Probably. Though you never really know.

NO.....I think she has a big ego and she would get bored at home doing nothing. She will die in the court regardless who is President.

RBG may be trying to out last the other two women on the court. They could die from obesity related causes before baby Ruth gives it up. Replacing those two is where the court could really change.

No, she believes she still has alot to offer and wants to pass Justice Holmes record - he lasted until 90. LOL!

She believes that Justice O'Connor retired prematurely to care for her ailing husband and doesn't want to go down the same path...

I can't say her decision is right as I'm in favor of term limits for Justices, they shouldn't be allowed to serve past 70.

It usually only triggers the highly educated.
The deplorables usually recognize it for what it is and don't get petty about it.

Assuming that it was the Framers who put the "you are a SCOTUS judge until you retire, die, or removed from office"-type entry in the Constitution, that is definitely something they should have not added in.

I've questioned the wisdom of that before, myself, but if it applies to one, it applies to all.

As to the original question, I have no idea what she would have done - I've never had the opportunity to ask her. It may be she stays on the job because she loves it. It happens sometimes.
