Separating RBG's ideology and rulings from want of power.

[mpreorder]

Is anyone else disappointed or even pissed that she didn't retire during Obama's term? Seriously, she must have known her chances of surviving 4 more years (or 8!) was slim, and that her death anytime during a republican administration would stack the court with corporate approved justices. Yes, I KNOW she didn't know Hillary (or someone else) would lose, but why take the chance when so much was on the line? Everything she believed in is now in jeopardy.
Further than that, (and something I don't think anyone at the time could have seen), is that her death is adding potential to a real threat of violence in this country between the left and right. Mitch WILL shove thru someone, and how will the right react if Biden expands the court? Or worse, the right will hold their collective nose and turn out to re-elect the orange menace. (And I don't think that will happen, the left is too motivated this trip)

What a fucking mess......

1. A wise gambler plays the cards they're dealt. There's no percentage in if this or if that. I'll miss

RBG and go on from here...

2. I am pissed

But of course we aren’t allowed to say that in here without being attacked.....she should have retired right after the 2012 election

3. I am! I've said this since 2016.
