A while back there was a short discussion about Ruth Ginsberg retiring from the USSC while Stumpie was the so-called prez. I said, I hope not, but I too thought she's getting old and she's been sick and it didn't seem that unlikely.
So the article below is about that topic. Her plan is to serve 9 more years, or more. She would have had to retire 4 years ago to have a Democrat appoint her successor, which would have been 13 years before she was ready. I can see why she didn't do it.
