Well, that's the thing. Soros is buying Ruthie's Tahitian Noni Juice by the case now. Her little plan was originally to wait until the 2016 election was over and then retire after hillary was elected so that she could do the appointment. That plan having failed her next shot was to at least wait for the senate composition to change at midterms. That looked like a possibility for a while but not looking good now. People might ask, "well why the frig didnt she just step down when Obama was president." Except that plan blew up too. Scalia died unexpectedly and the Merrick Garlands appointment got hung up/resisted. So if she had stepped down then, the whole thing could have shit the bed. Garland's nomination would have been hung up and then her replacement as well. Not good. Let's face it. McConnell is a dud but he done good both with the Merrick Garland thing and Kavanaugh thing, and the lower courts as well. Yup. It's gonna be duct tape, bondo, and Noni Juice to hold Ruthie together. That works for a while but it is definitely getting to be "more than a while" at this point.
Ruth indeed has to make it 2 more years(or 1 if republicans arent hypocrites and follow the Garland rule,which if course they wouldn't) If she makes it to Jan 2021 Trump will be out of there.Ruth steps down and Clarence Thomas is 80 and Alito is 68.Both can go during the next presidents term. Dems take the Senate big in 2020 and might be able to come up with enough votes to impeach Kavanugh.Long shot but possible.
