Damn right. No one was calling for Ginsburg to step aside and she had served much longer and was much older. What’s the difference between 6-3 and 7-2 anyway? Alito and Thomas will retire. That’s the court sown up til 2060

Did you know that you can sponsor trees or an area of woodland for as little as €1 ?
You can design your own digital certificate, the ideal Christmas present for anyone who loves nature?
And it's not just a tree, we set aside space for nature, forever.
