    Of course. I'd say we send her flowers but let's be honest with ourselves. She would probably prefer weights instead.

    I don't fully agree.. being nominated by a president and approved by congress goves her the right to serve until she dies.

    I don't admire her for her service to the country think she has. It is my opinion that it is impossible for anyone with a left leaning agenda to serve the country as the left wing agenda harms the country.

    She has certainly been committed and worked hard though and those are admirable qualities.

    So the tactics used to control the courts don’t matter as long as one party “wins”. Even when they violate norms?

    I guess that makes sense, we see the same “win by any means” in state gerrymandering and election interference.
    So this is the new norm.

    and we all know what will happen if trump is re-elected - another four years of ginsberg mumbling incoherently. if a republican were elected after a trump second term, then we'd have another four years of ginsberg's husk being wheeled in like captain pike, one beep for yes and two beeps for no. if that succeeding republican is elected to a second term i'm sure we'd see ginsberg's corpse being operated like a marionette by whatever brain-dead social justice warrior is running the dnc by then.

    even the progressive drones know that she should have retired years ago. if clinton had beaten trump she'd be sitting in a rocking chair right now, but she's a partisan hack and will continue trying to legislate from the bench until she's sure her brand of lunacy will continue after she's gone. .

    Our High Court (the equivalent of your SCOTUS) has a mandatory retirement age of 70 years. Gone at 70. I reckon that is about right.

    How long has it been since she was seen on the bench, more than very briefly?

    Biden looks and acts like a bad wax museum likeness of himself. Why would people go back to the Obama days of stagnant malaise, when Trump pulled us out of it once, he can do it again.

    Well since our Constitution the senate adviced and concerned to judicial pics...so not sure how that’s a new norm. Which norms have been violated and when?

    If course you do now, and did then, and always will. What a lovely motto: if you cant win fair, cheat the system.

    But it isn't "totally" politicised. Ginsburg and Scalia were close personal friends (a lesson there for all of us here), and they occasionally voted together to throw out cases of police overreach.

    Obviously the justices are ideologically similar to the presidents who appoint them --otherwise they wouldn't be appointed (!) -- but that's not "politics" -- it's just a shared way of looking at the constitution. If it were otherwise, the solicitor general would win every case. He doesn't.

    Sooooo you are complaining because the SCOTUS may not favor the left and you think it should be adjusted until it suits your political beliefs?
