"Who are you going to get who will be better than me?"

For a supreme court justice she sure seems to have problems with simple logic.

I can tell her who they can get who is better than her.

Someone younger and healthier who can ensure the court has a chance to get a left of center majority eventually. If a pub is elected in 2016 and she then dies there is another Scalia for a couple of decades.

And it matters little that they be a flaming liberal, all that matters is that they vote with the dems. So we can change the constant right wing voting from 5/4,5/4,5.4 to 4/5,4/5,4/5.

It is a numbers game, not an intellectual game.

<<WASHINGTON, July 31 (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has a message for liberals who have been saying the 81-year-old should step down while Democratic President Barack Obama is in office so he can appoint her successor: Who are you going to get who will be better than me?

Referring to the political polarization in Washington and the unlikelihood that another liberal in her mold could be confirmed by the Senate, Ginsburg, the senior liberal on the nine-member bench, asked rhetorically, "So tell me who the president could have nominated this spring that you would rather see on the court than me?"
