But, when I see how some of you look up to an equally ugly natured man like Trump, that explains a lot.
oh yeah no ugliness from your side at all. give me a break. you had some psychotic deranged woman COMPLETELY MAKE UP false accusations of RAPE about the most recent SC nominee. you have nothing to complain about

no one is calling for her to be forceably removed so your comment is merely a straw man. its not in her health's best interest or the SC's best interest to stay on the bench. but you are right, its her choice.

you can bet we will hear chants of 'Trump killed RBG' when the job kills her. in reality it will be her own party that used her for their own interests. pretty gross.

I think she did that because she thought Hillary would be the next President, and she wanted to have the distinction of creating the vacancy that would allow the first female President to make her first SCOTUS nomination.

That would have been Murdered Scalia. Remember Gorshuch?

To prevent a politician from replacing a justice or other federal judge for his political goals. What is shocking is that we like to think of our justices as neutral but now we see one holding on to her office for her political goal of thwarting the administration in power. So much for neutrality and the comments about a partisan justice of the Supreme Court

What "shocking" is that this is going to be the New Normal for Court Cases to not have a Judge present to hear the case. New Arguments are starting now ... as in Today. She won't be there to either HEAR the Case OR ask any Questions. She can't Judge what she is not present for.

Missing Oral Arguments due to illness is fine ..... the Judge who can't hear the Oral Arguments needs to be Recused from the Case. That's not what they propose ..... she won't hear the Cases, but will still RULE on the cases.

Simple Question .... has ANYBODY ever heard of a High Profile Court Case (which Supreme Court Cases all are by definition) without a Judge being present who RULES on the case????

Of course not ..... she has to either RECUSE ...... OR ...... RESIGN.
Why would the public accept anything but one of these outcomes?
That would be similar to allowing the Dead Judge Scalia Rule on Court cases after he died.
