Granted, I'm sure she'd prefer to have a Democrat chose her replacement than a Republican. But I'm pretty sure that her remaining on the bench right now is primarily because she wants to keep doing the job regardless of who is president."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

You said Gingrich made compromise a dirty word, when he actually did compromise on a number of important issues. What is missing is any mention of the sins of the Democrats in all this.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostThere is no doubt in my mind that Ginsberg would have retired if Hillary won in order to give Hillary the honor of choosing her replacement.
Rogue06 mentioned that Hillary claimed Ginsburg would be happy in retirement if she won... but would Ginsburg be happy in retirement? There's not much that really waits for her, given her kids are all grown up and her husband died 9 years ago. Heck, she's commented about how the work on the court helped her cope with his death, another reason why I expect she wants to stay on, so she has something to do.
I was curious, so I looked at the list of justices who actually retired from 1980 to present. All justices who retired 1980 or later had a living spouse at the time, except David Souter (who never married), and his resignation by all accounts came from him being sick of Washington and wanting to move back home. It makes sense to want to spend your golden years with your family. That's not really an incentive for someone whose husband isn't alive anymore and all the kids are grown up.
Another reason is that I happened to listen to a podcast about a year ago where someone who spends time actually observing the court--Garrett Epps, for the record--was on it and he was talking about how conspiracy theories about Kennedy's retirement were nonsense, that it was just plain obvious to him watching Kennedy that Kennedy wasn't interested anymore and just retired for that reason. And he mentioned that Ginsburg, in contrast, was energized and interested during the court cases. There's simply not an indication that she's staying on despite a desire to leave.
So the idea that she's only staying on because she doesn't want Trump to chooser her replacement seems to just be a case of people--conservative and liberal--projecting their personal thoughts about the ramifications of her retiring onto her rather than it being based on anything Ginsburg has actually said or done.
