    The Dem’s Greatest Blunder

    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....

    I thought they tried and she refused.

      Obama tried to get her RBG to retire and she refused. She wanted to be the longest serving justice. If trump gets his 3rd justice, he has a chance for 2 more in his 2nd term. I think Breyer is 82 years old. People have to want to retire some time don't they?

          I think someone will retire in the next 4 years so Trump can appoint another Justice that will be there for 30 years or so. If we are lucky maybe 2 will happen.

            RBG didn't. I mean if someone really loves their job, I get they don't want to retire. But I know at 80, I am going to be wanting to do a lot of other things besides work.

              Sometimes things happen a certain way because God sees that It happens a certain way. I really believe this situation has at least an equal chance of being Devine intervention as anything else

                Maybe they don't retire because they really don't "work". They're only in session a few times a year. It's a pretty good gig.

                    Lets see, 80 years old, making $267,000 a year to sit on a bench for 4 months, vote to agree or disagree and let the younger pups write the opinion. Yeah, that's a retirement job I want.

                    I'm the type, though, that would set up endowed scholarships and other philanthropy works.

                            RGB did not want to step down when they asked. She was full of herself. But I do believe that the Democrats thought Hillary was going to win and thats why they didn't push RGB harder.

                              They had it all planned out. This champion of women's rights stepping down under the first female President. The two of them embracing to adoring fans and discussing her replacement.

                              Well that **** didn't happen.
