but my internal rebuttal is "if she was just trying to make it into a democrat presidency, wasn't it kind of selfish of her not to retire 4 or 5 years ago under obama?"
i suspect she believed that President Trump would lose to hillary and that hillary would be able to pick er replacement. the symbolism of a the first female president picking her replacement may have been important to her ego. obviously President Trump won and became President though, and hillary was defeated, so that never happened.
if.... IF... reports of her "last wish" are true, thats a serious stain on her legacy.
i lose a lot of respect for her if her main concern is in trying to exert dominion over a supreme court seat even after her death. she held that seat for a quarter century... let someone else have a turn. i hate people in privilege who think its all about them rather than we the people. that kind of greed and selfishness represents the worst of our system.
at the risk of pulling a viv here and sounding like a pussy, there are a lot of liberal icons i have disdain for on a personal level... ginsburg wasnt one of them. she had a viewpoint, but conducted herself with class. i do have sympathy for her family/friends tonight.
Partying hard tonight!
Let’s get that nomination process going!
No Garland this round!
