Sandra Day O'Connor passed on.
She was the first person with a double XX chromosome confirmed to the US Supreme Court.
Surprisingly, she was not submitted to the seat by a Democrat.
Ronald Fucking Reagan? The Ur-Conservative President? BWAH?
She also retired at an appropriate age. That marks her as a Republican, Democrats cling to their seats unto death.
Cough cough RBG.
I cannot verify. Early in the Seditious Gay Kenyan Commie's administration a rumor circulated the RGB was afraid to retire because of who Obama would nominate to replace her.
ReplyDeleteThe accepted story is RBG didn't want to retire in 2015-2016 because she believed Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in for President and wanted her successor to be nominated by a woman. This proved to be a mistake so RBG was clinging to her seat until after the 2020 election, which also didn't work out.
