You really can not say this. There was a cult around her who shielded her. We have no idea if she was mentally fit. You have to look at a person’s full career to evaluate it’s worth. In reality RGB decision to stay on eases all her work and locked in a republicans radical majority on the bench for 30-40 years. RGB was a failure. Feinstein will be looked at the same way.[/quote]

Yes, exactly. I, a liberal, view RGB as a massive, generationally spanning screwup because she couldn't step out of the way when she had the chance. I'm bitter about it and always will be. [/quote]

The problem is that the window to replace RBG in order to get someone similar in her seat was in reality shorter than Obama’s 8 years in office.  Senate republicans don’t play fair.  And I think most of us could understand why, at 75, she wasn’t ready to retire yet.  She should have, that’s pretty obvious now, but Obama also should have been able to put Garland forward.

Also, the question is not really whether she was mentally fit until the end (because yeah, we don’t know that) but whether she was capable during the Obama years.  I absolutely think she would have retired if HRC had won the election.[/quote]
