I am truly disturbed that so many here are joyous over someone’s death. I don’t care about the politics not being the same as yours.
I won’t say that I am joyous about an actual death, but I am more relieved that we can now move forward on a replacing someone that was almost completely non functional.
She could have retired under Obama and he could have replaced her with a liberal judge that was only 4 years ago. She was incredibly frail then... but she didn’t want that.
She wanted to retire under the first female president (Hilary) but that didn’t happen.
She then wanted to outlast Trump.
She knew it was time to retire under Obama, but she was selfish. She was too frail to work anymore at that time. It was ridiculous!
Supreme Court justice should not have life long positions... I don’t care if you are conservative or liberal. We shouldn’t be held hostage by someone who is too frail to do a job, but won’t let go until they die.
Life long position should not mean until your last weak, frail, dying breath, leaves your body due to terminal cancer (in this case) because that’s what you want.
Again, I am not happy that someone is dead, but I am happy that we get to move forward and have a breath of fresh air.... and we could have done that under Obama... but that wasn’t what she wanted.
Now we move forward, with a conservative judge.
