Ruth Bader Ginsburg weighed in yesterday on when she might retire:
NY POST – Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said on Sunday that she hopes to stay on the bench for another 5 years.
Ginsburg was speaking in Manhattan following the performance of a play about the late Justice Antonin Scalia when she made the estimate.
“I’m now 85,” Ginsburg said, according to CNN. “My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years.”
Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993.
According to CNN, Ginsburg has already hired law clerks this year that will take her through 2020. The fact that she suggests she might have five more years means she’s more than likely going to retire during the presidency of whoever wins in 2020. Meaning Democrats better get their act together and defeat Trump so she can retire in peace. Because it’s gonna happen.
