Obama was either COMPLETELY clueless...or was so confident that loser Hillary would be the next POTUS, that he didn't ask Ginsburg to gracefully retire during his term, so as to be able to nominate a nice, young, leftist, replacement for her chair.....Folks, you know I'm right.

Oh right, like the conservatives in Congress were going to let him do that. He had every right to replace Scalia, but they stopped him, remember?
Nope, this is all on conservatives and Trump, who is kissing conservative ass.

No, you're not. Ginsburg could easily have told Obama to go pound sand. She's not stupid. Obama has a right to his opinion, but a President's powers do not include dictating to SCOTUS members when they ought to retire.

Obama (like every President) had every right to nominate a SCOTUS replacement. That does not mean the President gets to automatically replace the SCOTUS who retires or dies. The Senate has a say too.

Ginsburg barely knows what year it is.

Which means Obama didn’t have control over it, which means he is not to blame.
