RBG has passed away

I had a lot more respect for her before she became outspoken about her fears of a Trump victory in 2016. This is not the place of a judge. The judge should, as was said, call balls and strikes, not condemn the pitcher and catcher. She was out of line, imo, then, and her comment, on her deathbed, confirms that she was still out of line. It makes me wonder if she was just holding onto her position on SCOTUS, knowing her days were limited, hoping that Trump would lose.

My impression is that it was common knowledge -- possibly even declared by herself -- that that was always her intention.

I don't wonder. A one-eyed, tertiary syphilis bum could figure that one out. RBG should have hung it up a couple of years ago.

Murkowsky already said she’s not voting lame duck.
All you need is Collins, Romney, and Alexander and there goes your majority.
Or maybe others. But all you need is 4 and one is already declared.
Only non-witches get due process.

I agree. Romney's a definite "no," and Collins, currently trailing in ME, is probably a "no" as well.
Alexander? I dunno.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Collins says. "No."
Grassley says, "No."
Murkowski (as commented above) says, "No."

It’s done.
Now it’s a turnout issue.
Maybe helps Dems more? Just thinking out loud. The folks on the right that really care already vote in high numbers.
On the left you have young people who don’t vote in droves. At least it seems turnout potential is higher? Again that’s just my intuition.

From the NPR piece.
"Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: 'My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.'"

Let me repeat
A good reminder to us all that there was plenty of time for that.
