Okay, I have to defend RBG. If she HAD retired earlier during the Obama administration, why does anyone think Mitch McConnell would have done anything different than what he did when she died? I think she was hanging on because she knew good and well McConnell would find a way to scuttle any Obama replacement in his second term. I suppose a case could be made that she could have retired during Obama’s first term.

Definitely, as did almost everyone. RBG doesn’t deserve the wrath directed at her for delaying her resignation, IMO. How I wish it had turned out differently.
