    It is 2013. A girlboss refuses to retire from the supreme court and her seat will be filled by the opposition when she dies after the next election.

    Gonna be hilarious when Trump gets his fourth Supreme Court justice because another liberal refused to retire when a Democrat was president.

        Dems still control the Senate, so McConnell can’t do anything. Sinema could do something though.

      Translation: We need the threat of her death in office to blackmail voters with at least one more 40-year old Federalist Society Judge to dominate the judicial branch for the next generation, just in case Thomas kicks it and Roberts pulls a Souter.

    I’m not saying they shouldn’t put her out to pasture and replace her with a 35 year-old who will never die but on the other hand she isn’t that old. She’ll turn 70 this year which is well into retirement age for us working class schlubs, but for a cushy gig like theirs that’s no deal. I know Ginsberg refused to retire but RBG was well into her eighties when Obama was still president and she had pancreatic cancer. Unless democrats believe they won’t control the presidency or the Senate at any time in the next decade this isn’t a big issue. I mean, unless I’m wrong a seventy-something woman dies during a Republican presidency, then it’s a huge issue for them.
