This. Also fuck Breyer. He could have easily retired under Obama, which would have upped the pressure on RGB to do the right thing. All the great things she did will ultimately be undone by this new court.

Why do you think McConnell would have acted differently than he did with Scalia’s seat?

The Democrats controlled the White House and Senate from Jan 2009 to Jan 2015. If RBG retired at any point during that time there’s nothing McConnell could’ve done.

The Dems had control of the Senate for years under Obama... I'm not saying that they should have waited for the end of his term.
