Ruth Bader Ginsburg passess

[Rajvik]

Geth, i won't say people weren't waiting for it to happen, quite frankly to say such would be a blatant lie. On the other hand, her age, coupled with the times she had gone into the hospital due to cancer concerns over the last decade were, in a way a statement that it was only a matter of time. She was asked during the Obama administration why she didn't go ahead and step down, knowing that with the senate in the hands of the democrats at the time, that she would be replaced by another liberal and she said that she had too many good years ahead of her to do her work. I feel that she fully believed that Hillary was going to win the presidency, and i think that if Hillary had, she would have stepped down probably last year, however, with Trump in the white house and the republicans not just controlling but getting a greater majority in 2018, she probably felt that she couldn't as she was sure they would put another constitutionalist on the court.

again i will say, as much as i disagreed with her politics, i did respect the woman.

Yes Dartz, this IS how Civil Wars start, in fact i will go as far as to say that when history looks back at this, they will probably point to the election of Trump much like they point to the election of Abraham Lincoln as the spark that actually started things. Funny thing is, its the Democrats doing it all over again.
