There are two Supremes who are near retirement/death, and when Kamala is president she can recalibrate the SCOTUS. Perhaps we can then fix CU and Roe and other shit this SCOTUS has done.

If they don't die, there is NO WAY they'll retire, with a Democrat in the White House! Just like Sandra Day O'Connor. No, we need an overwhelming Democratic victory this November in all 3 sections of government, so we can permanently fix these issues. There are at least 2 on the Court who NEED to be impeached - for historical precedence. There are 3 more who, in the opinion of many, are there illegitimately. But the 2 for sure need to go! Then, expand the Court to 13. THEN, start the process of righting the wrongs committed by this corrupt Court.
One of the most discouraging things to me was how Ruth Bader Ginsberg refused to retire despite being very sick. Her behavior made the path open for Amy Comey Barrett, and changed the already fragile 5 to 4 vote on SCOTUS to a nearly unbreachable 6 to 3.
Yeah, her husband was suffering from Alzheimer's, and she wanted to go home and care for him, but she wouldn't go unless Bush was declared the winner. What happened within chambers would be pure speculation, but...
I remember the story about her husband. But I had no idea about her willingness to "abandon" him (I know, not fair to use such language) unless Bush won. Whew!
I know it's not a funny topic, but I'm kinda chuckling here. No way would she "abandon" him, she just wouldn't have been able to care for him at their Arizona home. She probably would have had him brought to D.C., and into a care center of some kind; she was not the type of person to do otherwise, in my opinion.
I agree. (I think I remember that he became so demented that he forgot who she was, and fell in love with a demented female patient. I admired O'Conner so much because she said, "He doesn't remember me, and if he can find some happiness during this stage of his life, that's OK with me." Talk about a mature response!)

While I agree with your viewpoint, Daniel, Sandra Day O'Connor did retire from the court.
Yes, but her comment was that she WOULDN'T if Gore won the election!
Wow! I didn't know that.
