Justice Ginsberg is not retiring, will she be the reason Conservatives will get a solid SC majority?

If she stepped down now, Obama could appoint her replacement. Although she is risking a republican winning and replacing her (she's 80yo)..With a conservative creating a solid conservative SC for possibly decades..

Scalia, Alito, Thomas, Roberts, ?

Is Ginsberg making a mistake?

    I'll be glad to see Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg go.

    I think President Bachmann and her majority Court could get rid of unconstitutional legislation like Roe v. Wade and ObamaCare.

    I have heard the arguments in favor of Ruth falling on her sword for the sake of cynicism.

    But, in the end, I believe the electorate will realize the 2012 Election is a lot about the Supremes.

    In fact, President Obama is banking on it.

    The main reason Obama needs to be reelected is the Supreme Court, where both Kennedy and Ginsberg are likely to retire within the next presidential term.

    See Citizens United and read SCOTUS history to understand how right wingers on the Supreme Court have enabled multinational banksters and corporations to buy off our elected “representatives.”

    A little tid bit about Ruth. She was confirmed by every single Republican senator, except 3 holdouts. ALL but 3. When I saw that, my jaw dropped in utter disbelief, but it's true.

    I think she should stay on. If she can keep going for at least one year, maybe two.... There is a good chance we can get a Conservative into that seat.

    No she's doing what she's supposed to do, there is no guarantee that they will approve a liberal justice should she leave.

    She could just as easily leave in Obama's next term, and one of those conservatives could also choose to leave, or be forced to due to his excessive support of conservative politics in what is supposed to be an apolitical job once you get it. Thomas is pushing it with his advocacy of right wing causes.

    If obama loses the election, one assumes she would be pressured to retire, but the Republicans would then try to hold up confirmation of her replacement.

    the question is irrelevant:

    if she dies during President Obama's second term,

    he will elect a sane justice

    She is the wackiest justice on the court.
