Right but not relevant here… RBG not stepping down under obama is indeed a miscalculation. Honestly I think she may have been intending to do it right after garland got his hearing… before learning that wasn’t on the table.
But anyway, ignoring that… with regards to a senator I don’t get the concept. While not perfect I’d still have to call warren in the top 5 senators (yeah I know, stupidly low bar because most the senators suck, but there’s a lot more reason to fear her successor being worse than expecting her to be better. and unless the main fear is elections will not happen again, but sitting senators will keep their positions until they die. There’s no reason to think there’s a difference in her retiring now, or in 10 years from now.
RBG not stepping down was a huge problem and let Trump pick a justice.
