So again spare me.
(Checks mud pit, confirms.)
Seriously, spare us. Your TDS is tiresome.
The Senate had every right to do what it did, in fact the Democrats came up with the idea first. So spare us the butt hurt. It has passed the "Old" stage and entered "Manic"

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.
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.
Ginsburg barely knows what year it is.
You wouldn't want to get into an argument with her. She'd tie you up in a neat little bow within a few seconds.

Steal implies an illegal action, can you explain to ATS, what illegal action McConnel took?
I personally wonder why didn’t she retire herself?? She thinks only she can do her job???

Way to water down your partisan insults. I didn't even mention Trump. If being bitter about Republican partisan trickery == TDS then you guys have ruined the gravity of that insult. Thanks for lowering the attack value of it to the same as calling me a "libtard" or some other dumb, overused slur that we liberals like to use ironically to poke fun at you guys.

Oh yes, it ALWAYS has to circle around back to the Democrats' fault. Republicans are Saints and never do anything nefarious or self-serving. And if they do its because the Democrats made them do it. LOL
BTW, just because the Senate and McConnell was allowed to hold up the nomination doesn't make it the correct or ethical move to do.

This is actually evidence that Mueller and by extension, Obama, have nothing on Trump.
If they did, they'd have leaked it or released it to avoid having Trump determine who will be on the Court.

So we are to deduce you have zero anger with Trump as POTUS and making nominations, right.
And yes, the Democrats are to blame and it circles back to them. The Senate's choice was correct to delay. How was waiting for the Presidential election and choice of the People not ethical? Again, spare us.

I blame McConnell first, second and third for stealing the initial SCOTUS nomination. Then fourth I blame McConnell again for holding up all of Obama's lower court picks forcing the Democrats to implement the nuclear option so that Obama could nominate judges in the first place. Finally, all the way down at fifth I blame Democrats filibustering Gorsuch and playing their hand too early.
At no point does any of the nonsense you just typed in your OP factor into any of my blame though.

I disagree.
If there was any evidence of wrong-doing on the part of Trump then that information would have been released or leaked before he lowered taxes, ended the Obamacare mandate, appointed judges.
He has basically shredded Obama's legacy. If Obama had an ounce of damning evidence, it'd been out by now.

An executive order wouldn’t have quite cut it, so no, there’s nothing he could have done.

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