RBG is one of the greatest travesties in recent American political history. She was already old as hell when Obama was in office and there was a perfect time to get her to retire and appoint a younger justice. Her ego wouldn’t allow it because she saw herself as the greatest living supreme court justice and that nobody could ever hope to fill her shoes as long as she was alive. And then her smug ass fucking died and we had to suffer the consequences of her choices. Obama should have been like “get your fucking geriatric ass off the bench and onto a beach somewhere. Fuck off; you’re done.” But he was too busy ordering drone strikes on Afghan weddings to do that. Or too much of a coward to risk pissing off a justice.
