The real problem is simple. Obama invited RBG to a private dinner and politely, indirectly asked that she retire. WH influencers were more direct. She refused. Her hubris and arrogance led to this. Given that Roberts sided with the liberals last night we can infer that a liberal 5-4 win would have occurred if RBG had retired and was replaced by a young liberal.
Now Brewer is doing the same shyt. The problem is that liberal Supreme Court justices, who have front row seats to witness conservative judicial activism on the bench, actively ignore it in favor of maintaining their own personal position/power. If Brewer had any dignity he would retire before Thanksgiving. But he won’t.
