Dunno if you’re aware, but for anyone that isn’t: Obama tried asking her to step down during his term so that he could nominate a replacement. She refused.
I’d like that too, the reality though is that she is the deciding vote on the judiciary committee right now and if she steps down the republicans will refuse to seat a replacement halting any confirmations… So right now they feel like they have to Weekend at Bernies her in order to keep confirming judges. Politics sucks.
I just wish she would make the intelligent move of resigning.
Or that she would have stepped down after her last term. Or an earlier one.
RBG should have had the foresight to do this as well. It’s a sad state of affairs we’re in.
RBG really shat on her legacy with that bullshit. At the end, she was just a power hungry narcissist like all the rest.
Just a guess, but maybe they were riding out the 2020 election to wait for Biden to potentially be able to fill that slot?
But she was too old 20 years prior IMO and should have stepped down long before, same with all older politicians.
