Totally agree. Probably couldn’t have managed it when they had 59 Democrats in the Senate, either.

She is a great woman, who other women should look up to. I agree with her; and, wish her many more years of a long and productive life.

And that’s assuming he’d want to nominate someone as progressive as her. I’m not so sure he would.

Translation: “Today’s Dems are spineless fucking pussies and simpering pushovers and the GOP/Teatroll radicalization festival that’s taken place over the past 6 years, coupled with their electoral procedure games, voter suppression and gerrymandering, has turned this into a minority-rules government.”
Ole Ginsy has more balls than the whole lot of 'em.

Probably wants to reward the Clintons for nominating her to the Court.
It’s a risky maneuver to place all your money only on win in 2017 and chance losing it all. Smarter money would bet on win, place or show in 2015.

If I resign any time this year, he could not successfully appoint anyone I would like to see in the court.
It would have been nice to know who she would like to see appointed in her place. Journalists…

And there it is for us all to understand and agree with.
I wish you the very best of health Justice Ginsberg. Barring an unimaginable disaster or armed Tealiban insurrection our next POTUS will be able to appoint and see confirmed someone worthy of your approval.

If the “loyal opposition” takes control of the Senate, President Obama won’t be able to appoint anyone to the Supreme Court for the rest of his term.

Can’t be. All I hear about is how the Dems are doing the best they can in an impossible situation!
Not a bad point. Instead let’s see what we can do about fixing it so she lives forever…

Yes, but if the Senate went Democratic, Reid could institute a bigger filibuster ban, and yes, he could.

Um, did she just diss Kagan and Sotomayor?

In 2017, he won’t have to. Dems should easily have over 60 seats by then. She is betting on that, though it seems doubtful that any Dem candidates would necessarily pick a very progressive justice. Or even if Obama would for that matter.

LOL. She is whipping out her liberalism and laying it on the table for them to measure theirs against most definitely.

“Someone like me”.
Translated : someone who isn’t a right wing lunatic. That’s the only person you could get through the GOP these days.

She’s right. Whether she leaves the court while Obama’s still president, or someone else does, who can Obama pick who has any chance of getting through the Senate? How likely is it that the GOP, if they take the Senate, would demand that they get to pick the next justice? How likely is it that the GOP, even if they don’t take the Senate, would demand they they get to pick the next justice?

What a load of egotistical BS. She can rationalize for not doing the right thing for the country and resigning now all she wants, but who the hell does she think a Republican president would appoint?
