RBG was a decent human being to devoted so much of her life to helping.
As to the politics: Too many of my friends think because the Democrats wanted the Garland nomination to go through that *THEY* are the hypocrites for telling the Republicans to stay consistent and not nominate anyone now. The disconnect is maddening.
Had the GOP allowed the nomination in 2016 then the Democrats would have no argument now...but they didn't so they do.
Not that Republicans (or their supporters) care. They will simply do what they want and then DEMAND they be treated as equals when/if they are in the minority again. For once I hope that if that happens the Democrats rub the GOP's nose in the crap they are spewing.
If you are on the other side of the argument from 2016 then you are a hypocrite. I thought Garland should get a vote, and I think Trump's nominee should get a vote, but if the Democrats want to do what they can to hold off the vote then that's fair payback, but not the way it should be.
