I'm not saying they shouldn't put her out to pasture and replace her with a 35 year-old who will never die but on the other hand she isn't that old. She'll turn 70 this year which is well into retirement age for us working class schlubs, but for a cushy gig like theirs that's no deal. I know Ginsberg refused to retire but RBG was well into her eighties when Obama was still president and she had pancreatic cancer. Unless democrats believe they won't control the presidency or the Senate at any time in the next decade this isn't a big issue. I mean, unless I'm wrong a seventy-something woman dies during a Republican presidency, then it's a huge issue for them.
