In reply to the discussion: Breaking from NBC News re Ruth Bader Ginsberg. [View all]usaf-vet
(6,161 posts)58. Several points re Justice Ginsberg
1. She is a wonderful Supreme Court Justice. Her stands have made America better.
2. Having said that she should have left immediately after Obama was re-elected to his second term. Giving him a chance to fill her seat with a younger justice.
3. I would hope she can stay until the court gets balanced again. But that would remain long shot statistically.
4. Praying she lives to be at least 100. And continues to have a sharp mind.
5. Finally democrats should block all Trump nominees until Merrick Garland gets his hearing and vote. President Obama's SCOTUS seat was stolen by McConnell and the GOP.

I kind of suspected that, otherwise she would have retired two or three years ago. Great news!

If you didn't mean to scare anybody, they you should have included it in the title.
