They really only do it to extend a person's life (months), at the cost of their quality of life; a cure at that point is deemed unrealistic. They are really going to try and keep her on the bench until she dies... I wonder if she refused to step down under Obama, (when her Cancer was first diagnosed) because she wanted Hilary to choose her replacement. ? Edited August 26, 2019 by unbillievable

Doc Brown Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 On 8/23/2019 at 6:19 PM, whatdrought said: From a purely neautral stand point, as far as partisanship and the court goes, she made a terrible miss-calculation by not retiring during the Obama admin. The reward for the idiocy that everyone assumed Hillary was a shoe in is going to be paid in full if she passes or has to step down and Trump is given another seat to fill. Her problem was more ego as she wasn't convinced Obama couldn't successfully appoint somebody as liberal as her. Here's what she had to say in September of 2014 when the filibuster was still in place. She's of the mindset that McConnell's shenanigans forced Reid to end the federal judge filibuster. If I resign any time this year, he could not successfully appoint anyone I would like to see in the court. [The Senate Republicans] took off the filibuster for lower federal court appointments, but it remains for this court. So anybody who thinks that if I step down, Obama could appoint someone like me, they’re misguided. 2

Which is why they were made as lifetime appointments. The move to limit terms will make the court even more political.

That was before the Tea Party infiltration in Congress though then they got Sotomayer through and the Dems had the supermajority (for the most part) in the Senate. Ginsburg beat cancer in '99 and again in '09 when they caught the cancer in the early stages. Being only 75 at the time I can see why she wasn't ready to retire and also didn't see the Tea Party coming.
