She put herself and her wishes over the requirements and duties of the office she held. There is nothing admirable about that.

That's baloney.
Everyone considers multiple factors when deciding to retire. Many are in positions where your replacement is one of the primary factors to consider.

I don't fault her for doing it but it was certainly a risk given her age and health conditions. It was a gamble that lost (likely).

No one felt the pain of that more than her. That's an added layer of sadness and why so many hoped she would live until the next administration. Trumpism represents everything she spent her life fighting against. Same with John Lewis.

So you are in the group that found Trumpism worthwhile and appropriate. No problem. I'm not in that group. Nor is the majority...and certainly not history.

I don't have any insecurities that would cause me to feel a need to be with the majority and I think it's a rare thing where you and I would ever be in the same "group"

Her position was not one of those. A justice has no say in their replacement nor should they care who replaces them.

If we're just throwing out assertions then let's go ahead and add plenty of other old, selfish people running our government to the same list. Let's start at the very top.

I'm with you on that, there needs to be an upper age limit just like there is a lower one for political office and federal judges should be limited to 12 year terms.

Yeah Trump is out stepping all over civil rights and rolling back opportunities for women.

You just pointed out why she should not have been in that office.

You know that is absolute nonsense.

Just in case there's any question whether Trump's SCOTUS stuffing will backfire...

Then I guess Biden will win in a landslide, and all your trials soon be over ... unless something has to go to the SC for resolution. The 9th circus is not doing your job as well as it had been either. You think your side will have learned a lesson since the last time they held everything, overplayed the hand (elections have consequences), embittered more than they pleased, and lost the totalitarian game?

I'm a little undecided on a few things - like whether the GOP should start the Ukraine investigations before or after the inauguration. Biden's been in politics longer than Trump, so he and Kammy may understand they have to burn the DOJ down to save it - and themselves. I guess that means kick it off first, so Biden and Harris would look cynical if they started firing people before the investigation was over. My real wish in all this would be that Trump taught the GOP about fighting fire with fire and they continue playing your game against you. Then perhaps in time both parties could learn about everything in moderation.

it's a genetic lottery. some people are fully cognitive well into their 90s and others have alzheimer's at a young age. age limit isn't really appropriate but people should be evaluating candidates for signs of dementia.

Quoting Obama again, huh. Elections have consequences. How to be an ass and loose all that you won 101.
