There's two facts they left out. One, not only did we have an election in 2016, nomination of SCOTUS justices was a key campaign issue. It was one of the primary issues that got people out to vote. WE VOTED! Now we need our votes to count!
Two, Ginsburg made her choices, not just personally, but as a SCOTUS judge. Those decisions should be just as final and consequential as any other decision she made as a justice. She could have retired during Obama's term to ensure that the Democrats got to nominate her replacement. We don't know why she did that. Maybe she was making deals with the Clintons, and rested on the assurance that Hillary was going to win. Who knows. She made a decision to extend her term into Trump's presidency. Then she decided to hold on to her position well beyond reason for her age and health clearly trying to out last Trump's presidency. She voted on key issues that should have been made by a Trump replacement. Now, she didn't make it. Voters have had to put up with her unconstitutional rulings for four more years. Enough is enough. She's dead, and Trump is our president. Every Republican in the House and Senate need to pull every favor, use every leverage, make every threat, to get every vote needed to get this job done. We need to throw out every Republican in the House or Senate if they don't get this done by the end of Trump's term.
