I don't think she'd have retired at this point even if Hillary had won the election. Although, the fact that this so-called "strategic retirement" is actually a concept is a bit of a problem. I don't know exactly of how to fix it, but it is a bit off that it's even a thing to begin with.
    After Bork, it was sort of inevitable IMO.

      I think there is something going on that we don't know about.

      Trump White House urging allies to prepare for possible RBG departure

      After an ailing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg missed oral arguments, the Trump team began early groundwork for another potential confirmation battle.

        Eh... an anonymously sourced story most likely based on speculation, though it's probably not unreasonable to think that under the circumstances Trump has been keeping his short-list handy.

            They might not know anything more than what everyone else does but are simply making common sense preparations.

              Start barricading your doors and windows. The liberals would start foaming at the mouth if that happened.

                Well, Trump will most likely be in jail, or pardoned for treason, so I don't think we have to worry too much about that. Let's just hope Sparky, that she can hold on until that happens. Or would you rather the courts be packed by a crooked wannabe dictator?

                      For versimilitude, you need at least one spelling error in there somewhere.

                        Hillary's not POTUS.
                        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                          No Jimmy, Hillary didn't win the election, Trump did.
