftists had a Chernobyl-like meltdown over her death.

They freaked out over Mitch McConnell’s vow to hold a vote on the SCOTUS nominee should President Trump bring one forward.

Many just want (someone else) to start burning things down. Yes, the default action the Left takes when they get upset.

You were warned, but her ego wouldn't let her retire when she should have. You deified her anyway, enabling her, and now you are going to pay the price.

"Notorious RBG" made a serious miscalculation by not retiring during the Obama years.

If she had, there probably would be a much younger jurist holding the line for the left wing of the Supreme Court right now.

That didn’t happen, and for all these leftists who are going ballistic—this battle was really RBG’s choosing.

I think she, like many, thought Hillary would win the 2016 election.

Instead, Trump won in arguably the biggest political upset of all time, certainly within the last generation, and she got stuck.

It’s an unpopular opinion in leftist circles for sure, maybe more agree but keep it to themselves.

Still, the meltdown is popcorn worthy.

It was self evident to all but the most wilfully ignorant that she was incapable of performing her duties, that was not selflessness. It was supreme arrogance hoping to delay the appointment process until after the election to preserve her legacy.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an egomaniac who should have retired years ago.

A DODDERING OLD FOOL IN LOVE WITH HER OWN MYTH

Fans defended her choice not to retire under President Obama. Now it's too late.


On the Basis of Sex, a feature film on Ruth Bader Ginsburg, rolled out in theaters nationwide last Christmas Day.

With Felicity Jones’ portrayal of Ginsburg as a hot, young ACLU lawyer, the canonization of “Notorious RGB” was officially complete.

The 85-year-old justice’s celebrity status as a badass feminist was never higher.

CNN, which earlier this year produced a Ginsburg documentary titled RBG, has declared her the “face of the resistance” against President Donald Trump, and a new Ginsburg biography was published in October to coincide with the 25th anniversary of her confirmation.

A retail store opened recently in Washington, DC, stocked almost exclusively with RBG merch: yoga mats, water bottles, T-shirts, action figures, magnets, and pins designed to look like Ginsburg’s lace “dissent collar.”

But no amount of swag or hagiography can obscure the fact that her legacy was sorely tarnished by refusing to retire when President Barack Obama could have named her replacement.

Irin Carmon, a co-author of Ginsburg fan-book The Notorious RBG who is as responsible as anyone else for the Cult of Ginsburg, encouraged devotees: Their heroine is resilient, indestructible even, Carmon insisted. Ginsburg survived cancer—twice! “I am not RBG’s doctor, but I am one of her biographers, here to testify to her resilience,” Carmon wrote.

To reinforce her point, Carmon interviewed Bryant Johnson, Ginsburg’s longtime personal trainer, who said, “To all the stressed-out people in America, remember that the justice is TAN. Now, I always use that acronym: TAN. She’s tough as nails".

But Carmon and others who’ve helped turn Ginsburg into a pop-culture icon deluded themselves. Ginsburg was a mere mortal.

The actuarial table was not in her favor.

Ginsburg did not outlast the Trump administration or live long enough for a DEMOCRAT to replace her. The situation today is one many feared years ago and worked hard to avert. But the justice rebuffed them all, a decision that makes all the hero worship hard to stomach.

The calls for Ginsburg to step down began in 2011 when Randall Kennedy, a Harvard law professor and former clerk to the late Thurgood Marshall, wrote a piece in The New Republic gently urging Ginsburg, then 78, to retire while Obama was in office. (He had suggested the same of Justice Stephen Breyer.)

Kennedy was publicly airing private concerns among DEMOCRATS that it could be Ginsburg’s last chance to be replaced by a DEMOCRAT.

He wrote, “Service comes in many forms, including making way for others.”

Ginsburg declined the advice.

After Obama’s 2012 reelection, the Ginsburg retirement calls came with a new urgency.

In December 2013, the National Journal ran a piece titled, Justice Ginsburg: Resign Already!, in which writer James Oliphant observed that the passage of Obamacare would likely hand Senate control to the Republicans in 2014, thus preventing Obama from naming a Ginsburg successor.

His concerns were echoed by prominent left-wing legal scholars, notably Erwin Chemerinsky, now dean of the University of California-Berkeley law school, who wrote in early 2014 in the Los Angeles Times, “I do not minimize how hard it will be for Justice Ginsburg to step down from a job that she loves. But the best way for her to advance all the things she has spent her life working for is to ensure that a DEMOCRAT president picks her successor.”

In response to the retirement calls, Ginsburg gave an interview to the New York Times’ Adam Liptak laying out the reasons she planned to ignore them.

“There will be a president after this one,” she said. Ginsburg added that she planned to keep working. The only evidence she could see that she’d slowed down by her age, she said, was that she’d given up water-skiing and horseback riding.

In retrospect, it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that the making of Notorious RBG happened at a time when many were begging her to step down.

The canonization began in 2013, after Ginsburg issued a dissent in Shelby County v. Holder.

Inspired, New York University law student Shana Knizhnik launched a “Notorious R.B.G” Tumblr. The meme took off and ultimately led to a 2015 book, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which Knizhnik co-authored with fellow fangirl Carmon, then an MSNBC reporter.

Ginsburg has since been tattooed on women’s bodies, immortalized in song and a children’s book, and featured on SNL.

She had her face plastered on everything from tote bags to water bottles.

This merchandising could not have happened without the justice’s blessing; the law gave her a fair amount of control over the use of her image, as she well knew.

here we go. I dont think its brought up enough that this is happening because Ginsburg was a selfish cunt. Now God in his infinite wisdom has given Trump the pick.

Its hilarious they didnt just weekend at bernies here though. It was only a couple of months.

Man, could OP be more clueless? After the election of the new president, dingus, the same as McConnell decreed. How brain dead biased are you to be able to warp so much? Or are you actually that dumb?

Back up. Quid Pro Joe wanted there to be no nominations during election year 1992, but supported one during election year 2016.

Just like #BelieveAllWomen, it was nothing more than hypocrisy. Every Dem who votes for Biden following that hashtag will be a hypocrite.

That's rich coming from you. Biden says it, bad. McConnell says it, good. The hypocrisy is blatant.

Hypocrisy is rife in Washington on both sides, surely you must know that?

Biden said it first. He created the standard, and his supporters should be expected to adhere to it. Instead, there are now videos playing then vs now clips of Dems from 2016 and 2020 opining on the topic of judicial nominations.

[Hawkeye10]

I loved Tuckers spin on this tonight, something to the effect "They are probably lying, surely she did not suck enough to say what they say she said".

PERFECT

What would be the excuse if the Dem candidate was Bernie or someone else? Repugs would still try to rush through the appointment, they'd just have to find someone else to use as a deflection from trump's and McConnell's sleaziness.
