Ruth Bader Ginsburg hospitalized for possible infection

[President Johnson]

RBG should have retired in 2013 or 2014.

Yeah, I've said this in every thread since 2017 that had her hospitalized or with other health issues. Hopefully she can go into retirement early next year when Joe Biden is risiding in the White House.

[President Johnson]

Ginsburg didnt retire in 2014, when Obama had the Senate, due to the fact, she expected Hilary to be elected as Prez. That's what Bill Clinton told Ginsburg

She miscalculated . Also, she expected Kennedy to retire and it would have been 6 to 3 Liberal than reversed

90-95% of problems Dems have had over the past 30 years can be directly attributed to Bill and Hillary Clinton. They are such a massive metastatic cancer.

You can't say that, the Clintons saved the Democratic Party in the 1990s from electoral irrelevance, Harkin or Tsongas couldn't have beaten Bush.

Explain.

Democrats weren't electorally irrelevant until 1994.

Not even in 1995, lmao.

Another worry I have and has not been stated above is this:

Biden wins but Republicans keep 51 in Senate. After the election Mitch argues that the nominee should be somebody acceptable to both Biden and Republicans, and they end up choosing somebody right of even Garland.

I suppose this is somewhat parallel to RGB's nomination too since she was on Orrin Hatch's list to Bill Clinton, but people are much more careful in dissecting a nominee's past now.

I don't think there are judges to the right of Garland that would be acceptable to Biden, & I don't think even Garland would be acceptable to Biden anymore considering his age, but a judge to the right of RBG wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing given, for example, Kagan replacing John Paul Stevens wasn't the end of the world.

In this case, I could see Mitch getting pressure from Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski and/or Susan Collins (if she survives) to allow Biden a more liberal pick since the overall court ballance isn't affected by the pick (liberal replacing liberal). In case the election actually ends with 51 senate Republicans, I'd still hope Murkowski switches to Independent caucusing with the Democrats. I mean, she has little chance to get reelected as a Republican in 2022 anyway.
