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.

And it’ll be Bernie Sanders’ and his tankie Palestinian supporters’ fault

Do wonder what excuse mitch would use this time to not appointment a replacement before the election

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

Or Manchin, fuck could see Fetterman too if they aren't pro Israel enough

Fetterman will be the new rotating villain after Manchin retires

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.

Come on this is way too on the nose. They're trolling us.

simply win every election until 2054 so the dems will get a one vote margin on the supreme court, then real change can start!

If you're the Democrats, you win some and you lose some and you lose some more and you lose some more...

Time for our rulers to roll the dice on our cabal of boring wizards again! Hope it doesn't result in misery for millions.

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.
