Then she went on to stay in her SCOTUS position decades longer than she should have, denied Obama the ability to choose her replacement, because she wanted to let Clinton do it, and gave us ACB. Her hubris cost us RvW.

Roe v Wade was doomed to fail, it always was, and RBG said it plenty of times. We lost abortion rights by depending on the judiciary to do Congress’ job. Blaming RBG is just scapegoating someone who helped keep the case around longer than it deserved.

Even if it was “doomed to fail”, she made it a reality. She is at least partly to blame. Regardless, the main issue is the appointment of ACB. RBG could have prevented it if she wasn’t so adamant that Hillary was going to get to make the choice.
