I’ve wondered this for about 8 years now, but with RBG’s death it really highlights this. Why did they not have RBG retire under Obama in order to guarantee he got to name her successor and put another liberal on the bench? He had 8 years to do it, and she was well past her prime and already suffering from many maladies.
Greed...and arrogance that is why. They believed that there was no way Hillary would lose. Why waist a pick in Obama’s tenure when they though they had at least 4 more and maybe 8 more years. So they opted to take the gamble, fully believing the odds were in their favor to let her sit on SCOTUS so that Hillary could select her replacement. Obama had already picked 2, it would be reserved for Hillary as a crowning achievement.
Boy they really blew that one....
