Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Granddaughter: Ginsburg Didn't Retire Under Obama Because She Wanted a Woman (Hillary) to Name Her Successor

lolololol

The late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg held off on retirement in part because she thought former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 presidential election, Ginsburg’s daughter says.

Ginsburg died on Friday from pancreatic cancer at the age of 87. Many have questioned why she did not step down under former President Barack Obama, especially prior to 2015 when Obama was working with a Democrat-controlled Senate.

Ginsburg continued to sit on the court through 2016 in part because she did not believe President Trump would win the election, Jane told The New York Times.

"I think that Mother, like many others, expected that Hillary Clinton would win the nomination and the presidency, and she wanted the first female president to name her successor," she said in an email. Jane also said her mother never voiced regret over her decision to stay on the court after Trump won.

I'd like to thank the leftwing media and the shill pollsters they hire for delivering this Supreme Court seat to us!

The Huffington Post, with its "98.4% chance of Hillary winning," deserves an MVP award.

Thanks to commenter, aka artisinal 'ette.

By the way: Why are people saying I called filbert "Commenter"? The last post always said "Thanks to filbert," from the first moment it was published.

Meanwhile, while the plebians aren't permitted to arrange funeral ceremonies for their dead, another leftwinger gets a week long of funerals with lots of people in close contact because FUCK YOU SERF.

More: Blonde Morticia notes this, from later in the article:

>>"I was struck by how many people I spoke with, including friends, acquaintances and former clerks, felt she should have resigned at the time and that her staying on was terribly self-centered -- a view I share," Samuels told The New York Times. "I was also struck that normally forceful advocates I spoke with would not express their dismay on the record while she was alive."
