While she was a horrible ending, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was even worse. Rbgs lifetime of work was eviscerated because she was too selfish to step aside when her time was due.
These people are the epitome of 'you can die a hero or live long enough to become a villain'.
Yeah, at least Feinstein was always guaranteed a Democrat replacement. RBG stayed even after it was known it would be a guaranteed conservative replacement.
Remember when Merritt Garland was supposed to be a Supreme Court justice?
Even if RBG retired under Obama, McConnell would have done the same shit with her replacement.
Now she didn't know that, but it doesn't mean we would have a better court if she had retired sooner.
She could have done it when she was diagnosed with cancer 9 years previously and the Democrats controlled both houses with a supermajority in the Senate and a decade past the standard US retirement age.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Yes, that's what many people said at the time.
