General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: To Those On The Left Who Think Ruth Bader Ginsburg Should Retire... Go Fuck Yourselves. [View all]NOBODY is suggesting she should retire because she doesn't belong on the bench or is in any way no longer capable of getting the job done or that she just in some way is an inferior judge.
What people ARE suggesting is that human beings (every single last one of them) have an expiration date after which they can't keep doing jobs like this and hers is COMING. This is beyond rational argument. And there is a very real chance that if she doesn;t take steps to choose to initiate her departure at a time she can control then it's going to come at a time when we have an even more strongly GOP House and Senate that will make replacing her with anyone even REMOTELY acceptable completely fucking impossible. Or... even worse, we could have a GOP president picking her replacement.
None of that is a smear on Ginsberg or what she does on the bench.
