27. Welcome to DU, Sophiedillo.

There is the hindsight-and-20/20-vision thing in operation here.

I'm with sheshe and others here who will not bash Ruth Bader Ginsburg or point the finger of blame on her. She served with honor and distinction, and towers over the history of the Supreme Court - now AND forevermore amen. Even in death.

We saw with what the CONS did to President Obama and his nominee, Merrick Garland. Does ANYONE think that Ol' Moscow and his merry band of trumpets would have been fair regarding her replacement back then? They did everything imaginable to hobble President Obama. To make his life miserable. To stand in his way. To keep him from getting more accomplished. And even now they're trying to undo his legacy and everything he DID get accomplished for the public good. Like the ACA, as only one example.

Do NOT put this on RBG. With all due respect, she didn't have a crystal ball to divine the the future any more than you do.
