It is sad that she is dead, but she should have retired a while ago.
No, she shouldn't have. Wanna know why there was such an online campaign push for her retirement?
Because she was the tie-breaking vote in the Senate judiciary committee, and Mitch McConnell blocked her replacement.
If she had retired, all of Joe Biden's executive or judicial nominations, would've been dead in the water.
You should be glad she kept going to confirm as many of his picks as long as she could, because now problems are on the way.
She should have retired over a decade ago. She’s responsible for her part of all this mess because she kept a seat that could have gone to someone younger for over a decade longer than she should have.
