By refusing to step down and knowing she was terminally ill she in effect gave the GOP a 6-3 in the SCOTUS so when Trump wins and the Dems cry foul as Hilary has said they will, the SCOTUS will be there to confirm the actual winner. My money is on the Cuban lady from Florida, Barbara Lagoa. Her appointment will ensure the Donald gets every Cuban vote and they will turn out. Dems have fooked up in Fla. by being so far left. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

When you wonder why suddenly academic lunatics want to ban words like "mankind" "manmade" "serviceman" "postmaster" then look no further than RBG. She championed this nonsense to change the "feel" of society so citizens are less likely to value their heritage and culture and vote Left. She was not to keen on the traditional family either and listed hundreds of words that should be eliminated. When you wonder why the world is going mad and why the democratic Christian West is encouraged to hate itself then remember RBG as a loyal soldier in that cause.

But in the end her self importance will change the US for a long time if a conservative judge gets on. If so, the next time the Dems get in they will expand the court to however many they think will serve their left wing agenda. I don't think America will ever knowingly elect a left wing government, it's the by stealth method the dems rely on. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition.
